I think mattel should give divas double hinged knees. I would accept it if they only put divas in elite series but put at least one diva in every series to keep it balanced. It's hard to use figures without double hinged knees because a lot of divas such as Charlotte and Nikki Bella need the double hinged knees for their signature maneuvers and I think more people would buy the divas if more detail was put into them such as this. Also it would help use them to their fullest extent and make using them more realistic. Another good reason to add this feature is because the #GiveDivasAChance is a big thing right now in the WWE and it would make it look like WWE is stepping up their game in all departments to make things right for their divas division. This is just my opinion and I know a lot of people agree because I've had multiple conversations with many different people and they all think that the divas figures need double hinged knees just like the superstars. It's a win - win situation because Mattel would make more money and more people would be happy and buy more. PLEASE LETS TRY AND MAKE THIS HAPPEN #GiveDivasAChance!

Not happening. Confirmed by Bill Miekina, head designer of Mattel.

That's why I made this thread so maybe with some help it will happen. Plus he said it wouldn't happen in the near future that doesn't mean it won't happen.

The Divas need to be redone from the ground up, IMO. An ab crunch is higher on the priority list for me than double jointed knees, but I'd rather have both features.
Although, at this point in the game, starting completely over would give me mismatched Mattels in my women's roster. I'm okay with Jakks Deluxe Impact figs mingling with them (which are superior IMO), but missing out on "elite" versions of divas not with the company (AJ Lee, Eve Torres, Melina, etc.) would bother me more than not having the features in the first place lol.
I think a fair compromise would be just including more Divas in the elite line on a regular basis. Better paint jobs and better accessories. We get flashbacks eating up half the line up, so increasing it by two just to include Divas would be ideal for me.

Doesn't bother me that much. I just wish the heads didn't feel so loose on some.

Don't press your luck, Bill was taking about losing POA as it is.

AJ doesn't deserve the toys she had but I understand where you're coming from. And "don't push your luck" guy whatever your name is, if more people get on board with this it will happen. This is where mattel gets their ideas, from the fans. We are the ones spending our money on their products and I know it's something that quite a bit of people want and they wanted to drop POA because it'd be cheaper but yet they'd lose money and if they spent a little more money they would make more money. So as I said so many times already, adding in the extra articulation would bring in more money and would make the customers happy and look forward for the next product to come out. It's no secret that people want them to step up their game and it's no secret that not even the little kids buy tumblers and flexforce so if they cut them they'd save money and be able to add the extra joint. I WIN YOU LOSE GET OVER IT!

I hate women's figures. They're so unproportionate and use the same 4 body types. I understand women have 10% less muscle mass, but other than Scott Steiner, the men are not that much bigger than the women. The divas need new, slightly bigger arms badly.

That's why I don't collect divas. Their figures suck. The only female figure in my collection is B51 Stephanie McMahon. |

I agree with addind double hinged knees: it' the biggest issue in Divas figures. I collect divas (I have most of them , Paige and Eva both x2 because I wanted to keep 1 loose and 1 in box) and despite of the sculpt/paint issue /lack of accessories , what is pissing me off is the fact I can't pose them in dynamic ways , can't even recreate any of the most epic moves .
One of the best Nattel gave us is Paige: IMHO she has the best torso articulation , no matter it could be improved but actually I find it decent. If Mattel could add double knees and wrist pivit ( posable hands give a lot of sense of movement...Marvel Legends docet) I think divas could easily top the female figures market .

The Jakks DA Diva body as the closest thing to a realistic body mass for the Divas, but even that was far from perfect. |

The Miss Elizabeth action figure has double hinged knees, so it's not like it's a whole new concept, even if it is for divas - it's been done before. They just need to adjust it and add it to more divas. Like you said, just adding it to Elite figures is fine, as long as more divas get Elite figs.

I think the figures are perfect as they are, just keep them coming, at least one per line. I really like how the basic releases are pretty epic in their articulation/design,
