What’s the deal with Captain Lou’s shirt?
I guess they don’t have copyright for the vintage shirt?

Do wish RVD came with a shirt. But no big deal. He only wore a shirt backstage in some segements and never to the ring. He did wear a gi back in his early days in ECW. There's nothing missing from the ultimate..but if there was an extra is should've been the ECW HW title. How on Earth was the ECW belt not included with this? He kept both and 2 belts has been done with Ultimates a few times. There are also so few releases of it in Mattel. |

I wouldn't mind an RVD with the ECW TV title. An actual ECW throwback, not a WWECW one.

I'm loving how Brock and RVD look MOC!!! Mattel is on a roll right now in my opinion.

Why the hell is Brock’s head so comically small? It makes the figure look completely awful. Ultimate Batista also looked off for the same reason. Wish they would get creative with Brock's trunks. He had several designs in the first 3 months of his WWE run, and later on in 2004 the skull design. I’m h for sure! It’s like the opposite of what they did with the series 100 basic rock lol |

He wasn’t presented the ECW title until the Tuesday after ONS. I would’ve liked it included, but the ultimate is historically accurate to ONS. |

I find it odd to think that Captain Lou won't have an Elite relatively soon. Off the top of my head I can't think of anyone that Mattel has made in one of the tertiary lines (Retros, MOTU, Superstars, etc.) who hasn't appeared in some form in the Elite to Basic line (and let's face it, Lou's not getting a Basic)

Why are people thinking Capt Lou will only get a Superstars fig? Why would he only get that fig and not an elite?

He could be paired with Davey and tag belt, Muraco (if he’s still under a deal) and IC, Valentine and IC, or Richter and Womens. |

I could be wrong, but my impression was there haven't been figures that hard to find in a long time...

When they finally come out, they really haven’t been hard to find. All of their AEW exclusives have been easy to get. All the Superstars have been easy to get. Every RA thus far haven’t been hard to obtain. The Hollywood wave 1 figs were plentiful. Nada was scarce at first but eventually was available online for the longest time. |

A lot of wrestlers made their own t-shirts at the time. It's possible that someone other than the WWF made the original t-shirt that he wore and that's why they can't make the exact shirt. It looks like the same thing with the Panther t-shirt for Piper. |
