If you could take over the WWE line of Mattel, what would you do? What lines would you eliminate? What lines would you put more focus into? And what rings/sets would you produce that haven't been seen before?

Probably nothing to be honest. The line is fine the way it is. Possibly work on a Jericho in this attire:

I would eliminate Basics. And that would be a stupid move, so it's probably a good thing I don't have any say in anything .

I'd eliminate tough talkers and the crap no one buys. Instead I would add more play sets. Like the backstage areas and stuff that is hard to find. Also a properly scaled set for ambulance matches.

As the Boss, for the Elite figure I would do the below
- Never make an Elite John Cena with out a shirt accessory - Never make a Macho Man with out a shirt accessory - Defining Moments line actually represents a defining moment for a superstar from a major show/event - Scale down the Samoans a bit - Produce some Ultimate Warriors in duster coats - Make exclusive Target, Walmart,... figs better wildly obtainable in Canada - Increase the RSC exclusive figures from 3 to 4 per year. one RSC exclusive figure per quarter - Revisit the female figure mold and start from scratch - Release RSC exclusive accessory packs for figs we already gotten, shirts, coats, hats, alternate heads - Only provide older figures in repaints rather than a straight rerelease
peace out

First, cost cutting.
Bye bye Tough Talkers and Create a Superstar nonsense. Personally I hate the Zombies and Mutants, but they can stay I suppose.
I'd revamp basics in general. Meaning I'd revamp their design. I'd basically have all of the figures be the same in design just like they do with the women right now. No more restricted articulation with the legs.
All rubber/plastic clothing is gone unless it makes legit sense.
Every Basic will come with 3 accessories. If it's a superstar that's new or just does have that many gimmicks and things they go with the standard title (if it applies), steel chair, table, piece of ringside barrier, cruiserweight deal that looks like guys are in mid air etc).
New product. TITLE PACKS.
Raw - Universal/U.S./Tag Titles (pair)/ Womens's Title
Smackdown - World/IC/Tag/Women's
NXT/CWC Pack - NXT Title/Tag Titles/Women's Title/Cruiserweight Title
WCW - World Title/WCW World Title/US/TV/Tag Team
Old School Sets
Tag team
- WWF (British Bulldog style silver plated) - WWF (typical like the ones out now) - WCW - AWA - ECW
World Champions
WWF 1984 Title (Hogan's First title) 1986 (DM Hogan) 1988 (Winged Eagle) 1998 (Attitude era) Undisputed Spinner
WCW Big Gold Belt WCW World Title (Vader's World title) AWA ECW
Best of the Americas
WWF IC WCW US WCW TV WCW Cruiserweight WWF Light Heavyweight WWF Hardcore
Defining Moments would simply be 4 per yearZ all from a different era. Instead of the elites having the diaramas, these would.
I'd also sell display stands for figures as well as small figure shelves.
I'd also come out with a line of backgrounds for figures. The arena backdrop, backstage, the parking lot, the gym, a small eatery, things like that. Maybe something where you can buy all these things separately and put together it creates this huge playset.
So there you go. It would be awesome, then it would suck. Because we'd go out of business in like a year.

If I'm in charge of a major toy line, at one of the biggest toy manufacturers, I wouldn't have any time to play with my wrestlin' guys.
I know someones probably going to come in here and go off about how none of this would work and that's not how a toy business operates, and I'm not going to pretend that I know anything about it. This is "fantasy island" stuff here.
I suppose like some others have said; eliminate the real gimmicky stuff like "Create-a-Superstar", If I was 7, I'd want a fully articulated Ultimate Warrior with a nice duster, over an awkward Warrior I can turn into a tiki god.
Put time into improving DM's, Elites, and Basics, affordable playset's, belts, belts for everyone, all the belts. If there is enough of a demand for a certain superstar or attire, try and get it made.

- No more rubber coats/shirts, cloth all the way. - More Female Superstars. - Authentic scale HIAC & Elimination Chamber. - Better entrance stages (Current HD, RAW 2000-2005, SmackDown fist) - VAC Championship packs (Classic, Attitude, Modern, ECW, WCW, NXT) - Ring skirt set of each WWE PPV, though considering the recent news about them not selling well, it probably wouldn't be profitable, though I would at least want a modern day Summer Slam and 2002-2005 RAW ring skirts.
Everything else seems to work fine as it is.

I'd see where to cut back on some of the budget and create a new department where a customer can go through a website and essentially create his/her own character to his/her own likeness. Just like the video game, you can now go online and create an elite or basic style figure with the torso of your choice, arms, legs, accessories, etc.
For example, I want to create a Stone Cold Steve Austin but I want him in black shorts, vest, a certain facial scan, variant bicep thickness, calves, whatever. Now, my figure is one click away. Scroll through the heads, torsos, arms, legs, attire. All of it. Select it. Save it. Send it. Boom! A figure to your exact liking.
Oh, and for the love of all that is Holy, I'd make Ken Shamrock.

One thing and one thing only:
- Make more Ultimate Warriors! We need a Summerslam 1989 Warrior, Royal Rumble 1990 Warrior, Survivor Series 1990 Warrior, Summerslam 1991 Warrior, a WrestleMania 12 Warrior, RAW return Warrior, In Your House Warrior, King of the Ring Warrior, and a WCW Warrior. I'd also re-release the Defining Moments WrestleMania 7 Warrior with accurate hair. I'd also re-release the most expensive Warrior figures, like the Hall of Fame Warrior and the 1989 Summerslam Warrior.
Also unless they're proven to actually make money, I'd cancel the Create a Superstar, Mutants, Zombies lines.

I'd ban employees to have an account on here to stop questions regarding budgets and distribution being directed to designers lol.
