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. This is actually where I am. I don't think either really capture Piper too well.

I'd love to see the Walmart T-shirt set to have a molded Piper shirt with a longer haired scan... But I wouldn't mind another elite with the same style ringer shirt as the one E18 Punk came with. It fits much much better than the EG Piper ringer Tee.

I do want a new one, too. I have the EG, and it's fine, but the head sculpt really isn't Piper. I'd like to have a solid headscuplt on beefier buck and yes, a sculpted t-shirt. Also, an old-school mic so I can recreate the Pit!

Speaking of the Walmart t-shirt series, Cody received a gift from Mattel today.

Would rather have someone like JYD. While I too love JYD, I'm pretty sure that response is how you got to Main Event status.

I wasn't very impressed with either Piper that Mattel made, so yes I'd love a new one, based off his 1985 look.

I would like to have a "modern" Piper myself, but that's just me I guess.

It fits much much better than the EG Piper ringer Tee. But the Hot Rod is backwards. lol bit I agree a while back someone asked who I'd want in the WM tshirt line and Piper was my first choice. 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. This is actually where I am. I don't think either really capture Piper too well. Sorry I have to disagree with you guys. Like I said on the first page I think they nailed his snarl perfectly with the EG figure. The body should have been beefier on both figures (more like the Funks torso) but the EG scan is great. When I see that figure I right way think of his fued with Snuka. It is still tied with DM Bret, L1 Hawk and L6 WCCW Kerry as my favorite Mattel figure.

I got his legends figure with EG attire and I'm happy with it. Don't need a new 1.

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. I agree, I was disappointed with both figures Mattel has produced of Piper. I'm not a Basic fan and that head didn't seem to have too much detail. Also the Elite just looks like Bugs Bunny for some reason. I'd like a new 1985 Elite and a 1992 IC title run elite.

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'm afraid I got some bad news, since the WWE now has a ¨Bad News¨ Barrett, I doubt that we'll get a ¨Bad News¨ Brown. WWE likes to pretend that everyone forgets about past gimmicks to recycle them which is also why I was very surprised when they let CM Punk mention Flash Funk the other week on Raw. Flash Funk's Gimmick and dancing girls + Ernest the Cat Miller's music + Brodus Clay with dino spikes = Funkasaurus Gimmick (Which has now been passed on to Xavier Woods so minus the Brodus Clay and sewn on dino spikes) They also reused the Patriot's music for Kurt angle and the Patriot was never mentioned ever again.
