Agreed about how well they have done in so short a time. We are missing a total of 18 male wrestlers from the entire WWE roster (missing as in not announced or produced yet). We are missing: Hass Hawkins McIntyre Wang Yang Fu Naki Gallows Knox Slam Master J Croft Jackson Hurricane Barreta Reks Archer Tatsu Ryder Masters Sheamus Bear in mind that in that list of wrestlers above, only *THREE* could have been feasibly produced by Mattel already: Haas, Funaki, and Jimmy Wang Yang. The rest of those people on that list have been on the roster less than 10 months or have DRASTICALLY changed their persona within the last 10 months in the case of Ryder, Hurricane, Slam Master J and Gallows. It takes 10-12 months to take a new figure from concept to sculpt to on-shelf. Once the head-sculpt exists you can update the attire quickly--as we're seeing with Survivor Series Miz--but there's no way to rush a new superstar to market. |

What the hell do people want? Mattel is already 85% down with the whole Raw roster and 50% done with the whole Smackdown roster. IN A MONTH!!Even ECW is being very fairly represented when you consider that it takes 12 months to take a figure from concept art to store shelves. 12 months ago, the big guys in ECW were Swagger, Hardy, Finlay, Hornswoggle, Mark Henry, and Christian. We currently have ALL of those as figures with Christian arriving shortly. Who cares if there are a couple different attires to pick from for main-event guys, when we are quickly and efficiently getting THE WHOLE ROSTER? I really do NOT understand what people have to complain about. i'm not bitching over the rereleases but those numbers are off they have 17 of the 35 Raw Roster done and 13 of the 33 Smackdown done or set to release so they got about 50% of Raw done and 30% of Smackdown, still not that shabby for a months work. |

I really like Taker but he is getting quite a few figs. Around here, his heritage figure is in abundance, more than anyone others which is a bit surprising.

Those numbers are correct for active male superstars as I said in my post on page one. I don't see a real reason to complain at all. Out of the 20 active male Superstars on the RAW brand we already have 17 or 85% of them. On the Smackdown side we have 12 of 25(48%) going up to BS3. If you include 2pk 3 and BS4, that number goes up to 15 of 25 or 60%. That includes guys like Haas, Fu Naki and the MIA Curt Hawkins. ECW has the lowest percentage but that makes sense given the low ratings the show does and having a roster full of guys like Tyler Reks, Croft and Barreta. If you believe the line ups for 2pk 4 you can add Chavo, Tyson Kid, DH Smith and Tommy Dreamer(?) to the list. How long did it take the almighty Jakks to hit those kind of numbers? |

But they ain't releasing the same guys in the main line -Basic & Elite- The repaints have came via signature series/PPV sets & other special sets.
If you look at the main line they haven't re-released anyone yet. each 3 sets [so far] have had different people in them, now some of you might say that HHH/Rey/Batista have been in both lines but thats how its meant to be. As single lines every set has been new faces.
