If we can get the whole Nexus and fricking Hornswoggle I really don't see why Trent can't have a figure.

Superstars doesn't/didn't count. He has been on Smackdown maybe two or three times over the last month, so you can expect your Barreta figure in 9-11 months.
I think he deserves a figure solely based on the 6 man tag match from the June 30th episode of Superstars. The suplex spot at the end was awesome.

I'm waiting for one. I get that he will only get basic, but that would be just fine.

I hope we get one. I would def buy it and I'm sure he would sell pretty damn good on here. Now retail would be a different story but you never know.

Chris Masters and JTG disagree. They may be on Superstars now, but they were on Raw when Mattel decided to make a figure of them. |

If we can get the whole Nexus and fricking Hornswoggle I really don't see why Trent can't have a figure. Exactly. Same goes for Hawkins. He was a former Tag Team Champion, yet they don't plan on making him, but they can make Mike Knox? Or the Hurricane? Hawkins has had at least the same, if not more TV time over the past year or so than Hurricane did during his last run in ECW. |

He is my most wanted current roster guy. I'm a big fan and I'm still disappointed we didn't get a Dude Busters set. I mean remember when he was on Smackdown and actually beat Drew McIntyre and got all that pop that WWE never did anything with? Yeah, I remember that too...
It's an outside shot, but I'm keeping hope alive.

I'm pissed we never got the Dudebusters, because they were a very talented team, and they were actually on Smackdown more often than not. Hopefully we can get Barreta AND Hawkins, soon. Barreta deserves a figure, and Hawkins would just make for an excellent figure. Also, weren't they supposed to make the whole roster? Thos guys are still on it, so why aren't they being made? Also, I suspect a McGuillicutty at SDCC. Most likely in a two-pack with another Otunga, or possibly as a 1 per case figure. He wouldn't sell well enough to be packed alone and have 2 or 3 figures in a case. Heck, I wouldn't be shocked if he was packed with Kofi Kingston from their nXt days  |

Heck, I wouldn't be shocked if he was packed with Kofi Kingston from their nXt days They originally said they were going to make the whole roster, but now they have changed their to tune to, "guys who are on tv." Essentially, I take it that they wanted to give everyone on the roster a figure but couldn't justify it with sales. Although, if you pack a guy 1 per case and he is a face like Trent Barreta I don't really see it being that hard to sell it. I don't know how much Superstars plays into "tv time" but Barreta has been on and off Smackdown and has consistently been on Superstars for a long while now so who knows. |

i dont really know why Mattel is singling out those 2 guys, when they've made almost everyone else.
especially since they shortpack figures anyway. So it's really that tough to make a figure of Trent and pack him 1 per case? It would sell just fine. People like me who want to have a figure of everyone on the roster would snatch it in a heartbeat. They don't need to make him 3 per case.
Put Baretta as a basic in Series 14, Hawkins in Series 15.
Even if it's one and done. So what? At least they get a fair representation. Hawkins has had a longer WWE career than Mike Knox....and Knox got a figure within the first 5 Mattel series.

If its hard for them to get Basic's then Elites seem impossible  And thats where my hobbie really is. I really dont enjoy Basics that much and would love Trent, Hawkins...everyone made in Elite I was hoping Mattel was going to try to make the whole roster Elite at some point but that dream seems to have vanished. Now we will be lucky to get them all in basics.... |

I think Mike Knox might be part of the problem though, maybe he sold like crap and Mattel said, "we probably should be careful about doing that." Not sure how Yoshi's Basic 7 figure did but I think Trent would sell similar to Yoshi, so maybe Mattel could look at that and make the decision. I'm with you though, between the people who are fans of the guy and then the collectors who buy one of everyone you would think they could move him with relative ease 1 per case. |
