The KO ladder match needed to be made. Big miss.

I'd buy that Jack O'Lantern one in a heartbeat.
Also would like to have WrestleMania 35.

I really hope we get one from Extreme Rules. I missed out on all the original Demon figures and now they're kinda pricey. Would like to be able to get one for a reasonable price.

Unstoppable and an elite The End are my top wants. Maybe the Pumpkin King too.

This post just reminded me that my Demon Finn (Beast in the East) is one of the select handful of Elites I got at TJ Maxx/Marshall's for like $8. |

Very interesting IMO to hear multiple people say they'd want the Halloween look as a figure. I love it too, but it was not well received at the time, and we only ever saw the face (no gear or body paint). Balor was feuding with Bray Wyatt, who was maybe going to wrestle AS Sister Abigail? Fans were very confused, skeptical, and critical at the time. But Bray got sick IIRC, and he was replaced by AJ Styles in an impromptu dream match with no build. (And they ended up making two figures of Finn from that match too.) |

That and it never having ever been fully revealed has created a mystery around it and a desire to see what coulda been. And it’s his most unique paint in WWE. Everything else is essentially a variation of Venom whereas this is completely original. |

I collect the elite/ultimate demon Balors and it does seem like it's been a while since they put one out. I would think they'll make one based off Extreme Rules. The older looks might be a longshot at this point.

Of the NXT looks, Unstoppable would be the best toy IMO (with soft goods wings/cape). Brooklyn is indeed a big miss considering the historical significance of that event. R Evolution and the San Jose house show, I'd be shocked if those ever got figures.
I could see SummerSlam 2017 eventually getting a figure just because Mattel does those PPV-specific waves sometimes. On the other hand it's not old enough to be retro and not new enough to be relevant still.
Ultimate Edition 3 from SummerSlam 2018 is pretty similar to WrestleMania 35 and Super ShowDown, so I kinda see how those didn't get figures in spite of being big shows.
Personally I think we'll see a figure from Extreme Rules 2021. I'd love for it to have an alternate head with a red X over his right eye, which would cover his look from the Sep 24 SmackDown too.

(And they ended up making two figures of Finn from that match too.) I've loved the look since it came up. The seasonal timing was perfect. My brother actually carved a Jack O'Lantern using the look as a pattern that year and it came out amazing. To me, the fact that never appeared in a match isn't an issue. I mean, we're talking about a line where people complain daily about blended looks...I don't think that a visually appealing one-off would be the worst of crimes. I mean, we're getting a premium figure of Kane soon with an accessory he never used or wore on television. There's plenty of precedent to make the figure...maybe an RSC exclusive. I want the Demon Pumpkin King. |

The Great Pumpkin Demon in some cool exclusive packaging has been a want of mine since the day it aired. I love seasonality in my wrestling, and this would be perfect. Maybe next year. Bring in Finn's airbrush guy(Orlando Pagan), let him help design the packaging and put it on Mattel Creations.
I also want a Demon with a red X over his eye. Either the one from the photo shoot, or the most recent one.

Pumpkin King Balor would look great next to the Dia De Los Muertos Rey.

Doesn’t look like he was even on the card. Was he injured? |

Noticing the coat on the Network Spotlight is black. I only recall brown. Was this corrected before it was distributed or did some black coats make it out?
