Surfer Sting
Kurt Angle
APA/Acolytes
Dudleys
Rhyno
Trish Stratus
Razor Ramon/Scott Hall (build…ultimate didn’t solve this issue)
M$M
Alundra Blaze/Medusa
Jim Neidhart
Mr Perfect
British Bulldog
Yokozuna and Umaga due to scale issues
Roddy Piper (although that’s on the cusp of changing)
Many are still under contract so it’s all subject to change.
There’s actually more but I think the points been made unless someone wanted me to go through the full collection.
There’s reasons for each but most come down to poor figures I.e sculpts or scale issues.
But MDT have proven they can go from struggling to get a wrestler right to revisiting them and knocking it out of the park so there’s plenty of hope.

They have still never nailed Bret Hart, Hall/Razor, or Lex Luger. There have only been about 2 good Andre heads as well. Each guy listed has had improvements made but they never quite nailed them in my opinion. The Nitro Stage Crowdfund We all wanted to say it This. Also, it should have been the Raw is War stage. I have heard all of the back and forth about how the Raw stage was boring, would be massive, could cost more, etc. But you know what? It would have been funded. That is where your fans are at. Nitro was more niche with today’s collectors and that was too high of a price point with underwhelming offerings. Instead it felt like Mattel wanted to either A) Do what THEY wanted to do or B) Made a strategic error by thinking collectors would be pressured into buying the Nitro stage in the hopes of getting the Raw stage next. It was pretty much double-dipping and now nobody wins. |

Mattel knew the Raw is War stage would sell, but they said "Hey, let's do the Nitro stage first and tell collectors the Raw stage is next if this gets funded. Win-win for us". It totally backfired and they shot themselves in the foot. |

To me it’s Mr. Perfect. If anyone ever need a dedicated torso mold just to him it’s that guy. And they need to be way more tan

Honestly, I think it *probably* gets the 5,000, but even that would have been close IMO. |

Everybody mentioned I agree with, also Punk and Jericho to an extent. They have more attires and looks that could’ve been done. Dudley’s the most for me personally, no flashback is crazy This would be my choice as well. Should have had as many figs as Warrior and Savage. |

So they tested the waters with Nitro and it failed so they wont take the risk on the RAW more than likely. |

Sting (both Surfer and Crow)
Piper (But we’re about to get good Piper figures)
Kurt (Again I think we’re about to get a good one)

Jimmy Uso. One of the top stars in WWE, and we haven’t had a figure of him since pre-pandemic, apart from those weird Jey-head hybrid nonsense ones.

Not to mention, you'd have the same international issues as the Nitro stage had. |

Not to mention, you'd have the same international issues as the Nitro stage had. $600 + based on what? If it was a blank screen, I can’t see it being more. It would involve less lighting as well. I think the price would be a bit of a wash for materials but could be higher due to packaging and shipping. Not to mention people would be more interested in some of the exclusives. Even if it was something boring like Rock, Austin, HHH, Undertaker, and Foley…I think the fanbase is there for each to get it funded more than Mysterio, Steiner, and DDP. It’s somewhat amazing that Hogan and Warrior couldn’t get the job done. It’s a shame Vince is such a creep as he would be perfect for an exclusive. Maybe they can get away with a Shane figure that would be easy to customize. |

SO yeah doubt its happening. |

SO yeah doubt its happening. Im aware. $200 more though? That seems like a jump. Also, they would possibly look at ways to make it less expensive given what they learned from the Nitro arena. It may not happen next but I think there is a fair chance we see it. |
