So I’ve been rearranging my collection as I get close to being caught up on all the flashbacks I wanted and it dawned on me there is virtually no ECW representation in the line.
Is there an official reason for this? Surely they’ve had guys under contract before right?

Funk Basic dreamer cactus (kind of)
I’d love some ECW guys. Would buy an elite dreamer or Sabu in a heartbeat

Bam Bam too
But yeah, ECW is horribly underrepresented.
Hopefully both Dudleys will be back under merch contracts soon so we can get them at least.

That was my wrestling era and not having any ECW guys in it hurts. The RVD and Dudley’s pass as ECW but I want and need these future HOFers: 1. Taz 2. Raven 3. Tommy Dreamer 4. Sabu
And guys that probably won’t happen: 1. Shane Douglas 2. The Sandman 3. Jett Lynn 4. Mike Awesome 5. Spike Dudley

I will take any ECW Figure Mattel will make, but there are 4 figures I NEED! Raven, Taz, Mike Awesome, and a first time ever, Masato Tanaka!

I guess I know, right now at least, Douglas has a spoiled relationship with WWE so I get that. What's with the rest of the dudes? Something personal with the Fed?

Is there an official reason for this? Surely they’ve had guys under contract before right? Very few ECW guys have been under contract since Mattel got the license - it had been almost a decade since the old ECW closed at that point, so most of the talent weren’t able to compete at WWE level by then. But could still compete at TNA level, which put them out of the running. Throw in the substance abuse issues and a lot of the ones who are retired wouldn’t be good for legend/ambassador contracts. The guys like Raven screw things up for themselves with frivolous lawsuits. We’ve had Dreamer, RVD, the Dudleys, Rhyno, Funk, Cactus.

ECW doesn’t fit into the PG Era unfortunately.

All of my major wants are ECW and WCW guys. Raven, Sandman and Jerry Lynn are my most wanted ECW guys. Although, I'd prefer a 97-98 WCW Raven. I'd love a Steve Corino since he's a WWE employee but we know based on Billy Kidman that working for WWE doesn't mean anything as far as getting a figure is concerned. Count me in as a guy who will buy the entire ECW roster if it ever gets made.
This is where Mattel's practice of only working with Legends deal talent is a massive detriment to the line. Mattel can't make names that WWE doesn't have signed and so they're forced to do stuff like The Shark. WWE is going to need some kind of nostalgic motivation to sign a bunch of the ECW guys to legends deals. The HOF, Mania in Philly, or something along those line. I'm not holding my breath.

Look, it's clear what someone needs to do. Make quality resin casts that fit Mattel bodies and sell the hell out of them until deals are made officially.

I resorted to creating a few of my own with some parts swapping and borrowing from Jakks ...

If I had to pick 6 for an ECW set
Taz Raven Sabu RVD Shane Douglas Sandman
Think the only ECW dudes I have are Funk,cactus & Bam Bam. I know it’s not happening but an Eddie in green zebra and 2 Cold Scorpio would be sick.

Isn't Sabu on that list of talent for the concussion lawsuit against WWE? I'd love a Sabu figure, but it's never gonna happen because of that case.
I'd also want Raven, Sandman, and Dreamer elites. But Dreamer might be the only chance there. (a slim one at that)

But yeah, ECW is horribly underrepresented. Well, they are toys, and this is the PG era. I wonder how much of that plays into the equation? I know they want to make money, but I don't let my kid watch ECW, so he doesn't know who those guys are. I can't be the only one.

With Steve Corino under contract as a trainer in NXT, I can't help but hope we get an elite of him.

So many wants... Taz, Raven, Sabu, Sandman, Douglas, Storm, Candido, Credible, Awesome, Joey Styles, the bWo. Dreamer, Dudleyz, Rhino and RVD from that era too of course. Some of these are not currently on the table of course but my money is there for the taking.
