True but mattel hasn't exactly been releasing the latest ones from a defining moment since before its cancel. That isn't entirely true. Both Sting figures were defining moments in his career. GAB '90 his first World title victory. And Starrcade '97 beating Hogan for the World title. Yea I gotcha PJ but what I'm trying to day is, apparently not every DM figure being released isn't exactly a defining moment. I now see it as a line with an exclusive box. The accessories isn't exactly as premium as they used to be like Chip has named.

It's just a few extra bucks, honestly. As long as I want the figure I couldn't care less about the semantics of it being an actual "defining moment" or not. I collect figures anyway, not boxes. As for accessories, it would be nice if a higher-level figure came with more accessories, but I don't need a shirt just to get a shirt. To me, the DM line is for highly sought after figures. Should 1990 GAB Sting cost as much as an upcoming Tugboat? I don't think so.

The accessories isn't exactly as premium as they used to be like Chip has named. I hear you. I said it in the past I think this second coming of DM was more about the names than it was the moments. Meaning with the exception of the replacements (Taker and Austin) these DM were Sting, Hogan, Razor and Flair all were bigger names. Sure with the exception of the Starrcade Sting who had all new parts besides the arms probably could have been regular Elites. But Mattel probably said let's make their first Mattel figures special ones. All names listed the DM were out before their Basics/Elites. Although it was nice that Sting's two were defining moments in his career.

I think people forget that the DM line is supposed to be for figures that have a high deco or have an elaborate costume, which justifies the higher price point. I can't justify a Goldberg or Daniel Bryan for example figure in the line which can be easily slotted in the regular elite line. Elite 26 Ultimate Warrior Defining Moments Ultimate Warrior .....

As some people said I think the Summerslam 2015 Seth Rollins could be a good choice, it could come with the belts, a vest, and a chair

A DM figure should at the very least properly represent the Moment they are defining. For example Surfer Stong, the back of the card itself tells you he won the WCW title wearing that attire yet the figure only comes with that god awful rubber jacket.

I'm actually shocked they haven't signed angle to a legends deal yet... Even if they don't want his to perform... There's so much they could do with his Merch, dvd set, performance center help for the new people, and figures!

I definitely want White Rollins with the vest (most important to me) and two belts.
We also neeeeed IYH: DX Shawn with all his entrance gear.
Has anyone mentioned Finn Balor here at all? Tokyo when he won the belt was absolutely a Defining Moment, the attire would warrant the price, and the figure would sell like crazzzzyyyy. Also, not as big of a defining moment, but the Takeover: Dallas attire with the blue attire, butcher coat, and chainsaw would be so sick too but I'm guessing (read as praying) we'll get that as a regular elite minus the coat and chainsaw.

It depends on how they do it. Cloth with actual chain links, yes. Rubber with snap together peg, no.
