It's better than basics with no accessories

Just so long as I don't end up with 75% of a figure like the Paul Bearer, I'll be happy. Never did see that Neville. Plus Fink comes with figures I actually want, which is nice.

It’s the only fiscally safe way for them to release certain figures If that really is the case, then I do like the idea of using figures that are somewhat related to the one you are building. At least they could come from the same era. If I had to, I wouldn't mind building managers with guys they managed previously. For instance: Mr. Fuji - built by: Don Muraco, Bob Orton, Killer Khan, Yokozuna, etc. Slick - built by: Nikolai Volkoff (we need a new one), Hercules, Paul Roma, Butch Reed, etc. It would be a great way to get a few more legends or variants, even if they are in basic form.

This set isn’t too bad, but it’s frustrating needing to buy 4 basics when I collect elites. Manages and guys in suits I don’t mind as basics, but for example this bob Orton is something I’ll only want for parts for Fink as I have his elite. The slaughter is ok as we don’t have a heel elite so I’ll take it, but it’s not ideal.

Im so happy he's not, he was originally supposed to be, but im glad he's stand alone, because now i don't have to buy a Triple H, Seth Rollins and Cesaro i don't need, the X-Pac looked cool, but i have the elite so i don't need it, i might try to build The Fink, But i don't wanna buy 4 figures i don't even want, just to get The Fink in 4 severed body parts and a microphone

Sometimes I don't think its the particular character that causes figures to warm as much as poor distribution.

Fink ever wear a long necktie? Just now noticed he didn't have a bowtie. I was planning on buying two Mean Gene figures and an extra set of figures containing Fink parts (minus head) for a Okerlund in a tux. apparently Mattel doesn't have google cause yeah he never wore a necktie

Sometimes I don't think its the particular character that causes figures to warm as much as poor distribution. Jakks did get more midcarders released, but that was purely based on what their contract was and go the company was run. Jakks was able to get their own rights rot release certain characters and what not, while Mattel could only release those with some sort of deal with wwe. It may be a packing difference between each company. I remember never seeing certain classic figures, maybe certain ones were 1 in every 3 cases? I have no clue. I’d love a lot of those figures you mentioned, but you go try and sell a butch reed figure to a kid and see how poorly it goes

If they did power and glory as basics with the molded t shirts and sunglasses as a Battlepack that would be sweet. Hercules and Roma would be low deco figures as well so maybe include a chain with Hercules
