With Mattel releasing elite flash backs such as Kane do you think they should do variants like his black with red attire since it make take along time before/if we see them?

Yes because it would be cool to see what one you'd fine but a pain in the ass to "full set collectors."

Yes, I think this would help sell more of certain characters. (Waiting for the "Tell that to the 30 Elite Jerichos shelf warming at my local Target")

YES, and I was thinking the same exact thing with Kane. All they gotta do is invert the colors and there's an instantly cool variant.

If we are going with Kane, DX Colors or bust.

No. As In Flashbacks/ gimmick changes then yes.

I know some would be a lot different but it would be cool. they could do Papa/Kama maybe even Godfather, Bossman in black, Booker T in Harlem Heat. Even guys like the Undertaker and HBK could have the simple variants. |

Only if they're evenly distributed. My inability to find a Green Ted Jr. still drives me crazy. I must have seen at least two dozen purple ones in various stores across SoCal.

I think it would be a good idea.
Especially if they want me to spend even more money.
1 variant per Elite set would be ideal. Even if it's something as simple as an attire color change (like Ted DiBiase).

I would like it, weould be nice if Mattel just made more figures that were "rare" for something to hunt for that you might not usually get

YES, I was thinking this a while back. Easy color changes would make great variants such as Jericho and Ted. I got both because I like variants.
If they made the inverted Kane, that would have been so awesome and probably a really hot seller. I was surprised that Mattel didn't do that though, oh well. I'm hoping a inverted Kane for a future release.

No. Not with the way Mattel distributes the product. Variants would be a logistical nightmare and entire areas would never receive certain variants.
I only want variants if they get their distribution straightened out and everyone has a chance. Otherwise, forget it.

I say yes, its a great way for those of us who like as many alternate attires we can get to get more and gives people more choices out of the sets that come out.

Yes, I love variants. It gives the consumer more of a variety and can keep from making a whole nother figure for a different colored attire.

Yes! It worked out pretty great for TNA Marvel and it gives the wrestler an extra attire and it would save money for Mattel. It's a win-win the way I see it honestly. (: Only downside is the searching and the high price people would put for the 'variant" figure.

I would love if there was more variants. 1 per series doesnt seem to be to difficult and it would most likely boost profits for Mattel.

with how many variants Mattel does in the DC line, I was sure we'd see more. I would have bought the inverted Kane along with the reg. In order for this to work, it needs to be logical tho...Harlem Booker or Godfather would include new pieces to be made, and more money put in the assortment, which would mean they would have to cheap out on a Vac-Metal belt. However, Sin Cara & Sin Cara Black variant would be amazing.

Very awesome idea. I adore Hasbro's wealth of variants with the Marvel Universe line. Could be very fun.

Mattel need to make that Kane, it hasnt been represented in figure form in over a decade. It would be easy to do too and would make good use of the specific e12 moulds they made for him.
Id like to see more variants, just attire colour changes are necessary.
