Does anyone know if Mattel plan on releasing a WWE referee figure at all in the near future?
Apart from the Batista elite that comes with a ref shirt.
Cheers

Mattel thinks announcers and referees won't sell.....yet they continue to pump out Cody Rhodes figures!
Mattel also thinks Divas don't sell despite them being some of the most sought after figures.
I'm really convinced that they have no idea what characters/accessories the fans really want.
They blame the fact that Divas get short packed and are not in very many series' based on the fact that they produced a lot of Mickie James figures which came out as she was being released from the company....that's why why they warmed shelves bc she was gone from the company!
If they produced an equal amount of Eve's, Kelly Kelly's, or any other EMPLOYED DIVA, they would sell awesome.
We want a referee but Mattel has said they won't make one.

Cheers.
Looks like Jakks Earl Hebner it is then.
I reckon a referee figure would sell at least as well as some figures such as Luke Gallows.

They'd only make one to include in a set like a ring or arena playset.

I'm not sure why people can't get this through their head. Collectors are a VERY SMALL fraction of Mattel's consumers. A referee probably won't sell very well with kids, therefore, won't sell well because their target audience is kids.

It's not like it's a rarely used character? There is a referee in EVERY MATCH! Does anybody remember this figure? This was one of THE HARDEST TO FIND FIGURES EVER! This came out when I was like 10, I was a kid....I wanted it SO BAD because it was the ONLY way to make every match realistic. The referee and the announcers are an important part of the show! Especially with the way WWE books with the refs getting knocked out and making bad calls as part of the story, and with the announcers like Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler getting involved in so many matches over the last year! Keep making Cody Rhodes though, my Target needs something to collect dust on the shelves!
