I personally think the New Generation started the day after Summerslam 1992. That card was very transitional, especially the main event. It cleary ushered in the '' New Generation''.
I feel like the era came to a close at Survivor Series 1997 in Montreal. The night after is clearly the beginning of the '' Attitude Era''.
So with that said, what figures has Mattel made that represent the WWF from Mid 1992- late 1997?
If you're up to it, i'd love to know when these attires were worn. Especially Diesel's E16 attire!

Bam Bam Bigelow (Looks to be from around Wrestlemania XI)
King Kong Bundy (same can be said)
Big Bossman (Was around for a little bit in '93)
Bushwackers
Papa Shango
Diesel
Bret Hart (Ringside Exclusive)
Yokozuna
Kamala
Rick Martel
Jim Duggan
There's others that fall into the 93-97 timeline you listed but the attires dont match. Like..... Randy Savage, Ultimate Warrior, Goldust (regular line), Vader, Nikolai Volkoff, Jerry Lawler, Mr. Perfect.
Also, just personally, I wouldnt start the "new generation" Until late 1992. Either the '92 Survivor Series or when Bret won the title from Flair. SummerSlam and the months following it were still build around Warrior, Savage and Flair, guys from the Golden Era. Most people, including the WWE state that the Attitude Era started at King of the Ring 1996

offhand,I can think of:
Bret Hart - RSC Exclusive Pink & Black
Bret Hart - Defining Moments
Shawn Michaels - Royal Rumble Heritage
Shawn Michaels - Entrance Greats
Shawn Michaels - Elite 19
Undertaker - Entrance Greats
Undertaker - Defining Moments
Diesel - Elite 16
Stone Cold Steve Austin - Legends 1
Brian Pillman - Legends 2
British Bulldog - Legends 3
Yokozuna - Elite 15
Kane - Elite 12
Vader - Legends 3
The Model Rick Martel - Legends 5
Kamala - Legends 2
King Kong Bundy - Legends online exclusive
Papa Shango - Elite 12
Mr. Perfect - Legends 3
Bam Bam Bigelow - Legends 5
The Rock - Intercontinental Championship 2-pack, technically it's for his feud right after SS 1997,but it's a good basic Rock covering his look from the summer of 1997...
Jerry The King Lawler - Elite 18 , maybe if you can get over he didn't wear that attire then,but if you remove the entrance gear...
Macho Man Randy Savage - Defining Moments , TECHNICALLY it's from WM 7,but it's still a nice figure of Savage's general type of look during this era.

i think of new gen as 93-96
Diesel's e16 attire is probably this
but they didn't add the "DIESEL" logo on the pants.
Its definately the same singlet. And he wore plain black leather pants in alot of other matches. So maybe its a mash-up.
I have never found the exact attire from the fig in any pics/vids

However, is his singlet actually silver rather than Mattel's dull gray? Or is it just the video? |

I can really see how you define that as an era. I think my favorite era in wrestling is 1989-1992, and there's still a lot of good figures yet for Mattel to do from that one, too.

89-99 for me. I think wrestling evolved a great deal in that time. They went from comic book heroes and villains to the beginning of the attitude era. WCW and WWF were both strong with stalwart headliners like Sting and Undertaker. Guys would jump from one fed to the other (like Sid, Nash, Vader, Flair). It was a great time to be a wrestling fan.
If they had combined both organizations then it would have been way too top heavy, but that was always my dream anyway: for WCW to fight WWF. Wrestling figs give me a chance to tangibly imagine that. I will buy almost anything from these eras, and hopefully we'll get all the top tag teams and world champions from both feds (eventually).

The New Generation actually did not start until 1994 at the least, maybe 95 if i even remember correctly. I know it didn't last too long. Maybe 2-3 years tops before they pulled the plug and started with the Attitude Era. The New Generation was fun as hell to watch though and that's when the Jakks BCA figures started circulating from that era anyways (They got released in 96). But I agree, I would love to see some more New Gen figs. Razor Ramon, Owen Hart, Jim Neidhart, Ahmed Johnson, Nation of Domination etc Probably won't see many of them though til the end as I have a feeling Mattel will hit us with more Attitude Era and Gimmick years stars this year and next. They will probably save the New Gen and any left over 80's guys for last.

I say New Generation started in 94, simply for the fact it was the first Hogan and Flair free year in WWF.

It'd be nice to have more figures from that era, That really was one of the best times to be a WWF fan in my opinion, But there's alot of wrestlers from that era that we will NEVER see like RAZOR RAMON i just don't understand how Jakks can make a figure of Razor but Mattel wont. Also if mattel doesn't make this purple gloved undertaker in the elite series 23! They can go to hell!

Found a pic of Diesel's singlet. Looks like the biggest match he wore it in was the match with Sid. Was it from an IYH or Raw?  Is this Silver or Gray? If so is it Silver like he wore vs Taker at WM12? Mattel made his singlet dull grey, any idea on why? |
