Not dx. I saw him post on twitter so mattel PAC is coming. Hopefully this opens up a chance for Scott hall. Unfortunately it's gonna take a lot more than Sean Waltman signing a deal to put Scott Hall back in Mattel's good list.

You guys are going to be surprised to hear this (maybe) but I wasn't as big an X-Pac fan until after the initial European title run. That red and black outfit doesn't do it for me. My absolute FAVORITE X-Pac outfit is the neon-red/white pre-Kane and tag champs with Kane outfit a la Summerslam 1998: I'd say it was when he was most over with EVERYONE and it was cool in that it kind of set him apart in a group that was usually mostly neon-green. He was still clearly DX but the red gave him a uniqueness that I don't think he had otherwise. I do, however, know that DX = neon green so as much as I love the outfit and would love to see a Mattel treatment, I'm not expecting it. The second coolest to me is the green on the inside when he was carrying that energy drink around: I'll be happy with whatever it turns out to be, even the outfit Jakks went with as I just think the Ruthless style didn't work well for his body type so whatever his new figure will look like, it'll look better. That being said, the red and black is last on my list. For the record I hated the term X-Pac heat but it seems like it has died down after all these years. I absolutely loved how great a job he did getting everyone in an arena SO irritated SO quickly. It wasn't because people wanted him to go away, it's because they wanted to see him get creamed. Underrated and underappreciated. There's also always this:

Cool news, thanks for posting. Personally I'm hoping to see a NWO Syxx flashback in his "Thug" attire, like this: I always felt disappointed that Jakks never made a Syxx in Classic Superstars.

The thing about Waltman is that he has a few different personas that would be worthy of the FB treatment. 123 Kid, X-Pac red, X-Pac green, and Syxx are all figures I'd love to have. Problem is, FBs come out so sparsely that there's no way we'll see all those unless Mattel wind up carrying the WWE license for a decade and they run low on names. Which, hey - I'm okay with that! I'd say the immediate must is the neon green X-Pac with DX jersey. As a child of the attitude era, that was his most definitive look, I think. After that, 123 Kid in blue. Then red X-Pac or Syxx.

I really hope they give him his original DX gear, as immortalized in one of the hardest figures for me to ever find, the BCA Series 7 red & black XPac. God I checked like 4 TRU's daily for weeks trying to find him. At the time my school schedule wouldn't allow me to be there at any openings, so I had the lunch break hours and "on the way home" times to pick him up. I eventually did find him. Here's how it should look, with removable shades (that fit tight, not like Teddy Long's glasses) Ugh, I remember looking for that figure forever, too. I finally found it at some ripoff collector's store by my house along with Val Venis from that series. Nice to hear he signed a Legends deal. X-Pac really has turned his life around in recent years since he's finally gotten clean. Good for him. He was one of my favorites during the Attitude Era.

Easily one of my favorite figs at the time.

Maybe the themed flashbacks set is a nwo themed set. Mattel said no to dx and evolution. Did they ever say no about a nwo set.

Either way I'm happy we'll get him eventually!

And if ddp can help Scott get back on track it would be great to see.

I'd love this one :-) Neon green, removable bandanna, DX jersey and maybe shades.

Maybe the meaning of "legend" has changed over the years

If Sean Waltman signed a legends deal we can see many types of Xpac figs in the future, DX, nWo(WWE), Syxx & 123 Kid

I'd love a syxx but i know that isn't happening.

Here's how it should look, with removable shades (that fit tight, not like Teddy Long's glasses) ya i'd take that first for sure because it can straddle the line between nwo era and dx era. but oh man i want all of em. syxx, 123 kid, red dx (not really a fan of green dx)
