I agree with that 2001 era. I'd say 2000-2002 is pretty underrepresented. Maybe some of that has to do with the fact that a lot of Jakks collectors have tons of toys from that era and there wasn't a high demand or nostalgia for it yet? Either way I do agree
The other era I would mention is the early New Gen time period. I'd say like 1994. Owen Hart, Jeff Jarrett, Kwang, Adam Bomb, Smoking Gunns, Crush, Tom Prichard, Duke the Dumpster, Quebecers, Sparky Plugg, Heavenly Bodies, Mo, Luna, Bastion Booger, Steiner Brothers (hopefully soon), Bull Nakano etc. But at the same time I kind of understand it because outside of Owen and Jeff who they can't do, that era does pretty much suck

Backlund era 80s to about '84 could use more love....Putski,Murdoch & Adonis, Atlas, Albano, Pedro, Ventura & Fuji (as active wrestlers) Patera, Masked Superstar, Schultz. Also Kung-fu Graham, heel Muraco, Santana (IC singles).

WCW 1995-2001, particularly "First Time In The Line" and "Deep Dive" names

Despite Walmart's recent RA sets, I still think RA era is still under-represented. Specifically, I feel 2005, 2006, and 2007 still lack. We already got some of those wrestlers from that period in other and/or better attires. Namely Steve Austin and Undertaker. Those figures are stinking up every Walmart near me. $20 wrestling figures in street attire do not sell well in my experience. |

WCW in general, outside of the NWO, feels woefully lacking. We've gotten, or are getting, just about every possible NWO person we could short of Liz and Rodman. But outside of the NWO, or people's looks from outside the NWO, it just feels so empty.
The RA era as a whole. I agree, even with the Walmart series (which was too hard to find anyway), there's still so much stuff missing here.
2001-2003 WWE. That gap between the Attitude Era and The Ruthless Aggression Era where so many new people entered the company from ECW/WCW/OVW/Wherever. Outside of a couple people here or there, this whole span of time just feels like it's missing.

The late 70’s (‘75 - ‘79) Bob Backlund Pedro Morales The Executioners (Studd & Kowalski) Bruiser Brody Ivan Koloff Ivan Putski Blackjack Mulligan Blackjack Lanza SD Jones Johnny Rodz Grand Wizard Captain Lou Albano Mikel Scicluna Luscious Johnny Valiant Gorilla Monsoon Just to name a few I wasn't around for the 70s but I ache for some of those big names. Backlund, Morales, Stasiak, Koloff...knowing how little detail it takes for those, they're erdect to put in heavy deco sets to help fill other needs. |

Anyone trying to put together a decent WCW Cruiserweight shelf is fighting an uphill battle.

I still want a Juventud, Ultimo Dragon, Psychosis, Kidman, Crowbar, Tajiri, Kid Kash and even a Nunzio for cruiserweights.

That was post-wrestling Austin and that Undertaker was just a terrible figure IMO. Most of the RA figures were extremely difficult to find for most folks. Only ones I remember seeing were Hollywood Rock and maybe RA1 Batista here or there. |

The answer also depends on if someone means overall representation of looks from a specific year or overall representation of a roster form a given year. Like, we probably have more figures representing 1998, but with a lot of repeats whereas there's probably more roster representation of 1994 even f there's less figures overall.

Could do with another ABA Undertaker, William Regal (if he’s under a deal) give us a WM 17 Vince too. I was hoping that two pack with Jeff Hardy from their RAW ladder match would be in elite form but either way those attires would be great in elite. Taker more importantly since he's still under contract. |

The speed with which that 2-man power trip set sold out on Ringside should prove that if you make the right figures, for the right price, people would buy them even in street clothes. |
