Would you buy an Elite Flashback Jericho? Ringside Collectibles seems reluctant to request an Exclusive Flashback Chris Jericho from Mattel, based on supposed sales of previous Jericho figures. But there is a huge difference between a flashback Jericho and a modern Jericho. Flashback Chris Jericho - Long hair, beard
- Long tights with multiple colorful designs to choose from
- One of the most popular wrestlers of the late Attitude Era
- First ever Undisputed Champion who defeated The Rock and Stone Cold
Modern Chris Jericho - Short hair, clean shaven
- Short tights with similar uninteresting designs
- Lost in the midcard shuffle
- No longer wins championships
You can't compare the two. They could almost be 2 different guys.
When you release a Hulk Hogan figure, the best selling one will be from the Golden Era when he ruled wrestling. Not a modern Hogan. The same logic applies to Chris Jericho.
Chris Jericho was a world heavyweight champion three times in the modern era. Twice in 2008 and once in 2010 where he beat taker for it. He's not really watered down. Unless you mean right as of 2014/2015. I get your point about having a flashback though. We need one badly. Right now we only have the entrance greats attitude Jericho. Unacceptable. If anything we should get two jerichos this year on modern and one flashback. That would be nice!

MattelDesignTeamHere's a question.... WHERE IN THE BLUE HELL IS ELITE FLASHBACK JERICHO?!?!?!? ANOTHER year without an Elite Flashback Jericho? Jericho would sell better than a pimp, a British guy in a cape, and 2 NXT Elites of people that aren't even on the main roster. I'd be more than happy if the 4th DM is a FlashBack Jericho in WM 19 attire with jacket, attitude and world titles. Literally me if we don't get Jericho Flashback: Flashback Jericho... and it's a ing BASIC?!?! WHY GOD WHY.... I was thinking to myself Been waiting four years for a Flashback Jericho Can they please just come through I just wanted the elite damnit There's always tomorrow but thank you mattel. *cries* No flashback Jericho still? For real?

The fact that we didn't see even a proto of a FB Jericho at Comic Con seriously puzzles me.

Bill, please give us a Jericho. It's all I want. WM X8 Jericho is a bigger and more relevant name/attire than Godfather or Bulldog. (Even tho I'm glad we got them.)

My guesses are that maybe the basic they are putting out is to test the market for a FB Y2J, or maybe they have one on the way but put a Basic out first.
Also, I remember at one point RSC said something about Chris Jericho Elite's haven't sold well and if that's the case it may be the higher ups at Mattel holding out on a FB Elite Jericho, they may not care for a difference between current or FB, they might just be looking at the bottom line that Chris Jericho Elite's didn't sell. Not that I agree with that, but that's just what it seems like to me.
But I hope we do get a FB, personally I want WM19 Y2J.

This needs to work.
I would fight hardest for a WM 19 Jericho with the jacket possibly in the DM series cause that's when him and HBK had their awesome match and he hit him with the low blow after.
OR
WMX8 attire with both belts with the vest and green tights. Though he lost, defended the titles in the skydome and main evented with that awesome attire. It represents an important time in his career.
Mattel, we really freaking want this figure so bad. We love you.

Guys... Bill said the most things he's excited for wouldn't be ready for SDCC. Y2J may be included in that

Eventually we'll get one. But it should've never taken this long.
