I think its fine. There hasnt been an elite Austin in ring gear for a long time compared to Rock, Cena, Hogan, HHH. Also its replacing a Hollywood hogan that people really wanted so that sucks, but no ones fault but Hogan They have put Austin in the DM spot twice, as well as undertaker. They could have easily placed Austin the regular elite line. We were told that Defining Moments were for figures with high deco that couldn't be done within the regular elite budget. Black tights Austin isn't exactly setting the world on fire. I just want someone new in the very few spots that are given for it. What i was saying is that Bill was planning Hollywood Hogan, with detailed deco, and numerous accessories. That fell through 3-4 months before its release. He had to hot shot someone into the spot so wheres the time to design deco/new molds? Austin comes with 3 titles, normal elites might come with two every now and then, but not 3, and two have only been released as exclusive. Im sure bill would have loved to get a first timer in the line. Figures take 8-9 months for production. Austins molds already exist.

I just would have hoped for a new character.

With this fig, I'm going to be doing something very similar to this: Can't wait! Making something like this would be really cool. Just need something for his KOTR win and HOF from Mattel and you're set. Are you going to package it or make display My plan is to definitely package it. I just have to see how it looks moc first. And I will probably make 2 slits for every belt on the clear thing that holds that figure. And will probably have him holding the smoking skull belt and a hof plaque from bruno. Probably won't add the Austin 3:16 shirt tho. Defintely will post pics when completed.

I've got the RSC Austin, but I'll probably pick this one up too. The belts are the big draw,as the one AE belt i have doesnt cut it for display purposes. But having another Austin Elite will come in handy as well. This way i can put that vest on one of my basics and have a ring gear only elite Austin for certain pose
