A figure you would have purchased but one little thing held you back from it… what was it?
Basic 36 Cm Punk - Weird headscan would purchase otherwise
Basic 37 Randy Orton - Weird headscan as well
Basic 38 Sheamus - Would buy if attire had the clovers on it
Basic 33 Ziggler - His mouth just makes him look really weird.
Also, sometimes I won't by a figure if it has a weird smear of paint somewhere. Literally didn't buy a Daniel Bryan/Orton battle pack due to red smear on his leg.

Stomach hair. Such a lack of stomach hair.

Mostly paint apps on basics that are missing. (i.e. missing white stripes on Basic 18 CM Punk)

e26 Ultimate Warrior for me... Just can't bring myself to buy a Warrior in a singlet. Really well done figure, but with limited space, I'd want an Ultimate Warrior figure with a more iconic attire.

The new Basic Orton.(37?) The head looks a little large and odd without the molded beard painted. So I passed on it. I think that is the first Orton I passed on.

The ppv WM 29 Punk comes to my mind. To me, he looks nothing like the person it represents. Everything else down the neck is okay.

I feel like that Summerslam 1992 is a hugely iconic attire. At least to me growing up. That was such a huge show. |

Ringside exclusives punk and macho king- probably would of picked up if available in retail but couldn't pull trigger for the exclusive prices
Basic punk with the "Halloween" trunks......headscan kills it for me

I feel like that Summerslam 1992 is a hugely iconic attire. At least to me growing up. That was such a huge show. Oh, it definitely is... Loved that whole event and actually really like the singlet design itself. I meant something more iconic as a representation of Warrior's whole career and being that he rarely wore the singlet, I passed on that. I'd probably still pick it up if they made a Macho Man from the same event or I found Warrior for cheap as it is a really well done figure. I wish they're make an elite Ultimate Warrior with his white Survivor Series '90, Royal Rumble '91 USA, or green IYH Good Friends, Better Enemies attires. Always loved those three. |

I keep passing on Big E elites because all the black trims on the singlet go to hell below the waist. All the ones I've come across have that sloppy paint splatter. |

All little things that may not bother other people but were enough to make me pass on a figure:
I passed on a number of different Big Show figures because of that smiling face scan. I think I ended up buying an old basic with the angry head and swap it onto a happy scan elite.
I passed on the Christian flashback because it had the painted glasses and I wanted the translucent ones. Took a little longer but I did get the one I wanted.
I passed on the elite Y2J with the jacket because it was molded plastic and the arms couldn't bend while wearing the jacket.
I need to see the Rikishi figure in person, but so far my inclination is to pass on that because I don't like the head scan. I have a Jakks Rikishi that I think looks better and scales perfectly with Mattels.

Interesting topic
Legends Slaughter - the color scheme. Great figure, could have easily been painted differently and I would have bought it.
Elite 2 Batista - that terrible tiny head. Great figure otherwise. Of course, I relented and bought E6
Basic 4 Regal - the hair wasn't poofy enough and although it was a great likeness, I really didn't like the facial expression
Wrestlemania XXX Michaels - Awesome fig, but I have too many red attired figs, and already have more than one classic HBK.
E27 Kofi - awesome figure, but I don't like the color of attire
George Steele - the chest hair paintjob...shudder
One noteworthy earlier example:
It was a LOOOOONG time before I bought the Legends Piper/Orton 2 pack. The hockey puck teeth on that Piper head...ugh! I waited at least 2 years and paid like 12 during a sale. If I had waited longer I could have gotten it even cheaper. They are still available in my area.

Basically any short-haired CM Punk (besides E11) due to awful head scans.

Basically every Basic Punk because 95% of them have half assed attires.

Anytime I don't buy a figure I wanted is due to it being messed up with bad smudging with paint on the face and body.

Money is the problem that stops me from buying certain figures. Well, most figures.
