Mattel does a great job and makes a lot of amazing figures. But there's a lot of stuff that's either awful, or something much better could have been used. Survivor Series Elite Jeff hardy- Add his arm tattoo which he had at the time. Don't know why it was left off, but it was a dumb decision. Walgreen's DX Shawn Michaels
- Change the head to his Basic 4, or Basic 100 head, and give him the right hair colour... The ponytail head it came with is awful and i wish they'd retire it. Walgreen's DX Triple H
- Change the head to an actual 2005/2006 HHH look with the Lemmy stache. A new headscan with a sculpted stache and not a lazy repaint of an older headscan like they did those 2 Basics. Elite 29 CM Punk
- Add the kickpad designs he wore at SummerSlam 2013. Also TrueFX the head. Elite 14 & HOF King Booker
- Swap the head with his BAF head. So much better than the head that came with both Elites. Every Edge Elite- Though i'm not too bothered by it, swap for a bigger torso. Also new headscans that actually look like Edge. I've got the Jakks RA35 head on my HOF Elite, and it looks 1000x better than any head Mattel has done so far. Elite 50 Rhyno
- We all know WHY. Most HBK heads could be replaced |

Other fixes: Legends 2 Rick Rude - add the detail on the back of the tights E29 Andre the Giant - molded singlet Legends King Kong Bundy - molded singlet E70 Vince McMahon - make him shorter and give him a better head sculpt HOF Macho King - give him the shirt he wore with the tights RR91 Macho King - make the orange parts pink and give him his hat, correct glasses, and jacket BAF Basic Ted DiBiase - make him an elite and give the suit a shiny paint application MKSavage is my kindred soul on this board! I second these wants with a few others. King Kong Bundy. The molded singlet would be nice but I also never felt his head looked right nor his thin, toned arms. A complete resculpt of the head to really capture his unique look and eyes properly.  Big Bossman never captured the heel 88 89 early years. I want mirrored sunglasses, more of a fat look from those years and a resculpt of his face to really capture the aggressive Hogan hating bossman. Akeem needs a yellow entrance shirt that is not shiny jersey material. He needs to look fatter too. Head resculpt is in order as the existing one is bland and doesn't really do him justice. Doing a twin towers 2 pack would solve both of these issues. Maybe don't call it twin towers on the packaging due to 9/11.  Vince McMahon 80s/early 90s figure completely bothers me. The coloring on the face and hair is washed out and looks like 70 year old vince. Darker hair and a different coloring on his face. Eyes need to pop and almost look beady. Pink on the lips. Less bodybuilder physique. Just tone it down. I want to see tux with red bow tie and/or red or pinkish jacket vince too.  It bothers me that queen sherri is in a look she wore for a one time entrance. I want regular sherri look from the dozens of other times she appeared with savage. Macho king the ringside exclusive that is impossible to find now? Redo it with the look he wore at his coronation. Including the robe. Fix the sunglasses too. They were not the same rimmed glasses as his face macho man run. They had an entirely different shape.   |

Survivor Series 2011 Rock...True FX goatee instead of the sharpie one he got.  Maybe give him a Rock head instead of Jonathan Coachman. |

- We all know WHY. Most HBK heads could be replaced I 100% agree with this! Especially the Wrestlemania 12. Always felt a new head with a long ponytail should have been made for that figure. And his DX IYH head was just completely inaccurate. |

What was the issue with Rhyno? His ridiculously oversized shoulders and arms. They completely ruined the figure... Which sucks because it was his only Elite. I'm a big Rhyno fan and ever since Mattel got the licence, i was hoping they'd do an Elite of him one day. Then when they finally do, this is the result. Final Release vs A Fix-up i found  If there’s one cringe figure it’s definitely that one 😖 |

Wrestlemania 7 Warrior is a great choice due to the head, and the fact the duster is missing a lot of the deco around the shoulders. I'm gonna go with another Warrior and say Summerslam 1992, since it's missing the duster entirely. The hair should also be blonde and I think the colour of the singlet itself is pretty far off:  |

Literally all of the Surfer Stings needed some work. While my biggest want would have been turning the Network Spotlight basic into an Elite, all of them needed bigger legs and the British Bulldog torso. The Defining Moments scan was good but looked like a bobblehead, and the straight faced scan looked like the customs people used to make out of John Cena.
Dude Love with a True FX printed tie-dye shirt instead of that disappointing tribal design.
RetroFest Shawn Michaels with correct multi-color tights instead of just one solid color on each leg piece.

APA Farooq. He doesn’t look like that. He never looked like that. Fix the skin tone and face. No one wanted Tim meadows in street gear....

DM GAB ‘90 Sting - give him the Austin torso, thicker thighs and the e62 head.
Legends Snuka - trunks and barefoot.
Legends Road Warriors -
Animal - give him the body parts.
Hawk - give him the larger arms used of the DM Steamboat and all elite Ziggler.
All Elite Ziggler figures since e19 - Go back to the arms and legs parts they used for him pre-e19.
Basic -
Starrcade ‘90 Sting Make taller like Network Spotlight Sting.

Tyler Bate - Beard please.
RVD - Can I get a better face? I know he's high ... but come on.
Kyle O'Reilly - New head scan please. Maybe the new Elite will have a good one.
Kurt Angle - Jesus, can we get a cool face? Old Jakks and TNA made him look tough.
Edge - I don't want a smirking or smiling Edge. I want my figures to look tough.
HBK - Has there ever been a head that truly captures this guy?
Kalisto - He ain't THAT short.

I'd like them to redo the basic neon green Sting ambomination in ELITE form. - Austin/Bulldog chest. Newer Sting face sculpt, taller

The last figure I was pumped for by name but was disappointed by when it was revealed was the Network Spotlight Diesel. After the Hall of Fame figure, I thought Mattel would surely use that head with different hair or maybe a new head altogether. Imagine the disappointment when it was the Elite 16 head.
I think my others are more attire based. Sherri in a match that's remembered for all the wrong reasons. Swap Warrior from Havoc to Mania 12 and I would have bought it. I still don't own any figures from that line.

RSC DX HBK - honestly wouldn't know who it's meant to be if I saw the head by itself.
