To me, Mattel is hitting it out of the park. Being a major company they have some limitations (distribution is shaky and they take less "risks" as far as what they create), but I think the figures they produce largely are the best and most detailed wrestling figures created so far.
I love the size, apps, scans, molds .... everything on their figures. Of course, there are plenty of lackluster figures produced. Alot of repaints and way too many of certain guys (Orton, Rey, etc.), but WWE is a major company marketed for a younger age range so these kind of business practices will likely remain, regardless of whatever company is actually producing WWE's figure lines.
To me, JAKKS really innovated since the RA and Deluxe era and I believe Mattel for the most part has just improved on JAKKS formulas. ON a whole a Mattel's figures usually feature more accurate and detailed decos than JAKKS did and the scale is much better and the part choices are usually pretty good (except for putting giant knee pads on guys who wear small kneepads .... annoying). I only cherry pick and buy my favorites versions of my favorite wrestlers so I'd rather pay a lil more, but only buy the best figures produced.

For the most part, Mattel has done good work for WWE. There's several things I would improve, but I would rather have Mattel than Jakks.

C'mon now...anyone who says no is wrong. Mattel is doing an amazing job that no other company could even come close to. Plus, this is the Mattel board...
