Keep in mind the entire series are budgeted, not individual figures. Certain figures in a series sometimes have to do without deco and/or accessories for the benefit of other figures. 47B had Goldust and Ascension. It woulda been nice for Rock to have track pants or the big eagle but I can understand why he only came with a cloth shirt. But look at Elite 47, one of the best ever sets

You put the shirt on DM rock for an accurate 98 look and just give e47b a big eagle that there’s plenty of now.

Tyler Bate is pretty basic, the only reason I will be picking it up is for the United Kingdom championship.

Elite 26 Warrior, I appreciate the work put into it but there’s a reason it rotted forever. The reason is it was shipped by the caseload. Entire cases of this figure were in stores. In the uk where we didn’t get cases of just that figure it sold out quickly. Had just been 2 per case it wouldn’t have rotted at all Yeah I think once he passsd Mattel wanted to strike on it being hot at that time and reproduce do it and shipped full cases

But look at Elite 47, one of the best ever sets And Boss Man had to be moved from another series (HOF maybe) because he was a cheap figure reusing preexisting accessories in all black attire with no deco to accommodate the budget. And other than Asuka, not much deco was used on anyone. You can even argue that AJ is “lazier” than Rock since he comes with a plastic reused plain black hoodie vs a cloth shirt on Rock.

Every Roman figure that has the gap in the tattoo on his shoulder, and now elite 56 for missing that part and his entire pec tattoo.

Lazy is a harsh word to use. I'm sure Bill and his team do the best they can. Due to the budget constraints from Mattel, I'd use "plainest" or "least accesories/most reused parts" to describe these.

E56 Roman reigns missing his tattoo is the laziest, you just can't leave something out like that is the vest is removable

I'd probably go with something like the E21 AJ Lee... just a very plain looking figure with only a "necklace" as an accessory - and the fact that Elite and Basic women had exactly the same articulation didn't help either. Lazy is a harsh word to use. I'm sure Bill and his team do the best they can. Due to the budget constraints from Mattel, I'd use "plainest" or "least accesories/most reused parts" to describe these. This. Exactly.

Man, some of you guys have no idea how a business works. Everything they release is a money grab. The point of every release is to make money, not to commemorate a wrestler. Not every figure is going to be 100 percent perfect.

As stated previously, it has nothing to do with laziness. Bill and his team are passionate as hell about the product they put out, but at the end of the day, they're still slaves to the budget they're given.

I think they produced extra Warrior figures for planned appearances and then he passed and they were left with cases full of his figures. So those cases eventually got shipped out to stores.
