Pick your top 15 Mattel Elites from the 80's

MDT has done an excellent job covering the late 80's/early 90's WWF in my opinion. I'd rather see them turn their attention to filling out the roster for 90's ECW or Attitude Era WWF/Monday Night Wars WCW. But I would like to see some of the NWA tag teams like the Freebirds, Midnight Express, and Rock n Roll Express. Dynamite Kid and and Steiners would be dream figures if there was ever a way to make them happen.

I voted for 15 and dynamite kid wasn't one of them haha

Why are the Rock&Roll Express and Freebirds an option but Steiners and Midnite Express listed as individuals?

Steiner Borthers
Killer Bees - with sneakers
Jesse the Body - wrestler attire

ALL ELITES!

In a few weeks, I will take the top ten of your votes from each era and list them.

As of right now if voting ended. (note top 15 – some are ties which make for more than 15)

Surprises about the 90’s

The Biggest surprise to me is that Bob Backlund, Chris Benoit and Giant Gonzales barely get in.
That Chynna and Adam Bomb are so high up.
Kevin Sullivan and Dino Bravo so low
Samba Simba and Skinner would make for good figures but so far out.



Surprises about the 80’s

-Ronnie Garvin (although perhaps a plain figure was the former champion)
-Nikita Koloff and Ivan with all of the Russian hoopla were hated back then and would think they would still be today. Good look for figures.
-Don Muraco was a pretty good heel. Tye Dye shirt would be a cool looking figure.
-Kevin Sullivan was demonic and a good heel.

Surprised Koko B Ware made the list. Not a real threat to win any big matches although in the Hall of Fame. For whatever reason.
Adrian Street would make a great figure but understand.

Monsoon and Ventura make it as announcers over wrestlers


Surprises about the 70’s


-Baron Von Rachke such a bad guy. The German villain. Fun figure this would be with the iron klaw and cape.

-Dick the Bruiser the world’s most dangerous man. I understand it could be a boring figure but iconic tough guy and so low on the voting.

-Surprised that Jerry Briscoe has more votes than his Heavyweight champion brother Jack Briscoe.

Bobo and Big Cat Ernie Ladd don’t have more votes.

-I think Killer Khan would make for such a great figure and never been done before “broke Andre the Giant’s ankle” and would scream like a banshee when he inflicted chops and kicks.

-Not sure what the appeal to Pat Patterson is?

-Rocky Johnson electric performer father of the Rock. Hall of Famer. One of the big deals. Not in.

-The Sheik was a bad dude. Villain and good looking figure.

no greg valentine?
