There are pictures of a match where he wore black tights. I don't know of the "thong"/center piece was red though.

he may have wore it on an episode of superstars or some crap. they had to spit out another Yoko somehow, they prob should've just re-released the red one.

They had some options, white belt with red tights (debut), Red belt with white tights (First Ever RAW) or Black belt and black tights and save some money

I've searched pictures for a match where he wore that combination (Black Tights, Red Mawashi) and have not been able to find one, the only picture i have ever seen of him in that attire is the picture on the WWF Hasbro card. It is possible that he wore that for promotional pictures but never in a match. Or he only wore that combination at house events where pictures were not taken.

This is what the Walmart figure should of been I agree, I think that would have looked great. He had a few other attires they could have chosen to do that would have been good as well. Its kind of hard to see, he is wearing black tights, black mawashi, and red tassels.

Never seen a full match, but a very short clip of him wearing this surfaced in his HOF package video at 36 seconds. Pops up again at 40 and 41.

I'm probably in the minority, but I love the figure! I had the black/red Yoko Hasbro as a kid, and I love that Bill has remade a significant chunk of the Hasbro roster in those attires. Getting the purple/black Rude, green suited DiBiase, and black/red Yoko all at once was like being a kid again.
It was just such a different time in the business. Raw was only an hour so fewer guys appeared each week, WWE ran a ton of house shows (and I think they would still run some 2-show days on the weekends), and "special event" attires weren't really that common. There were a lot of guys like Bret, Warrior, Yoko and to a lesser extent Savage who had mix and match attires, which was probably a great way to avoid having to constantly wash your ring gear. Some looks made it onto tv or PPV's, but I'm sure some of these looks were work for promo shoots and house shows but never made tv.
Today everything seems to be geared towards merch and tshirt sale cycles and wearing basically the same look each week.

You can tell people's ages around here. Yoko wore that outfit a lot more than the white & red combo. He wore this outfit during his numerous squash matches he had on WWF Superstars. Good luck finding out when because Youtube doesn't have every match he did nor episode of Superstars.

Good luck finding out when because Youtube doesn't have every match he did nor episode of Superstars. Exactly. While Raw was the A show, the gap between the A and B shows wasn't anything like it is today. You were just as likely to see a upper card wrestler in a squash match on Superstars as you were on Raw, and Superstars would have highlights of most of the biggest storyline developments on Raw anyway. I was a lot more likely to watch Superstars than Raw until Nitro came on the air and I could flip back and forth between two wrestling shows. I think Superstars was on around 10 or 11am on Saturdays in my area, right after morning cartoons and kid shows.
