I would find the people in charge of distribution throw all the elite Daniel Bryan's at their face and take all the hof 4's for myself and anyone that wants some.

A gooker can sells more than a mutant and a zombie... Ehhhh, a mutant Cena to a kid is still a Cena. A giant hector guerrero bird from 27 years ago, that's a tough sell to the gen. Pop.

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 Just to let you know that your post was marked as "liked". Now, in addition to what youo said I would also do this: Implement new neck mold a la Marvel Legends to allow a more free head swap. and while in this, implement a wrist joint to allow multiple hands (grappling, fists, choke hands, middle fingers, etc) Playsets. Nothing too complicated, and sets that interact with each others (a ring as a separate set, the commentator's area as another one, etc) Fix Seth Rollins mold to have accurate height. Where is my elite 1998 Undertaker?

I would buy myself nice things because that paycheck has to be bitchin.
Also maybe the reason we don't have some of these belts is that they just aren't allowed to make the design. As in maybe the designer has the rights to them?

If I've said it once... For something like Disney Infinity or Skylanders, instead of a WWE 2K style game, I'd rather see this style applied to WWE Immortals. Imagine the WWE Immortals figure line!! I like the Create-A-SuperStar figures. I would buy them, but I have other things I would rather buy instead, like Championship Title Belts and Disney Infinity figures. Now, if they replaced the Create-A-SuperStar line with the WWE Immortals line, I would definitely collect them all. I'm not going to complain about the Zombies, or the Mutants, or the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles dressed as WWE SuperStars. These are toys after all. Silly collectors, toys are for kids. I will say this. WWE and Mattel, make the WWE Immortals line!! ...I've said it a thousand times!!

Wow. He actually quoted himself 5 times in his own post...
WFigs, you never cease to amaze me.
I'm just glad I don't own Mattel and don't have to make choices for collector's. Some of the most self-entitled people in the world.

Id make a dm daniel bryan with the shirt frm e38 AND jumpsuit from e32. So create a huge shelf warmer? I'd start going after more new gen guys and a few 80s guys.

I'd probably just add to the overall figure.
- double jointed elbows. - hinged necks with a ball point for the neck. - ankle rockers. - ab crunches like DC Icons line.
Multiple hands: - middle finger hand for SCSA - closed fist for Big Show - chokeslam grip for Kane / Undertaker / Big Show - saluting hand for John Cena - pointing hand for Hulk Hogan / Macho Man - thumbs down hand for Batista - thumbs up for RVD
Multiple heads - Undertaker eyes rolled back - The Rock with the eyebrow - Sting / Warrior face paint rubbed off

I'd probably keep Basic, Elites, Battle Packs and Defining Moments series. I'd also make HIAC, MITB and EC for the ASR. I'd also try and put current stars first and make sure they come out not long after they debut. Give the women better figures aka Carmella

I'd limit the amount of the dm line. Make each figure limited, give stores the chance to preorder and make the line more sought after.
Make an in between basic and elite line. Either basics with accesories or elite figures with limited stuff.
Cut back of figures like nasty boys, ottman and others..unless they can be packaged in a set with figures that will sell great, or just stick them in every other case.
rerelease sought after figures from the past, but in limited quantities from limited outlets.
Make chase figures. Either alternate attire or a vac belt.
No more hbks from post 98. No more savages in tights. No more plastic coats.

You are maybe right about cena mutant. The problem is that mattel told us that the reason why the gooker will not be release is because it will cost too much to create bizarre parts for the fig, but now they are doing bizarre useless parts for mutant or zombie fig. Im sure than 50 % of the members who said that they will never buy the turkey, will buy it in a minute, if the figure is limited edition, exclusive and rare. 50 % didnt want larry zbysko fig, but now since the fig is rare , everybody try to put a hand on it. Thanks i already boughtt zbysko, because i was so happy about this release. Have fun with your mutans and zombies, me i am a proud owner of the living legend !

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. A small eatery? That's freakin funny.

If I was in charge, there would never be painted on skin again. It's my number one gear grinder when it comes to these figures. The skin colored paint NEVER matches the arms, and it just raises the probability of QC problems with it.

I would keep things ticking over and on the side I would design and put together all of the figures I wanted, ones that wont/cant get made, until I had the ultimate roster of figures for my own personal collection
Then I would quit and disappear into figure heaven

Put more focus into the HOF series Reboot the actual legends series for classic superstars from WWE(F) WCW WCW NWA WCCW WWWF AWA ETC who are not in the HOF Annoy Martha Hart until she lets me buy the right to do a Owen figure

No offense, but a lot of these ideas would kill the line at retail (even worse than current).
I think, however, a Gobbleygooker could get a release and not warm shelves but you'd have to make it an ultra CHASE figure (1 per 4 cases or something). But, then, collectors would whine about not finding one. Creating a false demand for a less popular figure is the only way for that to work. Same goes for the ladies. They just can't make too many of them as little boys who buy 65% of the WWE figures don't want a girl doll.
