Thanks to the Mattel design team we now know that there is a current elite rock in the works. I am so excited about the news, just wondering ur thoughts.
Do you think he'll be released in a defining moments or part of the legends line?
If it's a DM fig would rather have him in the I bring it attire from his return at raw or his wrestlemania track suit?

I doubt Defining Moments, since there's already one.
I honestly see it being released as either an Exclusive (WWESHOP has yet to have it's own exclusive figure) or in the Elite series. Mattel knows there is money to be made.

I think he will be released as a basic and Elite style.

I'd be fine with glasses, sleeveless "I BRING IT" shirt and track pants - something a bit more tight fitting than the Kofi ones.
One little thing I hope they do is switch up The Rock's skintone since he's got a much lighter complexion than the current Rock figures.

I hope it's in the normal Elite line, that way we can get it at a good price point instead of paying outrageous online prices for it. That is, of course, provided that we can all find it at retail  |

I just hope Rock has given permission for them to use his new Tattoo, ’New Elite Rock’ doesn’t necessarily mean he is confirmed to have the tribal tattoo.
Only reason being, Rock designed the Tribal tattoo himself and owns the designs copyright - he has yet to give anyone permission to use it - Jakks figures, SvR video games etc.

The fig with the guitar. |

I think the WM track suit with the I Bring It shirt underneath or in the package plus all the tats and a new head would be perfect

There was a jakks Rock released with the tat. The fig with the guitar. It wasn’t the exact tattoo - Rock didn’t give them permission. It was just a copy of the tattoo - it wasn’t accurate, it had thick black lines and was pretty much just squiggles to try and make it look the same. |

Idk about u guys but if rock doesn't have his new Samoan tat It would def b a fail. I don't think Mattel would release him if they didn't have permission to do it, so I'm gonna assume new tat n head scan will be included.

But I feel with Rock’s return - he’s going to be a little more laid back about his tattoo etc. So here’s hoping he gives Mattel the rights to use it. Thank god Rock didn’t give Jakks the rights to his tattoo - Imagine if they had exclusive rights to the Tribal tattoo and then now, Mattel couldn’t use it. Hopefully the Elite Rock will be awesome. |

Totally agree. Mattel has been good at giving us what we want which jakks just kept missing. This def is gonna b a highly anticapted release. |

I was about to ask about this in the Ask new questions thread. This is great news. Hope Mattel heavy packs this figure as it's bound to fly off the shelves.

If Mattel wants money, they will put this in a 2-pk WM28 Exclusive with John Cena.

Where did the Mattel folks post this? Maybe I haven't been on the board enough in the last two days.

Hopefully we get an Elite Rock with: - full samoan tats - Ring gear I don´t need a Rock with molded jeans and shirt (to cover his tats)  |

I'm hoping it'll be a standard elite with molded track pants (because Rock hasn't appeared in trunks in seven years, and fabric pants always looks bad at this scale) and a removable "I Bring It" t-shirt.
