Kane and Undertaker.
- Kane's been represented amazingly, having figures of all his masked attires AND unmasked attires. All I need now is a corporate kane and that Hardcore Kane someday. (GF is getting it for my BDay I hope)
- Undertaker, not so much. The only retro attire in a main Mattel line I can think of is Elite 23. I'd like a debut attire with grey gloves and a ministry and/or 98 one.

Superstars:
Current: CM Punk
(Elite 16 and 20 were very well done. Currently own Elite 20.)
Attitude Era: Stone Cold Steve Austin
(The All-Star Austin is awesome, best Austin figure they have done. Only Austin figure I have ever bought. That good)
80's/Early 90's: Macho Man Randy Savage
(NWO Savage is the best Savage. I would say the defining moments or was in entrance one is pretty good two [the white and purple one])
Divas:
Current: AJ Lee
(Not bad, either too cartoony [the basics] or just not right [Elite 21]. I have Elite 21, best of the three. Hoe full the new Battle Pack one will be different...and up to date)
Past: Mickie James
(Mattel only made the one Basic so it works. Could be slightly better, but since it is the only one, that is the one I got)

Hogan, Savage, Flair, Jake, and Warrior. Mattel has knocked it out of the park with Savage and Warrior, and I'm sure they will with the others. I think Jake Roberts' head sculpt is off.

Favorite of all time is HBK. His Elite 19 figure is what got me back into collecting and his Wrestlemania XXX Elite is probably my all time favorite fig. Hope they eventually release a SummerSlam 95 Elite attire.

My Favourites will probably never have a Mattel release versions of them, people like; Owen Hart Raven LuFisto Necro Butcher Sting Jaki Numazawa Jun Kasai Dynamite Kid (He's probably the closest we're going to get in terms of a Mattel figure released and that's a slight stretch) Shiiiii. Me and you love some of the same wrestlers. Jaki Necro Lufisto Jun Good picks. |

Billy Gunn...need to see the figure in person but they look to have done a solid job, although the hair colour and style is off.
Rick Rude ....perfectly happy with the legends figure Mattel put out but i would have preferred mullet Rude.
Vader...loved it, pretty much perfect although the damn knee pads twist around his legs and are nearly impossible to put back in place.

For my favorites that have had Mattels made
1) John Cena-loved his early headscans, but not his current ones. Great job with his attire in Elites
2) Ultimate Warrior-All his figures are great, but I will pass on the one in the singlet as I never liked that attire
3) Shawn Michaels-Dont own a Mattel HBK, so I cant comment
4) Rob Van Dam-waiting to buy his E27 figure

Now that I'm older, and my generation of superstars are either dead or retiring, I can't really favor one. So I have plenty of favorites now since they all played their parts so well. As a kid though I had my favorites and one specifically would be Cactus Jack.
Mattel nailed the Cactus Jack exclusive, don't care that he has a rubber shirt. The figure itself is just 10/10. The scar, the face scan, the hair mold the detail on his attire. It's one of my favorite figures and that also includes Elite Mankind. Another amazing figure.
Other figures that fall into my favorites is Ultimate Warrior, Undertaker (to me all of them are amazing), Bret Hart, flashback Kane, the list goes on. I just love my whole collection, it's hard to favor but since Mick Foley was one of my childhood heroes, he'll always be #1. So MATTEL lets get on with that Brown Attire Mankind and possibly Dude Love!

I had a B1 and Extreme Rules PPV Cena that I regret selling because I couldve used those heads to swap with his E17 and KMart exclusive Raw Elite figures, but luckily B18 Cenas were still easy to find when those Elites were released, so I used that figure for headswaps. |

Andre's figure is just really good all around. DiBiase's (Sr.) too. No complaints, although I would have preferred the green and silver suit.
HBK has had some great figures, but they never really nailed the head yet.
The Von Erichs are some of the best Legends that were released, I just wish they would make David
Demolition is my favorite tag team ever. Their figures are spot on IMHO.
Most of my favorites of all time have yet to be represented in Mattel form, but its safe to say Hogan is on the way. Hogan being number one of course. I am looking forward to that one big time. I also have high hopes that Kurt Angle eventually joins the fray (not the band) and receives the Mattel treatment.
As far as current superstars go, I really have never been happy with the Cody Rhodes elites. The best was E13, and I liked the socks on E3, but overall I didn't like the head. I never really liked E20 either. As far as Basics go, my favorite is the blue one even though I hated the mustache. The head was good in spite of the mustache. I hope the next Elite has the hood up and Green Arrow style attire.
Daniel Bryan is a tricky one. I never liked E19, because I found it plain. The head was good, but outdated. My favorite Basic was actually the T Shirt series, best likeness, best outfit. The BOPPV Heyman one is ok, but I don't really love that attire either. I have high hopes for the next one. Hopefully the hair is long this time.
Barrett has been consistently inconsistent. I loved the first Elite, and I thought that the first head was way better than the second head. His Basics always seemed to have legs that were too close together. The E18 was good because of the coat, but I hated the attire and never liked that head (as I stated before). I would have preferred it to have the gray attire that one of the basics of that period had. The last Basic was actually better than the last Elite because it had the hand tape. That said, I still love the E24. The head is excellent. My only changes would be the hand tape, and blue trunks (since the red had been done)
Cesaro, I didn't like any of his figures besides the Elite. I didn't like the first head, nor did I care for most of the attires. The body also seemed waaaay too skinny. Unfortunately the same can be said about the Elite. I hope for a slightly wider body on the next one.
William Regal has an excellent Elite, and an OK Basic. I didn't care much for the Basic 4 head though. Luckily the Elite came with one of the best heads and that excellent robe.

Big Boss Man of course, and deadman/debut Undertaker were my favorites as a kid. As I grew a little, I enjoyed the nWo, and now I have a lot of affinity for Sting, Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan. I can see now why they were the most popular.
