The Royal Rumble 1991 Warrior. To come with purple strap Winged Eagle and USA leather jacket This. Also, I'd love the WM XX Eddie done in Elite form. These and the SummerSlam 2005 Shawn Michaels.

Ultimate Warrior - Green trunks- really surprised they even made this a basic as it's such an iconic look. The basic is way too tall as well.
Sting - Green version for him. I would presume proper height hopefully as has been stated many time his legs are way too short on the basic and look almost Dean Malenko like.

Off the top of my head...
- SummerSlam British Bulldog (...would have loved it as a DM figure with the UK cape and IC title) - Red trunks Flair with robe - Green trunks Warrior (as others have said, it's such an iconic look) - WMX Razor Ramon - Brown tights/white shirt Mankind (again, an iconic look) - Sid Justice
...and pretty much all of the Entrance Greats figures.

I wish we would have gotten the entire 1st Nexus group in Elite form. But as bad as E11 Wade Barrett warmed in my area forever, I understand why we didn't
also
Royal Rumble Heritage HBK Tommy Dreamer Wrestlemania Heritage Ricky Steamboat Wrestlemania Heritage Macho Man Summerslam Heritage Ted DiBiase BAF Paul Bearer Chris Jericho both the Punk and Vince from their Battlepack Summerslam Heritage HHH Survivor Series Heritage The Rock Survivor Series Heritage Big Show WM 28 HHH Summerslam Heritage Randy Orton
I'm sure I could go on and on. But those are a few

Not sure what that means or if it was directed at me, but I'm not Haunted. I'm MWFD - been here a while now. Some good suggestions - I forgot about SummerSlam '98 Triple H or Honky Tonk Man in blue. Also, I'm sure The Undertaker SummerSlam heritage line would be a good choice too (albeit with a new headscan). In fact, Mattel could do worse than to take the entire most recent SummerSlam heritage line and re-do them all in Elite form (Bulldog, Batista, Undertaker, Duggan).

I would have much rather had the Sgt. Slaughter and Sid Justice basics as the Elite versions, and the Legends 1 Slaughter and Sycho Sid as the basics.

B48 Ric Flair (elite with red robe, we need more Flair robes)
B49 Ricky Steamboat (This might actually happen now that we are getting a Macho Man WM3 figure)
WM Heritage Mr. Perfect (re-release this figure as an elite with corrected torso, both existing Mr. Perfect elites look terrible aesthetically IMO due to the weird torso which makes him look very skinny)

Not sure what that means or if it was directed at me, but I'm not Haunted. I'm MWFD - been here a while now. Remember the user Haunted who was around last week whose posts you were pretty fond of? You should know that he seemed to be here a while as well because he took a liking to you. He took such a liking that I think he wanted to be just like you. If I take things he did, and things you do and mix then them up, its really hard to tell who is who. And its odd, because reading Haunted's posts, they read like an article or YouTube video. Who needlessly added ... in their thread title better...?" As great as HOF line was, what a waste Series 4 is..." " To anyone with an IKEA Detolf cabinet..." " When you start getting down on Mattel, Never Forget..." " I just don't get Mattel's logic with their opening lineups.." " I'm working on a new WhatCulture article about bad figures.." Who used no doubt better?"Owen was a great in-ring worker, no doubt, and from all accounts, an even better human being and husband/father/friend." "I see him demanded all the time. Don't get me wrong. He deserves a figure no doubt." Who used parenthesis to add a secondary thought in the middle of a sentence better?"For the first lineup of a WWE legends series, Mattel chose 4 superstars who had arguably (and in some cases inarguably) better careers outside the WWF/WWE than in it." "There is no reason in hell for the Wild Samoans to be series 1 (or any series until the line has taken off) of an Elite Tag series that has failed in that format twice before." "As a kid, I collected WWF Hasbros, JustToys BendEms (during those awkward years when WWF was considered a dead brand and was "in-between" toy partnerships), as well as the first several series of Jakks with Bone Crunching Action, but stopped around 1998." "We finally got another crack at Elite Tag Teams. And their first choice is NOD Rock and Farooq? Really? Two figures no one asked for (or one of the most fringe requests ever)." Who is talking here?"I'm including this one to illustrate the impact that a good set of character and attire choices can have on a line. In my opinion, this was the best initial lineup Mattel has done. Is it any coincidence then that the series not only still exists, over 2 years later, but has expanded to include 4-packs and 2-packs? No, it isn't. Despite some shelf-warming individual figures and some questionable shipping schedules, the Target-exclusive Hall Of Fame series remains one of the most popular of Mattel's entire WWE lineup and it was boosted out the gate thanks to a solid roadmap." "Overall, I just feel like Mattel starts up these awesome lines only to crap on any opening momentum with poor choices. I know people are going to be butthurt about what I'm saying, but this thread isn't about just mindlessly trashing Mattel. It's a discussion. I love their figures. But I just don't understand why they think a line is going to be really successful if they keep opening up with crappy/obscure lineups. Yet, I really want to know if maybe their sales are better than what they appear? I mean, I feel like the fact that several of the lines I mentioned above are already cancelled kind of speaks for itself. But maybe there's more to the story that I'm not seeing." Which would make this banter back and forth hilarious because even though Haunted loved to argue, he did have sympathizers, but why did he single you out to go the extra distance to make sure he stated he enjoyed you & your post even though other people liked his thoughts just the same? Haunted to MWFD: "You are the first person in this thread who loves old school (judging by your sig) and actually understood what I'm saying. You didn't take offense or see my thoughts as some kind of reflection of my own feelings and/or disrespect towards those wrestlers. That's pretty refreshing on a forum where so many of its members are incredibly myopic." MWFD to Haunted: "Thanks, Haunted. Yes, I do love old school wrestling and figures. In fact, it's all I collect. I do not own one action figure of a current or modern WWE superstar." He also made mention that a specific user, PJ, was a Mattel apologist. He was only around for several days, how could he know the behavior of someone that well to fire it off that quick, unless it was a user who was here for a while? You have a fantastic and beautiful collection, but they were looking at buying some IKEA cabinets for theirs to spruce up their collection, I think he's trying to outdo you being you. Bottom line, Haunted made some great talking points and was well spoken and articulated, you make great talking points and are well spoken and articulated. It would be great to have more of that around, without the belligerence and jumping to petty insults so quickly that I've seen you do and Haunted loved to do.

It's funny to see so many say they want Warriors redone as an elite but so many complain that he has too many figs. But I have to agree that RR91 Warrior would be my number 1 redo. Any Warrior, Sting, Savage, Hart, etc I would rebuy as an elite. Hopefully MattelDesignTeam reads this thread and we have a shot at it being remade

I would like Entrance Great's Jericho and the recent blue tights Edge made into an elite with a better face scan. Also, almost all basics RVD figures. And one more, red gear Batista.
