Post by 💯ULTIMATE💯 on Jun 4, 2020 20:32:29 GMT -5
First off, I would just like to say that I think that Mattel has done one hell of a job with the WWE line and as the years go by new improvements are made. Things like retooling/articulation, new sculpts, accessories, TRUE FX, etc., make these figures superior to Mattel’s early work. That being said, the one figure that sticks out to me is the first Defining Moments Wrestlemania 7 Ultimate Warrior. Although at its time it was great, it has aged poorly due to the new accessories and sculpts made since then. Since then, Mattel has improved the arm tassels, fringed wristbands and a mullet head sculpt. The perfect recipe needed to make the Wrestlemania 7 Warrior accurate. If I could ask for a redo on one Mattel WWE figure, it would be Wrestlemania 7 Warrior for sure!  Comment which past figure you would like Mattel to redo? |

Mattel does a great job and makes a lot of amazing figures. But there's a lot of stuff that's either awful, or something much better could have been used.
Survivor Series Elite Jeff hardy
- Add his arm tattoo which he had at the time. Don't know why it was left off, but it was a dumb decision.
Walgreen's DX Shawn Michaels
- Change the head to his Basic 4, or Basic 100 head, and give him the right hair colour... The ponytail head it came with is awful and i wish they'd retire it.
Walgreen's DX Triple H
- Change the head to an actual 2005/2006 HHH look with the Lemmy stache. A new headscan with a sculpted stache and not a lazy repaint of an older headscan like they did those 2 Basics.
Elite 29 CM Punk
- Add the kickpad designs he wore at SummerSlam 2013. Also TrueFX the head.
Elite 14 & HOF King Booker
- Swap the head with his BAF head. So much better than the head that came with both Elites.
Every Edge Elite
- Though i'm not too bothered by it, swap for a bigger torso. Also new headscans that actually look like Edge. I've got the Jakks RA35 head on my HOF Elite, and it looks 1000x better than any head Mattel has done so far.
Elite 50 Rhyno
- We all know WHY.

Andre with a black molded singlet. And since they love to do 2 in 1 for him then put it under a shirt, sport coat, and pants. Make him a chase and do a blue molded singlet too.

I guess I'll also go with a Warrior, for Flashback Ultimate Warrior I would get rid of the tv stand accessory and add the leather jacket he wore at the event, I would also change the color of the belt strap from light blue to light purple, and I would give him the head of the basic Warrior they released in the same attire which had blonde hair. Flashback figure that was released  Basic figure with the blonde hair  Jacket he wore at RR91  Purple strap WWF title belt  |

Other fixes:
Legends 2 Rick Rude - add the detail on the back of the tights
E29 Andre the Giant - molded singlet
Legends King Kong Bundy - molded singlet
E70 Vince McMahon - make him shorter and give him a better head sculpt
HOF Macho King - give him the shirt he wore with the tights
RR91 Macho King - make the orange parts pink and give him his hat, correct glasses, and jacket
BAF Basic Ted DiBiase - make him an elite and give the suit a shiny paint application

My biggest wants would be the interchangeable hands for those that would need them for entrances/poses. (Edge, X-Pac, Christian, etc.)

Wolfpac Macho Man with the Elite 23 head instead of the 80s Defining Moments one.   Also molded gloves instead of painted and a black knee brace. |

RSC DX Shawn Michaels. He needs the blue on the logos. Just isn’t the same without it.
Also, UE Bret Hart. I would have went with the black splatter painted pants instead of the pink ones.

- We all know WHY. What was the issue with Rhyno? His ridiculously oversized shoulders and arms. They completely ruined the figure... Which sucks because it was his only Elite. I'm a big Rhyno fan and ever since Mattel got the licence, i was hoping they'd do an Elite of him one day. Then when they finally do, this is the result. Final Release vs A Fix-up i found  |

Trish Stratus Basic - Use the full shirt torso mold. I don't care if it means her chest isn't accentuated, the only easily accessible Trish figure is trash because they used the wrong torso.
Liv Morgan Elite - Remake the same figure, only make it actually available this time
Shane Wrestlemania XV Basic - Get rid of the baseball jersey overpiece and just mold/paint the shirt on. I get that he wasn't actually wearing a T-Shirt (It was a Hockey Jersey) but not having it tucked in ruins the figure for me
BOTH Shane Flashbacks - Give them elbow pads dangit.
Elite Bella Twins - Both their hair-sculpts are bad. Brie's isn't the best, but Nikki's is really bad. There must be a better way to do their looks than that.
IIconic's Elites - For Exclusives, there is a woeful amount of sculpting on either of these. Actually, I'm pretty sure Peyton's entire outfit is just painted on. And the lack of double jointed knees is troubling. Just... bad.
Stephanie Wrestlemania Basic - I have yet to see one of these with decent facial paint apps. Even ones without glaring errors, I swear the eyes are crooked.
Every single Ricochet - The height. Please fix the height. I want one but I'm not buying any until he's the correct height.
Basics in general - Please improve the scale. There are too many glaring issues here to mention but in particular, every Lana I've seen yet (I've yet to hold B109), as well as the Zelina Vega BP figure, is too tall.
Those are the ones I can think of right now.

Would love if Samoa Joe got all new tooling. The current Joe figures don't offer a large range of mobility for posing and he's definitely too small. A man as intimidating as Joe should get a figure befitting him.

Elite 16 CM Punk. Give him a stubble headscan instead of a full beard. Make him more accurate to MITB 2011. Maybe give him an open hand and the blowing Vince a kiss headscan.
