I saw him and the store and didn't pick him up, because A) we already have that attire in Basic, but more importantly B) the lack of any accessories. A little mic isn't enough for me. If they had given us a shirt, or a suit, or anything, I'd pick it up.
Finlay got an old school jacket, Kane got the sweet chains. If they had given Jericho anything it would have been an improvement. I just couldn't part with my $15 without a little extra something something in the mix. It will be the first Elite I passed on unless I change my mind.

I never got the purple Jericho in basic, so I was happy with the purple elite. I don't like his current gear as much, so I was glad that the elite had the "Save Me" stuff (though I do prefer the red trunks with the chains).

To be fair, Finlay's jacket (while a throwback to WCW days), was worn at 'Mania.
And I'm glad Jericho didn't get a cloth suit... at this scale, I think it would have looked awful. Heck, some suits for 12" 1/6 scale figures just look terrible.

I definitely passed on it. I have the basic Purple one, and will get the Steamboat 2 pack one also.
Not sure which I'll keep. I like purple attires for most people, Rhodes, Miz, but the 2 pack one looks great, and he's not got a Mattel figure with that design yet has he? I know RA40 had the same design in a different color.

Mattel can make a good suit for him if they wanted. his suit looks ok.. but is still a bit baggy.... and that figure is $20... yeah the stand and belt add a bit of cost.. but i dont think jericho would have came with a suit... |

Besides, more than likely Jericho's jacket, shirt, and tie would have been all sewn together as one piece... not to mention the pants would have had to fit over the knee pads, and his boots would have been sticking out of the bottom. In my opinion it just would have been bad. |

I bought both Jerichos, I dont mind an outdated attire if it looks good atleast and although theres lack of accessories, I mainly buy the elites for detail and articulation and the detailing on both attires is outstanding. I feel that they planned on having him and show with the tag belts but did not have them ready in time which is fine by me.
Also, I dont like the idea of fabric suits for figures, Ill buy that DiBiase but for the figure and the belt, I will more than likely just put the suit aside.

I know RA40 had the same design in a different color. If Elite 4 Y2J had those designs, I'd pick it up even if it didn't have accessories. But yeah, they should've at least thrown in a blue SD! shirt with Jericho. RAW/SD! t-shirts should be the default cloth accessory for figures who don't have any character specific accessories/entrance attire. |

I'm passing on Elite Jericho even though he's one of my favourite wrestlers. I don't collect Basic, so I'm hoping we get a better Elite Jericho down the line. Reason? I don't like his smiling head-scan. As a heel Jericho is scowling more than smiling, it just doesn't work for me.

Jericho should have come with the minitron that he slammed HBK's head through.

Yea passed for the reasons you listed, no accessories so not worth it, the least they could've done is put his long tights on him.
