I wish the retro HBK would of been better. Mania 25 gear with coat and hat would of been cool or maybe a retro like the TRU HBK elite figure

Elite 62 Sting. It's a nice looking figure but it should have been pink and black/Beach Blast '92. Most Surfer Sting fans have been requesting a pink and black Sting and Mattel knows it. However, someone at Mattel wanted to do a GAB '91 Sting, so that's what we got.

Mine would have to be BP48 Shawn Michaels & Diesel. Was hoping/expecting them in blue in their Dudes w/ Attitudes attire.

Elite 63 Nakamura. The head is perfect, but those stripped pants are goofy looking.
Also the Hall of Champions Billy Gunn...It's supposed to be a New Age Outlaws circa 1998 look, but he never wore pink in '98. Blue or yellow would have been the better choice.

EG Bobby Roode-was hoping for white trunks to match the white robe, but we got the same old black that has been released several times before and after
Wrestlemania XXX Battle Pack Sheamus-shouldve been in his Night of Champions 2012 Boston Celtics attire. Instead we got some hideous black/red attire probably to save on paint costs.
Early Elite CM Punk-shouldve had one in his white/black Chicago White Sox attire he wore often
Elite Neon Cowboy Macho Man Randy Savage-shouldve made Summerslam 1989 instead

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 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. that's where you're wrong kiddo
also: "hot garbage" quit being histrionic
you realize that APA does not equal the Acolytes as they are 2 totally different gimmicks (and lets be honest here, The Acolytes aren't the most colorful in terms of attire choices, which does not translate well into figure form)
and point about Hogan, you can blame the leaked footage from Gawker on that; doesn't really help that Mattel can't predict the future outcome of the WWE's HOF'ers

Any Hogan besides the Defining Moments and Elite 34 figures. nWo Hogan and Hulk Still Rules were so obvious and yet here we sit with American Made and Hollywood still isn't a given.

I'd do a headswap with the original Gunn Elite. He did wear pink a lot in 1999 and green works for 1998.

Legends Snuka was a letdown, E32 Rey was also a big disappointment (glad Mattel got WCW Rey correct for me in E67) but probably the biggest miss for me personally was the second Defining Moments Undertaker. Being that it was just a repaint of the SDCC exclusive, which I already have, I had no incentive to buy it. His gear from Mania 14 or 17 would have been my choice.

Your videos just further prove my point, kiddo. They wore that attire in backstage segments. They wore tights for both their acolyte and APA run when they WRESTLED. As for Hogan, I never said it was Mattel’s fault what happened with Hogan. It is their fault, however, for not making it sooner based on the demand. American Made, 2014, and wrestlemania 9 Hogan could have waited.

Elite Shamrock because he wasn't in his blue attire
Elite Alundra Blayze since she wasn't in her white attire
Elite Scotty 2 hotty for not being in his black or white attire
Every Elite Strowman released because of their attire choice
Every Elite Hardy since there hasn't been an Attitude era released yet
Elite APA (for not having ring gear) ESPECIALLY Farooq for not having the right skin tone.
Elite Brian Kendrick for not coming out in his "Hooligans" attire when he tagged with Paul London (I knew his first figure wouldn't be this attire but I really wished it was)
Def Elite Snuka!!
Ringside Exclusive Hogan for not being the Hollywood Hogan
Ringside Exclusive Bret Hart that wasn't his orange trim from Survivor Series
This last one, might be just me... But every New Day attire released. I have yet to buy any New Day because they haven't released any Elite that felt like an iconic attire. No blue or pink UNICORN, or colorful OWL or a green, blue and pink ICE CREAM.... (Throws a tantrum like and 8 year old girl) "I want it!" lol

Any dark on dark Orton or Miz attire, they tend to translate terribly to figure forum.

Snuka and Slaughter legends were without question my biggest letdowns.
Oddly APA were exactly the versions I wanted and didn't expect them.

The diesel HBK pack was disappointing on the hbk side. They should have been in the two dudes outfits or even IYH 96 vs attire

The last two Lana figures. They really should have been wrestling gear.

At the risk of piling on, it’s Legends Snuka. I would’ve loved to have been in the decision making circle when this was given the OK because I would’ve shouted, “YOU’VE GOTTA BE EFFING KIDDING! HARD NO! He’s barefoot and that’s the end of this discussion. The rest of you can decide on SGT. Slaughter. Surely you can’t screw THAT one up.”
