No-one has mentioned Basic Series 3 Mickie James? The scan was awful and so was the hair piece, it was the attire that saved this figure.

First off let me say I think the Basic 4 Regal has a great head scan. As for figures I was disappointed in... 1. Legends 2 Superfly - Needed to be in tiger print trunks and barefoot
2. Legends 3 Mr Perfect - Needs to be thicker and shorter
3. Legends 2-Pack Piper - Needed the EG head and Funk torso
4. All KMart Legends HOF - Shouldn't have been straight rereleases, but rather different attires than their regular Legends figures.

Rude, Elite Goldust, Perfect to thin Mankind variant in brown really should of been in elite 17 Hardcore Title would of helped this one more. Lawler would of preferred from around debut in 93.
I dont think Liz is a bad figure, really should of included a accessory(s) even though I have no idea what they could of included. Just makes me realize that divas shouldnt be in the elite line.
Too many figures being made with RED ATTIRES. Honky really should be in light blue!

golddust and mr perfect were both too thin i felt like e12 kane could have been thicker as well , slaughter and road warriors outfits missed the mark for me . iron sheiks trunks were more like shorts , hacksaws scan and hair color could have been better, i agree about rick rude, but not about shango, i think shangos great and his scale works well. the rockers yellow tights were a big disapointment to me, they could have done so much better mattels done great so far, im just nitpicking

The only thing i have been disapointed in, are the rubber shirts that came with Orton, Rock, Miz, etc I dont mind the muscle shirt ones that came with Bourne and Rey.

The main thing I've been disappointed in is some of the Legends figures that have strange attire choices - rather than their "iconic" look... LOD, Slaughter, Jake, Rude, Snuka, Bulldog etc.
And personally, I think they really dropped the ball with the Defining Moments Triple H figure... the scan is off and the baggy cloth pants just look ridiculous - they should have made them molded to him (like the DM Austin).

What i hate from mattel? 1)the basic now are poor of details.... why the tattoos are only black in the basic figures? i hate this fact... 2)the t-shirt are no painted in the back.... i hate this! why mattel don't make the strap on the side of the t-shirt? 3)why the elite that have a t-shirt can't have a belt? the elite are very expensive.... only a t-shirt make non sense.... 4)i hate the fact that very few figures comes with a title belt! i have 120 figures and i have only 11 belts.... 1. They're basics, keyword being 'basics'. Colour tattoos cost more, which is why they're saved for Elite figures since they have a bigger budget. 2. Rubber shirt have painted backs. 3. Accessories will depend on what the budget for that series will allow. Come on, this is all common sense. 4. Then you're obviously getting figures without belts seeing as Mattel have made a lot of them. I've got a heap of them stored away too.

Elite 9 Orton, they gave him Drew McIntyre legs. He was way off scale.

I don't think Rick Rude should be a "disappointing figure"
He was a thin man so the girth was right. The attire was true to SS 88' minus the Warrior face on the back which in fairness, Mattel didn't secure the rights to. And his short hair was again accurate AND refreshing from the mullet he previous toys have had. I also liked the smoochey lips - it captures his character/gimmick exactly.
What is disappointing is that Mattel failed to capitalize on a guy like Rude who had many MANY different attires - some even more iconic. Surely we should have gotten at least another Rude before the line folded.
Likewise their failure to produce repaints of guys like Sarge, LOD, Snuka, Steamboat etc. - it's not like they don't have the molds gathering dust in some Chinese factory.
We should have had 2 more Steamboats - WM3 and Chi-Town Rumble '89 by now.

Agreed, but I wouldn't say that was a disappointment for me because I didn't have any expectations for yet another John Cena Basic. The new molds have refreshed him some, but the old mold was getting, well, old at that point in time and he was so far overproduced. Another John Cena was the last thing we needed then. They did a better job in 2012 of not having too many Cena figures. I was really looking forward to Elite 19 Brock, he looked awesome in damn near every photo of him. He looks spooky in person. The yellow eyebrows and facial expression seal it. When we saw him at RingsideFest and NYCC, the pics looked like he was gritting his teeth angrily. In person his "gritted teeth" look more like a pedo grin to me.
