I would like to see Mattel make a referee figure. Does anyone agree with me on this? Even Jakks made a couple of them.

definetely, its ridiculous how few referee figures get made. any ring setup is incomplete without a referee.
Mattel should include a referee with a playset/ring, or make a build-a-figure referee.
a Charles Robinson figure is pretty much the only thing I want Mattel to make from current WWE

I don't care if the referee figure would be a generic design, not based on a WWE employee. I wonder when Mattel will finally make a Vince McMahon figure or Jim Ross or Jerry the King Lawler. If Mattel's Predecessor Jakks made them, Mattel should make them too. |

If Mattel's Predecessor Jakks made them, Mattel should make them too. personally i wouldn't be interested in a generic referee, same as i have no interest in generic wrestler figures other companies release. the figure would have to depict a real WWE/WCW referee for me to buy it. charles robinson is my favorite referee in current WWE, but i'd love a nick patrick, mickey jay, randy anderson or mark curtis figure too. obviously those almost certainly won't happen tho. i understand that referee figures wouldnt sell as well as wrestlers, but they still need to be made, they're crucial to any setup, and as i said, releasing them with a playset or as a build a figure would be the best way. i think plenty of kids would buy a ring with referee set too. probably more so than a ring with wrestler repaints. speaking personally, when i was younger i'd always be much more interested in a playset with a new exclusive figure, than a playset with wrestler repaints. and i'm the same now. i think the ring/wrestler sets are more appealing to present-buying parents/relatives to be honest. any kid collector is almost certainly already gonna have the wrestler figures mattel has been including in playsets. |

Maybe they can do a ringside exclusive for a referee figure. Still a ring/referee combo is still a good idea. |

As silly as it sounds, I'd kinda like to see a FlexForce referee that slaps the mat when you pull back his arm.
An Elite-styled ref that comes with a RAW/SD! themed breakaway announce table would be cool too.
As far as which refs I'd like to see made, Mike Chioda or Charles Robinson would be my top picks. Too bad Hebner's in TNA...

I think Mattel should have put one or two referee's in the ring packages they made.

Yea I know they're with TNA but Id still want them made. The Hebners were the faces of some big time matches in WWF history. As was Joey Marella. |

Danny Davis would be cool, and Marella deserves it too.
I think it would be best oacked with a ring or ringside playset, probably a basic style figure, or even flex froce, whatever is cheapest to make.
Might also be cool to package the ref as a short-packed figure in the elite line and have him come with replacement ring aprons such as SmackDown, Saturday Night's Main Event or a PPV.

As was Joey Marella. Mattel can't make them due to the fact that they are signed to TNA. Correct me if I am wrong but if I'm not mistaken TNA employees are forbidden to work for WWE. It's prohibited in their contract. |

This is a much needed addition to the collection.
