New Ryder Elite coming ...

Oh Zack Daddy! But Wrestlemania 32 would've been much better as an elite with the IC title & Entrance gear.
1 reason why I hate the basic line is they usually get the attire elites would look better in.

For reference:

Definitely a nice Royal Rumble 1991 Ultimate Warrior Battle Pack Series 31 + Great American Bash 1990 Sting Defining Moments mashup! Plus, it is another opportunity for an extra, custom, inaccurate jacket for the upcoming Elite figure of 1993 "USAvage" from various appearances, such as on Raw episodes & during Independence Day on board the U.S.S. Intrepid. Ah yes, the good ol', famous Body Slam Challenge whereby "Flexy Lexy" was officially anointed as a patriotic citizen of society by hip-tossing Yokozuna, as opposed to remaining a "Narcissist" of course. Yet, all the while, Luger remained a dude who was deeply in love with himself for many more years to come. That is, before he was eventually reborn, in large part thanks to his best friend, the aforementioned Stinger! Wait . . . was this supposed to be a thread about Zack Ryder? Sorry, my utmost apologies for trailing off and derailing the original topic of the conversation starter, a la Ric Flair during video game discussions, podcasts, and practically everything else in which he participates! WOOOO! You know it, bro! Now, if I can be a serious for a moment, much like Lance Storm, I do genuinely dig the fig!

After warrior we just need debut Henry! Haha

That jacket sculpt looks exactly like the one that came with DM Surfer Sting...

Man, Zack seems genuinely excited. I love that guy. His enthusiasm is so damn infectious. I'm still hoping for some Hype Bros elites, but I don't have an elite Ryder and now I can.

In the words of Funaki: "INDEED!" That attire, of course most famously worn at Vengeance 2001 in the "4 Superstars / 3 Matches / 2 Titles / 1 Champion" extravaganza, is currently my most desired figure upon the Mattel WWE wish list! I am also quite fond of that Mark Henry ring gear too, as I actually thought of making mention and/or posting a picture reference to that, myself. By beating me to the punch, you saved me the effort! It was one of the options on a fairly recent WWE . com poll for the next Elite release of him, but I chose the Nation Of Domination persona over his patriotic, debut look and the "Sexual Chocolate" era singlet. I hope my choice won, so as to complete N.O.D. sooner than later! Plus, that poll was unfortunately put up prior to people learning of a possible, official D'Lo Brown, if I recollect correctly. Timing can throw things off obviously. Anyhow, additionally, here's another American-inspired attire I wouldn't mind, which was included on a similar, Big Show-related poll:

Good for him. He hasn't gotten an elite in forever. Very very overdue, I thought we would have gotten one already.

This is better than the pity Wrestlemania moment attire
