Why don't we have these

[Retroplex]

Elites of the War Raiders viking raiders whatever . That is all
There's no reason why
Heavy Machinery shouldve gotten figures before them. I mean come on they've been on TV longer and have been actual tag team champions.

Plus they would sell like hot cakes

[slappy]

Why has it taken so long to get Mike Kanellis? Now we aren't getting Maria.

Why so few Baron Corbins?

Why no Basic Undisputed Era?

We have a lot of 205 Live guys but we need Noam Dar.

Why no new Tyler Bate?

[Retroplex]

I hear u on the UE,I only collect elite tho
Corbin would be nice to get an update
and Maybe Tyler bate

Mike Maria and Noam = waste of money jobber status and I'm almost 100% Mike and Maria were let go in wwe spring cleaning. None of these 3 made any impact in wwe or stayed on for any relevant storyline. Not trying to shoot down ur idea but they were all D.o.A. because wwe has inbred monkeys writing for them.

I mean they made Jack Gallagher and Ariya Daivari. In the same category as Noam.

They were let go but they debuted a while ago so we should have gotten figures of them.

[Retroplex]

Yea they debuted a while ago. But at the same time Gallagher was over with the crowd which is why he and Bate got figures. Divari was part of a main storyline stable (in 205) thats why Nese go a figure too. But mainly they were on TV alot more. James Ellsworth DID NOT deserve multiple or a contract for that matter but he was more relevant than all those guys put together.
It also didn't help Maria when she came back she almost immediately got pregnant then did the whole cuckold angle which was just awful

[V1customs]

We’re is a elite Keith lee want one so bad

[Retroplex]

Keith Lee is another one I want. Hopefully for SDCC virtual gimmick their doing bc of the quarantine maybe well get a proto

[shanieomaniac]

Honestly I think one of the biggest problems that the entire WWE line faces is that, due to the logistics of the WWE verses other toy producing properties, they are literally always behind the times.

You watch these network specials, and you see superstars being handed their special gear the night of the PPV.
While there is some amount of long term planning, the physical nature of WWE means anything can happen to derail even the best laid plans.

It takes time to plan/render/produce a figure. But, because of the nature of the company, the planning cannot even START until the "look" occurs.

Contrast that with something like Marvel Legends where the figures are out before the Movies are because the movie has been in production for two years before the toys hit shelves.

So yes. The WWE will always seem like it is behind the times and there will always be complaints about how "Why didn't this happen" or "Why didn't this happen SOONER". The bottom line is they do what they can and I personally think Mattel is doing a decent job with the output end of things. Could it be better? It could always be better. But quality work doesn't happen overnight.

Then again, it's not like the people I want figures of are likely going anywhere anytime soon, so I am speaking from a point of privilege.

Literally this morning I saw the protos for the Viking Raiders. They look amazing but its elite wave 80 😒 while we r just getting E76. Better late than never..

To ur last point wwe is a blackhole for great tag teams. Whenever they co.e up they either have an untimely split or they misuse them Ergo the Revival and I wanted the VR before they drop the ball with them too
