Because I want the HBK figure, I'm going to suck it up and buy another Austin elite (a new face scan would have been nice).

This whole set is great besides the incentive to get the whole set, the irony Lol - very true. Really wish they would do a Gorilla Monsoon or Eric Bischoff BAF...

Any word on what the back of that Austin vest looks like?

I'm more excited about this set than really any other that Mattel has done in a long time. That said, it probably won't reach my local Wal-Mart until 2024 which means I'll have to hope for some help on this one (or the bay).

Wish they would have changed the headscan on Steamboat. Still no Steamboat with a headband.

Thanks, MESH. I guess he wore that during a period when I wasn't watching wrestling. Don't remember it.

I believe it was his first Stone Cold vest that he wore during the summer of 1996 just after they started going away from the ringmaster gimmick. He also had that design on the back of his trunks for a brief time in 1996 (pick below). I believe by the end of 1996, Austin started wearing his more traditional vests with the silver skulls and writing on it (Austin, SOB, 3:16, etc).

It would have been different for those that have other Austin figures.

Do we have any confirmation as to what torso this Jake has?
Granted, I'll likely be keeping the vest on most of the time anyway, but i'm really hoping it's not a ripped torso.
Honestly, at this point in his career, the torso Harley Race has would be the most accurate

I'm going to try to get Race and Steamboat and Steamboat for sure. Jake is a maybe. I wish Austin looked a little more different from his other Elites. A new or different head sculpt would have helped a lot.

That suit body would be perfect for a DX Rick Rude I hope we get a BAF Rude in a suit soon...Such an easy one for them to do.

Austin is 6'0" in real life. Foley is more like 6'2" and HBK has been smaller than then like 5'10" at most. Wwe always bill their stars by more than they really are, just look at Kane, the guy is 6'8" and is billed at 7' I know the WWE says the wrestlers are taller than in real life, usually by 2 inches, I was just saying from this picture it looks like Shawn is shorter than Austin by 3-4 inches. I know Shawn was billed as 6’1” and Austin was billed as 6’2” because it’s on one of the first WWE posters I ever got in 2006

Back in the 90s they billed him as 6 feet even.

Real excited to pick up that steamboat, but I'll probably pass on the rest.

Zack’s got all the fun stuff to play with. Harley Race. Rick Steamboat. The real-life Chelsea Green. Paint me purple because I’m jelly.

I mainly want that Harley Race to put on a J.R body to manage WCW Vader with the title.

I really wish they would retire that three button blazer. Maybe it's a minor detail, but I feel like it's so inaccurate every time they use it.

I've been saying this for months (probably a few times on this board!!!) The worst part is that they have an open jacket and a two Button blazer, but they seem to refuse to use them!
