On July 13th, The WWE Network will begin airing the Cruiserweight Classic, formerly known as the Global Cruiserweight Tournament, featuring 32 of the greatest cruiserweights from around the world. So far, the qualified entrants are:
- Rich Swann
- Johnny Gargano
- Tommaso Ciampa
- Zack Sabre Jr.
- Jack Gallagher
- Noam Dar
- Akira Tozawa
- Ho Ho Lun
- Lince Dorado
- Drew Gulak
- TJ Perkins
The first three names are supposedly under WWE contracts, but what if the other entrants had to sign contracts that included rights to merchandising including but not limited to action figures? A set of all 32 participants in the Cruiserweight Classic would be nice, but how could Mattel do it by the numbers? A 32 figure box set would be HUGE, but even if the figures are Basic style (like the box sets at Walmart, etc.) then if you're asking $10 a figure, you're talking over $300 for the set (Double that if they're Elite). But I also feel like people who make it farther should get Elite treatment and maybe the first half of the tournament or so does not. Maybe just the Final 7 get Elite treatment, the winner gets a Defining Moments figure (with trophy or whatever they're giving the winner) and then the other 24 can come in single releases or Battle Packs. Let's say two guys who don't make the Final 8 fought in the first round, boom, Battle Pack for them.
Do you think Mattel would do this? Would you buy it if they did? Please Mattel, don't make me create custom figures of most of (if not all of) these guys!!

Never.
A 32-person set? If they chose to do that, I'd rather them do the entire nWo roster.
I'd rather have people on the roster who haven't been made yet.

Well, I don't think they'd do a 32 figure box set- even if I'd buy it- which is why I was trying to figure out how to break it down into "normal" sets. Some of the participants in the CWC are current WWE superstars (Rich Swann, Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa for example) or will be one day, so I don't know why you'd be opposed to a figure of Zack Sabre Jr. or Jack Gallagher when the majority of the WWE roster members have been made or are coming out soon. No, really. Who on the main roster doesn't have a figure right now? Counting only wrestlers and not Lillian Garcia and Byron Saxton, the list is short and consists mostly of "The Club" (who are rather new to WWE still) and Braun Stroman. Dana Brooke got moved up so you could count her as well. Then there are more than a few NXT guys who need figures from tag teams to single stars, but, you know, just think of these guys as being like NXT guys. If you don't want Mattel to make a Zack Sabre Jr. figure though and you want current roster members then I'm not sure why you watch wrestling. |

When you're signature is full of Zack Sabre Jr. figures who will be laughing?  |

Probably wouldn't happen, but wouldn't mind seeing some of them in the line.

I can see Sabre, Gargano, and Ciampa getting made.
I want a Gulak though.
Also, 300 dollars for a pack would not sell AT ALL.

I wouldn't mind seeing a few of them being made. I don't think they'll sell very well IMO
