This is objectively false. Very few wrestlers ever transcend the business and make their way into the zeitgeist of pop culture but Warrior is one of them. Main evented Wrestlemania and handed hogan his first real clean loss and had a year long run with the WWF title during a time when it meant something. He’s not too 10. Maybe not too 20. But definitely top 30. Warrior is absolutely in the top 10. He is one of the foundation pieces. His attitude/mistakes aside, he ignited the wwf and helped take it to a whole new level. As far as relevancy goes he is well up there. Also - he tied the rockers up with sticky tape during their survivor series interview, so if you add this fact,he goes up 5 places right there.  I’ll admit defeat on the top 30 arguments, but top 10 is an absolutely ridiculous statement. |

Feel the power of the ultimate warrior Man has no power. No one under 30 that isn’t a wrestling fan has ever heard the man. Sure he moves merch but it’s only the people that were watching him in the 90s. Man has no cross over appeal anymore and hasn’t for nearly 30 years. Ultimate Bozo. And on topic most his looks are already made. The could lose the rights and it wouldn’t make a huge difference. |

Warrior isn’t even in like the top 30 names in the companies history. lol Biggest stars in WWF/E history in chronological order Bruno Sammartino Andre the Giant Hulk Hogan Rowdy Roddy Piper Macho Man Randy Savage Ultimate Warrior Bret Hart Undertaker Stone Cold The Rock HHH John Cena Batista Brock Lesnar He's definitely top 15 at the very least. |

Lol nobody under 30 has heard of the ultimate warrior? If thats the case they shouldnt really call themselves a fan. Why you so bitter against the ultimate warrior? Face all scrunched up and angry. Kids these days. So jealous of the ultimate warrior being in the top 10. EVER |

I would most definitely say Warrior is easily in the top 10 both in WWE’s history and in the wrestlers that even non-fans know. He stayed within the top three spots in the WWF during the Hulkamania era, which is nothing to be sneezed at. |

Going off of the number of products available on WWESHOP, Warrior is 5th (6th if you count nWo merchandise). Obviously, this doesn't mean that he is exactly 5th for Legends merchandise sales but I would imagine that he is def in the top 10. If he didn't sell and still wasn't popular today, they wouldn't create/sell so many products.
I think people are underestimating the power of the WWE network/media sites - it's really easy for the younger generation to be exposed to wrestling of the past. In addition, his return to the company/HOF/WM/Raw was made a big deal and then his passing made headline news so obviously people under 30 have heard of him.

For me it'd have to be someone that pretty much looked the same their whole career. Saw someone above say Taker - my knock on that is how many times Mattel has jacked his likeness and how many looks need to be redone (Summerslam 2000 & Summerslam 2001 for starters). R-Truth is a guy I could see not needing many more figures. His knockoff Judgment Day stick currently could be fun but literally his whole career as K-Kwik or R-Truth he's practically had the same attire. I dont know how many more Big Bossman attires you could do (maybe the '98 return with face mask?) Id say Ken Shamrock but Mattel needs to take another crack at his red (not pink) trunks. Can't really think of too many Brock attires missing (personally id buy a 2002/2003 white track pants and shirt elite release but we've pretty much gotten everything else in his career) Yeah every wrestler during the pandemic with the wuha-nmask. Make sure to doublemask them during the omicron days. Jk No seriously mattel |

problem is they have to "redo" anyone they can. they dont have enough talent to make to fill gaps or lines. Thats why we most of us get fatigued seeing the same characters being released over and over again regardless of attire/look. sadly there isnt anyway around it, and i stopped buying anyone released for a 15th time.. i have way too many Macho Mans, Warriors, Hogans, HBK, Taker, etc.etc.. lol...not doing it anymore. I have found that only a small amount of macho mans are a good likeness of him. He is usually too tall or has a head to small for it and his likeness is just off. Curious which figure you think is his best likeness. |

I’m thinking we may get an elite Gooker with the plain costume and maybe a Xavier, Maryse, or Uso head. Maybe a retro and/or Superstars too. That being said, I doubt we’ll ever get another Hector Guerrero.

I'd say Stone Cold and The Rock. Stone Cold pretty much gets the same vest released and The Rock has pretty much all but his green brahma bull to get released.
Brock Lesnar too. Black trunks and shorts are pretty much the same. Unless they re-release his black and red shorts attire again.

They would never do this one today but Brock in a sombrero would be a fun figure. They’ve only done his tailbone trunks in elite/UE. His WMXX and debut trunks probably should be done in elite. If we’re talking just Stone Cold and none of his other personas then Bang 3:16 full camo probably needs to be made (doubt they’ll do the gun). He’s got a lot of t-shirts that need to be released starting with snake arms WM15. Suited Stone Cold post WM14. A Kurt, Vince, and Austin 3 pack with a guitar, cowboy hats, a kid cowboy hat would be an ideal box set. |

Pretty much the only guy I can think of who is truly done is Big Bossman. Short of releasing updated articulation stuff, there isn't really much else to do with him.
Outside of that, you definitely can't say The Rock is done now, not with his return. They are gonna make a whole slew of new figures from this stuff.
Austin, as far as Stone Cold goes, there are still looks to be made. That two man power trip figure could easily be made an elite. I don't recall if we've ever had Heel Stone Cold in the red and black gear but that would be another. I can't remember if I saw it was being done of not but Beer Bath Stone Cold needs a redo/rerelease. And overall the number of jorts Austin figures, for a guy who wore jorts a lot, is pretty low. And that's just SCSA, not counting other promotions looks.
There are a ton of figures yet to be made and I think that it's hard to say anyone is quite done. After all, we're getting a Sultan figure.

There was an RSC exclusive Stone Cold with the red vest that's over a decade old at this point. I don't know if any other ones have been made, it's well overdue for another. |
