It is too bad we did not get Elite versions of wrestlers no longer the with company, especially Shelton Benjamin! There are others that will probably never get Elite figures like Zack Ryder, Yoshi Tatsu, Wade Barrett, Heath Slater, Michael Tarver, Justin Gabriel, Daniel Bryan, Skip Sheffield, Darren Young, David Otunga, Michael Migilicutty, Husky Harris, Mason Ryan, Ezekial Jackson, Tyler Reks, Primo, Curt Hawkins, and Alberto Del Rio.

I'm pretty sure Daniel Bryan and Alberto Del Rio will have Elite figures. Why wouldn't they?

I do agree with you, it is sad about those figures that won't get Elites. Del Rio might get one, especially since he won the Rumble, makes me feel like he'll be around for awhile. Barrett may get one too. I would've loved to see Elites of people like Benjamin and Carlito. Guess we can't do anything though =/ Mattel probably took into account the fact of whether people will sell and what accessories they come with. People like Carlito never had memorable accessories except his Carribean shirt and an apple, but that gimmick was gone awhile ago.

I'm honestly not that upset about not getting a Shelton Elite...what could he have come with? I think alot of those guys you mentioned will end up getting Elites anyway.
Barrett definitley Del Rio definitley Zeke definitley
The other guys will be around long enough to get one too. I'd like to hope the roster stays the way it is now so that everyone will be made in Elite & Basic form.

if they made the hart dynasty, chavo and a lot of other mid card talent, I am sure they will make at least half of the list you've provided.

Some of those will definitely get them, but I really hope Ryder gets a one-legged Elite!

All the guys you mentioned that are still with the company will most likely get an Elite figure. To fill the basic lines with fresh faces Mattel is going to put out as much of the roster as they can. That means there will be a headscan for them and its not like each wrestler in this line has a unique mold so the bodies exist for them. As far as accessories go all you need is a t-shirt or two weapons.

Zack Ryder is rumoured for Elite Series 9. I'm hoping he is released as an Elite as I don't collect Basics and want him... !

Wade Barrett, Heath Slater, Justin Gabriel, Daniel Bryan, David Otunga, Ezekial Jackson, Alberto Del Rio. I can see those getting an Elite at some point. ---------- An Elite Hurricane would have been great

I'll get every figure they make of him. He's the only guy I'm willing to get multiples of, but, luckily for my wallet, they won't make many Ryder's

I really wish we had gotten a Shelton too, although I would have preferred a non blond version.
Barret, Bryan, Del Rio and probably the majority of Nexus/Corre will almost definitely have figures.
7000th post! What comes after WF Legend? "Needs to get out more"?

I know he's been gone for awhile now but an Elite Brian Kendrick would have been awesome.

I can see Daniel Bryan getting one. I think charlie haas and shelton should have gotten elites. As for Del Rio and Barrett I can see them easly getting figures.

As mentioned above, Zack Ryder is rumoured to be in the Series 9 lineup.
And I'm sure Wade Barrett, Daniel Bryan, Ezekial Jackson, and Alberto Del Rio will get Elite figures eventually.
I'm hoping for an Elite Great Khali and Chris Masters too...

i'm sure Bryan, Del Rio, Barrett, and many of the others mentioned will get elites, I could see Primo, Hawkins, Reks, Young, Tarver and Tatsu not getting them but I think if the others stick around long enough they will all eventually get elites.
I think the 1 i want most in elite form (besides Bryan, Del Rio & Barrett) is Big Zeke cause I hate his basic figure and how close the legs are to each other and how relatively small he looks in comparison to what he really is in real life.

For Ryan just remove the tats from an elite Batista and paint the trunks.

Actually I would put money on Zack Ryder getting an Elite. Why you ask? Besides being rumored for Series 9, his basic 10 proto had a head with a purple headband on it and the final figure does not. Also, Bill from Mattel dropped a hint... Headband will be black on Zach's basic figure. But where did that purple headband come from anyway? Hmm...

I know he's been gone for awhile now but an Elite Brian Kendrick would have been awesome. yeah I know....he was scheduled for Elite 4, but obviously got canned because of his release....I wouldn't lose hope if i were you...JTG & Shad got Elite figures & both of those guys were sparingly used at the time their figures got made

I could have sworn a few of those are slated for Elites. That being said the only one I'd maybe buy would be Barrett.
