HBK is my favorite of all time and I'm looking to get another of his elites ( I have the RSC exclusive). I'm deciding between WM 14 and the new network exclusive. I really like them both and am having trouble deciding. Anyone who has them, which one do you recommend? Right now I'm leaning towards the network exclusive one mainly because its about $15 cheaper on ebay. Just want to hear what others think about those two figures and any possible recommendations as to other HBK elites I should look to get?

E19, wm-14, Network spotlight, RSE, Rockers. All good Shawn elites. I DO NOT like baggy pants, cowboy ass chaps HBK.....

Wm14 is one of the best Mattel figs ever IMO. I'd definitely grab that.

I think it comes down to your liking of DX. The WM 14 is a great figure no doubt, but I prefer the Network version because I always preferred Shawn's career outside of DX.

Rsc is my least favorite. Wm HBK is probably the best amongst the new network and elite 19 IMO

HBK is also my all-time favorite. I'd get all of them.

The Wrestlemania 14 Elite is by far my favourite - awesome figure.

Elite 19 and WM 14 are my two favorites. Will be grabbing the TRU one if they ever stock it at my local one.

Austin, Hogan, Flair, Rock, & Cena all have much more legit claims to that title Austin and Rock are up there right behind Michaels in figure popularity, but the others I disagree with because there's way less Hogan/Flair generation collectors left here, and as far as Cena goes, his popularity is with casual/child/retail fans, not hardcore online collectors between the ages of 22-36 demographic.

Yeah that guy's list is a joke compared to classic HBK. The Rock and Austin have never been hard to find nor are they ever hyped the way HBK is. Hogan is definitely up there but still not quite on classic HBK levels. And Cena??? LOL And Flair isn't even good enough to be under those guys who are under HBK. He's the only much older DM that you can still get at retail price.

You said Michaels was the most popular wrestler. He's not. Rock, Austin, Hogan, Cena, & Flair are miles above him in popularity. If Michaels drew as good as he wrestled, he'd be in contention for that title; he didn't draw

If Michaels drew as good as he wrestled, he'd be in contention for that title; he didn't draw Bad logic. Undertaker has drawn more than Roman Reigns could ever dream of but he's been out of title contention for years. Shawn spent most of his second WWE run putting other guys over, yet still staying relevant to the title picture, which is a testament to his greatness. There comes a point where a belt doesn't really matter much for certain wrestlers. Shawn didn't even need a title run in 02 but he got it. Short but sweet. As far as figures go, I have never ever had a problem finding any of the guys you named. And the reaction from Comic Con several years ago to Elite 19 HBK was stronger than any figure of any of those guys including Hogan. Only Hollywood Hogan could hit or surpass the hype levels that this Network and Elite 19 HBK got. And that would be due mainly to the controversy surrounding it.
