If I could have Mattel make any non WWE line, it would be WCW, ECW, TNA, and ROH, just to have shiny VAC Championship Title Belts from these 4 Professional Sports Wrestling Entertainment companies.

Has there ever been a time when more companies have been making wrestling figures at the same time?

I really believe that WWE should have some working relationship with TNA which could include action figures by Mattel. People might be less likely to buy TNA figures in another form, but if they were similar to WWE then they might be more likely. Think of all the guys in WWE who used to be in TNA and vice versa. They should have some kind of talent exachange deal. You know, like let Mattel make TNA figures like the WWE ones and then in exchange WWE gets some TNA video library footage or Mattel can make someone like AJ Styles in a TNA attire, you know. I just really want action figures of wrestlers in TNA (like EC3 and Davey Richards, for example, even DJ Z) but I don't think it will ever happen again at this point, so in the odd chance that it does, why not Mattel?

Not bashing just being completely honest but I don't think id want mattel getting any of the licenses that I want. they can probably do a better job than Hasbro any some of the lines that they have but that's even iffy. I have been collecting ls and less of the wwe line lately in favor of other companies like NECA. I would much rather a company like NECA have all of the licenses that i want

Nothing, because most of what Mattel makes is half-assed. Take their Halo line, it's not bad, but there are almost no paint apps. I bought one figure, that was enough.

Something I've wanted them to do for a long time is a remake of Remco's Lost World of Warlord and some of the other knock-off Masters of the Universe-style figures using the MOTU Classics buck. They have the DC license and parts library to do it with minimal new tooling. And it'd be some nice payback because they lost a lawsuit against Remco back then.
I think a remake of the Real Ghostbusters would also be sweet, and they hinted at one time that it was coming, but I doubt it is anymore.
I'd also love for them to do Advanced Dungeons and Dragons figures, both the cartoon and LJN line, if only because of their working relationship with the 4 Horsemen, who would be faithful to, and do incredible stuff with, that line. But I believe the property falls under Hasbro's umbrella, so not happening.

A Rocky line would be pretty awesome. They're already making DC Multiverse which is the only other theme I collect. It would be cool if they re did their movie master line and made more random movie figures. Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, Rambo, Commando etc

Mattels wwe line is by far their best. the dc multiverse are REALLY bad IMO. I stick to DC colelctibles for my dc stuff. their ghostbusters stuff was pretty terrible too I stick to diamond select for those

Thundercats (don't let the line die) Brave Starr Ghostbusters cartoon
I known its supposed to be non wwe but I'd love a carton accurate line of hulk hogan's rock n' wrestling figures.

Mortal Kombat X, even though I dont like how the Mortal Kombat action figure license is always jumping from one toy company to another. We would get more affordable 6-7" figures of Alien and Predator and crossover possibilities like Mortal Kombat vs DC, Superman vs Aliens, Batman vs Predator, etc.

Yeah, those Halo figs are awful. Let's not even get started on the movie figs in their DC Multiverse line with their innacurate physiques, and how little they look like the actors portraying them. The WWE line is the only one they do well

This would be sick, along with Street Fighter, Marvel, and horror classics. Just imagine a faction of MK Ninjas, Blanka vs. Akuma, Black Panther and Sabretooth vs. Wolverine and Beast, and Michael Myers vs. Ghostface. It would be awesome Id love to have sub zero from all the games, even in some of the dlc looks, same with scorpion. But i need more kitana, mileena, goro, reptile, noob, smoke, and all the way yp to cassie cage and jacqui briggs. Not just the same old raiden, lui kang, etc.

Star Wars they'd probably stick to a certain theme or style for several years unlike Hasbro, where they overproduce one series and maybe do another series before they pull the plug within the same year, put more figures out per year hopefully have better taste than Hasbro does, for example, making Black Series Boba Fett an SDCC exclusive they'd likely cater more to Americans, because Hasbro will sometimes release something in one obscure country and nowhere else maybe they'd have more interaction with their customers, Hasbro people almost never talk directly to collector forums, if they did 12" figures like Ken/Barbie, they'd look pretty darn good, they'd probably get higher quality character likenesses overall. Vehicles and playsets would probably still be unreasonably expensive though Ummm... Boba Fett came out in the second wave. Same exact figure except the SDCC version includes Han in Carbonite.

Star Wars. Hasbro are awful, they look so cheap. Also the Rocky movies are a great shout, the Jakks ones were cool which I sold off, I had a complete collection minus the 1/100 creed but Mattel would do a better job. Are you kidding me?! The 6" Star Wars Black figures make Mattel's stuff look like pure s__t!

"Warriors come out and play...Warriors come out and Play"
Really I wish they would bring back their DCUC and just focus mainly on the Batman (and family) Justice League (Big 7) and Green Lantern properties. Also bring back the '66 Batman line and the 3.75" Multiverse line (but make it game, comic and movie based figures)

Honestly... NJPW.
Just imagine an Elite Jushin "Thunder" Liger or Tiger Mask? That would be so sick. Then you have the likes of Okada, Tanahashi, Young Bucks, Kota Ibushi, Minoru Suzuki etc. I'd buy them all.
If we're talking "non" wrestling then a UFC set would be amazing aswell. If they were the same size and style as the WWE figures. Conor McGregor, Ronda Rousey, Jose Aldo would be BIG wants for me.

Make a line of figs from TV shows. A Buster Bluth figure is something I would love to have. An Andy Dwyer. A Dwight Schrute.
