I see why people want stands, but I don't need or want them. I'd rather that money go towards making the figures better, or cooler accessories.

I don't need the name tags but the stands were a nice bonus. I really think Mattel plays up the budget more than it really is just to cover their backs when things don't meet a certain standard. I definitely love what Mattel is doing and there is far more hits than misses. How about cutting the ridiculous oversized packaging on elites to cut the cost of package budget to start?

Ya I miss the stands and the special things they would throw in with earlier basics like those big belts and chairs. I think they should bring back those 1/1000 accessories.

Mattel needs to keep cutting costs to try to keep the retail prices at retail. Sooner or later the packaging will just be plain white with the wrestler's name.

What really pisses me off is that they don't always put the little stringy thing that holds the figure in the box!
UGH.
It makes me so mad that they cut corners and not make me have to take that extra step sometimes!
UGH.
Why don't they care about their fans?
UGH UGH UGH.

They've pretty much become the only game in town so why would they keep up the good work? When they started they were only giving you a stand and name plate because they had to compete with Jakks Tna, Jakks UFC, Playmates Lucha, and Jakks Real Steel. Now I dont think anyone other Mattel makes wrestling figs.

Mattel needs to keep cutting costs to try to keep the retail prices at retail. Sooner or later the packaging will just be plain white with the wrestler's name. I dont think they have to cut costs to keep a retail price. I think they cut costs just to boost up there profit margin. I mean just look at other Mattel Products. They make Barbies, a Barbie can cost any where from 5 dollars to 100 or more. The only difference, that I can tell, between a 5 dollar barbie and a 100 dollar barbie is the clothes/accessories and what ever License rights were used. Other than that it's the same basic doll. So if they can profit selling a 5 dollar barbie I would think they make decent profit off of a wrestling figure. Look at Hot wheels, they have the main line cars and then they have premium lines. Take the Mainline Enterprise for example. They made a mainline enterprise and sell it for 1 dollar and then they take the exact same casting and put it in a retro entertainment package and sell it for 6 dollars. It's the same exact casting only the Premium one comes with a nicer stand. They profit off of the 1 dollar casting but profit even more off the premium one. It all just comes down to the customer. As customers we've done nothing to force mattel to give us a better deal. If everyone on the forum boycotted wwe figs for just a week or month just as a way to ask mattel to give us stands and name plates again im sure they would. But no one will stop buying the product.
