The Ruthless Aggression era was probably one of my favorite eras in wrestling, and one of my favorite factions that included some of my all time favorite wrestlers was Evolution. I was wondering if anyone has/could make a list of all the Elites of Triple H, Flair, Batista, and Orton that Mattel has made that represent this time frame? I know we got a few Basics, but for the sake of this thread, I'm strictly talking about Elites. Off the top of my head I can name a few, but was wondering if there is anymore that I'm forgetting? Thanks in advance! Here's my list (from what I can remember):
-Triple H (Fan Central, WrestleMania 35 series, Decade of Domination)
-Randy Orton (E49 (technically this is after Evolution, but I'll count it anyway), Fan TakeOver)
-Batista (Hall of Champions (like E49 Orton, technically isn't Evolution, but I'll count it since it's from the 2005 time frame))
-Ric Flair (?)

The most recent fan takeover Orton is most representative of his Evolution time.
I would say there really is no Batista.
Trips has a few. Wrestlemania (purple trunks), TRU Fan Central (red trunks), Walmart DOD (injured quad biker shorts/Summerslam 03 look)
Flair prob is whichever one came with the Mania 24 robe (was it defining moments?) the only “old man flair” we’ve gotten.

Yeah the DM flair for sure and if they made that basic batista from the network spotlight 5 pack? Into an elite we’d be all set

I would absolutely love an Evolution 4-pack.

I guess really you could use any Old Man Flair; he really wasn't to bold with attires then.
He wore the Black Trunks with red or white font; sometimes the Red trunks; but he really didn't differ to much.
We pretty much our complete on Early Evolution for HHH. A white boot Triple H would be nice; and maybe shaved; bearded; lemmy beard would literally be a god sent. A blue one would be kinda cool too.
Batista we pretty much don't got jack. I never really liked Early Batista; but I am shocked we didn't get one. I guess the one where he is the WM 21 attire; I think it is? is your closest.
The Legend Killer Orton from one of the Elite series back in 2015-2016; serves more as a good 2005/Early 06 Orton. But it's close enough; the Blue one we are getting is the best now for that era.

If you’re talking initial Evolution run the only elites we have are Randy and Triple H. The best of my knowledge I don’t think there’s been a Batista or Flair from that time period. I think the closest you can get is maybe the retirement DM Flair. For Batista, maybe the HOC one but that’s technically from WM21 after the split. I think they made TRU 5-pack with Batista in evolution gear but unfortunately it was a basic.

I'm not too too familiar with this but, if you wanted to get creative, headswap a Summerslam Flair head onto a flashback suited Flair body. That might work for him if you wanted to go the non-ring gear look.

I took a picture of Evolution in my factions thread here...like PJ I use the basic Summerslam Flair.
The belts hide Batista's incorrect trunks. But dammit the Mattel Raw tag titles are very small....

DOD HHH (preferably with a leg swap), Fan Takeover Orton, DM Flair and there’s no Batista from 2003-4 but the HOC would be the closest

That might work for him if you wanted to go the non-ring gear look. Corey Graves works best for an Evolution suit. You need to hand swap and paint over the neck tattoos tho.  |
