He's had defining moments? Even if he's had(which he hasn't), he doesn't have enough elaborate gear to make it worth while. |

if steamboat is in his DRAGON WWF 1991 GEAR..then no moment occured which defines his career ( not counting a very fun six man tag as summerslam91) and any defining moment - WM3 or flair battles or rick rude us title battles but then we'll just get different color tights and jacket.... UHH not a good choice.
i dont even care if the actual moment in question was not a defining one.. but atleast make sure we the fans get intricate entrance gear, atleast different color wrestling tights BUT prefer different wrestling gear from a gimmick re-invention
HHH could be blue blood helmsley from many moments WM14 (still wore blue blood stuff)
could be DX 98 bright purple or green tights w/ orinal DX tee and BAZOOKA
or when he first became game personally i want the long DX tights ala SummerSlam98 he wore against Rock
the only way to get my money for DM DRAGON is in WM3 on the darn mini- ring mobile that took wrestlers to and from the ring!!!
sorry but soooo many greats for this atleast mAKE IT 3 OR 4 OR LEAVE IT @ 2 AND BRING BACK eg

Back circa '89 when Flair and Steamboat had their classics it was referred to the NWA World Heavyweight Championship belt wasn't it? What we know as the WHC belt was the "the big gold belt" as well as the WCW International belt, and before that it was simply the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. No need to split hairs, you know what I'm talking about.   |

No need to split hairs, you know what I'm talking about. You are 100% right about it being the NWA title at that time. Also, what was the Steamboat in green that everyone is referring to, did I miss something? Steamboat is an absolute must have for me. Triple H probably will be as well but I would like to see it in person or at least pictures first. |

No need to split hairs, you know what I'm talking about. I don't remember back in '89 as I was only 7, nor do I remember about the International belt thing. But I do know it was the NWA championship before it became the WCW championship. I was just messing with you. I will be honest and did not know that Steamboat held the NWA title when it was the "big gold" though, I knew of the "dome globe" or whatever it is called. |

Thrilled to finally get a "Dragon" era Steamboat. I kinda hope the jeans come molded on Trips but I highly doubt it.

Did most of you read?
Triple H is in this attire with this description...
Triple H (HHH) Defining Moments 3 WWE Toy Wrestling Action Figure by Mattel!
Attire from January 7, 2002
Triple H's highly-aniticpated return shows fans "The Game" isn't over
After suffering what some perceived to be a career-ending injury 8 months earlier, Triple H made his long-awaited return to WWE on Raw in front of a raucous sellout crowd at Madison Square Garden.
In May 2001, "The Game" tore his left quadriceps while defending the World Tag Team Championship with Stone Cold Steve Austin. After several months of extensive rehabilitation, he entered the ring at MSG and surprised fans when he announced plans to compete in the upcoming Royal Rumble. Kurt Angle interrupted Triple H's speech, taunting him and attempting to steal his thunder by announcing his own participation in the Rumble. "The Game" responded by delivering a Pedigree to Angle as the crowd roared its approval. Triple H went on to win the Royal Rumble two weeks later, eliminating Angle last for the victory.
The night of Triple H's re-emergence was not only one of the biggest returns in WWE history, but also one of the most pivotal moments in his extensive career. The wildly supportive reaction from the crowd proved that fans were definitely not ready for "The Game" to be over yet.
Steamboat is in this attire with this description....
Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat Defining Moments 3 WWE Toy Wrestling Action Figure by Mattel!
Dragon Attire from March 30, 1991
"The Dragon" devastates Brooklyn Brawler in his blazing return to WWE"
Ricky Steamboat truly personified the aura of a dragon as he entered the ring for his first WWE match in 3 years. Sporting the headdress & wings of the beast, Steamboat climbed to the top rope with unwavering confidence and breathed fire high into the air. "The Dragon" was back.
Steamboat had departed WWE back in 1988 to return to the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), where he engaged in several legendary matches against Ric Flair and enjoyed a 3-month reign as NWA Champion. However, he left the NWA again in 1989, leaving fans unsure whether they'd ever see "The Dragon" compete again.
Two years later on an episode of Superstars, Steamboat entered the ring a new man, but still with the same awe-inspiring ability of old. "The Dragon" proceeded to launch a seamless attack on his opponent, Brooklyn Brawler. Steamboat overwhelmed the Brawler with his high-flying, aerial arsenal and easily pinned him for the victory.
Any doubt fans had about Steamboat's return had disappeared, much to their delight. A new era in "The Dragon's" remarkable career had begun.

For anyone interested in the match that is referenced on the back of the Steamboat packaging: Thanks for the referene match. Did anyone else notice Steamboat didn't have his wrist wraps with yellow spikes in this one? I wonder if that means Mattel will leave this out like they did DM MAcho Man's wrist wraps? |

OMG! OMG! OMG! I am stokkkkked out the wazoo for the Dragon costumed Steamboat! I hope for accuracy's sake if the headress is removable, his hair will be in the ponytail. Also, I hope they include a "flaming" stick!
As for Hunter, his first return off the blown quad was epic and I am glad they chose that one. However didn't we see a similar outfit in the HHH/Steph two pack Jakks released as an internet special? Oh well, don't matter Steamboat is the one I am buying.
What's funny about the whole thing, is this Dragon fig will sell greatly, but it is the one time Steamboat hated the gimmick! Ironic.

That's kinda the bad thing about getting rid of the Entrance Greats line and calling this one Defining Moments. A lot of people, including myself, would love a figure of "The Dragon" from 1991. Unfortunately he never had a "Defining Moment" during that time. A WrestleMania III figure would be great, but it would kind of be a repaint of the L1 figure and that would be better in a 2-pack with Savage.
Assume Triple H will be the 2002 return.
Where's Bret Hart? SummerSlam '91 is my number one figure want.
