No way McFarlane takes over the full WWE license. WWE figures are aimed towards kids for the most part, when McFarlane is aimed at collector's. McFarlane specializes in minimal to non articulation statue-esque figures, which would not be ideal for playing. You're talking about the same company that made the first Shrek movie figures, Hanna Barbera (Tom and Jerry, Flintstones, Yogi Bear, etc.), the long lasting Halo series, LOST, the current well articulated Assassin's Creed and Walking Dead lines, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Wallace and Gromit, Tim Burton's The Corpse Bride, the super articulated NFL and MLB Playmakers line (meant for kids), Disney's Prince of Persia, The Simpsons....... Not to mention that they were originally offered the Lord of the Rings license before it going over to Toy Biz because THEY turned it down. AND all the other huge licenses they've held. Hell, they currently have THE RABBIDS license based on the Nickelodeon cartoon. Yeah. It's NOT out of the realm of reality and possibility. Didn't know about that. You learn something new everyday. I do hope Mattel extends the license though.

If Mattel hasn't extended their agreement already... They will shoot to amaze this coming year so that they do get the extension. If Mattel loses it or stops making Elites, I'll be selling my entire collection, there's no point for me to continue when I'm exclusively an Elite collector

It's not out of the realm of possibility. but the big difference comes down to this:
Mattel is a multi-billion dollar company. McFarlane is not. in any bidding war for the contract, Mattel will beat out McFarlane simply cause they can pay WWE more. same reason Jakks lost it - Mattel has more money,and had an interest in acquiring it. only way Todd can get it is if Mattel doesn't want it anymore.

McFarlane would be cool if they look like Sports Picks.
Mattel better resigns or I'm done with anymore changes.
