MATTEL Is doing a great job with the line. I hope they renew their contract with WWE when it expires.

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. if NECA took over I would quit collecting. 90% of the NECA I have gotten either broke coming out of the package or had really bad paint problems, for $20 somthing a figure THAT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. Mattel all the way. I have never had any issues with any of my NECA figures and I have quite a lot of them from collecting over the years. My recent being the Rocky figures. Granted they don't look as nice as the prototypes shown on the back of the package or SDCC but neither does any other companies product. In any instance Mattel and NECA are my 2 favorite figure companies with Hasbro coming in at a distant number 2.

Mattel would be my first choice. My second choice would be the makers of the classic tmnt figures. I think its playskool

Guess the real question is who do you think could really do better right now? Jakks, because Rey Mysterio and Kane really are the same height ;D TBH, if Marvel Toys did WWE figs like their early TNA lines it probably wouldn't be bad. Similar scale and articulation.

Mattel has done a great job to the point that I found most of my prior WWE collection to be obsolete.
Like any other toy mfg, they are not perfect. Not every scan/sculpt etc is spot-on, but I am very satisfied overall.

I voted no on Mattel. I became so disappointed with their figures, the prices and the distribution issues that I had no other choice but to start collecting 100% of the TNA line. Sure, I buy Mattel occasionally, since I'm not going to have a complete Cody Rhodes collection otherwise, but overall, I'm not impressed.

I'm torn on this one. I'm disappointed that Mattel ruined their own legends line with a cascade of poor decisions, including an over-saturating distribution. But I love the figures I have. I want Mattel to keep going because I want about 12 more specific guys to truly feel like my collection is complete, but I don't really want to drag this on for another five years either.
If they lose their contract I'll always feel bitter about the way it began and the misses they made (Sarge, Snuka, LOD). If the line continues and they eventually rectify some of their mistakes and eventually sign and produce Sting, Flair, Hogan, Goldberg, Hall, Steiners, etc, then I can die a happy collector. But I'd rather just end it now if all we'll ever get is Brutus the Barber, Tito Santana, Savio Vega (no disrespect), and repaints of HBK, Undertaker, Macho Man and Warrior.

Can't fault them at all, the product is excellent. Please stay on Mattel.

Mattel would be my first choice. My second choice would be the makers of the classic tmnt figures. I think its playskool Playmates? They made that Lucha line a few years ago. Their figures were near copies of DA in style and size. I liked them but not as much as Mattel.

I think Mattel has done a great job so far, so honest Mattel is the way to go. I just wish Mattel could of had the WWE license around 2003, now that would of been awesome.

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. What he said. I had told my best friend (who got me started collecting) that I was done when the line changed. Mattel changed my mind.

i love mattel. best figures to date. im frustrated they seem to have stopped pushing the limits of their own success though. there hasnt been any attempts at double jointed elbows, digging their heels in the pathetic basic ring, and some quality control//distribution issues.
ultimately i prefer 3.75" scale figs and would love to see what a hasbro team filled with gi joe guys could do with the wwe. that would be epic

Bring back Jakks. The Mattels have such a cheap look and feel to them. I had a huge collection of Jakks and even though some of their figures outright sucked. Mattel have failed to make a figure even 1% as good as Jakks best figures. I only have around 9 mattel figures.

Ive collected wrestling figures since Hasbro/Galoob era...While those have a special place to me because they were my "firsts" there's no doubt that Mattel is making the very best Wrestling figures ever!
