They did ONS figures and best of ECW a little while before the first WWE-ECW figures. They also did Best of WCW. And like my guy GR81J said… They were constantly giving us different guys. It didn’t matter if they were dead, alive, on really good drugs or in the naughty corner.

Raven
The Dudley Boys in the dye
Lance Storm
Justin Credible
The Sandman
Taz
Shane Douglas
Mike Awesome
Steve Corino
Jerry Lynn
I don’t care if it’s Mattel, ZST, Jazwares or hell even Powertown, I just want those guys.
And I’m going to push back on the notion “ECW hasn’t aged well”. Go back and watch 98-01. You’re going to see guys work matches that laid the groundwork for 90% of today’s wrestlers. People seem to have this notion that all of ECW’s appeal was barbwire, burning tables and a barely dressed women, when there was so much more to it.

Even if ECW didn’t age well, that has nothing to do with nostalgia. Go back and watch TMNT, GI Joe, Golden Age WWF, etc. and most of it is not as good as we remember it to be. But that doesn’t stop us from buying up all of the new toys of them they’re putting out today. We’re not buying Hogan and Warrior figs because we think they were good wrestlers who put on 5 star matches. We’re buying em cuz it takes us back to a certain period of time when we were younger and the memories we had of them then.

The lack of ECW figures would be more bearable if we had more RVD figures than we do

We just really need to start getting out some new characters because of all these re-releases are getting really old fast. DO BETTER MATTEL! |

Ok. You literally named every guy that stepped foot in an ECW ring for a match. Might as well have tossed Scott Hall in there. The OP said originals. Arguably some of those guys are “originals” but certainly not the majority that folks are looking for in figure form. Everybody there except Mass Transit worked multiple shows. Most were with the company for years, and more than half of them won championships while there. Just say you only know ECW from the McMahon produced documentaries and keep scrolling, ya wiener. Like Hayabusa, right? Multiple shows…. Nobody was even talking with you anyway, ya dope. And if you read the original post - it was centered around ECW ‘originals’ that would be figure-worthy. Not Jimmy Del Ray. But glad you know your history of former, now deceased, ECW wrestlers. Mama Pickle would be proud. |

Yeah do better, ignore the contract terms and just produce wrestlers your not allowed to produce 🤪 Mattel can only do who wwe have signed to a contract which enables figures. That’s very well documented |

Stop giving us lame excuses and let WWE know we want more Different times. We’re all well aware that WWE no longer lets their licensees go out and sign talent on their own. This has been the case for over a decade now. I’m sure most of the top stars of ECW have been on the list of talent they submit requesting WWE to sign to a Legends deal. It’s up to WWE to pursue them and the talent to want to sign. |

1. Some of ECW has aged badly, some of if it is just as spectacular as it was in the 1990s. Same goes for WWF and WCW stuff from the period.
2. Two things can be true. Yes, they're a ton of talent who had very notable runs in ECE and were integral to the promotion who have passed away, many of whom I would want figures of. However it's also true that the vast majority of wrestlers who would make up the key foundation many ECW collections are still with us and the list of them that currently don't have/won't have for the foreseeable future/some most likely never will have ECW-era Mattel figures is quite large (Taz, Sandman, Douglas, Raven, Dreamer, Dudleys, Corino, Storm, Sabu, Lynn, Rhino, BWO, etc.)
3. Even with that said, bring on ALL the ECW RVDs possible, please and thank you.

It didn’t matter if they were dead, alive, on really good drugs or in the naughty corner. Eh, I loved those Jakks sets but what Jakks did with the Best of WCW and ECW sets is no different than what Mattel does now: Take people they had access to that were contracted to WWE and do their WCW (Flair, Jericho, Mysterio, Benoit, Eddie, Kidman) or ECW (Dudleys, Rhino, RVD, Stevie, Mysterio) looks. The difference is there was a wider pool available to Jakks at the time because so many were still actively working with WWE. It would be the equivalent to if WWE had purchased ROH instead of AEW or if they were to purchase IMPACT today. |

What is with ignoring the fact that virtually all of the best ECW talent was prominently featured on WCW or WWF during the height of the Monday Night War? I mean seriously, Raven, Sandman, Franchise, Sabu, Jerry Lynn, Taz, the Dudleys, Rhino, Tajiri, Lance Storm, Mike Awesome, Al Snow, Dreamer, Credible, Saturn, we're talking about guys who won titles, worked Mania, and virtually every wrestling fan from the late 90s remembers. I get that Mattel isn't going to make Simon Diamond or Masato Tanaka just for me, but Mattel made the Goon and the Zodiac, and talking about a guy like Taz, who had one of the best debuts in the history of WWE, at its most popular time in company history, as some kind of niche performer that would rot the pegs? That's ridiculous.
