Man there’s a bunch.
Elite 38 APA was hot garbage. They never wrestled in that attire, that was more for what they wore in backstage segments.
The fact that the best of attitude era Triple H was in anything other than the hHh trunks from 1999-2001 is a complete letdown. To me, that’s the definitive Triple H figure and they’ve been constantly letting us down.
The first set of elite new day attires from E42, 43, and 44. That blue attire is so dull, I was really hoping for their pink and blue color scheme from 2015.
The fact that the Hogan ringside exclusive was the American Made Hogan was questionable. I know that they planned on releasing that nWo Hollywood Hogan down the line but jeeze they should have done it sooner. Other than 1985 Hogan, which was what they gave us in defining moments, Hollywood Hogan was easily the second most desired. They instead gave us 2014 Hogan, and a 1993 Hogan, which I don’t think anyone was anticipating.

Only things I would've changed about APA's attire are give Faarooq black jeans and both of them cowboy boots.
E23 HHH is still a head scratcher. It's the first DX Flashback Triple H out of the gate; why make the attire he wore when he turned on the group? dafuq

While I'm glad that Sherri is getting released and I will buy it, if I can find it at retail, the attire chosen isn't one I desired. For me the attires that are disappointing are when you read on the internet that so and so has a one year deal with WWE and it takes about one year for Mattel to get a wrestler on the shelves. So you know that Mattel has one chance ONE SHOT! to get it right.So instead of getting a plethora of RVD we got one elite. We got modern Dudleys and are not likely to see ECW Dudleys, unless you want D-Von to hang out with Retro Rocker Shawn Michaels. I'm sure modern Jeff Jarrett is coming.
Bill stated in an interview that he would have personally chosen Mania 7 Sherri. The poll here, while just a small sample size of the wrestling figure community, the black dress during the Macho King era won getting half the votes. I hope, even though I'm sure it won't happen, that we will see more Sherri releases. I'm still waiting on that other Lita and Richter. But hey, at least we got that Sasha Banks! Cause that was the one every one desired from that three pack

I remember walking around Axxess last year and the cutout of Angle was in that gear and almost nobody knew where it was from

RVD - hes had far more iconic attires than the 1 elite we got Tiger stripes would have been my choice I don’t think that was a disappointment because Mattel was giving us a current one. I liked the attire they did too but it was disappointing we didn’t get any flashbacks .

Hands down the E32 Rey Mysterio flashback. Rey had a ton of colorful attires during his WCW years. So of course Mattel goes with red/black/white for his only flashback. I'm hoping we get more fb Reys beyond the Halloween Havoc figure now that he re-signed. But that figure is such a head-scratcher for me. Not only that, but they keep reusing the current Rey mask mold. His WCW mask was shaped differently and the nose section of the mask was different. Other than that, I would love a white, red and blue Rey like his wcw nwo revenge attire.

Legends 1 Jimmy Snuka for sure.
I was also bummed that those blue LOD figures were Basics and not Elites.

I’m starting to get disappointed with every Angle announced that isn’t wig and headgear and every Hardy Boyz that aren’t AE Team Extreme. Especially Hardyz. They have been back nearly 2 years and we’ve gotten countless Matt and Jeff figures but not one in their most iconic attires. I honestly don’t know what they’re waiting for because Jeff can easily be a Hogan-type scenario with one failed drug test and a third strike.

Elite 55 Neville.
While I like the attire itself, I was disappointed that it wasn't his regular and much more common black attire and instead we got an attire he wore once.

RVD and Sherri are probably the two I was most disappointed in. I thought for sure we'd get more RVDs so I wasn't worried about it at the time...but now? Bah!
Also surprised that we still don't have Team Extreme Hardyz.

Legends Snuka is the biggest for me personally. I know Mattel wanted to try and do attires Jakks didn't do yet, but obviously a barefoot trunks Snuka would be more iconic especially since they did Piper/Orton from the appropriate era.
The other ones mentioned here (Sherri, Macho Man, Triple H, etc.) they'll likely compensate on if not already rectified (Surfer Sting, LOD) but given the news about Snuka, it's unlikely we'll get his most iconic look. Thankfully making a custom of him isn't too difficult if you're willing to use ML parts.
