I’m predicting Xavier from when he dressed up as Gobbledy Gooker

Per a certain German Site WWE MATTEL ELITE SERIES 112 Seth Rollins, JD McDonagh, Bray Wyatt, Becky Lynch, Xavier Woods and Channing Stacks Lorenzo WWE Mattel Basic Series/Main Event 150 CM Punk, Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, Lita and Rey Mysterio WWE Mattel Basic Best of Series Gunther, Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes and John Cena There are many talent that have never had their first figure and many that need to be updated so isn’t time to start releasing them. It’s better to have more of a variety of talent available. It's better to have figures that sell than first timers that won't. I've seen enough Jazwares pegs filled to the brim to know this. |

Who's asking for another Xavier woods elite? Seth is in the lineup 3 series prior. Isn't this what having top picks line supposed to do? Idk maybe stop having Roman, Rey, Cody, the rock circle jerking the top picks line 🤷 You mean the series retailers requested so *top* stars would always be readily available for purchase should have less *top* stars in it? Kinda weird to keep calling it *Top* Picks then, maybe they could change it to just "Picks". |

I think Mattel usually strikes a pretty good balance where you'll get 1-2 new or lower card talent in a normal Elite or basic Main Event wave. You don't get anything too narrowcasted, like Jazwares just putting a full midcard stable in a wave or something. |

Surely we're in need of a '01 Triple H by now right? A proper '01 Taker and Angle too. On a related topic, how about an Invasion era Stephanie? A smirking or mean-looking headscan would capture her character best IMO. Or Mattel could perhaps rework the Milkomania "drenched" head into a regular Stephanie head, hard to tell but it looks a great likeness to me. Just totally don't get why that year and era is so cold. Like surely a heel Austin is an easy elite release too?? |

And it still managed to work out worse than anyone could have guessed! They had to cut the LJN Darby for production issues! |

Smyths UK just listed the Target exclusive Hulkamania Elite 3-pack, on their website. Hopefully this is the start of more exclusive sets becoming available.

My detolf door shattered into a million pieces this morning while I was sleeping. Luckily, it was my empty one, and my cat wasn't hurt, but holy crapwhat an awful way to start the day. I've had it since 2020. I have no idea why it happened now; haven't even touched it in several months. I have 4 others from roughly the same time period, so now I'm paranoid about it happening again. :/

It's really surprising to see Mattel not releasing an Imperium-3-Pack in Elite form. I've said it several times before, with the upcoming European PLEs and popularity clearly on the rise again, Mattel is missing a huge opportunity here. There used to be at least some basic 3-packs, I'd be happy with even that. It's not like Gunther and Kaiser are warming the stores.

Mattel make special packs for historical moments in wrestling. Not just random factions. |

I'm not sure if you even follow WWE, because if you did you would know that Gunther is the longest reigning IC champ. For all German speaking countries, he's probably the greatest champion of all time. Also, I had written that it would make sense marketing-wise, as there are several PLEs coming up in Europe. Vinci and Kaiser should have been announced in the Elite Lines a long time ago. The reunion at Clash of the Castle would have been a fitting moment. I would argue that the LWO multipack should never have been produced now in your view. |

Gunther has had his reign, but Imperium have done squat on the main roster. Maybe if something monumental happens with them at Backlash (doubtful), we could see a pack commemorating it. The point is that Mattel go after special moments. Not putting out factions for the sake of it. |
