Bobby the Brain Heenan. Greatest manager of all time and he has one main line release that was a terrible figure in a weasel suit that no one wanted. There’s also a single release of Herman in one of the Fan Central waves. |

-First ever Triple Crown Winner -WWE Hall of Famer -Top 4 longest reigning WWE Champion -Top 3 longest reigning WWE IC Champion Mattel, give me a reason we dont have a Pedro Morales figure? Probably that they don’t have the rights to him. That simple. |

Short kickpad mold. That should only be used for a Kevin Sullivan figure and yet we get it for Rob Van Dam, Gargano and Hurricane.

Can you post a couple more shots of this Vince. I thought about getting the suited Baron Corbin to do the same, but the suit always looked too metallic in the promo pics I saw.  Thanks man. I went ahead and bought that Corbin, too. |

It’s probably a rights issue but kinda crazy there hasn’t been a Bad Bunny fig. Also A-Team Mr T in the Hollywood line considering it is a Universal property but maybe it was a more complicated licensing issue. A-team mr.t would have been a big hit. Considering the lack of a-team merchandise in general that license may be hard to put together. Better chance of super7 putting them out. |

-No duct tape KO
-No baby blue/pink New Day
-No Elite Hideo Itami even though he got a bunch of basics
- WCW Jericho
- Attitude Era Goldust (which ended up costing us a Marlena as well)
- New Gen/Attitude Era McMahon as announcer or suited
- Retail release AE Shane-o-Mac. The WM basic is decent and we have the KOR fig, but again odd he never got a main line release as a throwback
- Blake & Murphy. Every other featured NXT tag team of the era got fixures except them, but we got Alexa in the matching attire.
- Tons of AJ Styles color combos - never an Elite in red or purple
- More NXT Garganos

Hopefully some of these things can be cleaned up. We're starting to see some cracks show.

Took over 10 years to find a slot for a WrestleMania 14 Undertaker, who was highly requested for years. We heard "finding the right spot in the line"
That right spot was a $30 premium line and it came with two heads that were over 10 years past the era of the figure and the other looked like Michael Jackson and the hair on it only looks good if the robe is on.
Oh, and that same wave was the Kane elbow/mask debacle.

Still bummed we never got a Tyler Reks figure. Would have made a great looking figure.

I don't understand how we've only gotten 1 Michael Cole figure, a BAF in 2011, you'd think that we'd gotten at least a basic at some point, we're long overdue for a new one

Saying there's no spreadsheets when I can look at an old elite Cody and it's his same figure now minus the boots. Mattel has tights leg molds and refuses to use them most of the time. Cody, HBK, HHH - all painted legs. Just three examples
Is it wrong for me to assume the best practice would be to build the most accurate figure possible based off your parts inventory? Then if there is budget for new molds then create as needed?
I can make the perfect Mattel figures with all Mattel factory parts but I just have to buy two or more different figures. Maybe that's a good money making practice 🤔
They got me 💀

Anytime Mattel does exclusive business with Walmart trumps all other issues. Fact.

I think it was in the RSC video, but when Steve was talking about BAF Khali, he seemed to hint about other figures in that realm...I almost took it to mean Giant Gonzales.
