Outside the early Steiners, I’d take figures of Billy and Chuck over any tag team ever. This!! There’s a lot of potential if they made an Elite 2 pack for Billy and Chuck! For one, we never got ANY Billy Gunn figures from Mattle that had his short hair look, bleached hair or not. Secondly, the accessories they could include would be really nice. Tag Titles, removable headbands, their white entrance jackets, and they could even make two heads for Chuck, one with short hair, the other with long hair. Had these on the network all this past weekend man I agree they would really look good on the shelf imagine if we could get the Rico too!!

It should be a 6 figure epic moments set from the wedding with rico, 3 minute warning and Eric bischoff disguised as a minister 😄

The only thing I disagree with is the fact that Mattel said they were going to do something new and fresh, in terms of the actual figures themselves and the materials used and the plastic, yes Mattel has done great, I love the elite articulation and the basics were pretty decent up until they changed, but, Mattel DEFINITELY Hasn’t gave us the variety of superstars that jakks did. If you look at the classic superstars line from jakks, why did we get 2 nwo hogans so soon, why did we get droz but not droz from Mattel? Why did we get a cool LOD 2000 from jakks and still nothing from Mattel yet, we’ve gotten Luna Vachon, we’ve gotten Val Venus, all from jakks, Mattel continues to give us the same mess. And yes I agreee we need more ruthless aggression era figs, despite what anyone says or how they try to twist it, we have not gotten much R.A from mattel Because jakks could churn out figures like a loaded weapon, align 10 jakks figures and I guarantee they would all have the same arms and torsos. Lmao yup that is true, the only thing I hated about jakks

I’ve been waiting 20 years for a Sean O’Haire figure. At least most of these guys have some kind of representation from Jakks.

I would not be expecting another Billy Gunn figure for quite sometime.

As much as I love the RA era, there’s a user on Instagram (wwe figure hunter) who has made me almost happy to see none or few get made. He nonstop bags on AFA and just comes across as a entitled crybaby. His story today was him saying for everyone to email AFA and tell him how bad we want RA figures because one of his posts had a hundred something requests for RA era attires. Like he thinks his polling holds any merit? Just strange to me that his entire page partially revolves around whining and crying about the lack of RA figures. I love the RA era as much as anyone else, I grew up with it primarily and really got me into wrestling, but I’m not getting worked up or losing sleep over there not being an RA character in every line. Reading this post makes me understand why a couple of people I know left the forums, because of miscommunications like these. I bet you’re angry that 113 attires were requested on my polls 🤷♂️ I’m just spreading a message, and at the same time a meme (in which by definition means a thought or message that sticks in your mind). I’ve been sick of missing out on a Codebreaker Jericho and a 2006 Kurt Angle in exchange for a Gronkowski and a Rock attire in which he only wore once. Now, I dont speak for most collectors when I spam crabs, but I’m damn sure those who chose to follow in my footsteps are also annoyed with seeing our childhoods crushed with those RA stars slipping out of contracts with WWE (like Jericho, Finlay, Maria Kanellis, etc). My page revolves around my childhood era, Jeff Hardy, and John Morrison. I can guarantee that your Instagram page is full of figures representing your childhood, while I have to paint figures in order to achieve mine. Although you have attires in mind that Mattel probably hasn’t made yet, the chances that they have made a majority of them are incredibly high while RA collectors cant even get a Shawn Michaels. Don’t like my message? Sorry, because I will keep pushing until I see a change, because ridiculousness comes in the form of a Gronk elite, which I know you’re very excited for. Actually, I find the gronk release ridiculous and have stated that before, well before I knew of your page or your opinions. Additionally, I was one of the first people to make fun of another rock in an attire that no one was really clamoring for either. I like that you tried to turn it around on me for supporting figures that not many people want, but unfortunately for you I’ve already gone on record posting about those figures and not liking them. Apparently reading isn’t your strong suit either as I also said I love the RA era as much as anyone else, it’s the era I grew up on more so than the attitude era. Would I love to see more of them included in the line? Of course. Am I going to make it my goal to annoy one of the designers of the line because I don’t think the numbers included are up to par with what I want though? Nope. They are toys, at the end of the day I’m happy to get the ones we have. If you think your complaining is going to be the catalyst for some change in there line then go on ahead and keep complaining. I’m sure members of the Mattel design team are losing sleep since you aren’t happy with their releases. Congrats on getting 113 attires requested, I’m sure Bill and AFA were counting on you to get that so they could report back to other members of their team. Welcome to the boards by the way, I’m glad to see that my post (I’d imagine you were tipped off that I named your page so you came and registered) brought you here.

I just really want an Ultimate or Elite of HBK from the match vs Flair WM24. Removable hat and vest This!! Absolutely. Could be such a cool figure. We have the flair so we may as well get the matching Shawn! Mattel is usually good with getting out the matching figure when made in Elite form.
