Which Mattel WWE figure elite or basic that has been warming the pegs do you think deserves a spot in everybody's collection. For me, I had skipped for the better part of 8 months, give or take, on Elite 4's Finlay, the only one needed to complete that wave for me. When I got it, it was more of a reluctant "Well, I've got the rest of the wave...", but when I opened it, I was pleased that it was a well sculpted figure with great articulation and some good accessories. This same figure had been at my local target since January of this year, and so apparently others had skipped on it, too, which is a shame because I ended up enjoying it quite a bit. So anybody else have any stories like this?

Without a second of doubt Elite 9 MVP. Warms shelves along with Orton (Due to the 2x per case) in EVERY NJ store I make runs to. The BEST MVP figure released. If it weren't for his "future endeavor" I for sure see it as being as hard to come by as Ryder or Miz. Amazing figure and detail. Definitely worth the buy to me. Just picked it up today along with Kofi from the set.

^ yes elite 9 mvp is defiantly an under rated figure, i have seen 4 warming the pegs at my target, even though it was a first day buy for me people will sadly over look this figure i mean just the amount of detail in his tattoos and attire is outstanding.

A huge peg-warmer here in some Vegas Walmart's is the Elite 6 Shad. I think it's an excellent figure and the detail (albeit a bit plain considering Shad wasn't the flashiest looking guy on the roster) is fantastic. Highly underrated.

I'd say E8 Undertaker. He's got a great attire (I like the red winged demon designs the best!), an awesome coat, and a new much-improved headscan. I was kinda shocked to see that he's the main pegwarmer of that series. He's a living legend and yet, his figure isn't selling because he's not on TV? I guess Mattel's TV-time requirements are pretty accurate, after all!
Honorable mention goes to E9 MVP and B5 Mike Knox. It's sad to see such awesome figures be left behind simply due to being future endeavored!

Whatever store that has Legends 4 on the pegs always have at least 1 Mr Wonderful. And I have to say for me that figure it tied with EG Piper, L1 Hawk, L6 Kerry Von Erich as Mattel's best figure.

I'd have to say Elite 9 Luke Gallows. Why? Since his now "future endevoured" no-one seems to care about him as much. If this fig was brought out before his time was up, it would've been a hit.
Way better than MVP's......

The Undertaker in his debut attire (I think it's a entrance great)...I almost didn't sell it at first (which is rare for me). If Mattel would use a better skintone dye on the figures then alot of the figures would look so much better then they appear...(plus some of the hair sculpting could be improved)...

E9 MVP is an incredible figure. I bought it the first time I saw it for the Vince promo and in terms of detail and likeness, added with the tattoo detail, it's just a really great figure imo. I think it's only a peg warmer though because everything that doesn't come with a belt is a peg warmer at TRU from what I can tell. I have a ton of everyone in that set at my TRU except for Miz, who also hung around for about a month after the stand was put out. So I guess if you count MVP as a peg warmer he is definitely my pick.
Outside of that, I think the E3 Cody Rhodes figure is awesome, Ted is actually a good figure as well imo, but I still see those two around from time-to-time and I think Mattel did a really good representation of them from their Legacy run.

Yup, probably MVP. He's pretty detailed and the accessory was a nice touch.

2-Pack 9 Hart Dynasty. Tyson is alright, but DH is one of the best Mattel has done to date.

I think elite 9 MVP and elite 3 Cody Rhodes are excellent figures. Cody especially gets overlooked as it's pretty plain and was outdated by the time it came out, but it's perfect. Elite 3 Miz was also pretty overlooked because it was almost a year out of date when it was released, but it's an extremely detailed figure and will be a great addition to any "evolution of The Miz" collection anyone starts. I'm a huge fan of Legends 3 Bulldog, too, and I think Legends 5 Rick Martel is perhaps the best figure Mattel has done so far.

I would add Elite Regal. Mr. Wonderful is one of my favorite figures. I think he was down to about $6.00 on WWE Shop.

Elite 8 Regal is really warming Wal-Marts over here so I'd say that. But I think the most underrated Mattel figure is Elite 5 Chavo although he's not warming shelves (at least around me any where) I think that figure deserves more praise.
