Build A Figure and Build A Set are always fun. The Brother Love show would be do-able: Figure 1 - Podium and microphone Figure 2 - Background set Piece #1 Figure 3 - Background set Piece #2 Figure 4 - Red stage/floor Enough with the hands aleady - so sick of those and I have a tupperware box full of the bastards. Can’t agree more. I literally bin my extra sets of hands. Imo they should be used sparingly for those who it makes sense (edge having the ‘metal’ sign, cena “you can’t see me” etc rather than with everyone) |

I thought the heartbreak hotel and summerslam interview sets were cool and wouldn't mind seeing more I thought they were one of the best things mattel have done, really good execution for pack in with figure items |

Whatever makes sense to come with the figure. I’m a MOC collector so building sets or other wrestlers doesn’t benefit me in any way.

I personally would love to see more stuff like Jakks used to do. I'm not saying necessarily with the wrestlers, but bring back Grapple Gear like packs. Building a backstage arena setup is so hard anymore because there's just no variety of items to use. I went looking on secondary for a round table the other day and the only one extant is the APA one and it's absurdly expensive. The Wrekkin stuff is ok, but the selection is poor and it's mostly vehicles these days. I want things like the old TV sets, the couch, the toilet, the fridge. Those things, Things I can build a room from. (Although make them like the wrekkin stuff where it's breakable and not trashed permanently. Better for photography.)
Also, I love having a wide selection of hands to choose from but accurate Kevin Owens left hands are annoyingly difficult to come by. Can we maybe stop messing those up? Please? I hate that I'm sitting here staring at listings for waterslide decal paper and trying to work out the logistics of printing my own tattoos just so I can have enough to go around.
But no, really. Keep giving us the hands. I love the hands. I'm aware I'm the only person on God's green earth who likes them but gimme them sweet sweet swappable hands.

That apa example is perfect of what I’d love to see more of. The door and table with the figures was great but like you say crazy expensive now. That’s one of my top most wanted |

My broke a$$ was/is too poor to afford any of them MOC. So you can imagine my dismay at looking at the APA set last week on secondary and finding out that they're going for over 100 bucks for the set |

A FTIL BAF figure. I sell or trash my belts and cloth goods so no to all that. And I don't do playsets so nope.

Number 3 without a doubt. Was really hoping we’d get Piper’s Pit and the Snake Pit at some point.

Proper goddamn parts. It’s ridiculous how much this line had regressed despite having so much tooling available

QC, Cloth goods, belts, & give me actual alternative hands that make sense for the figure. Don’t give me pointer figures for Austin or jazz hands for Mankind. Or a few Orton figures where they just gave us close fist & posing hands. Or an elite Rey from a few sets ago came with what looked like Mickey Mouse glove hands. SMH. Open, close, & or posing hands.

Entrance gear and belts. Soft goods are preferable This. I do like BAFs if they're desirable/new figures, but: 1. I only buy 1 or 2 figures per wave these days, so don't really want to have to get the others just for the BAF piece 2. The last few BAFs have either been repaints (Jimmy Hart, classic Vince) or something I have no interest in (toddler Dominik). |

This is the same problem I have with BAF and as someone said before the difference in eras Like the recent Jimmy hart set I only got yoko and considered earthquake but was never going to get Kai or Big E just to get Jimmy when I have the other elite |

I always like how the Jakks CSDA figures came with a ring skirt. If Mattel could settle on a standardized ring.

The build a figures are great, and I think it's a great incentive to buy all 4 figures. I'd love more Titles and soft goods shirts/robes etc. I don't feel like they've done a lot lately, in contrast to the very first few series of the Elite line, they've slowed down on them a lot to use rubber shirts.
If I'm being nostalgic, give us damn random accessories like Jakks. One's that make no sense but collectors would like and kids would love for playing with with their figures.

These are all solid suggestions, but for someone like me who only collects the occasional Hulkster figure, I’d love a variety of shirts and belts. Not the (IMO) horrible plastic shirts that are torn down the middle; rather, a couple of different HULKAMANIA shirts packed with one figure (one torn and one intact), and a belt.
I suggested once before how I’d like an accessory pack. Mattel could make a pretty penny selling those to collectors. For classic ‘80s and ‘90s Hogan alone, there are a bunch of different shirts (red Hulkamania, yellow Hulkamania, Hulk Rules, the “exploding” block letters Hulkamania, the one with the American flag, etc.).
Anyway, that’s what I’d like to see.

I agree with this, to an extent.
Personally, I think relevant stuff should come with each figure (entrance gear, for example) but I do think Mattel may be missing a trick by not putting out a decent "backstage" set or theming a series (as others have suggested, like playsets, where you'd build an interview set with a load of cameras and such).
