Elite 3 Shawn Michaels - They had a perfect opportunity to make one of the best HBK figures, i think it's dumb how they gave the Basic 4 one of his best and more memorable attires, and the Elite a bland less memorable attire. Had they swapped them around, that Elite would have been one of the bets figures by Mattel.
Elite 20 CM Punk - This figure's amazing and the attire looks good, but we didn't need a second Blue Punk, his Bret Hart, Halloween inspired or Survivor Series 2011 attires would have been better. But if i could go back and change things, i'd give his Elite 6 the Red Royal Rumble 2010 attire, then keep the Blue Punk in Elite 20.
Elite 61 AJ Styles - Could have and should have gotten the White or Red attire. Nothing really stands out from the one we got.
Elite 66 Kurt Angle - 2006 Wrestling Machine/ECW.

For me it’s that we haven’t gotten a surfer Sting Elite figure in black tights with pink boots & scorpion....I’ve wanted that attire since they started making his figures....also, the RetroFest Mr Perfect attire was rather blah & coulda been much better

Retro NWO Macho Man, would much rather had a long tights Macho King, plus the execution of the figure was terrible. Didn't care fore the nitro notables either but that's because I don't like the jeans look, Hall, Nash, and Eddie have a lot of different attires they could have went with instead. Also, though I think the figure turned out fine, I would have much rather had the flashback basic Ted DiBiase in elite form so the suit could have had a shine added to it (the suit on the basic looks dull). Have to agree with others about Legends 1 Snuka, Retrofest Savage and Retrofest Michaels.

HOC Billy Gunn I really wanted an elite of him with the crowns on his trunks.
E48 Cactus Jack Would've like something more based off his WCW run. I know his look didn't change much but still.
RSC Kevin Nash I just never liked this attire, but what bothers me even more is the next Kevin Nash figures (Fan Central I believe) is the same attire.
E41 123 Kid I was really hoping for 123 Kid in his Summerslam 95 or Survivor Series 95 attire.
E38 Sting So many different Sting looks to choose from...
Walgreens Exclusive DX Shawn Michaels I was hoping any elite based off 06 DX would be from Summerslam 06, like the upcoming Battle Pack figure.

Some of these options seem reasonable like snuka in some cases we eventually get a regular worn famous attire like Hogan but some were just spur of the moment.rvD who left around 2014 .Mattel only had time to put a few basics(not bad looking actually besides the t shirt one)and elite just had to be current to keep his sales flow.But some cases like current superstars having a good UPDATED attire made only just to be complained that cause it looks ____(fill in the blank ). But blame the superstar for wearing it.Just my opinion:)

And for figures that were just getting one time figures (in who knows amount time like 1-2-3kid,warlord,sid,godfather and etc.) Mattel just had to make the most iconic/recognizable attire to make easier to sell.(But I'm sure they eventually get another attire that's good just like natural disasters)

Well, the Legends Series aside...
Elite 28 Demolition Crush - I'd have much preferred Kona (or Evil) Crush
Elite 36 DDP - repaint of the Legends figure, instead of a new jeans-look version
Elite 51 and/or SummerSlam Mankind - both basically being repaints and neither being the white shirt/brown tights look
Defining Moments Ultimate Warrior 2 - boring/short-lived attire over a more iconic (green trunks?) look, with world title and yellow IC title
Flashback 2 Razor Ramon - promo/street attire (that no-one ever asked for) over ring attire
Fan Central Big Show - another modern version over the long-haired 1999 look
Retro Goldberg - modern version instead of a WCW (or even WWE '03/'04) version Retro Macho Man - NWO version instead of neon colours or Macho King Retro Jericho - modern "list" version instead of a long-haired WWE or WCW version Retro Jeff Hardy - modern version instead of an earlier or AE version
* Also - seeing as the Elites of RVD, the Dudley Boys and Rhyno were all one-and-done, I'd have much preferred Flashback ECW or earlier WWE versions to the current versions we had...

A little off topic but does anyone know why we haven't seen a new Jimmy Snuka figure in the attire we all wanted...bare feet, jungle print?

I would have preferred the Summerslam 2006 attire or the Survivor Series 2006 version, but i'm fine with the one we got, it works for 2006 DX and early 2007 singles run HBK.

Bill always said it’s the figure he most wished he done differently. He wasn’t charged for murder until September 2015 so there was time to do another Snuka.You’d think if tights and boots Snuka was your biggest regret then you’d correct it the first opportunity you got. Instead we got repaints of Vader, Slaughter, Trish, Yoko, Boss Man, DDP within that time period.

Yes! I still think the elites should have been in wrestling gear and battle packs in street. Though imo the accessories made up for it. Same here and yes fair enough on the accessories ironically some of the best lol

APA was more of a backstage act to me. They were more entertaining in those segments than in the ring. I can’t recall one memorable match as APA and had to look up their ring attire just to be reminded what they wore but there are countless card games, backstage brawls, and bar fights that are vivid in my memory. I feel jeans and t-shirts are much more representative of the APA that most people remember. Now the shirts with sleeves when first revealed prior to the running change were a big disappointment.

Both DDP Elites. I would have had him in jeans, rib tape, and his blue diamond shirt and a vest.

For me personally, every Sting besides the first DM one that's Crow Sting instead of Surfer Sting. So many great, colorful attires, but instead, we keep getting minor variations of the same thing.
