What’s with this recently? Multiple basic line ups with not even one women, the last battlepack set had no women, all the top talents sets have no women. We need sooo many updates and new women so this isn’t excusable. Women are main eventing WrestleMania.

The 3 banners on the top of this very forum have 3 women in them, 2 if you ignore Ronda being there twice. They're making them, they're just going to be released at a different pace to ensure retail sales. I'm sure we'll see a good selection at SDCC in a few months, too. Becky's newfound super-stardom will reflect that as soon as they catch up with her push this summer/fall.

Well, if they had more buyers like they did 2 years ago, I'm sure they'd find places for them, but everything's condensed at the moment...it's easier to collect I suppose? The new Elite Nia and some of the upcoming Elites and UE Ronda aren't slouches either.

I say less women need to be produced. My Walmart is full of the womens figures, they dont sell.

I don't dispute that there could be more, but just moving forward from the latest basic line to hit stores (92), I only count two upcoming series (94 and 97) that have no female talents scheduled. On the Elite side, the women are covered right up through 68. The representation could certainly be more fulfilling, but I don't think it's as abysmal as OP it making it out to be.

One of those ladies who is main eventing Wrestlemania, who has only one mainline Elite figure, is still sat on the shelves at bargain stores in the UK 2 years after it came out
I admire the passion of the hardcore women collectors, but outside of that bubble there’s just not this enormous demand

Because not everyone wants vegetarian pizza despite there always being a vocal minority that demand it be ordered at parties, despite it always being leftover at the end.
I like most of the female talent currently on the roster, and I think they're being released at a decent rate. I don't expect 5 Liv Morgans in one year.

When they release "THE MAN" she will sell tons.

Mandy Rose, Trish Stratus, Charlotte & Sasha Banks just hit retail in the Wrestlemania display. Ronda, Nia & Alexa are all hitting as well. We've still got another Sasha, Sonya and Baszler on the way. I think they're doing ok I say less women need to be produced. My Walmart is full of the womens figures, they dont sell. To be fair, basics in general dont sell. Ever since the joint swap its killed basics being moved. For every Charlotte (black attire), Dana Brooke and Nattie thats hanging on the shelves, I can match it with Ziggler, Miz or AJ Styles basic. I honestly hope with the addition of the Ultimate line it pretty much sticks a fork in he basic series.

We really need Battlepacks of IIconics and Riot Squad and it would be nice to see another Beth Phoenix in the line along with Sable.

I, personally, just think they don't know what to do with their women figures at the moment. They're having a small dilemma here.
First, when the figure world was alright. Basic women figures were amazing (-faces). They basically were just like elite figures. Ab crunch, all articulations (-double knee but they still don't even have that on elite because of one future reason*) and cool shoulder joints that even allows the arms to move to angles where men figures still dream off, specially AJ Styles who is unable to do his pose, lol.
Then they thought that's too good for basics and got rid of all the good articulations and they are basically crap now.
Then you could only get these figures on that level in the elite line.
Then Mattel started a new gimmick. Got rid of stupid cardboard backgrounds and gave us extra switchable hands for every single figure.
Then they realized that they can't give switchable hands for women because the shoulder joints, arms and hands are completely different (cheaper too) so they tried to came up with something else they can give us instead. Maybe they were in a good mood or it was Christmas, I don't know, but they seriously gave us 3 different, switchable, heads with Nia Jax as replacement for the hands, which was awesome.
But then, probably in a moment when Bill was unbelievable proud of doing something amazing for us, one of the financial guys seemed to came up to him and told him:
"Bill, we could do something else with that head idea, we did it before, remember? Remember the time we said, the basics are just too good, let's take these exact figures to the more expensive line and take the good stuff out of the basic ones? Let's do this again, let's take this head idea out of the Elite line and let's put them into something we call *Ultimate, huh, huh? Let's add the double knees that the elite already should have, same with the hands and let's add some useless toe joints and feed them the figures which should be normal elites right now for a whole 10 bucks more, huh, huh? Genius, right?"
And then the heads were gone from women elites and they never did it again.
They also never gave us switchable women hands with elite, like I said above and so women that we do still get, like Sherri, just have nothing else in it, literally, nothing. A little robe and that's it. Like a bad joke but yep, that's their "Elite" women's standard right now.
And that's what I meant with their momentarily dilemma. They took something out of the basic line and made it elite exclusive, then they still never fully improved to men elite level but got a cool new gimmick, one time (2 with milk truck Steph I know), that was then also immediately pulled out to put it in an even more expensive line which leaves the normal women elites at a very weird place right now.

Who has been on the main roster for at least 12 months that don’t have a figure or one in the works? I am pretty sure everyone is represented in figure form. Even jobbers like Dana Brooke have 2 figures. Mattel seems to be doing a pretty good job with putting out the ladies.

There is no lack of women c’mon. They have a lot of wrestlers to get out and not a lot of slots.
