No plans nor any mention, but that doesn't mean one isn't planned since we don't know their plans very far in advance. Undertaker seems like a high profile guy that Mattel would like more of on the shelf. Since his current look can only go so far and given everything else already released I would say either a 97-98 look or an American Badass look would be next on their list.
Which coincidentally are the two looks I want most for him. Either his long hair ABA days teaming with Kane (ABA Taker and 2001 Kane would be an AWESOME 2-pack) or his short-haired "Respect" days would be fine with me.

im with you 100%. I have actually held off on buying a taker, just because i want the ABA taker. I waited for debute kane, he finally came about (Just gotta find him at a good price). So i hope my waiting pays off again.

I'd love that. It'd be cool but highly unlikely if Mattel did a series where guys come with vehicles. Like Taker and his bike, Austin and a beer truck (probably a 4-wheeler since they can't do beer), Eddie and his Low Rider, Cena and his car from WM, Del Rio and a car and do on. That would be neat.

I wasn't a fan of that gimmick. Nothing beats original Taker

ABA is my most wanted Taker figure, and when Mattel releases the figure, I hope they go with this attire: I like the attire above more than the next one: Which one do you guys prefer?

Not 2000 Taker. 2001, 2002 Taker would be better for me

i would prefer the sleeveless one. I'm glad I'm not the only one who wants a ABA taker. Then it would be cool if they released the APA (sorry i can dream, can't i?)

I really hope they make 1. Would be perfect as a 'Flashback'.

Did he ever wrestle in jeans like that? I just want a pretty simple one, black singlet top and black pants with "Deadman Inc" on the side, with a removable bandana of course. Like in this vid (he gets in the ring at about 1:10). Or if short haired then like how he looked in match against Jeff Hardy. Maybe a cloth red devil shirt with a sculpted singlet underneath

I would definitely love a biker Undertaker figure. For me, I'd like the Big Evil Taker, with the short hair. Plus, as an elite, they could have a good amount of stuff to choose for accessories. You could have the cloth shirt, a removable bandana and/or skull cap, sunglasses, or even a chain as a weapon.

So i hope my waiting pays off again. Agree. I just want one figure of each wrestler I like and masked Kane is my favorite. I'd like Mattel releases one in basic style, but until then, I'll get the elite one (for a good price ). As I said before, ABA is the Taker figure I want most, however, I bought the elite series 1 because it looks really good ;D. Sometimes one figure is not enough, but just sometimes.

One of the best times of UT's career. A figure by Mattel would be great.

I'd love to get a Flashback Taker for his heel "Booger Red" run. Though I think any form of his ABA era would look cool.

i would first want an elite undertaker from his 97-98 run.. personally his most high profile matches occured in this attire.. (ex: vs Foley hellinacell || vs hbk hellinacell || vs Sid Wrestlemania13 || vs KANE Wrestlemania 14 || vs Bret SummerSLam 97...on & on + countless raws.. but i also really want an elite not basic of Taker with either grey or Purple gloves & boot covers.. prob purple more! those 3 different outfits i prefer atleast one of them to be released before an American Bad ASS .. i was still young well 10yrs old in 1994, so you know how much i went from being scared that taker was gunna bury my hero HULKSTER in 91.. to cheering " REST IN PEACE" "REST IN PEACE" w/ 20thousand other "creatures of the night" while watching UNDERTAKER Battle his Arch-nemesis in 94 Yokozuna! although i daydream @work about a special eg/dm like series with a fig+special vehicle.. imagine.. Austin w/ the beer truck, ABA taker on his bike, Honky in a pink cadillac!, Eddie in his lowrider, JBL eh nevermind u get the point!!! so what ya'll brothers want??!

Considering Mattel refuses to even make a Batmobile for their Batman Legacy line, I doubt we'll be getting any motorcycles or limos in the future

I am almost positive a little while ago they said that they wouldn't do that style until he retires, because of the undertakers darker character.

1997-1998 Undertaker with the gothic type vest is my next big Undertaker want. Purple, grey gloved Deadman needs to be made in elite before we think of any biker style Undertakers!
