I honestly could care less because i dont collect G.I. Joe Size figures I'm looking at your info and according to what I read you were into the Toybiz products. What was your favorite line from that company? probably TNA or WCW |

Still waiting, still dreaming. Enriquie has stated in previous interviews that he likes the 3.75 scale as well. We don't want you to discard the 6 inch scale, but we want the same great looking figures in our scale(3.75 or close). I've supported mattel for a lot of years through all of their figures(secret wars 1984, flash gordon 1979-1980, american gladiators 90's to jlu & infinite heroes-present. Yeah, I have them all). You need to realize by not honoring our request for this scale of wwe (& motu), you're spitting in our faces. I'm glad that the 6 inch scale collectors are getting what they ask for, but what about us? If it really is about money and profit, make the figures for us and I'll guarantee you that we, as 3.75 scale collectors will show our support and be loyal to your company. We'll meet your profit expectations. ( just be sure to put out a high quality product like the elite figures). If you have designers that say they're not able to produce these scale figures as well as the 6 inchers, GET SOMEONE WHO CAN!! Having enrique on the team is a step in the right direction. Enrique, please help us out. Don't discard us!

You need to realize by not honoring our request for this scale of wwe (& motu), you're spitting in our faces. I loved Build & Brawlers too, but grow up. "Spitting in our faces"? That's ridiculous, rude, stupid and it completely undermines your post. I'd like to see a 3.75" line too, but after reading your disgusting jerkery, right now I hope that Mattel don't produce figures in that scale, just to spite you. |

I will continue to write & post about it. Just that simple. Can I ask you, which scale do you like best? |

To begin with, I believe that when you're as passionate about something, you fight for it. When a company that you have supported over 30 years can't honor your request, but other collector's requests, I think that is spitting in our faces. What's the problem? All I'm asking for is to have the entire wwe roster(including the legends) in a 3.75 scale. Are you saying that a billion dollar company like Mattel aren't capable of providing this for us?  I'm not going to insult you with a rebuttal of asinine words like the ones you used(that's soo high school). I hope that someday you can be a little more understanding to someone Else's passion for what they want. Maybe even one day you will be passionate about something enough to fight for it. But fight with a little more class. If they don't make them, hey, it's a big let down. But we can always hope. Until then, I will continue to post more ridiculous, rude & stupid disgusting jerkery(is jerkery a real word?) So keep it coming, I look forward to more replies from you. I can't thank you enough for recanting my passion and this forum. After all, any posts are good ones. ;D By the way, to correct your last quote, " I hope Mattel DOESN'T produce figures in that scale, just to spite you is proper english  Minus 32 karma! |

Like others have said, for you to claim that Mattel are spitting in people's faces by not doing so is ridiculous compared to the mass amount of other great figures they've made us. You exaggerate as much as that clown that complained about Taker's WM26 jacket/shirt. Sir,one person that hasn't given up on the idea, and mattel yet... Spitting in OUR faces(meaning 3.75 scale collectors). Which scale do you like best? The answer that you give would make my point. Go to page 1 of this forum, where a designer from mattel says"wwe in a 3 3/4 scale? Given some aspects we probably wouldn't be able to produce as well." Earlier this year in toyfare magazine, when Enrique was working for jakks, they gave an interview about the ufc 3 3/4 scale figures for fall 2010, and I quote, "the 3 3/4 scale we like internally. We could blow that scale out, but it would be cannibalistic to our 6inch scale." Now he works for mattel. If you want to call me ridiculous, that's CLEARLY YOUR PROBLEM. I think that mattel maybe a little intimidated by the challenge and the effort . You said that my compaint was "Ridiculous compared all of the other great figures that mattel has made us" IS THAT RIGHT?? What other great figures are you talking about? Are you referring to Dcu, our MOTU? What scale are they in my friend? The infinite heroes line wasn't as successful as the dcu 6inch line because they CLEARLY didn't put the effort & detail into them. Collectors stated on other websites that they would've been better if they were like hasbro's marvel universe figures, and not so cheaply made. Their major force 3 3/4 figure was a bust because the legs would break if you bent them . People aren't going to spend their hard earned money for a piece of crap. Still, I supported mattel and bought them all. I love the 3 3/4 scale. You wanna talk exaggeration? I think that mattel is overcharging for the 6inch figures. $14.99 for the elite figures(compared to jakks legends, $12.99 when they first came out). Defining moments figures $22-24.00. But just like me, if you like them, you're gonna buy them. The guy that you called a clown for complaining about the undertaker shirt, CLEARLY wanted something he thought was cool, and he should have gotten it. At this point, achieving world peace would be more realistic. God forbid we ask for something, and the toy company gives it to us, rather it be a thousand requests or two hundred. Customers are loyal when they get what they ask for. You really need to check yourself when you try to humiliate other people. This forum is for supporters of the 3.75 scale, Not a bash us forum. If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem... CLEARLY! Please continue to write in with more one-sided views, as it only keeps this forum going and recants the passion. Enrique, I believe in you. Don't discard us. If I have to fight this battle alone, so be it. I'm not going anywhere...  |

The moral of this story is, NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAM. Your dream is to have 3.75 scale mattel figures? Well, actually that, and to have a job running the mattel figures dept. At least then, everybody will get what they ask for! Can you understand that? Sure, why not?! Whose getting hurt by that? |

It's pretty obvious you're just trolling the forums, if you really wanted 3.75" scale figures, you wouldn't go around screaming like a intellectually- disabled baby about Mattel spitting in your face.

It's pretty obvious you're just trolling the forums, if you really wanted 3.75" scale figures, you wouldn't go around screaming like a intellectually- disabled baby about Mattel spitting in your face. Your posts are the rantings of a loon.[/quote I'm really disappointed in your behavior. AGAIN, all I want is to have the wwe roster if figures in 3.75 scale. You continue to post ignorance. Out of all of the things that I have posted, you pick out the famous "spitting in our faces" quote. For all of the 6 inch scale collectors out there, I have nothing against you guys. As I have also stated in previous posts, I myself have a collection of 6 inch wrestling figures. BUT, I only use them as models to repaint my 3.75 figures. Over the years, I've spent a ton of money on them, only to keep them in a tub because they're not my desired scale. They look great, but I can't play with them. They're too big! When mattel took over the license for wwe, the 3.75 scale should have been an immediate release. Just look at mattel's figure history. dcu 6 inch-dc infinite heroes 3.75. Avatar 6 inch- avatar 3.75. You follow? Within the past year, there have been questions about wwe 3.75 figures. Mattel refuses to answer them. They always talk about the 6 inch guys. Yeah, I maybe just one guy on this forum talking about the 3.75 wwe figures. Maybe the other collectors have given up on mattel. Or, maybe they're afraid to talk about it because they'll get bashed by bullies who just want to cause trouble. And you sir, are trying to pick a fight. You're a bully! I'm not going down to your level.(It's very low) intellectually- disabled baby? Do you know how many mentally handicapped children/parents you have offended with that statement!? You could be in trouble for that!.. Loon? To be honest, We're all loons!! We're adults on a wrestling figure forum arguing over toys & scales! But hey, different scales or not, the point is, we love them and we'll buy them (even if they're almost $30.00 for a 2-pk)! Besides, one of the best legendary rock drummers of all time was Kieth Moon"the loon." So thanks for that! As far as screaming goes, Sometimes the squeaky wheel gets the grease. You admitted yourself in your first offensive post that you also loved the build n brawl figures. I want these figures for ALL OF US! You should be standing with me in this cause, but NO! You just want to stir up trouble! Trolling the forums? I've only posted about 16 posts within a year, All asking for the same thing. The way I see it the score is 16 to 5,564 my friend. How many of those posts are offending other collectors? Calling them names? Sir, just be thankful that YOU have your figures. Surprise me next time by being a more understanding person(if you can).. I'm one person for now, but if mattel makes these figures, the 3.75 scale collectors will come out and flock to the toy stores! I know it, Enrique knows it, and you're gonna love it too! Enclosing, thanks again for the idiot post, and keeping the forum going. If, and when mattel makes this scale, I'll be sure to thank you personally for your contribution to the cause. You know, the thing that really hurts the most about your post is that you seem like a real jerk on this forum, but I bet that if I met you on the street, You, and all of these other bashers are probably the coolest guys you'd ever meet in your life.....  Think about that! |

I would be "standing with you" if you weren't being such an idiot about it. You got chased off the forums about six months ago for posting lunatic ramblings, and I expect you'll disappear again soon. There are plenty of us who would like 3.75" figures, but you posting long, angry, insane diatribes from an asylum isn't helping that cause. You're just making the rest of us want Mattel to keep "spitting in your face." And hey, like you said in your rant a few months ago: THIS RIGHT HERE IS THE MOST STUPIDEST DUMBEST STATEMENT MATTEL WILL EVER MAKE. YOUR IN CHARGE OF FIGURE'S YET US SO STUPID A KID 3 YRS OLD HAS A BETTER BRAIN. IT TOOK LESS THE 5 SECONDS TO GET 4 PEOPLE TO SAY THEY HATE UR SCALE 6' AND THEY WANT THE 3.75 GO GET A REAL JOB SEEING WHAT PEOPLE WANT. IF U KNEW ANYTHING MAYBE UR STUFF WOULDN'T BE ROTTING ON THE SHELVES UR A JAKKS KNOCKOFF PJ LEWIS SHOULD BE FIRED WITH U AND ALL UR LITTLE FRIENDS THAT CANT MAKE GOOD FIGURES UR CORPORATE SCUM I WATCH 5 SECONDS OF HIS INTERVIEW AND SAID HE WAS CORP. WHY DON'T U GO WHERE THE MARKET IS 3.75 IS THE BEST SCALE FOR WRESTLERS IF U ACTUALLY MADE THEM THEY FIT IN UR HAND UNLIKE UR STUPID 2 BIG FIGURES THAT WHY U HAD TO MAKE THE FLEX BECAUSE PEOPLE CANT MOVE THEM WITH THERE HANDS. U HAVE TO HAVE LIKE 10 FINGERS TO MAKE THE ACTUALLY MOVE LIKE WRESTLERS. I'M A COLLECTOR I BUY ALL 3.75 SCALE FIGURES SINCE U WONT MAKE THEM BITE ME I WILL NEVER BUY UR SCUMMY PRODUCT U CANT USE THEM ! THEY ARE TO BIG AND SRY BUT THEY LOOK LIKE CRAP  !!!!!! FIRST U DITCHED THE INFINITE HEROES NOW THIS I GIVE UP ON U GUYS. AT LEAST JAKKS IS ACTUALLY THINKING ABOUT MAKING THIS SCALE THEY WILL GET ALL THE MONEY I WOULD HAVE SPENT ON UR PRODUCT.! AGAIN BITE ME. I CANT WAIT TILL U LOSE THIS LICENSE THEN AT LEAST WE HAVE A BETTER CHANCE TO GET THE FIGURES AT LEAST OTHER COMPANIES AREN'T SO CLOSED MINDED AND STUPID!!! JAKKS RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MATTEL DROOLS! It probably wasn't Mattel spitting in your face, just Mattel drool that got out of hand. |

Just to clarify, I was never chased off the forums. I actually wrote to mattel personally. Believe it or not, I personally did not write that post. I was angry, but I didn't write that post(I don't write that way) . However, I have to take responsibility for that. That person was angry at how mattel was treating me and felt they had to defend me and my cause. I'm grateful to that person for that, but I would've said it a little differently. It just goes to show you that things you say or do could come back to haunt you(I'm sure even you can understand that). From now on, I write my own posts, and I still stand behind that "spitting in our faces" quote. When one of the top three toy companies in the world can't honor your request, after investing hundreds of dollars into their products, I don't know what you would call it, but that's what I would call that. If that makes me a rambling loon, I guess I can live with that. I was given a positive sign that mattel will do them eventually. Maybe they read THAT particular post. It's just a matter of when and waiting. My biggest fear is that I won't be able to get a complete roster of the guys I really wanted(wrestlers retire, some get fired etc.) Enclosing, Thanks again for not an ignorant post this time, but making me see a mistake that I have made. I apologize....

This is my 3 3/4 figure collection. I wanted to show how dedicated to these figures, and this cause I am. Just about every series of 3 3/4 figures that ever came out, I have something from. Mattel wouldn't be wasting money on this scale if it was done with effort. I would buy at least, two of the same figure, and four of a REALLY good one(exmp. dolph ziggler, matt hardy elite). I also wanted to show my 6 inchers(they're not my desired scale, but they looked pretty cool). After spending all of that money, I won't do that again until I get the scale I want. 6 inchers, I find them hard to manuver compared to 3.75ers. Plus, I would like to combine all of these figures to interact with each other(cobra recruits cm punk, because they saw his cobra tattoo, triple h v.s he-man) The way I see it, making these figures will only help mattel, by bringing in a new collector fan base. Don't just say NO! Give it a chance. I think mattel will be VERY surprised of the outcome.            |

Impressive collection! Do you have any closer pictures of those MOC 3 3/4" wrestlers? (Not the Build n Brawls, the ones in the same picture as the GI JOE and Star Wars... Looks like they might be called Wrestling World?)

The name of these figures are called "Wrestling World." I picked these up at a dollar tree store. I went ballistic and bought the whole rack! Even though they have no bendable knee & elbow joints, the muscular detail on the arms and legs make up for that. I'm always looking for "new talent" in my wrestling figure organization, so these were a welcomed addition. They probably will never pass mid-card status, but they make great jobbers(some guys come pretty close.) They're also good for customizing.( I thought it would be cool to show you some of them, in addition to what you asked about.) photo 005- THUNDERBALL ,ATAX, & THE MALE AVERAGE photo 006- FRANK MORT, HAWG, & VENTURA(he may be champion someday) photo 007- DISILLUSION, GREG OLSON, & PRECIOUS PAULIE photo 008- These two are from a different collection called "Wrestling Federation Superstars",another dollar tree original. They weren't as good as the wrestling world guys, but those were released first. I wanted to show you them, in case you've never heard of them before...        |

Thanks for the info! I actually have one of those figures, the guy in the bottom picture with purple trunks and blue boots. It came in a lot and I had no idea what line it was from. These remind me of the random figure/ring sets I'd find as a kid. I would've had a great time creating characters and storylines for all these guys back then.
