Orange is an expensive color ink. Had to keep to budget. |

Wish the new Sid Justice was an elite, they’ve already done a basic for him.

Do you realize how much deco went into this attire? They had to cut cost somewhere. Who’s going to actually have this figure on a shelf without all the gear on, which means the chest hair and tattoo would never be seen |

If Mattel can't afford to add tattoos and chest hair then they shouldn't be making that attire.

need a modern nia from her current run & lash legend too would also love a GM ava figure I mean technically the heads never changed. I would say we are getting an updated Queen Nia by May of 2025 Lash has not been featured recently, if anyone from NXT gets figures. Fallon, Jaida, Kiani, Roxanne, Wendy, Tatum and maybe Ava as a build a figure, but i cant remember if they ever did a female build a figure The concept of Ava as a build a figure makes me think again that, especially if WWE has decided that NXT is a fully television-and-touring worthy brand (debatable), then it might be an interesting point to give NXT a special release line again. Like, not make it a regular thing, but put out maybe two waves a year of NXT exclusive figures, and then include a BAF William Regal and Ava would be easy picks for BAF's right off the bat and both would be easy ways to get people to buy an entire wave of NXT figures. Put it on Ringside and let it include NXT talent that probably wouldn't end up as main line Elites like Wendy and Chase U, and if you wanted, you could anchor the wave with main roster talent in NXT attire. They refuse to give us a main roster Duct Tape KO Elite, give it to us in the NXT version. I think it would sell. |

It's the same reason UE Cody's coat has no wings. They're giving us reasonable approximations of really complex attires, but budget has to be cut somewhere to pay for it. That said, not sure how much money neglecting a back tattoo and chest hair would save Mattel, but I get the impression that, just like before, Mattel 'plans' for a winner in these Fan Takeover polls, and then goes into panic mode when the 'wrong one' wins. There's entirely a chance they assumed people wouldn't want the Elton John gear for whatever reasons, but when it won, they were faced with a situation that now they actually had to make it WORK. (And remember, them doing this is literally something we know has happened before with the Camo Cole fiasco. Mattel does go into these things for some insane reason, with an assumption of who will win, which in the case of Camo Cole, we almost didn't get that set completed because their assumption was proven WRONG.) |

Wish the new Sid Justice was an elite, they’ve already done a basic for him. But they haven’t done a Main Event. And while an elite would be cool it would be a very plain figure. He didn’t win any titles. He didn’t have entrance attire. I guess they could pack him with a shirt even tho he never wore it like they do Andre. Maybe he could be a BAF in the Rumble line. |

True the attire was simple, but every wave needs a low deco figure to help with other figures who have a lot of deco. This figure could have been put in a legends wave and included multiple heads - one with a normal, expressionless face scan, and another one with a screaming or angry face scan. He could also be the figure in the wave with a chase, his SNME attire (red trunks) from when he turned on Hogan would work. And like you said, they could always include his Sid Justice shirt. |

They shoulda did what they did with Luger with the upcoming Sycho fig and make a chase blue trunks and include an extra Justice head. Maybe scrap the winged eagle in favor of the extra head. That head on black trunks would also work for WM8. |

That head on black trunks would also work for WM8. Yeah, that could have worked. Or they could have done the baby blue trunks as the regular figure and the red trunks as the chase for the legends elite line and made the all black attire as an Ultimate Edition figure. If they were ever going to do a UE Sycho Sid, the all black attire they did for the upcoming legends figure would have been the ideal choice. For that, they could have included the vest, WWF title, multiple heads and if needed, the WCW big gold belt he won in 1999 or 2000. He had the same look for both reigns. |

It’s wild to me. In a few months RAW with be on Netflix. They could say  on RAW. But a toy can’t have “DRUG FREE” on the knuckles, even though there were plenty of figures that did before. |

If you are talking about the DM Punk: the DRUG FREE tattoos are still on the fist hands, just not the open ones for some reason. |

I get the frustrations with Punk but the guy debuted at the very end of November and people have a brand new elite of him in one of his most iconic moments. To have a 9.5 month turnaround time you have to think some corners had to be cut. I think the figure looks great considering.

Who does the QA/QC check? With the pricing of these "highly detailed and authentic ring attire" figures you'd think there'd be a little more consistency and accuracy.
Mattel doesn't respond well to criticism, though. But that's not my problem.
