Can a guy not signed to a legends deal be made into an elite fig? This is the case since the Mattel take-over, and honestly probably would have eventually been the case for Jakks. Prior to 2009 wrestlers could sign deals with Jakks individually to be inserted into the Classic Superstars line, hence why that line was often loaded throughout its run with guys and gals you wouldn't typically see being celebrated by WWE. How Jakks was able to do this then is beyond me. You'd figure WWE would have put a kibosh on that.

I hate this rule; "if a guy isnt signed". Mattel can be making some awesome wrestlers that we want. If THQ can sign guy to video game appearance deals, Mattel should too. I hope Mattel's next contract with WWE allows this to happen. I'd take an Elite Hardcore and Crash Holly 2 pack the second I see the protos. Ok so Mattel goes out and signs him on their own and then the WWE says no you can’t make him. Then Mattel would have spent money on a figure that can’t be made. Mattel can only make who the wwe gives their approval to. Yeah I know this. I still dont like it. Like the mystery Defining Moments years ago was Owen Hart 😉(because of the DVD), and we didnt get him because he wasnt approved. Everybody would have gone insane for that figure.

I hate this rule; "if a guy isnt signed". Mattel can be making some awesome wrestlers that we want. Mattel did this at the start of the line. It didn't work, because most of them didn't sell well. The issue is who are the "we" wants these "awesome wrestlers"? Mattel isn't going to keep spending thousands upon thousands of dollars to license, design, tool, produce and distribute figures of wrestlers who are only going to sell to a few dozen Wfigs members. That's why they switched to only producing wrestlers that WWE already have signed to deals. Mattel needs to do He-man method and have people sign up to buy the figure. If it reaches its goal for the amount of buyers then they'll make it.

1999 Post Job Squad Holly would be perfect. With the Hardcore title as the accessory 👍 I wish that title wasn't so stiff, wish it would flop around like the real one, it seriously looked like paper in real life haha

I would buy a Spark Plugg Holly if it came with a red racecar he can fit into As a NASCAR fan, I would totally buy that
