I was thinking about how we’ve gotten multiple Bobby Heenan figures but I would personally consider his shiny sequined suit to be his most iconic. If you’re picturing The Brain, chances are you’re seeing him in either the red or black sequined suit. Got me thinking of others where Mattel has given us multiple versions of that person and yet not their definitive look. Sherri with the plain black dress and Bam Bam in either his WWF debut attire or purple flames are a couple others that come to mind. Theres also Mr McMahon in a suit, no tie, and unbuttoned jacket that we will likely never get. What else is missing?

The fact that we're 14 years into this line, he's had many figures, and we still don't have a blue trunks/blue boots Andre the Giant is utterly baffling.

If Rick Steiner got put on the back burner for something he allegedly said , you’ll see an Owen Hart/Nailz before you ever see another Vince McMahon.

Def Bam Bam Purple Flames
DDP in jeans (serious scan for that one poster)
I consider the WM6 attire/look for Brutus, but I'm sure other people consider other eras (like Dream Team)

The Fan Central is the most definitive Heenan look.

The fact that we've only got one *basic* Warrior in that green and pink promo attire is pretty weird, too. You'd think if Mattel wanted to market to the most casual of casual fans, we'd have gotten multiples of the way Warrior looked on pretty much every toy and video game during his heyday. It's wild that we've gotten stuff like the Summerslam '92 and Ultimate Maniacs singlets before even a single green/pink Elite.

X-Pac. I think his most iconic look is the green tights from his match with Shane at WM15.
Mankind. His most iconic look is Hell in a Cell, but we only have it with a bunch of thumbtacks painted on the back. I don’t like that.

The Fan Central is the most definitive Heenan look. Its definitely up there and I can see an argument for it being #1 but to me this is the look I most identify with Bobby Heenan.  |

A Trish Stratus from '02 / '03 in metallic purple with a sparkly jacket and a quality head sculpt They've made brunette Trish from the WrestleMania with Snooki TWICE somehow, but haven't touched WM19 X-Pac. I think his most iconic look is the green tights from his match with Shane at WM15. Green tights with a DX football jersey and a white & green variant would be awesome They did do the iconic attires for E27 Billy Gunn and Road Dogg, but I'd take re-dos with with the proper shades of green and the proper parts (tall boots for Billy & tanktop/DX jersey for Dogg) |

I know we got the basic, but we need a Sid Justice elite in blue trunks (RR '92 attire)
X-Pac in his WM15 attire is definitely the most iconic and we haven't gotten that yet, as someone said above
DDP in jeans as an Elite
I don't think any of the Brutus Beefcake figures we've gotten are his most "iconic" looks.
Warrior elite in the green trunks is definitely a big missing piece
We never got an Iconic WCW "Surfer" Sting
and I also wish we got a true RA Era Big Show elite (short hair headscan)

Kurt Angle, unless I missed his definitive look in figure form. Being that more than half of his career was in TNA, did Jakks already make his most iconic look??  |

Iconic and definitive are relative to the person obviously (for example, to me the definitive X-Pac look is the red and black from 98, not the 99 green/black/white).
Ones that immediately come to mind for me:
-Chris Jericho: To me, his most iconic eras are 1998 WCW and mid-2000 through Fall 2001 WWF. We never got anything for the former, and we got just before and just after of the latter.
-DDP: Like others, I consider mid-97 to mid-98 jeans/Diamond Cutter shirt/vest DDP to be his most iconic look (though, and I know I'll get yelled at, I personally would prefer a smirk over a serious face)
-RVD: 98/99 ECW.
-Dudley Boyz: 98/99 ECW (Though tying back to the relative argument, I'm sure more people would consider the Attitude Era Camo more "definitive")
-William Regal: 01/02 Brass Knicks/Commissioner era.
-Lita: 00/01 Hardyz/Team X-Treme era. (I know E41 says the attire is 2000, but to me it really doesn't capture that era)
The Steiners come to mind obviously, but not ready to put them on the list quite yet since they've only got one release each so far and had the controversy and the failed crowdfund as well. If we don't see tag Steiners at Mania or SDCC this year, then I'd them.

DDP in jeans with a cloth sleeveless diamond cutter shirt, blue vest, bonus head, abdominal tape, diamond cutter hands, and WCW US title is tailor made for a badass Ultimate figure in the MNW line. Since they already designed the UE DDP for the unproduced Nitro stage, we will now almost certainly have to get that figure first before this one, so we're stuck with that Basic figure for another decade I guess.
I'd like to think they're planning to finally do this look as an Elite in MNW, it just wouldn't have all the accessories due to budget/BAF parts.

IMO, If you’re going to do Heenan, you’ve got to do the sequin jacket, the Hollywood star jacket, and the tan sport coat with the jewels on the lapel from when he managed Flair. It’s like Savage, you’ve got to do the star trunks, the Macho King look and the neon cowboy, or it’s incomplete. |
