I understand that parts get reused in a line like this, and not everybody has a unique enough body,to justify a new mold for that matter.
I think a lot of these molds are getting old, some should have been retired years ago. Hasbro has retooled their lines over time, retiring some bodies in the process.
Which bodies do you think have overstayed their welcome. I'll leave me answer to just one....... the Swagger/RVD/Perfect singlet body! This thing has always sucked imo, just way to elongated and skinny! We need something better for Kurt Angle and Mr Perfect heads to rest on. I think they are even over this mold,that's why they threw Angle on a Ryback mold.
What would you like to see go the way of the DoDo?

Just for explanation: Large tanktop torso (Kane): Both Kane and Undertaker look absurd in this tight and fit tanktop. Diesel doesn't look great in it, either. They need to make a bulkier one for these guys. Chubby shirt (Owens): The Elite shirt is fine, it's this Basic one that looks bad. He has huge gorilla arms and this very generously small torso that doesn't suit his body type. Wrestling singlet (Swagger): There's a reason Swagger's best figures are both Basics - they fixed his torso problem. Both he and Mr. Perfect need a new singlet. Alien torso (Fandango) This thing terrifies me. Thankfully, it's pretty much retired. Small Elite torso (AJ) This torso works great for some, so I don't want it outright retired, but it's so small on most people they use it on. On AJ, it's not awful but the gratuitous dark chest hair throws it off further. I wonder if the Sin Cara torso would work better...preferably with lighter or less chest hair? Ripped Ryback torso (Jordan) They need to make a larger singlet similar to this but less ripped to ing shreds so Angle and Jordan could look more authentic. The general shape is just fine for those guys, just tweak it a bit.

Definitely the mr.perfect torso. I also believe the wolfpac Sting torso doesn't look too good. However, it's because it's on a pair of thick legs that should have a thicker torso.

I've always despised the basic KO and the Fandango torsos. Did anyone else have 'Dangos? Another one I don't like is Ambroses. It seems too skinny and wiry

It seems too skinny and wiry At least Ambrose is more or less represented with his current torso. Kane/Undertaker, when where they in such a diet that put them to the bones??

The arms that Elite Kevin Owens gets.....they are awful in every aspect. They've also ruined every Bubba Ray Dudley and Luke Gallows figure with those arms.

Jake Roberts' torso. It's easily the worst.
They also make Ric Flair way too jacked.

I don't know if this counts as a mold, but they need to retire the Championship Title Belts that are not shiny VAC versions.

The only mold I think need to be retired is the first Elite Fandango torso. Nobody is build like that. That thing was all kinds of ugly. I would also say the new basic boot molds without the ankle articulation. Jake Roberts' torso. It's easily the worst. They also make Ric Flair way too jacked. What’s wrong with Jake’s torso? It looks good to me. Why would you want it retired? Yes, the HOF figure has the wrong torso, but I wouldn’t want that mold retired as it is still good for other wrestlers. I don't know if this counts as a mold, but they need to retire the Championship Title Belts that are not shiny VAC versions. No thanks. I actually like those more than the vac ones. The Vac ones box around the figure’s waist, because of the clips that hold the plates into the strap. Thus making them look bulky on a figure. By themselves they look great, but on a figure’s waist not so much. The other belts curve around the figures and look better on a figure because of it.

I didn't buy bubba because of it. Jim the anvil has them too. Disastrous. Mattel also has no clue what Flair looks like. Every fig has him jacked to the gills.
