Series like DOD are main reason of lack of RA figures.

Honestly I hate people s***ing on this era. For a lot of this, this is where we started. When I think back to my happy times growing up with wrestling. 2006-2009 time really brings me back. When I think of the WWE I was raised I think of the post 2008 Draft roster. That's just what comes to mind. I think part of why we don't get as much, I truly don't know. The Era started in 2002 and ended in 2008. So the oldest memories are 18 years old, and youngest being 12 years. Attitude Era nostalgia I feel like literally started just few years after it's end. So I don't know if it's age thing. But in general I have noticed a growing nostalgia for the 00's. The Attitude Era had much larger impact on the industry. But, I think it would only be fair for increase. A lot of stars like Edge, Orton, Batista, Jeff Hardy, Kurt Angle Cena to extent as well as the PG Era, are best characterized by this era; or for some had great runs. Like HHH, Taker, HBK, etc.
I think Mattel at the end of the day does a very good job. And for sure there has been times where they give massive headaches. But I would like to see more Edge's, Cena, HBK, Jeff Hardy Taker, HHH from 2005 onwards. As well as more coverage from 02-05 period.

Mattel definitely lacks RA figures. Never got WM18 Chris Jericho, 04 Dudley Boys, WMXX Eddie Guerrero, 04 Kurt Angle. RA has some great attires and hate that Mattel just skips them. WMXX Kurt Angle would have been amazing! They’ve been done, just not very good lol An RSC Elite 2 pack of this match would be so dope though.

Everyone has a different jumping on point and reason why they became a fan which is why I try to never criticize someone’s favorite match, moment, wrestler, era, etc.

This is probably my first or second favorite era and is an era I collect the most. Anything post 2009 is an instant pass for me which is most of what mattel produces

Muhammad Hassan Jamie Noble Billy Kidman Rene Dupree Chris Masters Carlito Marcus Cor Von Bashams Lance Cade Ultimo Dragon Charlie Haas Chuck Palumbo Nunzio Kid Kash Mexi Cools Paul London Gregory Helms Spike Dudley Shannon Moore Tyson Tomko Funaki Chief Morley Lance Storm Scott Steiner Test Joey Mercury Sylvan Rob Conway Tajiri Eugene Orlando Jordan Sean O Haire Johnny Stamboli Mike Awesome Crash Holly Kanyon Nathan Jones A Train John Heidenreich Kizarny Bill Demott D Lo Chaz Raven Rico Big Daddy V Chris Nowinski Rodney Mack The Dicks The Heart Throbs Luther Reigns Kevin Thorn Hardcore Holly Matt Striker Elijah Burke Sylvester Terkay Simon Dean The Gyminis The Highlanders Spirit Squad Bam Neely Mark Jindrak Jimmy Wang Yang Kenny Dykstra Diavari Killers row lol. I mean i would like some of these but i see why many of this era will never see a figure of them. These were probably the most bland and boring mid carders I've ever seen along with others not mentioned. Sure a few I'd love to have figures of but most of the wanted figure would be of guys who already have tons already. This is the era where I actually lost all interest in wrestling for a long time.

I don’t care so much about the mid-carders/low card RA guys, I’m more interested in different looks for the big name wrestlers.

More Ruthless Aggression Elites is best for business.

It was hard enough to get them to make Attitude Era figures at the beginning. Like, there was a time when they said they wouldn’t make DX because... reasons. And Scott Hall was supposedly never gonna happen because he killed a guy in legally justifiable self defense. Oh and no Chyna because she had sex.

It wasn't just sex, she filmed a gangbang with actors making fun of the bosses of the WWE. Honestly suprised she got a figure.

There's a few Id buy but for the most part I just dont simply think its a very desired era. Legends (Golden, New Gen & Attitude) are what drives the collectors market and the current roster is what drives the mainstream/kiddo market. Outside of the BIG names from the RA era (a lot of which we've gotten) there's really not a market for any of them. Sorry but someone like Luther Reigns isnt gonna sell dick.

I think that’s a bit worse than a pornstar.

It blows my mind that a guy as popular and with as many great attires as Eddie Guerrero had only one elite from his 04/05 era for over 10 years before we finally got the latest hall of fame figure. And he’s been available to Mattel since they got the line. The fact he’s only had 5 total elites in the Mattel run makes it worse (and one was in a jeans mold).
And Eddie is just one example...

And every Eddie elite since the first has been a Target exclusive. It sucks for those of us that don't have a Target around.

I think that’s a bit worse than a pornstar. They made a figure of him, put him in the HOF, and his daughter is still a superstar. It's pretty funny what the WWE considers an unforgivable offense. Then again, I'm pretty sure we all know where Vince and his wallet stood on that incident by now, so...

And we’ve gotten a massive load of Golden Era elites, a good bit isn’t sufficient in this case.

Considering how much I hated that era, this is a non problem for me. This Shows how much you care for collectors, only care for the classics but not for other’s childhoods.
