I'm sure it's probably already been said but stop spreading out big name figures. Hollywood Hogan and that e1 guy should have taught you this by now.
Also, go back to the old style designing instead of the recent more cartoony less realistic style.

I gotta say I hate when people request the most obscure 80s and 90s jobbers. Such as people wanting Adrian Adonis and other peculiar names. This is one thing that annoys me. Also, hybrid between elites and basics. Like elite legs, and basic torso, only costing $12.99, and this can scrap basics then. Adonis wasn't exactly SD Jones, so I'm not sure what jobbers people have been asking for. No one who was a star in the 1980s WWF even if it was for a short spell can truly be considered obscure. A guy like Adonis wrestled on network television in a primetime slot. That's serious exposure, more than most guys will ever have. Now bring on the adorable one!!! He'd shelfwarm without a doubt. No matter how relevant he was he will shelfwarm hard. Ask the average fan, and I guarantee you they won't know him.

That Mattel cancelled any and all plans for figures of Kevin Owens, Sasha Banks and Bayley.
Then I could watch these forums implode.

I'm torn on the issue. Mattel obviously wants to make money, so they have to consider the average Elite buyer when they plan these flashbacks. I will say, however, that Bruno is the only 70s/80s guy I've seen warm over the last couple of years. The flashback is, on average, one of the first figures of the latest Elite set gone from the shelves around here. So I don't think it's entirely accurate to say Mattel shouldn't make these guys just because you personally aren't familiar with them or have no real interest in wrestling pre-Attitude Era.
I would suspect most of the people wishing away the '80s flashback releases are relatively young (early 20s or younger), so to THEM, a lot of the second and third tier guys of previous eras do seem obscure. But that doesn't make them so. And that doesn't mean their output isn't worth re-visiting and appreciating. Sort of like it'd be silly to dismiss classic cinema or music just because it happened before your lifetime or prior to you forming your interest in the hobby.

Couldn't of said it better myself! Kind of makes me sad when people are talking trash about great wrestlers like Adrian Adonis, but then I realize that I'm on a figure forum and most here are young. The only flashbacks I have always found "warming" were JBL and Triple H from series 23 I'm torn on the issue.

A lot of people's customs look like garbage. Kudos to them for having the patience and desire to try, but I just don't like customs outside of just swapping parts. I think a lot of the ones I see on the internet look ROUGH. I'm just not a fan of painting figures. A lot of times the paint looks completely wrong for the figure (why is it shiny?!). This isn't a a troll wish, dude. You're just straight up bashing on people's work by calling it garbage. this

I see why people say this but do you realize we wont get as many divas because most divas cant really come with anything and no one is going to pay $20 for a single diva with nothing I could think of a lot of people who would buy a diva that comes with nothing, but the main reason Diva's don't come with anything in Elite series' is because they try to keep the production cost low so that other figures in that series can come with stuff, but if the Elite line was the main focus and no basic figures were produced, they would have more money to put stuff with all elite figures. which would cause the elites too cost more

I agree with this. They're usually the people that complain about mattel's poor work and that they have to "fix" mattel's mistakes, yet theirs look all drippy and awful.

I wouldn't mind if Mattel lost the rights to make WWE figures. A lot of you believe that Mattel WWE figures are amazing, but in reality they are ok at best. They aren't the best quality and they reuse molds all of the time and there isn't proper paint detail/shading on figures. It would be nice if someone like Diamond Select Toys got the rights to make WWE figures. Then we could actually get unique sculpts for each wrestler and have proper paint detail.
