Ever since BCA Austin with his camo shirt and black jean shorts, I've been plagued by having at least one Jakks WWF/E character in every assortment of figures that I couldn't find a ring gear version of and had to settle for either having them not wrestle at all or do some sort of "hardcore" gimmick. Poor Shamrock was OUT OF HIS ZOOONE being forced to wrestle in his jean shorts and tanktop, with nary a technical hold being applied in any of his BCA matches.
My first two RealScan TTL Edges were nearly identical in that they were both wearing the molded jacket (that, in hindsight, didn't look realistic in the slightest). To remedy this, I'd just always have him be attacked on the way to the ring. I had fun with it the first few times, but found it to be monotonous when he was slated to be KOTR (his name was on the cup/trophy, after all) and NEVER had the time to remove it, whether he was in the ring or chilling in the locker room. It wasn't until many years later that I finally had a TTL Edge without a jacket; Backlash 2004, which was hideous in retrospect.
I guess the point of this thread is, is there any character you simply could not find a figure in ring gear and had to go with one of Jakks's lesser options? If so, what did you do about it?
This is the first time I've made a thread in this section of a forum in a while...it feels good!
