What are figures that you requested on this forum for Mattel to make. Only for the figure to be made and you ended up not buying it. It could be in the Elite, Basic, Battlepack, Defining Moment or other.
Was your reason because: You didn't like the head scan You didn't like the attire You didn't like body molds used or other

I requested for an Elite Rhyno so bad! With the recent prototype that came out....I was just so disappointed with that shoulder mold they used. I'm hoping they make a new flashback Rhyno (red) with a smaller shoulder mold.

Great question.
I haven't bought a flashback jericho yet. I wasn't specific originally but now I know it has to be wcw Jericho.
I request any and all macho mans and surfer stings. But I hate dm gab attire and I hate batb macho with sting facepaint so I don't own them.
That's it I think.
I hate apa faarooq but I bought it. The nod one is a little better. I need the acolytes.

I wanted a late '95 to early '96 Sting where he was growing out his hair and was just about to become the Crow. Then TNF BATB Sting came out and I went bonkers when I saw photos of it. I went to Walmart to pick up a set just for that figure specifically and was let down big time when I saw it's big 'ole lollipop head in person. Maybe I'll pick it up loose later down the road and fix it up.

I don't there's a specific figure that I wanted and then didn't buy. Like Mongo Bears, I wanted a FB Jericho and have not bought the RSC one. That head scan was too bad for me to spend that much on him. If the rumors are true that the 4th DM will be Undisputed Jericho and it had a new head then maybe I will get two and finally purchase RSC to headswap.

I really wanted Magnum T.A. to be released from prototype hell. Obviously I'm not privy to the politics behind the scenes, but as a consumer I couldn't understand why you signed this talent to a contract, prototyped the figure which costs $, invested in marketing materials which cost $, then sat on it until his contract ran out! It's not like Magnum T.A. is my favourite wrestler or anything (Sting is!) but it just seemed so nonsensical for them to do.
I also know if we didn't get behind the effort to release someone like Magnum, then figures like JYD wouldn't stand a chance because Bill seems more hyped on attitude-era than golden-era. Anyways they finally release Magnum...with black trunks! I was so disappointed because the Proto was awesome. if Apoc didn't crack a red pair of L1 Terry Funk trunks for me years ago, I wouldn't have been able to build my own red-trunks Magnum.
So I ended up buying him (which isn't the point of your thread I know), but modded him heavily, or I wouldn't have bought him at all.

None. I told Bill if he made Barry Windham that I would buy 3....I bought 4!

Sycho Sid. Even when it dropped below $10, I still couldn't pull the trigger.

None. For years GAB Sting was a huge want of mine and I gladly purchased multiples of it. Magnum TA was another figure I really wanted and although the changed the vest and put him in black trunks I still gladly purchased multiples of him.

I would by em anyways. I was disappointed with road dogs shirt on the elite I felt he should have had one molded and another one that could just go over it. I hate how the shirt looks on him , however he is still the first elite I ever bought.

I still haven't purchased Wolfpac Sting. I like the figure, just haven't pulled the trigger yet.

I've been pining for a Ken Shamrock figure in Mattel form... and apparently he's on deck. I'll preorder a few without even seeing a proto. I'm gonna roll the dice. I owe it to myself and to Mattel for coming through on this one.

Gotta say Rhyno. I had high hopes, and man whas I disappointed with the results. Hopefully it gets reworked and doesn't come out to jacked up.
