More so than the body, I am still hoping for curly haired Rick Rude. Don't get me wrong, I really do like the last Elite we got which resembled Rude from '88 but if we ever get a WrestleMania V Rude with airbrushed Intercontinental tights, that would have to be in contention for greatest attire/deco on a figure ever. I'd take pink (actual Mania V attire) or yellow:

We absolutely need a Rude with the airbrushed IC Belt. Unfortunately for you "Elite-ists", this would best be executed on a Basic figure. And as other have said, bigger arms.

Your exactly right. My biggest hope for e40 was for them to give him the Dolph arms.Those seem like they were made for rude. They are that perfect. He needs a long chest. Rude had a very lanky torso. If they ever address these then I think we could have the perfect Rude. Its like they give guys like KO and Dolph these giant arms and then give rollins and rude tiny arms. You have a bunch of choices at your disposal, Mattel! Use them!

I love both, but they need some manly ass manly chest hair. 💪
He's simply ravishing. Oooowwwwwwwwww!

I have both of them and I'd like more. He wore really cool attires, too. So, I'd definitely buy more; especially if they were Elite figures.

I love Rick Rude the wrestler and think it's a travesty Mattel hasn't done more of his tights. I think the body of the figure is perfect, it's the legs that's too big. Rude was jacked but he had skinny legs. Jake the Snake is the same way, he had skinny shins.

I'd probably give him the Macho mans torso. I'm more concerned about his hair to be perfected on his future releases.

^^^ I couldn't agree more, let's get an intercontinental airbrushed tights version with the belt and perm, that's the quintessential Rick Rude in my opinion. I'd love for Beefcake, jake the snake and Rick Rude to get the macho man and warrior treatment with plenty of repaints because of all the varied attires they wore throughout their careers.
**edit*** and a JYD in red just for me 😉

Cant think of any torso that is ripped like Rude especially in the abs. I think both releases have been pretty solid.

I think both figures are great minus the first one missing detail on the back of the tights. My problem with the rude figures are his arms, they're just too small. A bigger torso would of been nice, not too massive but chiseled. I wish I hope they give us another one with arms at the very least. Oh, one more thing it needs kneepads!

Rude was one of the greatest of all time. the last elite is ok. the first legends release was not good. so ya he needs something better to do him justice. He had a big chest and big arms. he was jacked top heavy, not bottom heavy. One of my gripes with mattel is that sometimes they dont really capture the essence of a character. I love Rick Rude the wrestler and think it's a travesty Mattel hasn't done more of his tights. I think the body of the figure is perfect, it's the legs that's too big. Rude was jacked but he had skinny legs. Jake the Snake is the same way, he had skinny shins. Jake and Rude need the new Lex Luger Boots. Really everyone does who had a tall boot. ...and Jake needs a dedicated buck

A poofy hair airbrushed ic title or the colorful ravishing tights with multiple colors one that Jakks Superstars did would be cool

I agree that he should be a little bigger. Sting wasn't that big and his torso is huge..rude and sting were comparable in size at times. I'd like a bunch of wcw era Rick Rudes for my collection.

I have the E40 one and I'm content with the way he looks

There is still so much that could be done. The first head scan is excellent but E40 fell victim to the cartoony sculpt issue. They could update the hair piece and do some awesome attire work and then why not, as a reason to release another ing warrior, make a battle pack of him in pink tights with IC title and have Warrior from the same match..... hell, they could even do something battlepack wise for Rude and Jake as well. The only issue I have is that he does need a bit bigger arms. His arms weren't shredded like his torso but his arms were bigger than the ones on the figure. If I could choose, I would choose the blue tights with Jakes wifes face, pink IC tights, SummerSlam 89 tights, and a straight faced/short haired, WCW title. That would just about take care of me but I won't ever turn down a Rude.

I cannibalised my Legends Rude for parts but I LOVE E40 Rude. Slightly thicker upper arms would be nice but they aren't a dealbreaker for me.
