Where is my WrestleMania X7 Edge, Bill?!!!  RVD was the very first person that came to mind as under utilized. Guy has countless amazing singlets. How he's not been slotted for an Ultimate yet is pretty wild. Hopefully that's coming. |

I'm surprised there are still major gaps in both Edge and Eddie Guerrero's careers given that both have been available straight through the run of the line IIRC. Also, given his overall popularity, general toyeticness, and Bill's penchant for NXT, I'm surprised we only got 2 elites of Gargano in his Marvel attires. ECW Eddie is a big surprise considering how much of a demand there is for ECW figures combined with Bill’s love of patriotic attire. |

As a Mick Foley collector I have to say Mick has less than I'd expect. No basic Cactus Jack or Dude Love, elite Manknd has always had the same basic articulation and that was never fixed/updated, and not a single UE when other Attitude Era guys are getting doubles and triples already. Also, Santa Mick seems like an easy Ringside December exlusive.

I’m disappointed that the TRU mailaway Vince never got a rerelease.

Sting. When he signed his Legends deal he should have been pumped out like Rey Mysterio or even a greater pace than Rey. I 100% meant this in the past (and still today) when I said/say They should have put Sting in every wave of Elites, Basics and Battle packs they released while they had his rights. I feel even in every wave they would have sold. He had so many colorful attires and cool face paints that they should have released. I feel like they dropped the ball on Sting. Same. You already know how I feel. I feel like Sting is the MOST UNREPRESENTED wrestler in figure form of all time as a main eventer. Prior to Mattel we didn't have him in a mainstream line for years (we couldn't get '97 crow etc). I wasn't a fan of his TNA figures, they just looked odd. Then we finally get a few from Mattel and they were all over the place with scale, proportions, inaccuracies etc. Not only that, but Sting was one of the most popular wrestlers of all time and defined a HUGE era for WCW. We should of gotten a ton of more looks '96 Nitro surfer, '98 elite, '99 with mid length hair, '99 with white boots, leather pants/sleeves '99 Sting, 2000 (feud with Vampiro), final Nitro etc. |

I always hoped we'd get at least ONE MORE Tye Dillinger Elite. Preferably his Royal Rumble debut red, with soft goods "Perfect 10" shirt.

I still think it's off to say that Sting was underrepresented. Now, one can definitely argue that his figured had a lot of issues that likely makes Sting's Mattel somewhat disappointing, but purely numbers representation-wise (not counting stuff like monsters or talkers or etc.) he had off the top of my head:
Elites:
-3 Surfer Sting Flashbacks
-2 WCW Crow Sting Flashbacks
-2 WWE Modern Crow Stings
Basics:
-4 Surfer Sting Flashbacks
-2 WCW Crow Sting Flashbacks
-2 WWE Modern Crow Stings
Overall:
-7 Surfer Sting Flashbacks
-4 WCW Crow Sting Flashbacks
-4 WWE Modern Crow Stings
That's all in the 5-year period between 2015 to 2019, and not counting the Legends figure that had to be scrapped last minute. Again, they could have been better, but that's a ton of figures for a legend who was only on the show currently in part-time role for the first year of his deal.

I know they were only under contract for a year but Dudleyz seem like the figures Mattel really dropped the ball on the most. We only got 1 pair of elites and 1 basic and both were their modern look.

How many different Bianca Belair figures did Mattel Make

There is kind of an obscene number of Nikki Bella figures that are barely distinguishable from each other, with more on the way if the Royal Rumble Brie is any indication.

I get that he’s a big name and sells well, but the excess of Rey Mysterios across multiple lines is insane.

Ziggler getting the shaft is what always comes to mind. For a guy thats has as many colorful and unique attires as he's had over the last decade, to think he's only had about 7 elites over 12 years of distribution and something like 150 mainline and subseries is kinda nuts.
As far as who we've had too many of, I feel like New Day fits the bill. I can't recall the last time they were remotely relevant as a team yet it feels like they're in every 4th-5th series or so.

I always figured they would’ve made more Austin’s in street clothes or at least have made lots of SG shirt of Austin 3:16 in red.
Blue/black jeans, blue/black jean shorts, the many different Austin shirts that can be altered to be PG friendly.
Rey has too many figs. He has lots of cool attires to pick from, but damn do he have a lot of figures.

Which Edge and Eddie figures would you like to see? I do agree btw |

I'm very surprised Charlotte has only had two elites only one of which came with a robe. She's had tons of basics but those seem worthless considering she's known for having many different robes. Also surprised she didn't get a figure when she updated her look with the different style robes. Another is Tamina, she's been with the company pretty much the whole time Mattel has had the license you'd figure she'd have at least one elite. On the flip side I think Rey has too many figures in relation to other talent and Undertaker also has had too many figures that look too similar to each other.

The road warriors should have had more. LOD 2000 was an easy one, the summerslam gold spike attire too. A re-release of the legends set made sense.
I'm genuinely shocked that Kane had as many figures as he did.
