After seeing Mattels WWE protos I've been visiting WFigs more frequently. I was never a big fan of Jakks with the exception of the BnB line. I was a hardcore fan of the Toybiz TNA line and since the Toybiz demise I lost interests in collecting 6" figures and posting passionately altogether. Although I like the Mattels initial steps in a new improved direction I prefer the smaller scale figures and hope we eventually get pint size versions of these figures with the same quality of the larger figs. I would kill to see 3-3.25" mysterio 3.75" bautista and a 4.5" big show with the elite articulation.

I'm a fan of the DC Infinite heroes line and would like to see a WWE line done in the same fashion. I think a smaller scale would have been a better way to go instead of the Flex Force line.

DC Infinite heroes weren't successful. Secondly they had less than 10 point of articulation. Personally I'd prefer something like Takara Microman articulation with Mattel and Sotatoys Paint Applications.

mattel, please dont forget about us 3.75 scale collectors. this collection started by jakks was something i have been waiting for all my life. i have been asking toy companies since 1989 asking them to do this scale for wrestlers just like the G I Joes. Put this License with WWE to good use make this scale. i can promise you once even 1 set hits the store they will fly off the shelves. ringside collectibles have had many back orders with this line. i would Love EVERY guy on the rosters for Ecw, Raw, and Smackdown. i would also LOVE to have the legends Past & Present including Tag teams. furthermore, Infinite heroes should be continued with every DC character possible. Just like JLU. and He-man should be done in this scale also. we have been overlooked too long. you guys have work to do. I got money burning holes in my pocket. but i will NOT spend it on another scale. Make it HAPPEN!

I've been collecting Joes since 82' and around the age of 15 I started drawing blueprints of my favorite WWF stars in GI Joe form such as Undertaker, Piper, Vader, Sid Vicious, JYD, Bret Hart, King Kong, Andre the Giant, Hogan, and Ultimate Warrior. I also had them in a realistic scale to one another. It was awesome but unfortunately I didn't bring it to Hasbro's attention so I got stuck with an unsong creation.

It's not only G.I. Joe- but this scale is nowadays used by EVERY Toy company that produces Action Figures: no matter if it is Hasbro with G.I. Joe, STAR WARS and MARVEL or PlayMates with Terminator and Star Trek. Even the smaller Toy Companies that are producing Movie figures like Pirates of the caribbean, Harry Potter or Narnia, the Kids Toys like Power Rangers or Ben 10. This scale is a MUST HAVE for Mattel with their WWE line. And I think it will happen, maybe late 2010 or early 2011. Until then, I hope we will get Micro and BNB TNA Figs to collect from Jakks.

Yeah, I was hoping those FlexForce figures would have been their version of BNB, but after finding out that all three of their figure types were the same scale, that idea was thrown away.

Yeah I'm still keeping the faith and crossing my fingers. As of now there's nothing really to collect 3.75" other than a few hasbro Wolverine figs and Cinema of Fears 3 set Freddy Krueger, Jason and Texas Chainsaw.

If all these toymakers started with the 3.75" lines I would have been much happier. I'd have so much extra room in my house at this point, but unfortunately they didn't. I have collected so many figures in the 6-7" scales that I just can't afford to start my collections over in that scale. I collected one of each personality in the BNB lines, but I would actually prefer if Mattel did not make this line. I'd prefer they spent their money on the 6-7" scale lines.

I started collecting BnB about 18 months ago, and since then it's been my main line. I haven't bought any 6-7" figures for quite a while. And I've even bought a lot of figures from Indiana Jones, Harry Potter, POTC, Wolverine, DC Infinite, and other lines just to build up my BnB roster (Indy is my Vince McMahon, Mutt is my Shane etc - the Harry Potter kids are for the crowd, though I might use Hermione as a manager). I'd love Mattel to bring out WWE figures in this scale, though with more articulation than their 3.75" DC figures.

microman is ing awesome, i have their street fighter figures and they rule By far and they have more articulation than the TB TNA and ML figs and are only 3.75". The only thing I don't like about Microman is the plastic quality but other than that they are great as I still purchase them on ebay from time to time. I recommend the Kinnikuman line as they are better quality than your typical Takara Microman figs. I wish American companies would incorporate these ideas in designing figures.

If they are not competative with BNB what's the point.

If these would be as awful as Mattel's 3" line, DC Infinite Heroes, then I'd rather they didn't do small-scale WWE at all.

I collected one of each personality in the BNB lines, but I would actually prefer if Mattel did not make this line. I'd prefer they spent their money on the 6-7" scale lines. Please don't encourage Mattel into discarding the 3.75 inch scale.for some of us its a dream to have the entire roster of WWE , legends and all in this size with accessories and FULLY DETAILED and POSEABLE. In the past , toy companies like Hasbro, Galoob, and toy biz have all turned down my suggestions since 1989 (as stated before) i drew sketches and blue prints of each wrestler. galoob told me they where obsolete , Toy biz made WCW 6inch smash and slam wrestlers (not the size wanted) then , they created a 12 inch WCW talking wrestling line (again, way too BIG!!!!!!! ) Hasbro did create the right size , sort of , but only the heads and arms moved. i was very disappointed in Hasbro considering that G I JOE was the biggest and best Action figure line in the 1980s(in my opinion) and with wrestling being a physical sport they where totally unknowledgeable why wouldn't they make them like G I JOE?? you have to wonder sometimes if toy companies REALLY LISTEN to their customers ??! anyway, lately they always seem to cater to the 6 inch collectors which in my opinion is selfish and will soon become obsolete.. i dont understand why they would just make 1 scale and not cater to ALL fans of ALL scales. it makes better business sense financially.! MORE FANS, MORE MONEY .. I have nothing against 6 inch scales i myself have a tub FULL of jakks WWE wrestlers this size only to use them as a model to repaint smaller G I JOE figures and extra build N brawlers i have. 6 inch scales are cool because of the detail and effort put into them, plus the accessories. If MATTEL puts that much effort and DETAIL into the 3.75 inch scale they will sell just as BIG, if not BIGGER then the 6 inch scales. i feel this way because there is already enough 6inch figures floating around as it is and not enough 3.75 inch lines.( How MANY john CENAs, Triple H , and batistia figures do u have in your collection?) some will sell , but a lot will not. 3.75 scale collectors want the same opportunities that the 6 inch collectors have to get the wrestlers we want. Not to be JIPPED because a FEW collectors don't want to have to buy a new scale. Be fair to EVERY collector. Hey P.J. Lewis i want the 3.75 line in its entirety , because i want to play with them . Not to keep in a box so i can sell it in 20 yrs at the flea market ,or keep on a shelf, or in a box. YOU MAKE THE FIGURES AND I'LL MAKE ROOM FOR THEM! ;D I PROMISE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Enclosing, figures like John Morrison should be complete with Long coat and title.Oh yeah , THE MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE should be in this scale also. For those of you that dont agree, REMEMBER, YOU ARE ALREADY HAVE WHAT YOU WANT !!!!! DONT BE GREEDY SHARE THE MARKET!

I would love a 3.75" scale version of the Elite range - figures that come in full gear and/or with accessories. I'd much rather spend £10 on a great, complete 3.75" figure than on a middling, accessory-less 6-7" figure. But I don't mind the 7" scale either.
