Ok. I am not a major collector of female wrestling figures. But I just watched a ruthless aggression episode focusing on female competitors and it made me realize how limited women legends elites have been. With the exception of Trish and Lita, it has been one and done or not at all. Here are a few major examples of glaring omissions.
Victoria (first raw main event, first women's cage match, wm20 match, etc.)
Bertha Faye (super toyetic)
Bull Nakano (super toyetic)
Madusa (early 90s wcw) or a debut Alundra Blayze look
Sensational Sherri (another Macho man era look, million dollar man look, hbk era look, Harlem heat look)
Luna Vachon (crazy toyetic)
LayCool (split in half women's title)
Molly Holly (variety of looks)
Ivory (variety of looks)
Sable (attitude era staple)
Jacquelyn (multiple looks like, but pg version needed)
Mickie James (wm21 attire)
Controversial ones but needed:
Sunny (bodydonna, smoking gunns look, etc) fabulous Moolah (80s version and pantsuit attitude era version)

Sable is a huge want for me. Also would like to see Marlena as well as Stacy. Keibler and Torrie Wilson

Feel like Molly will be in an upcoming Legends line.

How many of the women you listed even have WWE contracts...

Huge huge yes on getting Bull (and where's the love for the Jumping Bomb Angels?), but for most female Legends I'd rather they show up in the Legends line and leave spots in the Elite waves to current talent.

I'd be down for a Bull Nakano and Sherri. Also another Wendi Richter...in neon green w/ blue title belt from the screwjob match.

The lack of legend females was a big factor in me getting out of collecting. When I see what Chella is doing and the talent, it's a clear sign that talent is out there and that either WWE doesn't see the need to sign them or the talent/estate don't want to sign the soul owning WWE deals.

Mattel might be hesitant releasing more seeing how Miss Elizabeth, Mae Young & Chyna elites have warmed like crazy.

Can't say much for miss Elizabeth, but I'm sure mae young was a 1 off, and they are making another Chyna anyway. Personally, I think Sable is the most glaring omission thus far. And while the same goes for sunny, we all know she ain't getting anything made. |

We NEED Sable. She's a glaring omission. I can't believe Jakks never made one when she came back in 2003 smdh and we only have those hideous BCA era ones
If Mattel are worried female legends warm they could short pack them or make them ringside exclusives. I think Alundra and Wendy Richter sold well but I think they were made in much less quantities.

Mae Young in a red bathing suit and sparkly red shirt and crown was a weird mix of her younger days and older days and the trophy that existed after she was passed. I think a pant suit Mae Young from the attitude era or ruthless aggression would have sold better. Puppies!! Chyna in purple from wm 17 in her playboy era packed with Rocco turned off fans. People remember badass black gear Chyna better. Miss elizabeth had a boring headscupt, was released dar away from a potential mega powers release and her all soft goods dress makes it look more like a barbie doll than a wrestling figure. If she had a better head sculpt and a sculpted dress she would have sold better. |

A few of those will move, but I'm afraid a majority would peg rot for years at rite aid. Exclusives at ringside would be a great spot for them though. A lot of these would be better than that mediocre undertaker with the wcw tag belt they got coming up.

A multipack women's three way/four way pack, exclusive to the likes of RSC (so easily available, but still able to be produced in small numbers) is the best way I could see of getting some of these names in our collections, without retailers knowing in advance that they're looking at a clearance line.
For me, personally, if i was able to add some random women to my collection, i'd want:
Sable in her black leather ring gear
Jacqueline with her red ring gear (and astounding chest)
Victoria in her pink gear w/ long black hair
Terri in some painted on low cut top and shorts, so you could hide it under a gold soft-goods dress, and do her as a 2-in-1 Marlena and backstage-interviewer Terri.
Jazz in her typical ring gear.

Of course tons of Sherri (Queen, Sister).

Madusa
I would buy Jacqueline and Sunny.
Yes Sable.
Probably Luna

Been about 2 1/2 years since the basic Marlena(w/ Goldust 2 pack) got cancelled. Can't be that difficult to "find a spot" for her. Classic Mattel over thinking things. I wonder if she is even under a deal at this point?
I also think a Molly Holly isn't that far off.

Man I wish they would have made a 99 Shattered Dreams Goldust, missed opportunity there. |

So soul owning that Jake the Snake and Billy Gunn have WWE legends contracts yet are regular characters on another wrestling TV show. |
