Yep, I have that one and I love it. I meant them as a duo though; hard to call it "Team Xtreme" without a matching Matt! (Let alone a Lita to go with 'em!) Hardys. I can't believe we never got Team Extreme versions in Elite form while they were under contract. I think the only old-school version we got was the "New Brood" 2-pack. They made a Team Xtreme Jeff Hardy. He was in the 2-pack with Triple H. |

He was in the 2-pack with Triple H. there is a way to make it but pricey getting the figures, Kyle Peterson used the brood hardys pack and exchanged the head for Summerslam Matt |

Sting - I don’t forgive you Mattel. So many bright and colorful figures we could have had…
Bret Hart - I don’t think think they know what he looks like.
Crush - Why only one? You could say the same for Rick Martel.
Snuka - (I know but they had time to get it in) I always found it strange they made the one with boots.
Vince - Shouldn’t we have gotten a few more?

Based on no longer under Legends Deal. Those currently under deal still have the opportunity of being released.
- Attitude Era Dudley Boyz
- WCW Jericho(s) 100% missed opportunity
- 1995-1998 Commentators (Vince and JR *Lawler is being made)
- Dean Malenko
- L.O.D. 2000 (assuming they are no longer under a Legends deal, it's been years though)
- Team X-treme 2 Pack Hardy Boyz (maybe 3 pack with Lita)

We only got like 3 Sasha Banks elites in her in entire run We got 4 Sasha elites which is more than Charlotte and Bayley got but I will agree with you on Sasha cause they never got her face right. She looks fine with the glasses on but once they are off looks nothing like her. Becky they also dropped the ball on her likeness a lot. Her earlier elites were comically bad and even her most recent look nothing like her. |

Two that stand out are Big Show and Mark Henry. They’ve been with the company ever since the very beginning of the Mattel line up until recently but there are so many looks that weren’t done.
Big Show:
WCW/nWo Giant with the singlet strap over the right shoulder
Debut Paul Wight
Trunks and braided ponytail to complete Unholy Alliance
2002 nWo
Late 2002 WWE Champion (black pants and handlebar stache)
Henry:
Hershey Kiss Sexual Chocolate
USA Debut
ECW Champion

Also still don’t know how we never got a Blade Runners or Freedom Fighters battle pack while Sting was signed.

Strongly agree with Jericho, specifically not getting a single WCW era version, and Crush. I won't go on my usual Crush tirade but JFC. Kona, Evil, Nation, NWO, Kronik, make any other version of him.
I agree with Sting but I do think he got a good amount of figures. They just picked the wrong attires or made mistakes on the ones they did give us. I do think the DM figures are both good, and his Network Spotlight figure is my favorite Basic of the entire line. If we never got another Sting ever again from Mattel it would be disappointing, but I'd still be content with what was made.
Not having ECW or Invasion attires for Dudleyz, Rhino, and Dreamer sucks. I can't imagine those circle back around, definitely not any time soon.
Also agree on not getting 97/98 Vince and War Tony JR. I have to imagine Mattel is going to stay away from making Vince right now.

Yeah we should’ve gotten more JR for sure. We still need a new Michael Cole

Guys early on I kinda get. Snuka, Martel, OMG, Crush, etc because Legends was a failure and there were very limited spots for old school guys after that. Then Mattel lost the ability to sign talent on their own so when those deals expired they lost em for good. So I wouldn’t necessarily say they dropped the ball but there just wasn’t a market to mass produce a whole series of legends at the time and no longer had access to them when there was.

Sting. Every time this topic is mentioned I have said with all his bright attires there should/could have been a Sting released in every Elite, basic & BP wave they released. And they all would have sold. Sting 100% |

It feels like there was a cooling off period for potential Charlotte Elites after the E54 release and everything surrounding that. But the Ultimate seems like it was well-received, so I wouldn't be shocked to see her get Elites more regularly in the future.
Ultimate Bayley feels like a when, not if, especially since we know Sasha was planned for one. I think we've got 4 Elites of her, though: Takeover 1, TRU Network Spotlight, Elite 80, and the 2021 Survivor Series set.

Hogan. I've had to fix so many of his figs to have an appropriate torso/tan, it's not even funny.

You're right I totally forgot about Bayleys Takeover Elite. |
