I had 2 preordered and had assumed it would end up being hHh. All Triple H & HBK I buy two, one to keep MOC. After seeing what they decided on I may end up buying four. 1. Keep as is 2. MOC 3. I am terrible at torso cracking but have wanted a figure with molded jeans to put the DM jean/leather jacket on. The cloth jenas look terrible. I had an Austin but the skin tone doesn’t match Hunter. 4. To make a street clothes HBK. On a side note, anyone know off the top of their heads if HBK & HHH use the same skin tone The DM jacket won't match those jeans at all. It needs the lighter blue

Then we have an Elite 23 DX Triple H that is one part 1997 and one part 1998 when he invaded WCW (the helmet and megaphone). Basically covers an 8 month span of his career (August '97 to April '98). No. The elite 23 Triple H figure is in his WrestleMania XV tights. Even the two-pack with Road Dogg is in 1999 tights. The only figure of him from 1998 prior to this new one is the SummerSlam 98, as far as I can recall.

The only figure of him from 1998 prior to this new one is the SummerSlam 98, as far as I can recall. Yeah, that was a typo... I messed up the dates big time there. I meant August '98 to April '99... hence the last line of my comment "Our elite figure collection is missing a Triple H from most of 98, 99, 00, and 01." I know he was out injured for the later half of '98, but he did use a similar "H" design on a few trunks when he did wrestle in '98... just not the same exact color... then I think he debuted the hHh trunks quite soon after Mania in '99. So updated... Network Spotlight could realistically cover 95 - most of 97. Best of Attitude Era now covers that missing chunk of '98.... April '98 to August '98. Basic SummerSlam August '98 Elite 23 August '98 to April '99 A hHh would then still cover the huge gap up until 2002.

I think it is to go with the Road Dog and the Billy Gunn figures being released. In one the videos the attire is when hHh announced them into DX. It was not what we were hoping for I do think they will do the hHh figure on the main line as it will sell.

I'm not saying anyone is wrong for wanting the hHh attire because there are plenty of things that I love or want and no one else would probably get it or care. But the jacket looks amazing on this figure and the hHh figure would just be another figure in black. Fan Central Triple H is the perfect Triple H figure IMO, so I'd much rather have the street gear one (Ducks and runs before everyone starts shooting at me).

Weird side comment I'm about to make but I like how you guys put "hHh" to define his 2000 look because of the logo on his trunks haha
I'm not that upset over it, I grew up around the TTL days so I welcome all street gear. Top requested attires have been made.. IYH DX Shawn, Amrican Badass Taker, FB Jericho. So it's only a matter of time we will get the hHh gear. Bill does listen.

This promo constantly plays in my head when I see this figure.

Good call.

I will buy one, but didn’t need one. So far all of the DX looks I’ve wanted for HHH have been basics... The hHh trunks in silver or gold is like the only look we’re missing from an almost 2 year period.

Yea but it was never really a good scan to begin with, it reminds me of that hideous early jakks sculpt

the figure is a great execution of what it is supposed to be and really the only reasons it's getting hate is because of the hype for a hHh and that it's street clothes. By to me it seems like the BOAE Line is showcasing more than just matches.
