With the recent release of the WrestleMania Elite Shawn Michaels figure (WrestleMania XII attire), it got me thinking about the possibilities of Mattel re-doing other figures in Elite form that were once released as Basics. While it's not an area they'd likely spend a ton of time on, there's gotta be a decent amount of figures/attires that collectors have already received as a Basic, but would like to see in Elite form. Especially for those of us who aren't good customizers.
What basic figure(s) would you like to see re-released as an Elite? Let's go all out here and assume that, like Mattel did with WMXII Shawn, they'll give it the full Elite treatment complete with accessories. What would you like to see?
I'll start out with my top 3:
1. Ultimate Warrior (Royal Rumble '91 USA attire) with lavender Winged Eagle and/or USA jacket. 2. Ric Flair (WrestleMania VIII attire) with red robe and/or Winged Eagle 3. Macho Man Randy Savage (WrestleMania V attire) with headband, sunglasses, orange robe and/or Winged Eagle
After listing it, mine would probably fit more into the Defining Moments line considering the robes and paint deco would likely exceed the standard Elite line, but I'm still holding out hope...

Haunted? Is that you!? 1. Basic 69 Sgt. Slaughter - Would be nice to have an Elite that's a throwback to a G.I. Joe figure I had as a kid. 2. Entrance Greats Million Dollar Man - The HoF Ted was nice, but to have an official Elite with a suit, silver w/purple trim would be nice. 3. Summer Slam Hacksaw Jim Duggan - I was after the Legends Jim Duggan for a while, and I wouldn't be crazy about having a singlet version, but to have the USA face paint on the Elite with 2x4" & flag would have been nice.

SummerSlam 2004 Randy Orton and World Champions Ultimate Warrior. My two favorite Basics, but I'd definitely buy them over again in Elite form.

That Ultimate Warrior in the neon green trunks. That should have never been a Basic. Ad a yellow strapped IC belt and take my money.

Hulk Rules t-shirt series Hogan, as well as a proper workout Hogan (instead of the canceled basic). I'd still welcome any and all Iron sheiks, including the basic attire, as well as Honky Tonk Man in blue. Also, don't we still need a purple trunks HHH based off the Summer Slam heritage series? Haunted? Is that you!? 1. Basic 69 Sgt. Slaughter - Would be nice to have an Elite that's a throwback to a G.I. Joe figure I had as a kid. It's pretty great that we got sunglasses and the hat with his basic, but yeah, an elite could deliver on the whistle, too. Heck, maybe even a baton.
