Hillbilly jim should be a one and done. But I hate his figure. I really want a re-do on this figure. New sculpt particularly on the head and hair/beard. Maybe sculpted overalls instead of the soft goods. It's surprising hillbilly jim has only had one figure with mattel and at the start of the line. He would be good for retro and superstars lines too.

That's funny. I think Hillbilly Jim is another really solid one and done.
Hacksaw Jim Duggan is a figure that should be a one and done, but he hasn't gotten what I would consider a definitive figure yet.

Not sure id buy another Bob Orton after the recent Legends
Gorilla Monsoon as an announcer would be hard to beat
I don't think I'd buy another Rocky Johnson
Other than that I could see myself buying more of characters I only have 1 of.

One and done's that were damn near perfect, but I still want more: Superstar Billy Graham - in the green ty-dye tights, matching green ty-dye shirt, pink beret, and WWWF title (this would make a great UE figure). King Harley Race - damn near perfect. But needs a rerelease so a lot of people could get one, and an NWA version would be great. The Model Rick Martel - in hot pink, pale blue, suit and strike force w/ entrance jacket. Tito Santana - younger IC champion in blue trunks and Arriba! shirt, El Matador in Green, in Black, and in Gold. Legion of Doom - would like their WM7 attire with the silver trim. The gold attire would be great for the UE figures, but I think Mattel wouldn't get the gold right. Crush - I'm glad they went with Demolition Crush first, but we need multiples of Kona Crush and Evil Crush. Greg Valentine - could use an IC champion version in purple trunks, Dream Team version in all black or light blue, and R&B Hammer w/ entrance jacket and guitar. Bushwackers - missed out on the first release, a release in their grey tank tops would be nice. Rockers - way more attires needed: WrestleMania 6, Survivor Series 1991, Royal Rumble 1991 and WrestleMania 7 would all be nice. Akeem - great figure, don't need another Akeem, but a One Man Gang would be great. Bodyguard Virgil - need wrestler Virgil in boxing attire: WrestleMania 7 and Summer Slam 1991. Another Bodyguard would be great too.
One and done's that are perfect, don't need another one: Classy Freddie Blassie - this was a great figure, the head scan is perfect, so is the jacket and cane. The Goon - really good figure, the accessories are great. Chief Jay Strongbow - NEEDS TO BE RELEASED.
Figures with endless possibilities: Macho Man/King Ultimate Warrior Sting Bret Hitman Hart Ravishing Rick Rude Shawn Michaels Razor Ramon/Scott Hall Rockers Steiner Brothers

KUSHIDA - The elite we got was everything I could have ever hoped for and I'm so glad it's Mattel that has the license because nobody else could have done it right (due to licensing issues).
Alundra Blayze - Since it's the only one we're probably ever getting, it's just fine as a one-and-done. The attire is iconic enough, although I'm still not sold on the headsculpt.
Wendy Richter - Again, since it's probably the only one we're ever getting of her, it works. Even if they were to make another one, I don't think I'd need it unless it was from the Original Screwjob.
Ember Moon (NXT) - I don't think anything else they could have given us would have topped her NXT Takeover Elite. It's an epic figure.
Superstar Billy Graham - I don't own this one as I was never a fan of his but from an objective standpoint, it doesn't get much better than this.
The Goon - Probably one of the strongest cases for them looking at a character, deciding from the start to only ever make one, and then knocking it out of the park.
Rikishi - The only reason to make another is to simply re-release the E27 one again so newer collectors have a shot at it. Maybe TrueFX the head. Maybe. It's pretty much a perfect figure (from what I've seen online).
IRS - I think this one is pretty self explanatory.
Tugboat - See IRS
Scotty 2 Hotty - See Rikishi, although they're both incomplete without Grandmaster Sexay (which we will likely never get).
Dude Love - *Should* have been, but they really need to revisit him and get the attire right. Why they couldn't have given him the Goon treatment I have no idea, they had to know he was the only one they would ever make.
Viscera - This figure is awesome. True, the mobility is hindered by his attire, but then Big Vis wasn't very mobile anyway.
Also, I concur with the notion that Hacksaw should be a one-and-done but I don't feel they've gotten him quite right yet. The Legends 3 I feel is the closest but it still doesn't feel right. Maybe if they fixed the hair color, I dunno.
Mia Yim could have been a one-and-done awesome figure if they had made an Elite of her pre-Retribution. The headsculpt on her basic is just awful, and Reckoning's mask isn't removable. Really salty about that ish.
As far as upcoming figures that I'm gonna need a bunch of, Molly and Stacy come to mind. I want a bunch of both of them, there's so much potential there and I fear they're only gonna give us what we've seen. At the very least they MUST give us Invasion Stacy. Even if we never get Duchess of Dudleyville or Super Stacy, we must have Invasion Stacy. It's not a request, it's a demand. As for Molly, I could very much go for a "Prude" Molly and a Bald/Wig Molly as well. Although, again, I doubt we'll get either.

I think it helps to re-release the same outfits every once in a while.
A red Legion of Doom would be great to have done again, Along with Demolition, etc. not just because many people may have missed them, but because Mattel have improved their headscans aswell, and gotten better with figuring out how to do accessories and use of soft goods and such.. Although I reckon Hawk and Animal would be a great choice for an Ultimate Series.

i'd say most, if not all, of the figures released could benefit with a general QoL fixes like double jointed elbows, swappable hands, etc.
EDIT: also, not to doublepost, but I never understood why they chose to give Hillbilly Jim cloth overalls when at most he pulled down the straps(?) so new one would be much appreciated

The more the merrier. Sometimes elite, sometimes ultimate.. Hogan, yoko, bossman, kane, orton, cena, bulldog, etc. Double jointed elbows.. face print technology.. swappable hands..
And i initially was going to pass on the new ultimate hogan since they were all to similiar (red and yellow) but looking at the reviews, it looks like they somehow managed to improve quite a lot.
As for legion of doom, i'd like if they make another one with animal's face paint being a bit different. Replace the yellow with white or white and green.

I’d say The more the merrier. Some redos/rereleases.
I’d like to see a redo of DX IYH HBK with the blue tips on the X’s & a different head sculpt (WM14 head sculpt with a different hair piece & knee pads.
And a rerelease of HBK in his WM 14 attire.
