Best: Elite 50 Warlord Worst: Legends 2 Jimmy Snuka Warlord exceeded my expectations. I think he was over shadowed by Beefcake, but is every bit as good. |

My elite bradshaw has no sleeves. I put the new basic head on it along with Harper type arms and taker cuffs to go along with the painted on gloves. Its great now. Any pictures? |

I'm a fan of Jeff Hardy so I'm going to say that's their best work, but more recently the Target Austin Aries is spot on. I just love his simple attire]
Worst, probably that John Morrison

That's tough.
Probably the worst is the t-shirt series, a while series of t-shirts with painted on sleeves, looked so tacky.
Also up there is when we finally got Undertaker with his straps down and it's just painted on and you can even see the belly button.
For best....hmm...they do amazing Mark Henry figures, it literally feels like having the real wrestler in your hands. His body, his arms, his legs, his hands, everything is so spot on for those figures both Basic and Elite.
Also the Mattel Retro line, I don't love Series 2 but how perfectly Series 1 blends in with the original line and the addition of 2 actual retro characters, really felt like a labour of love.

For best figures, I kind of break them into 2 categories: figures that are so perfect that I wouldn't change a thing about them, and figures that are super impressive to look at. Some perfect figures that come to mind are model rick Martel, Kamala, warlord, and legends earthquake. When I'm showing figures to people and trying to impress them with how far WWE figures have come, I usually whip out both wm7 macho and warrior, sdcc taker, lod, and demolition. At this point though, there are so many impressive mattels that it is tough to pick the best... and for worst, it would have to be a basic, maybe that first Ambrose... as for most disappointing, the super tall l3 mr perfect comes to mind

For a figure to be the worst it has to have Nothing that can redeem it. Rhino can be redeemed with a change of its shoulders.
I'd probably say that one of Big Show's figures is probably the worst. Just nothing you can do with the head, arms, legs. Useless.

Obviously I'm forgetting a bunch but these are just my opinion. It's cliche, but rhyno is the worst figure they've EVER made. The elite roddy with the ridiculous smile is abysmal. Legend 3 mr perfect is trash. The jr baf punk is awful. However, imo, the very worst elite Mattel has ever made is e36 bradshaw. Everything about that figure is wrong. Firstly, instead of making the t shirt figures basics, they made them elites. Them in ring gear would've been way better. The elite molded shirt looks AWFUL. Not only that, they gave him ridiculous 1970s women bell bottoms. He looks like he's getting ready to go to the disco. AS IF THAT WASN'T ENOUGH: they gave him tiny arms. Seriously, bradshaw was a big dude. And the icing on the cake: a horrible, overly cartoony, and GIANT head that essentially gave him no neck. One or two of these issues and the figure is serviceable. Add them all together and it's a giant mess of a figure matched only by the rhyno. In fact I'd say bradshaw is worse. It's sad too because it's probably the only bradshaw we'll get, and the faarooq is pretty decent sans the skin tone. That is the worst figure EVER in elite history.  Best is difficult. Too many to count. I think legends 3 duggan, legends 6 Eddie, elite 6 jtg, elite 47b goldust and elite 17 mankind are all in the running. Jtg may be horrible as a wrestler but that was peek Mattel. Unique sculpting, tons of new accessories and detail, and a great scan. That figure is perfect to me.  That JBL looks like a Jakks deluxe aggression figure lol |
