How many of you remember clipping the flag points off the boards and boxes of all your GI Joe toys, and then sending them in along with a check to cover shipping and handling to get new GI Joes?
I would love to see this idea brought back into toy lines, especially the Mattel WWE line since that's what I collect the most. I know they did something similar with the Vince and Triple H suited figures and I think Mankind was going to be the next one. I think with those you send in the UPC proofs of purchase.
It could be 1 point for a basic figure, 2 points per Elite and Battle Pack, 3 points for a basic ring, 4 or more points for something bigger, such as an entrance stage, large scale ring, or other playset.
Then Mattel could offer a new mail away figure or two every season. To keep costs low, it could be repaints of people who have a lot of different attires ( Styles, Macho, Warrior, HBK, Edge, etc). Or it would be another way to release more obscure characters, similar to how they've released Shockmaster and Isaac Yankem as SDCC exclusives.
