I don't see the point in it. I wouldn't have any interest in the line if they started one. Basics and Elites are fine as is, just focus on those.

Not interested in this at all, would be a waste of time IMO. Just stick to working on the scale you already have.

If you were talking about an Unmatched Fury type of line, similar to the Punk and Orton statue, then I would say definitely yes, but as far as like a 4inch GI Joe/Star Wars type line then I would say it depends on what they look like? I would buy Punk and Ziggler for sure just to say I got one but I can't say I would start collecting that line the way I do the Basic and Elite lines.
I guess my concern would be that it's already hard enough to get the Basics and Elites I want with the distribution so adding another WWE product on the shelf to essentially compete with the already existing lines is something that I sort of worry about to be honest. I have Targets around me that are out of Basics and Elites but have tons of Rumblers and FF so nothing new over goes up, and I can't see the addition of another scale helping that cause. I'm definitely interested in seeing prototypes or whatever but the bulk of my dedication to Mattel and WWE will be with Basics and Elites because of how much I have already invested to this point.

I'm in favor of 3.75 scale figures. I'd love to see it happen and I'd probably buy every single one they would release.

No. No other scales period. With Basics, PPVs, Elites, 2packs, Legends, DMs my budget is stretched to the max. No other scaled figures please.

Focus your efforts on keepnig the main lines detailed. I don't need anything other than Basic & Elite.
I don't want to hear or read about "budget issues" as to why they feel the need to ruin the Elite line with rubber shirts...then going out and saying we want to develop a new line of figures.

Growing up... the best wrestling figures were GI joes (early 90s.) I'd like to see a scale similar to that size (3.45"). Jakks didn't do a good job with this because the figures were so flimsy. If Mattel did something similar to old school GI Joes with the articulation of Elites... that would be phenomenal.

I'd never touch a different scale.

DO IT, MATTEL. A 3.75" line would be fantastic. Even with the scale issues, the Build & Brawl line was the best thing Jakks ever did. I'm sure Mattel would outclass the quality of the Jakks figures, so I'd love it. If you can keep similar level of detail to the 7" scale figures, it would be fantastic. Focus your efforts on keepnig the main lines detailed. I don't need anything other than Basic & Elite. I don't want to hear or read about "budget issues" as to why they feel the need to ruin the Elite line with rubber shirts...then going out and saying we want to develop a new line of figures. You really don't understand how money works, do you? A separate line would have its own budget and would be bringing in its own revenue. It would have no impact on what Elite shirts are made from. Elite series budgets reflect past and projected Elite series revenue, not Flexforce revenue, not Basic revenue, not Rumblers revenue etc etc.

In reply to Enrique from Mattel, this new scale he's talking about which would be 3 and 3/4 inch figures...
Only if this new scale would deliver the same as the other basic and elite lines in every way, shape, and form...I'm talking detail, articulation, accessories, rings, playsets(non-flexforce or rumbler-ish!), depth of roster, including legends...basically mirror and maybe even take further what basic and elite lines are doing...I'd be all in, but only on that scale that we'd get with these smaller figures all that we'd get with the current basics and elites. Now I know that this new scale wouldn't replace the basics and elites, that's not where I'm getting at...but with me if they turned out like I've said, they would. I think they'd be cheaper, and I'd sure have more room for them all, just me personally speaking.
I'm sure there are differing opinions on this, but that's just mine.

No thanks. Under ordinary circumstances I would say it might be a cool idea, but with production costs so high that the retail prices have risen as high as they are AND we lost the stands, I want all the available money to be allocated to putting as much detail into the Basics and Elites.

No, No, NO!
It just means more money being spent on this new line that takes away funding for Basics, Elites, Legends, 2-Packs & Defining Moments, plus the Exclusives, it's just too much.
Personally, I would get rid of Flex Force & Rumblers lines too & pump the money in used on those lines into the 5 lines listed above.
Basic to me means 'Basic Articulation'.
So money saved off the 2 lines that, lets be honest, nobody really cares about, could be used for putting Detailed, Coloured Tattoos on Basics instead of plain Black.
If things are so costly especially in today's econemy, I would cut out the likes of Flex Force & Rumblers & put that money into going all out further on the other 5 lines than what they already are.
Like Bill said, materials cost, well, cut the crap lines & invest the money for better materials, paints & the odd new mould now & again.

I love 4" and 12" figures. I doubt it will be a 12" line because wrestling collectors already killed the great Maximum Aggression line. Could you believe just a few years ago Jakks was offering 12" DA figures for only $20?

I don't think they should. I'd rather have them put more money and effort into the basic and elites.
