What big names/tip top stars are you missing?

[Ron Waffle]

With DDP coming out in the MNW line, it got me thinking, which big name, main event talent are people missing and why?

I don't have DDP and while he's not in Austin/Rock/Hogan territory, he is a big name.

DDP, Dusty, Steamboat and Mr Perfect are probably the biggest names I don't have. Also, I only have Roddy Piper from the Hollywood line. I've never been particularly enamoured with the previous versions of the ones I'm missing. I wanted to get the Legends Perfect, but that yellow rubber top put me off.

I'm not counting LOD, personally, as they're not easily available.

[Mongo Bears]

Jeff Jarrett

[mikedanger]

Gangrel

[Fighter Hayabusa]

That’s been made available? None. Big names that have yet to be signed or got a Mattel figure? I’d say right now the biggest names for me personally are probably Rad Radford, Pedro Morales, Jesse Ventura (but that may be changing soon), Mr Fuji, Konnan, Raven, Linda McMahon

[Sting]

I'm counting LOD. I put off getting them thinking I'd eventually get them on eBay. Big mistake.
I also regret not going for the JJ Dillon BAF set when it first came out.
I also missed out on Torrie Wilson as I took a break from collecting when her figure was released.
On the flip side I was lucky that someone gifted me Demolition before they became rare.

Since I returned to collecting I try to buy everything I want straight away in case I miss out on them like years gone by.

And for big names not made yet: Billy Kidman and Raven.

For figures that have been made, it's Dusty for me. The reason I don't have him is that I didn't start watching wrestling until later 90s so never really saw him wrestle. I do still collect some wrestlers that I didn't watch growing up but usually only if they're on sale or something. Haven't seen a Dusty figure go cheap enough for me to want to grab yet lol

[Rocky Balboa]

Mike Awesome.

[Flair Forever]

I don't have a decent Randy Orton.... I don't really want one. Might have a Basic or something laying around if it came in a two-pack or something.

To me, all his attires look pretty much the same (and boring).... and I've also never been a big fan of the guy or the character. I've always sort of viewed him as a guy who had everything handed to him on a silver platter, and for the most part, he wasn't appreciative of it. Viewing his recent A&E Biography sort of backed that up for me.

If we ever get a proper Evolution set I might need to re-evaluate, but apparently Mattel never even felt the need to do it completely (Flair, Batista, Orton, Triple H). Forget that new set - look at my profile, I'm not that interested in an Evolution set that doesn't include Ric Flair!

I also haven't picked up a proper Cody Rhodes yet - - - I think I will, but I'm trying to avoid that trap of buying each one that comes out until I find the "perfect" one and then realizing I have 10 Cody's in my collection. I like Cody but I don't need to have a dozen Codys in my collection.

[darkprophet]

In Elite/Ultimate scale, as an 80’s WWF Legends collector, I’ll first name the ones I want who have never been made: Dynamite Kid, Powers of Pain- Barbarian, Haku, One Man Gang, Hercules, and Bad News Brown (there are others too, of course, but these are at the top of my wanted list). As for ones I missed out on, “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan Legends figure is my biggest regret. I also would like to add Bobby Heenan and Jimmy Hart to my collection, but never liked their size.

[jt]

The biggest names im missing that fit my collection are probably Ultimate Warrior and Andre The Giant. I haven't been collecting for very long and I haven't particularly wanted any warriors they've put out so far minus the Greatest Hits Legends one that just dropped and UE Andre was incredibly difficult to find, but I'm sure he'll get a CC release eventually.

Im also missing Demolition, Duggan, and a handful of other 80s talents. Technically still missing Sting but I have the Jazwares Surfer Sting on preorder

[Fighter Hayabusa]

I guess the biggest names I have had no desire to pick up are:

Legends:
Snuka
Mae Young
Rocky Johnson
High Chief

Modern Legends:
Roman
Cody

Icons outside of wrestling:
Gronk
Knoxville

[personagamer]

Raven and Spike Dudley

[ferris2424]

Raven
Sabu
Haku
Koko b ware
Giant gonzalez
Hercules
Paul Roma
Ultimo dragon
Mountie
Barbarian

[PJ]

That have been released? None. I have at least one of everyone that I would want in my collection. The only figure I can say I want but don’t have is the Legends Paul E Dangerously. But I do have the BAF Heyman and I think one from a 2-Pack with Brock(?)

Now the wrestlers I still want to consider my collection complete that haven’t been made (or released) by Mattel are…
Pedro Morales - (been wanting one since CS 1)
The Executioners - Studd & Kowalski (wanting them since CSTT1)
Dynamite Kid- I need a true Mattel WM2 & WMIIi attires.
Jesse Ventura - ring attire like his CS 21(?) figure.
Ivan & Nikita Koloff - red singlets with sickle.
Adrian Adonis - both Adorable and East/West Connection.
Doom - with both masked & unmasked heads.
Mr Fuji - ring gear & manager.
Mr Saito - ring attire.
Ken Patera - blue single & platinum hair.
Tony Garea -ring gear (been wanting since CS1)
Tony Atlas - need one to display with Rocky Johnson.
Chief Jay Strongbow - the figure needs to be released. He and Billy White Wolf vs the
Executioners is the first match I can remember watching with my dad in the mid 70’s.
Billy White Wolf - see Chief Jay Strongbow for reasoning.
Ivan Putski - black trunks and boots.
Power of Pain -
Midnight Express - Sweet Stan & Beautiful Bobby.
Dr Death Steve Williams - like his Jakks figure.

Must have repaints -
Steiner Brothers - WM9.
US Express - I know Windham and Rotunda have figures from Mattel, but I want US Express versions.
Magnificent Muraco - black or Navy blue trunks. With intercontinental championship and sleeveless grey sweatshirt.
Hart Foundation - WM2 (non basics) & WMIII.
Bob Backlund - green or blue trunks with WWWF world heavyweight championship.
Tito Santana - Blue trunks with intercontinental championship.
Rick Martel - strike force.
”Superfly” Jimmy Snuka - trunks and barefoot.

[WrestlingFigWig]

Just checked a big one off my list as I finally got a King Kong Bundy.

I really want some needed Attitude Era stars like Al Snow, Hardcore Holly, Sable and for Jazwares to have some balls and make black and pink singlet Owen.

[Nivro™]

Jay Strongbow

[Mongo Bears]

Out of all that’s been released I have all the big names I need.
I never picked up Bruno and I sold off my king Harley long ago but I don’t need them as they are before my time.
The only figure I’m missing in my collection that I really need is NOD Mark Henry and I guess I’d love the legends Paul e also

[shanieomaniac]

I don't have any Daniel Bryan figures. The only one I have is the ROH American Dragon figure which I really don't think counts.

I'm also missing Roddy Piper which is a huge gap for me and, while I've been meaning to get one, haven't found one I like yet.

Those are probably the two biggest ones which I want and don't any of have yet. I do have a Sting figure, but it's the first AEW one and I really want to find a good Mattel one (or three).

[Back to the Codyverse]

The only thing I'm missing is better parts choices on Mattel's end.
