One off figures - Always thought it was weird we only got one release of Magnum TA, Barry Windham, Micheal PS Hayes, Marty Jannetty, and plenty of other names that could have gotten at least two or three figures Belts - it's kind of crazy to me we've gotten like two belts only Hogan held before we got the NWA/WCW big gold,the NWA TV title, the ten pounds of gold and the WWWF title and we still haven't gotten the NWA tag titles, the NWA US title, or the green IC belt. Terry Gordy's steroid gut, I'm glad to have Terry in figure form but I wish they got his physique at least somewhat correct Mick Foleys arms, Foley is my favorite wrestler so I'll buy any of his figures I can, but I wish they didn't make him look more jacked than he actually was Not including the Funk U shirt with any Terry Funk figures Severe lack of pre WWF Dusty Rhodes figures, hopefully they'll rectify that soon They made two figures for Michael Hayes. There’s a Doc Hendrix BAF. Also, why is it crazy that they haven’t made other NWA belts. They only just made the NWA championship recently with Harley Race. It’s not like they were making NWA belts since the beginning. Theyve presumably had the ability to do NWA belts for a while, I just dont know why they didnt do them earlier with Flair, Dusty, Funk, the Road Warriors, or anybody else that held titles under that banner. I'm glad they're doing them now, I just don't know why it took so long |

No A-Train/Albert is baffling to me. I know we go Tensai years ago but the guy has worked for them for over a decade now.

I'm gonna say this yet again.
The way that they decided to just never make Elite duct tape KO during the several *years* span he was wearing it, was insane, as was the way that they not only didn't fast track it, but they never once bothered to release a proper Honorary Uce figure in any attire except the WarGames one which he only wore a couple times, and I get the impression they only released him to complete the already released set. Releasing either of those figures would have been huge moneymakers, but for some reason they just never bothered to.
Also, fat person arms. Why the EFF are there no fat person arms. No really, Mick AND Kevin, why the ahglkjahlkjghs has there never been an arm mold made for either of them, you could just keep reusing them once you made them, so why did they never bother making them???
And I know we don't talk about him, but never making a Corporation Vince figure just seems insane to me. They made two Golden Era Vince figures but never once considered people would want one of him from the Corporation???
Those are the three big ones that I want to scream and bang my head about. There are a LOT of baffling decisions on Mattels part, but those are the three biggest for me personally.

I know they're still with the company but I'm really surprised we haven't gotten Creed bros or Ivy Nile

Also why did it take like 10 years to get a decent Asuka scan/ sculpt?

It’s probably a rights issue but kinda crazy there hasn’t been a Bad Bunny fig. Also A-Team Mr T in the Hollywood line considering it is a Universal property but maybe it was a more complicated licensing issue.

This is the only Dean Malenko that was released by Mattel. I'm proud to be a "Mint-In-Box" owner, although I'd really love to display it loose, I can't bring myself to open it now.  I was talking about Ambrose They did that Amazon Shield reunion 3-pack and they did one last Shield gear Ambrose, but I think that was based on the pre-injury look because it had long hair. And I forgot about the Malenko US title flub. |

Just get a Vince head, get a suit with no tie, if they’re isn’t one , get the head and wait for one to come out switch heads boom. Oh I already did, it just baffles me that they never did an official one.  Can you post a couple more shots of this Vince. I thought about getting the suited Baron Corbin to do the same, but the suit always looked too metallic in the promo pics I saw. |

Did they ever make Dean after he came back from injury all jacked or did he leave the company too soon after for them to get one out? They were working on one and had to cancel it. It was around Elite 70 |

Bobby the Brain Heenan. Greatest manager of all time and he has one main line release that was a terrible figure in a weasel suit that no one wanted.

There hasn't been an Undertaker/Paul Bearer two pack. I also figured there would be a Macho/Liz as well but that never came.
