ppl act like Mattels only put out 30 figures this year....and that more than half of them are bad.
when in actuality they've released over 130 figures.....and maybe 7 or 8 were problematic

They're not perfect but Mattel is making the most amazing line of wrestling dolls ever and we can only hope this line continues for the next 50 years.

2004-2009: "SCREW YOU JAKKS!" "SCREW YOU JEREMY WAAAAAAHHHH!" (I know this board and Jakks contract were around LONG before 2004, but that's when I started lurking so...) 2010- the end of Mattel's run: "SCREW YOU MATTEL!" "SCREW YOU BILL WAAAAHHHH!" Next company with the license: "SCREW YOU COMPANY!" "SCREW YOU PERSON FROM SAID COMPANY THAT COMMUNICATES/TRIES TO COMMUNICATE WITH US WAAAAAAAHHHH!" Wash, rinse, repeat.

Seriously, what has happened to this board lately? I've been frustrated with some Mattel things like anyone else, but my god, the past month has been unbearable around here. Can we stop the complaining for just a little while? Especially with SDCC later THIS WEEK!

Mattel's run could end shoddily. But that wouldn't change my belief that they have unequivocally given us the best collection of WWE figures ever. I've had significantly more good times than bad with their tenure.
Either way, I think these threads need to be on hold until we see what's at SDCC. It's only 4 days away lol.

I collect figures from Mattel and Hasbro "Marvel Legends" trust me when I tell you that both have a lot quality control issues and re using parts too often. However Mattel has way less issues compared to Hasbro, way less.

It won't be WCW 2000 until I get my Elite Kwee Wee figure with interchangeable pants.

Some r good , some r bad , at the end of the day they r kids toys.- My new exc Jericho probably has the worst head scan of all my figs! -Imo . Which is a shame cause the rest of him is awesome. The new legends Jericho looks bad to compared to e20, at least people can take the jacket off and you got that new elite zac Ryder 😆 Then on the other hand the I think the new cena dm figure looks amazing ( just the fig , throw away the dm gimmick) it should be a flash back but the product inside that box looks solid

I will agree that it looks like Toy Biz WCW around 2000 in this respect - they've started to do gimmick figures like CAW, Zombies, and apparently Mutants are next. Hopefully Cyborgs, Monsters, and ones with pop out eyes and tongues aren't next.

On the whole, I think Mattel has done an amazing job... seriously, these are the best wrestling figures EVER. I guess I must have been very lucky, as I've never really had any quality-control issues either.
My only issue is with the price we/UK have to pay for Elites ($24) and Defining Moments ($32) compared to the US - but then they seem to be more expensive anywhere outside the US. And on the plus side, we do have stores like Smyths which are always really well stocked/full of WWE figures...

I just hope they don't do a 3.75 inch line like Bill said they were thinking about a few years ago.

SHOCKMASTER. Lock the thread, I just ended all negative opinions with 1 damn word. Mattel rules for making this and doing so in a glorious package!

What is happening to Mattel?From what I can see... - We are getting re-releases which means they are not doing any new scans, and even then the re-releases are not being corrected (eg. chest hair on Legends HBK, yellow IC strap for Legends Warrior). INSTEAD of re-releasing past exclusives or super rare figs (like Vince, Diesel, Cactus Jack etc).
- Some figures are tending to be of lesser quality, lots of smudges on bodies and skin being painted on instead of being used as a base colour. Not to mention those female head scans....
- Scale is starting to show mistakes (eg. IRS height, KO and Anvil's orangutan arms).
- Exclusives are almost always Cenas, Triple H's, HBK's (or crapty re-relases like the Game Stop Lesnar with a very bad head scan) I feel like they just don't care except for the golden boys mentioned above.. (like Hogan and co were looked after excessively) It reminds me of WCW.... when it started sinking... people in staff just don't care... you telling me that these professionals cannot see these details? or that they are not listening to their customer feedback? or even assessing their products? WHAT IS HAPPENING MATTEL?Maybe it's something to do with the new JAKKS deal??? maybe Elites and Basics are on their way out and we will get re-releases until 2019!!! I'm not angry just aware! Does anybody else think that they are becoming slack? #YourThoughts must be bored huh?
