More over than the "he doesn't move enough" theories, the dude is NEVER on TV anymore. What reason would Mattel have to waste an elite spot on him?

He's the longest guy on the roster without an Elite. Most of us are Elite collector's and want an up to date Elite Roster. I would definitely buy Elite Khali.

I know mattel says he doesn't move that way but it's a toy which is one of the great parts to having figures to make things that couldn't happen , actually happen like u could make Zack Ryder the wwe champion so if we would buy it why not make it? When did Mattel say that about Khali? I think we're the ones who created that idea and now you're putting words in Bill's mouth. Haha

The Argument that they wont make him in elite "because he doesnt move that way" is the dumbest thing I've heard. Think about it. If I take a Cena figure and run over it with my truck, does that mean Mattel shouldnt have made the figure? I mean Cena doesnt move that way, so why make a figure? Or if you take a figure and pretend it can fly..... does that mean the figure shouldnt have been made? No Human can fly on there own, so per mattel logic the figure shouldnt exist. Really what it comes down to is cost. Mattel doesnt want to spend the money it would cost to create articulated castings to be able to make a Khali figure. Especially since they wouldnt be able to reuse the parts much.

No thanks. Nothing against him, I have his basic and it is just fine for my collection. Too many better uses for all that tooling budget. An easy pass if it was made, and that thing would seriously warm some shelves.

Khali would need a GIGANTIC re-tooling for it to work, thus KILLING the budget and another figure less NEEDED accessories

Haha I'm pretty sure it was an off handed joke he made at the end of the real reason. The reason was it would have to be all new unique parts they would need to tool. (torso, waist,lower body) which would cost too much for a figure that would only get a limited release. It's not like they could use them on anyone else. So he said they would rather spend the cost on other things. And then I think he quoted the joke that members had been saying "beside he doesn't even move that way" or something along those lines.

I'd like to have one honestly. Just because I REALLY don't want the basic... I only collect elites, and the only basics I care about would be divas and suits/managers/assistants and even then I'd prefer elites

I think it's crazy how long he has been with the company and doesn't have one. I understand their reasoning but it needs to happen.

Why r people keep saying its a waste of elite spot there only going to replace him with a cena or Rey or sin cara or henry or someone Well, I never really wanted a mass released Rey other than the ECW & WCW from the TRU boxed set until this e32 figure.(which with Cody are the only two I want) Cena is another I pass on unless he's part of a BAF line. And as far as Elite Sin Cara and Henry go I only have one each of and won't buy another unless they come with a BAF part I need of someone I do want. That said I would rather all of those released instead of Khali, because with the exception of Henry at least they all move eventually even without me buying them. There's always a child who wants a Rey, Cena, Cara. And even Henry will move from the pegs faster than a Khali. PJ...what Elite Divas are you talking about? The Kelly Kelly Elite had cloth, and a shiney Divas title. There was no way we were getting that stuff in a basic figure. The other ones I can think of are Trish & AJ. I can't for the life of me see how someone could complain about Trish getting an Elite Flashback. AJ...yeah, ok...but that's the only one. Although she was much better than any of the dull Orton Elite figures we've gotten.

Would everyone look at key phrases like "most collectors on here" and "I don't like basics" and realize that most collectors on here and people who don't buy basics and realize that neither are the majority. The basic line outsells the Elite line and gives seed money for Mattel to tool new figures. The 40 something people who voted yes in this poll and the few hundred who didn't but also want one don't constitute the whole market.
People on here seem to think of the Elites as more of a adult collectible item; while there is probably a larger number of adult collectors purchasing them and they may be most popular among that demographic, that number is not the highest number of purchases, it's still kids. They may not get as many, but kids' birthdays and good report cards and 'just because' outnumber us still.
