First of all....to my surprise I walked into Target today and found Basic Sandow (the only figure currently at retail on my want list) and to make it better basics are on sale for $8.99.
I like the basic attire look. However with the elite 22 Sandow scheduled to come out in a few months, would Mattel really release the esentially same figure (i assume the head will be the same, elite will prob come with robe but still) so close to each other in the same attire.
Sandow has reveresed the pink/purple tights/kneepad combo in the past. Will we get that instead of his basic attire?
(And the past 2 weeks he has a white trunk look which is obviously way too soon to think mattel could make that attire.)

They did it with the latest Cody Rhodes elite I think. Was the exact same as the basic attire-wise.

His attire is obviously going to be outdated. They started work on the figure probably 10 months ago. He'll probably be in the first attire he wore in WWE with the original colors. Mattel can't be on top of every person changing their knee pad or elbow pad colors every couple of weeks.
I'm more concerned about the robe. If he comes with a PLASTIC robe I'm going to be furious. His robe needs to be cloth or I'm not buying it. I'll buy the Basic and put the head on a spare Elite body.

I'm sure everything will be the same. I'm confident that the robe will be cloth.

I expect it to be the same as the basic. His debut attire. Thats what I would prefer anyway.
I think he only stopped wearing it because of the Breast Cancer awareness thing. [Dolph stopped wearing pink attires too during that time]
He's worn it at least 2 more times since then. I know he wore it again @ Royal Rumble 2 months ago.
Also the tables match he had against Sheamus before the Rumble

I'm sure everything will be the same. I'm confident that the robe will be cloth. I hope the robe is cloth. If not, the robe that came with one of the Von Erich's will do just fine. |

I'd guess it'll be the same. Plenty of wrestlers have had the same attire in both lines.

I was just talking about this on Facebook. I gotta believe it's the same as the Basic 28 attire. We'll get a WM29 attire as the next Elite with the other variants coming in the Basic line.

As long as its a cloth robe, I'm sure the figure will look great. Probably the same attire as the basic, I'd be fine with since I decided to pass on the basic

he really only wore one attire for a VERY long time
so the Elite will easily be that
i expect the head to be the same and i fully expect that if he even comes with a robe it will be the alienrubberplastic like Regal, Goldust, etc.

It better have a cloth robe. This figure doesn't require the effort of a CM Punk so there's no reason they couldn't give a cloth robe and mic.

Speaking of which, I hope Cesaro is the same attire as his basic. I loved that gear - it's a shame we aren't getting a matching jacket, but I hope it's still the same attire.

If you guys collect Masters of the Universe Classics and have the filmation King Randor - he comes with a chalice of red wine - it would be the perfect add-on accessory for this figure ha!

Honestly I hope he comes with either Purple Trunks and Pink Kneepads, or Purple Trunks and White kneepads. Otherwise I might not even get it. I have B28 with Von Erich robe and there's not one thing wrong with it lol. If the robe ends up being cloth and he comes in the same pink trunk attire then I have no reason to buy it.
He might have a different headsculpt though. I remember when mattel was confirming the E22 Lineup they said Kane and someone else had new heads. And I really thinkthey specifically said "Sandow will come with robe and new head"

they get us good with the elite body and buying a basic for the head lol... I hope he comes with cloth robe - I don't think he'd look right in a rubber one...but then again doesn't he have a towel around his neck too? I could see them molding that into the robe...
