I spent an hour looking on youtube for this.. they should have just done camo pants if it was going to be the dx invasion tripleh. he wasnt even in dx when he wore those tights he just turned on xpac and joined the corporation if i remember correctly I agree camo pants was the way to go here. They could have used the Shield or the Bushwhackers pants mold. Also a scan with a smirk wouldn't have hurt either. All that being said... I still really like the figure and fully intend on getting it asap. |

Great post. Wish HHH had gone back to the long tights when he hurt his groin in 2003 instead of those crappy biker shorts.
This attire is decent but Mattel had so many colorful choices to chose from and took a more bland one though I get why because this is a WM set. Hopefully we get a HHH in purple or red soon.

True the accessories are from the invasion and not WM, but the attire (minus the shirt) is WMXV which was the theme of the FBs in e23. So it was his last day of DX. And I'd bet he wore them before WMXV as well. And while the WMXV tights were my favorite long tights choices of the 3 WM's it was going to be based off...I had said if it was going to be in long tights I wish it was WMXIII with his green robe or WMXIV with the black robe. But that didn't happen...hell, I just wish they gave him either of those two robes instead of the accessories they did give him. well he definately didn't wear it before WM15.....cuz thats whats the topics about |

Kinda like the time they claimed Eddie Guerrero wore orange boots. The figure is real good, but not accurate to WM15. |

If you are saying that because there's no pics on the internet of it than that means nothing. Or is there another way you can say with 100% certainty he didn't. |

I thought it was interesting to see them combine this attire with those accessories. Then again, I don't think I'd ant him to be in camo pants so this fig works for me.

I know they like debut new attires at WM...but you said you checked every match he had for 2 months prior, but I guess my question is where did you find all these matches and how do you know that was all of them? It's not that I don't beleive you I'm only asking this because I am genuinely interested in knowing/seeing them. lol |

It's not that I don't beleive you I'm only asking this because I am genuinely interested in knowing/seeing them. lol its based on WM 15. So i googled WWF Raw results for 1999. Then I went backwards from WM 15....and looked for all HHH matches. Then googled those matches or RAWS for video and I checked the 2 PPV's before. I only checked about 1 Sunday Night Heat.....so there's a sliver of a chance he wore it on Heat and I missed it. But its pretty unlikely. I did the same method after WM 15 to find out all the times he wore it after Mania. came to a total of him wearing it 4 times (including WM) i also checked the debut Smackdown from Apr 99. pretty much every raw is on daily motion |

I'm pretty sure they just threw in the DX shirt, helmet, and speaker for custom purposes or people that aren't that worried about accuracy. Also making the tights green gives it a DX vibe. Easily one of the coolest figures I've picked up so far.

That is the first time he wore that attire. |
