Watching NXT tonight got me thinking. Also along with the long wait of the NXT line. But are we starting to fall behind fast with all this new talent? And the NXT line is the only one that's giving us those new faces.
Should Mattel just start slipping in 1 nxt name per elite series to help us out?
Not even to mention the 205 names we are still behind on.
Thank you

To answer your question, yes we are falling behind

Yes, definitely.
I don’t get why the NXT Basic Series 3 didn’t show up with the third Elite NXT Series. I really need the Billie Kay and Roderick Strong figures.
But to get back on the subject, we literally get the same faces over and over and over whether it’s Basic, Elite or Battle Packs. It’s okay sometimes obviously when wrestlers get new, exciting gear but other times...I just don’t get why they aren’t pushing in some new faces instead of the same ones constantly.
I’d love to see any member of Sanity, Peyton Royce, Aleister Black, Velveteen Dream, Undisputed Era, Kairi Sane, Pete Dunne, Shayna Bazler, Candice LeRae (I know that will be a minute), Zelina Vega...literally any 205 Live roster guys, The Riott Squad, Absolution, etc., etc.
But yeah, there definitely needs to be more new faces. Even characters like Jinder Mahal (I know we are getting him soon but it took awhile), Shelton Benjamin, Aiden English, Elite Almas, Kalisto, etc. that need updates.

I also think wwe has gotten so many new guys recently. However, Mattel should focus on getting some of the big new names out instead of the 1289597th Roman/Cena

I've made a thread years ago that mostly all new faces we will get will be NXT. And years later it shows. We just need a more frequent and exciting way of getting those fresh faces

They're always lagging behind. They have so many characters to cover and have to budget/schedule so far in advance that turnaround time can be extremely long for some releases. Hell, we just finally got an Elite Charlotte and she's wearing her Wrestlemania 32 attire from 2 years ago. The new Zack Ryder is also based on a 2016 attire.
They also make questionable lineup choices on occasion. The NXT Rusev comes to mind immediately. It's a cool figure for what it is, but the NXT line has limited spots and endless wants and possibilities, and they chose an unbelievably boring figure that Bill admitted nobody asked for.

I never understood the constant need for Cena and Reigns figures too in those basic series.
It's not like Cena or Reigns changes up their look at all. So you are telling me that kids still don't have a Cena or Reigns to play with?? Highly unlikely. Once you get one each of those guys, you are pretty much set forever since their look is never gonna change.

My main want are legends and flashbacks, so in sense they’re almost 30 years behind 🤣

I’m not sure that it’s falling behind, or more the fact that they have a huge roster. It feels like they’re trying to please everyone with all of the exclusive lines, but not everyone will be pleased because there are a lot of unrealistic wants. The only thing that bothers me just slightly is having half of the NXT exclusive line with people on the main roster who already have other elites. Hopefully they move away from that as there are so many people in NXT who could and should be in this line.

They make those Cena and Reigns figures in their droves for a reason ... kids do buy them ... otherwise they would stop making them. I agree with you that they are pretty much all the same, but the reality is they all sell so Mattel will keep making them. |

Braun is next up as getting frequent figures with little different about them.
At least there’s others like AJ, KO, and Rollins who we’re getting a lot of but they’re mostly unique.

With new talent constantly being signed and attires always changing, you’ll always be behind.

" i DEMAND *insert legend* it's not fair that there are little to no flashbacks in these sets!" " *inserted legend* is still rotting on the shelves at my local store, it's so annoying! wish they'd just go away" The same can be said about almost every female figure. I can go into any of the Walmart, Target, TRU and Walgreens stores around here and find multiples of Charlotte, Alexa, Becky, Asuka & Mickie elite figures or Nia, Dana, Fox(?) & Natalia basics. The only FB sitting by me are the Walmart basic wave and a lone Scotty 2 Hottie. Ahh, gotta love this boards if I don’t collect it they shouldn’t make it mentality. |

They’ve been signing so many stars the past few years and showcase only a handful.
Any toy company will always be behind at the rate wwe is handing out contracts
