Yes, black tights and red sash. Is the red sash and strings made of cloth this time? Yes. From the pictures I have seen, it appears to be cloth.

I hope to see them soon in my area. One of my Walmart stores pulled all WWE toys to the clearance area and left E54, Basic 78 & 79. Didn't check the other peg tags, was happy enough to find Usos and Charlotte Elites l, and Basic Natalya and Nia Jax.
Will be buying all of these and the basics BAF set, will prolly sell Yoko, head swap my basics Worrior, and sell all the BAF basics. I'm most exited for Syxx, love seeing my Nitro collection growing.

When did Yoko wear those tights? Not sure what the event was, but found this picture: Seems there was some Hasbro figure of it as well. Edit: Actually, that picture is so poor quality, I'm not even sure that's the same attire lol That doesn't appear to be the same attire, it looks like black tights, black sash, and red string/tassle's. I've never seen him wear that attire, thanks for the picture. As for the figure upcoming figure, I have also never seen him wear black tights with a red sash before either. The only place I ever saw him in that attire was on the photo used for his Hasbro figure, never saw him wear that attire in a match.

Where are you from? Everyone in America has a Walmart, Dollar General and a Subway within walking distance. Nah there's plenty of dead zones for Walmart. Up until relativly recently there were literally 0 in Chicago due to union issues. I swear there's like 8 Target's for any 1 Walmart in the city. Can confirm. I have like 2 Wal-Marts around me, but 4 Targets.

So jealous of that Syxx, but also so close to just giving up collecting Mattel figures due to all the figures I want not being in sold in Canada. It's beyond frustrating at this point. I totally feel your pain (being in the UK)... 90% of the things I want lately are US exclusives - it really takes the fun out of things. I'm hesitant to trade with people too, after sending gregrules420 over $200 worth of stuff, with nothing in return... What happened with gregrules420? Sounds crazy you sent him all that stuff for nothing.

The curse of the collector -- I've definitely been winding down on my WWE Mattel purchases lately (like a lot of us). But then I see this pictures and I'm all "oooooooooooooooooh" ... lol

Well, I don't really want to derail the thread - but basically, I sent him over $200 worth of figures last February and have had nothing in return...

That Syxx looks tremendous. I was not expecting him to look that good. I remember seeing him at Ringside Fest and thinking he was too skinny. This one is perfect. The sunglasses is a nice touch as well.

FINALLY! We get the long awaited Mean Gene figure, it looks awesome! I can't believe Mattel actually named this line 'Flashback series' LOL I not really liking the new packaging design but love the flashback logo that these sets come with. Alot of the members on here have been clamouring for a flashback line and it looks like we finally got one! Hopefully this one does better than previous ones and if they put together some decent sets then I thing it will do well. This first set has a nice mix of figures from different eras (80s, New Gen) and different promotions (WWF, WCW). This is a good formula and if they stick with it going forward then I can see this line being around long term. Hopefully in future sets they throw in an ECW flashback as ECW has been MIA in the Mattel line IMO (for the most part). They have released quite a few WCW flashbacks but not many ECW ones for whatever reason?!
