Just thought it would be fun to see a list of the top 25 wrestlers from the Golden Era, New Gen Era and Attitude Era that have not had a Mattel figure yet. I'm still working on the numbers for the RA and PG Era. I defined the Golden Era by basically 1992 and earlier. The New Gen as 1993-1997, and the Attitude Era as 1998-2002. It's not perfect obviously but still close enough. I sorted them by PPV appearances. Here are the biggest names missing from each era in terms of Mattel figures made of them:

Just thought it was interesting to look at. I want to do WCW as well. I'm not sure what the point of sharing it is other than it was just fun to put together and I want to do something with it so do what you want with it lol. To be clear, this is not a ranking in terms of opinion. This is strictly by most PPV appearances without a figure
