I have never had an ECW collection. Always a wwe golden era through attitude era display and a wcw late 80s to Monday night wars display. Ecw was never my thing but it's presence and influence was never lost on me. With dudleys and new rvd and Sandman on the way, I'm thinking about adding some.
Who are the existing ecw figures best representing the original crew? I know ecw cactus jack, Bam Bam, a Terry Funk.. who else am I missing?
Which other figures are you most wanting to see made? Raven, Taz, etc. I personally want Paul E. with leather trenchcoat, hat with red bill, screaming promo head sculpt and crazy eyes head. Would also love an ecw austin and ecw pillman. Others?

Original ECW has been by far the most underrepresented era/company in the entire line so far, probably only matched by territory days figures. The guys that you already listed (Elite 91 RVD, ECW RSC Cactus Jack, Terry Funk, Legends 11 Bam Bam) as well as the upcoming Sandmans, Dudleys and Defining Moments RVD are pretty much all we have gotten for ECW so far. Rey Mysterio also has a few Basics that are based on his ECW/early WCW days, as well as his Legends figure from ECW ONS 2006. There are also a couple additional ECWWE figures like RSC red trunks CM Punk, Royal Rumble Bobby Lashley, RSC Matt Hardy and I guess Elite 3 Christian, Elite 8 Regal and Gold Standard Shelton Benjamin but I don’t think those guys would really count in most people’s books as they aren’t ECW originals. You could probably also use a couple of WCW era figures like the Hall of Champions Eddie Guerrero and Dean Malenko as pseudo ECW figures. Other than that though you’re gonna have to resort to getting customs for the time being if you want guys like Tommy Dreamer, Sabu, Raven, Taz, Shane Douglas, Mike Awesome, New Jack, Spike Dudley, Mike Whipwreck, Steve Corino, Justin Credible, Super Crazy, Yoshihiro Taijiri, Psichosis, bWo, The Pitbulls, Francine, Dawn Marie, etc in your collection. I’m hoping with the recent signings of The Sandman and The Dudleys Mattel will start to make a bigger effort in getting the rights for ECW alumni so they can expand on that era for the line but quite frankly I wouldn’t hold my breath

I hope we get a Billy Gunn and Jake the Snake kind of situation for a future Tazz figure. His WWF debut attire is a must have for me. If Mattel made only one figure like they did for Snuka and Crush, it has to be that iconic attire for Tazz.

How have we not gotten a Tajiri yet? You would think he's on good terms with the company.
