Hypothetically speaking, if we were able to vote on whether or not the WWE keeps Mattel around, what would be your vote? This should be interesting.

Mattel has done a great job. Only real complaints are distribution and price.

Keep 'em. Though lately quality and price have been an issue. However, I'm sure its just the holiday rush. I can forgive them.

Nobody has ever done it better. I have some issues with them but overall they've done an outstanding job. I'd keep em for sure. Guess the real question is who do you think could really do better right now?

Quality is going down and price is going up....but it's still the best wrestling figures we are going to get or have ever had, so it is what it is.
I just feel robbed when I spend $21.99 for a Best of PPV Elite from TRU, inspect it in the store to make sure it looks perfect, get it home and open it up and look at the back of the figure and it's covered in scratches, paint smears, random black smudges, and other defects.....

Mattel are pretty much the kings of 6" figures, anyone else doing WWE now would be a serious drop in quality, I'd stop collecting.

In a weird way I'd like to see NECA take a shot at WWE. What can I say, I love their figures.
Then Mattel can pick up the TNA license so this way I can finally get a Hogan and a Sting in my collection.

Keep them, no doubt. I honestly don't think there's a toy company out there that could do a better job.

Another change and I'd just stop collecting.

NECA don't pump out any 6" figures on the wrestling figure kind of schedule, do they?

I love Mattel. I was convinced I wasn't starting all over after Jakks was done. But I picked up a few from Series 1 and was quickly won over. Then the flood gates opened. NECA don't pump out any 6" figures on the wrestling figure kind of schedule, do they? That's the only problem I'd have with Neca doing it. They would look great, but I'd hate to wait 3-4 months in between series.

Mattel has been incredible except for the price. But then again, I see this with everything, not just wrestling figures. Everything is going up. The dollar just isn't worth as much as it used to be.
I also keep hearing everyone complaining about distribution....I've yet to have this problem. I live in the middle of no where (Valley City, ND....Google it). Less than 7,000 people and no Wal-Mart. But, I've been able to find every series at retail. I make a weekly trip to either Fargo or Jamestown (60 miles and 30 miles respectfully). Some sets take a little longer to get here, but eventually we do get them. I see some people are finding series 25 retail. I just found series 23. No biggie though because I know we are always a few sets behind. So, if you don't mind waiting, everything eventually comes our way. Distribution is certainly not a huge problem for me.

Mattel all the way.

Mattel has gone above and beyond my expectations of Wrestling Figures. With the last company, the variety was great. I liked that the rosters were almost all made in action figure form and that there was a wide variety of Classic Guys. But, I feel that Mattel's quality and attention to detail is more important. Want more characters in the line? I say, sign on with Mattel for another 5 years, and they will not disappoint at all!
