Hoping it'll be a Clash attire, if not the iconic ECW stripes is great too, just not sure where to stick that in my collection.
I love seeing guys from the legends line redone in the main elite line. Hoping that NWA Dusty and Flyin Brian are due next.
Kind of unrelated, but does anyone else cringe when they hear Jim Ross do a Terry Funk 'egg sucking dog' impression on his podcast?

I'm pretty sure it was just because it was a last minute release. It was originally supposed to be I.R.S from what I have heard. I wouldn't trust Mattel though either, hmm. And also, I know you didn't say it but seriously guys? There is more of a chance that Beniot gets a figure than a toy company as kid friendly as Mattel making a figure say: "Funk U". It would be nice though. funk u isn't bad its not like people are asking for the shirt that say dirty motherfunker or anything We do have to realize that these figures are aimed for children. If somehow the Funk U shirt gets out the soccer moms will be all over it and sue Mattel, I don't think they are going to take the risk. |

ECW era Terry Funk, The Dudleys back in WWE with Tommy Dreamer and Rhyno coming up from NXT... Could we slowly start building an extreme collection Mattel??

Lol yeah I do love his podcasts but he goes to his Funk and Barnett impressions a little too often. |

Do we know for sure it will be a new attire ? Remember what happened with DDP ? We all got excited for a new attire and head scan then they just re-released the Legends figure with a few colour tweaks, hope they aren't doing that for Funk. That's what I'm worried about! I hope they don't reuse the Legends head! |

I knew Funk as an old dude who got hit with light tubes. That's what I want. Red/white pants etc. This is the coolest Elite series in ages. I usually MAYBE get 1 figure per series. But damn, Kid, Balor AND FUNK!?!? This is amazing. Funk never got hit by light tubes.  Whatever he got hit with in Japan during those insane death matches. |

Not too fussed about attire but for me the worst case scenario would be if they re-used the old head. As long as he gets a new headscan that looks like him and isn't screaming or smiling I'll be happy.

If he has the striped pants, I see those taking up most of the budget. Probably no accessories. Lucky if we get a cloth shirt.

I hope Mattel trolls us and gives him a green cut off Tshirt, jeans and a perm from when he played Morgan on Roadhouse

how badass is this figure?? awesome head sculpt, ecw title, removeable headband my god man. it's just sick only gripe is that he does look super old, which he should be to represent this era, but wish they fudged his age a bit so he could be fix upped better into an nwa version vs flair  |

^ i think i just ordered 1, but I think i need 2 more.
hope the head isn't too small. the legends funk head was oversized looks like this one might be undersized.
but looks like a great release
