I was wondering a few things...
I've been a bit hyped on Roddy Piper recently and I wanted a new figure. I was wondering which was your favorite version of him and if you'd even wanted a new one. (also, I don't know if there has been any buzz on a new one on the way, so let me know) (I've never made a poll before so hopefully the way I decided to do it will work)
Thanks for your input.

The EG was a better likeness than the Legends 2-Pack, but I want a new Elite. Piper's one of those guys that's always around, so it seems like he might get a new one at some point.

Took the EG head and swapped it out with my Legends. I don't need another one.

I'd love a new Elite. Piper is one of my guys for sure. I have the Legends 2 Pack version but His legs move like sh*t, I'm afraid if they lift up too much they'll break. It looks great with the EG Hot Rod shirt and bagpipes if you display only though. But eventually my son n I will start playing with them when he's older and I have a bad feeling piper will be one of the first to break.
We need another Piper.

A Wrestlemania VI Piper would be siiick. They should make a 2 pack with Bad New Brown. I'd swoop that up in a heartbeat.

I have the legends on, but I would get more in a heartbeat, I'd love one with his early 90s long hair look. If it had the denim jacket and pink shirt that would be a plus, but not necessary. I wish the one i had came with the Hot Rod t-shirt. The entrance great isn't too expensive, but still more than I want to pay just for an accessory. I'd pack a new one with the kilt, t-shirt, and intercontinental title. Also,i only collect elite, so that's how I'd want it

This! I'd love a new/FB Piper... pretty much like his Entrance Greats figure, but in Elite form.

Piper is my all-time favorite wrestler so I would buy any and all. I'd love for Mattel to give us the EG head with Funks torso and the Legends 2-Pack lower body. (like the one in my avatar) then give him the 2-Pack kilt with either the white t-shirt with Panther face or his red Superman shirt with Piper's Pit on the back. That said I don't think we will be getting a new one anytime soon.

I've been wanting a new Elite early 90s Piper since I got into the line. He's my number 1 most wanted but I'd want him done right. He should have a newly molded torso that could be shared with D.Bryan, M$M (who also needs a elite).
But saying that.... I'm happy if Mattel are waiting due to wanting to get guys out who's contract is expiring. I'd rather wait than not get evil crush, magnum TA, etc....

What about a modern day Piper using the Build-a-figure method??

I was kind of dissapointed with both versions of Piper that Mattel gave us. These were some of their first figures and the head sculpts were meh. I would really love for them to take another stab at him. Elite of course. Would want a new short haired heal version and of course a long haired face version.

Really disappointed with the EG? I think they nailed his snarl perfectly. It is still tied with DM Bret, L1 Hawk and L6 WCCW Kerry as my favorite Mattel figure.

Pop88. That's your response every time someone mentions a wrestler who's not JYD lol
I want a new wm heritage basic piper, one with a longer hair sculpt, a much better likeness
I don't think we need a new elite for him, let's face it, most of us have already fixed the legends one up already, just a better sculpt, this time from 91-92 with longer hair

I like the Legends scan a lot, but I'd like to have a '92 Piper.
It seems like the EG and Legends are both a little off for mid '80s Piper. I'm not really sure how to describe it, but he looked a lot - puffier? Both of those figures look like a '90s Piper with an '80s haircut.
