Out of all the chase figures Shelton Benjamin is the best one, as it is based on his earlier run. The subtle attire differences are fine just think in a WrestleMania set they would have put that Kevin Owens out as a standard figure at 2 per case and he would have peg warmed. Some of these guys that got chases we are lucky that they got 2 elites.

Mostly my point was that I think the chases should be significantly different from the base figure like hardy or Benjamin. Those are the 2 most people have noted they want as well. I dont think the chases are bad just that some are so subtle with the change that it really takes the fun out of it where they are kind of pointless. I dont think hardy will be easy to find anywhere by the way

"Mattel needs to make exclusives easier to find. Also, Mattel's variants are easy to find, and that's problematic."
You do you, WF.

Anybody complaining about anything being too easy to find needs to be hit in the head with a brick.
A) every area and every STORE is different, so you don't represent us all. A figure, chase or exclusive that you've seen 20 times maybe has never and WILL never come into stock in any of somebody else's store(s).
and
B) WHY DO YOU WANT IT TO BE HARD? I'm not one of those people that gets a rush or needs a thrill or thinks struggling to find a figure needs to have this huge endgame payoff.
I want to be able to get the figures I want and not have to have it be a massive, frustrating, impossible saga.

I already have a tough time as it is in the UK lol

Hawkins has been the only chase I have seen more than a couple times. Shelton I think I saw maybe once and that not counting the one I got from WWE shop. That line hit Wal-Mart's hard and I didn't see the chase much. I have only seen 2 Aiden English chase figs but they were at the same Wal-Mart at the same time.

I like having items that not everyone can walk into the store every day. If someone asks the highlight of a collection I doubt anyone says it's my standard issue elite 53 kevin owens. Its likely a piece that is somewhat rare or sought after by others. That is what a chase figure I think should be and the Jeff hardy will be that way I bet. Not putting down anyone for their personal likes just noting mine that when I think chase figure I dont think solid color versus lighting bolt on same outfit as the difference.

The chase figures don't bother me too much. I have the Shelton and Hawkins but couldn't care less about the Owens and English ones. The chase Mabel is the one I want of course. Forget the chases I still need an Alexander Wolfe. Have yet to see him in a store. Some please get me a Wolfe!!!!! LOL

I'm sorry, I don't understand wanting to have stuff that not other people get. I'm sorry, this is my opinion, but I think it's selfish. I don't get any more satisfaction about my Pete Dunne or Alexander Wolfe because there's people out there who don't have it and can't have it. I wish EVERYONE who wants Pete Dunne and Alexander Wolfe could get it. Maybe it's just me, but my collection only has to do with ME and what I want. It has nothing to do with anyone else.

I like the idea a lot when it is a second outfit of a more obscure wrestler who probably isn’t getting another figure anytime soon.

The highlight of my wrestling figure collection isn’t my 1/100 Jakks Toy Fair Exclusive Warrior it’s my Mattel DM GAB ‘90 Sting because I waited 25 years for someone to make that Sting from my all-time favorite match. And that figure wasn’t hard to find at all. Hell many here hate it.

Benjamin worked great because it represents a different part of his career, but simply having different attires works great IMO. Completely different colored attires for Hawkins and Jeff Hardy is what it should be like for everyone. The small, subtle differences for KO, Aiden, and Mabel I agree aren’t that good for chase figures. And with KO, it’s just a different shirt. Maybe on a special occasion they will make a chase be more than just color differences, but for my liking they just need to keep doing them like Hawkins/Hardy/Benjamin and not KO/Aiden/Mabel. I agree with everything you said. I do like the KO chase but only because i have his WM34 Elite that has the "Wrestlemania 2" logo on hia shirt. So i think WM3 will be cool to go with that. But if i dont get it, no big deal. Also, the Nikki Cross figure variant is really just her wearing her entrance gear vs her not wearing it and it being off to the side. Unless im missing something.

Favorite wrestler, favorite match.

My Wal-Mart has yet to receive any of the elite waves containing chase figures. Haven't had an elite set in stock since breezango series. Only the stupid top talent crap. Same with my Walmart. Haven't got crap in forever.

My favourite Chase was when Jakks gave out real metal "gold" championship belts. I still have the gold Heavyweight Championship that came with an RA Batista. Love it. People comment on it in all my videos. Wish Mattel did a chase belt variation. They used to do it when they first launched: (The belts look awful, I know lol) Lol! I forgot about those. I appreciate that they tried, but nowhere near as nice as the old Jakks.. Either way, would appreciate if they did these.

No one wants Hawkins, that’s why people will probably see his chase figures sit. I don’t know why they chose him if all people to get a chase
