I would produce more RSC exclusives and Matty collector exclusives so that the lesser known flashbacks could be produced without the fear of shelf warming.

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. 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 ! Comparing Larry Zbysko to a giant turkey costume is an insult to Zbysko. And I am 100% in the 50% that would still pass on the Gobbly Gooker. I felt insulted back in '88 when that was the big payoff at the end of the countdown. As a matter of fact the '88 Survivor Series was when I switch to NWA/WCW for my weekly wrestling. I did still watch the Big Four PPV's (Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, SummerSlam and the Survivors Series) until my father passed in March of '90. And once that happened other than the annual WrestleMania PPV I didn't watch any other WWE PPV's until the WWE '00 Royal Rumble. Any other WWE I watched prior to WCW closing was basically commercial breaks or if I saw Bret or Triple H on when I flipped the channels.

Hector guerrero deserves a figure, even if its in a turkey costume, good way for him to get a little bit of money after all that mess

I'd spend a lot of time on these forums listening to the concerns and wishes of my customers and then I'd make sure everyone got what they wanted and was happy and loved me.

Really in 1990? I am almost positive my father was alive for that crap an he passed in March of '90. But then that was a very crappy year for my family so who knows I guess I am remembering it wrong.

Probably only really do some limited releases and things like that. Maybe one or two limited editions to 100,500, or 1,000. Try and make figures collectible and keep and hold some value to challenge collectors if they want stuff and miss out.

I would bring back fun color variants. If someone only gets one Elite release a year, it'd be so awesome to get a choice in attires. Nothing dramatic like the time they did Nash/Diesel as splits for some reason, as if there wasn't a huge demand for both characters. But more along the lines of Ted DiBiase Jr in Elite 10 or whatever it was.
To give a modern example, with Jericho's next Elite, I'd have one with his dark blue attire and one with his gray attire. The scarves would also have a color change. I am admittedly a HUGE mark for WCW's Smash n Slam set, and that had the absolute best variants imaginable (aside from that awful Lex Luger with a painted on shirt....).
I would also secretly make Owen Hart figures for my personal collection and FIRE anyone who told on me.

If I'm the boss the first thing I do is set up a system so that I can track what is selling and what isnt. If that's too complicated I hire a crew of guys to shop around in their local markets so they can report to me what is and isnt selling.
The next thing I would do is check my inventory. I would NEVER allow Black Friday or Christmas to come and go with no figures on the shelves at major retailers, as was the case this past Christmas at Targets. I'd send out shippers to major retailers specifically for the Christmas shopping season. Same applies for Easter.
I fire anyone that suggests "cost cutting" measures like replacing good parts with lousy ones, like the new elbows. Maintaining the quality of the product is more important than "cutting costs". If customers feel an increase in prices on the elites is "too much", there is a basic line that is priced for them.
I'd eliminate the inferior cup and ball hip joints and have only the good joints.
I'd bring back the Matty collector figures.
And I'd ask the design team for prototypes of every wrestler I know of or can look up online and I'd keep those protos for myself.

Easy
Cancel Zombie/Mutant line Cancel tough talkers
Produce a full scale Raw and Smackdown ring, with announce desk and stage
Increase distribution of exclusives worldwide Increase the amount of RSC exclusives
Stop adding bonus items like silly belts (that aren't accurate) dioramas/ slammys etc to save on costs
At this stage, id cancel the DM line And include the figures within the elite line (Make sets of 5 figures instead of 6 every few series to save on cost to facilitate this)
Stop rereleasing the same figures in basic and battlepacks (Undertaker, Braun, Brock etc)
...And ofcourse give everyone on this forum a free figure of their choice
Now ALL my ideas rule right? Lmao

Well seeing Jakks used to go out and sign talent to figure contracts themselves...All I would do is authorized Bill to be able to go out and sign more Legends to figure contracts. And hopefully hen we would have the Steiners and British Bulldogs.

Realistically, the only change I'd like to see is Mattel signing legends to contracts rather than only using Wwe contracted wrestlers. I'd imagine getting the likeness rights to many of the guys wouldnt cost too much and could still fit within the budget of the line.

How about one simple thing:
Figure out how to better distribute the product so people can actually buy it.
I know its such a crazy idea, nevermind.

. 2.Release finally the gobbledy cooker . No on every level. The cooker would bomb at retail. How about a Mean Gene and Gobbledy Gooker 2-pack? They could do-si-do with each other.

redo the Legends line, and go balls out on it. same original legends packaging back. all flashbacks rereleased on legends cards. tag teams, 3-packs, 4-packs, all legends packaging. sign legend's to fig deals like Jakks did without WWE.
