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. Someone finally gets it! Well I know others do but still. Also Bill might not be able to come out and just TELL us the whole deal, like "Look, I want to do this but corporate puts a budget on it. They won''t let me do such and such " Corporate may look at that and take it the wrong way and then Bill's job is in jeopardy. And trust me the next guy could be a HELLUVA lot worse than Bill. So think about that next time you want your legends figure. Or this or that. Calling Bill lazy is a complete dick move.

Elite 26 Warrior, I appreciate the work put into it but there’s a reason it rotted forever. Yes, they made 4 times more of them than any other regular Elite. almost as if when they tell you that you don't want to believe it....

I felt like the APA had some of the best gear they could have gotten. Folding chairs with their logo, plus their round table and door? All it's missin' is the beers and cards! I’m not talking about the accessories at all. I’m talking the figures themselves. IMO I think they should save the t shirt jeans look for basics and all elites be ring gear.

A quick google search shows a majority of photos of APA in their street gear, that and the Acolytes only lasted in 1999 before rebranding to the Acolytes Protection Agency this would've shelfwarmed pretty hard (if not harder) in comparison to the APA we've got

But everyone has their own opinions.

My only gripe is some of the Machos not coming with shirts/tops. The red/black/yellow WCW and HOF King sould have had tops. Whatever though. Wasn't enough to stop me from not buying them.
For the Acolytes, give them tag titles, make them an exclusive 2 plack, boom I bet they sell.

IT DID. Like I say I didn't change the title or OP (a MOD did) Okay fair enough. I was more than happy with the title, all these snowflakes on here saying "Stop calling Bill Lazy" I've never heard of Bill and I'm sure he gets paid well enough for people to be able to criticize his work. I truly hope all the same IDIOTS on this thread never dare pan a movie, after all the director was very passionate about such movie, surely it's the same thing? Saying a film I like is rubbish must therefore be wrong to do so, as everyone was passionate about it and worked hard on it.

I think it's okay to criticize any figure, as we are the consumer, maybe the word lazy just stepped on some toes. And after all, it really comes down to The budget. Some figures judt cant be afforded all the extravagant colors that we so want, because other figures require a large amount of the allotted cost for deco. I'd much rather have a set of elites with say 3 that are stellar and have a very detailed attire in addition to 3 others who's attire required much less detail and cost to produce.
Also, it's all different with a movie. You only see parts of the movie in the tralier, you go see the movie if that interests you enough where you don't know what to fully expect quality wise. With these figures, we have full capability of seeing what the figure comes with and it's deco. It's different. No one forces you to but a figure that you can already see you wouldn't he interested in, unless you blindly preorder before seeing protos or finalized product photos and loose pictures

Elite 31 Rock without vest.
Elite Enzo and Cass without Mics (which they lovingly added to their second versions!)
Defining Moments 'word life' Cena without title belt. - should have been a regular elite
Defining Moments Ultimate Maniacs warrior - should have been a regular elite
Entrance Greats Kurt Angle. Should have been a Defining Moments figure with medals, European championship and IC championship.
Battle Pack flashback Edge and Christian - should have had sunglasses.

No one forces you to but a figure that you can already see you wouldn't he interested in, unless you blindly preorder before seeing protos or finalized product photos and loose pictures Some points I have raised are, that these are called Elite figure, they are supposed to be premium compared to the basics. But honestly some Elites are barely any better than their basic counterparts. Also I read a lot of threads in the Mattel section here, people complaining that many Elite are not accurate (wrong head, arms, attire etc) and people doing little fix ups on brand new figures, so I feel that not enough research was done prior to the figure being produced. There are a lot of Wrestling experts on here who I think would do a superior job and not let little mistakes go on to be produced and these are not budget reasons why figures are inaccurate, it's someone not doing enough research or not caring as much as the consumer. The fact people keep bringing up the name Bill in every other post is ridiculous, as I never named anyone nor have I heard of him and so what if I used the word "Lazy" that is an accurate word for what I read peoples gripes are with certain figure, it's wrong head used or torso or era defining inaccuracies that could have been prevented if someone cared enough to do their research.

I want people to remember something! These are Elite figures, not basic, they are premium Elite figure, so there should be no slacking in costs. They still have to stick to a budget. Not every figure is going to be perfect.
