The purple tights are his only pre-trunks attire that I really like. They should've just done away with the stupid "significant wrestlemania" BS and made the flashbacks in their most requested attires. Also, Anyone else feel the DM Macho Man figure (right down to the body sculpt since Mattel loves to use exaggerated physiques on their figures) would be perfect for the E23 Trips? No idea why they didn't go that route. SMH.

the hair sculpt all around is atrocious but I think they did that in order to fit the helmet on it.

There shouldn't even shouldn't be a helmet accessory for him from WM. I just hope he has the braid running down the center of his hair

I actually like it. Now we have Attitude Era DX! E19 HBK and E23 HHH. The tights don't really bother me , at least they didn't add trunks.

I don't mind with Triple H as I would buy any version anyway. But I wanted the WM 16 silver hHh logo trunks or the WM17 gold hHh trunks the most. . They did lose my sale on Macho Man though. I have 2 long rights versions already and honestly I stopped liking Macho when he switched to the long tights and cowboy hat attires. So to me that's already 2 to many. If he was in WM (or any other trunks) I would have purchased at least 2. |

Oh well, could have been better but at least it's tights this time. Hopefully this isn't the last time we get a HHH Flashback.

is it just me or does the color on the tights look dark green instead of grey/silver? its just u. Since everyone else...including myself have said it looks dark blue. The purple tights are his only pre-trunks attire that I really like. They should've just done away with the stupid "significant wrestlemania" BS and made the flashbacks in their most requested attires. Also, Anyone else feel the DM Macho Man figure (right down to the body sculpt since Mattel loves to use exaggerated physiques on their figures) would be perfect for the E23 Trips? No idea why they didn't go that route. SMH. why would u say DM macho when the real answer is staring u right in the face. I kinda think they didn't want to have 2 figures that were made from the same exact parts in the same set. e23 Macho Man (same as DM). Minus the skin color....the torso and tights would be ideal for the HHH. Instead they gave him the Cena torso and HHH crotch/legs. How many times have ppl here complained that HHH figures are too muscular? And now they make the most jacked one yet. |

Even with it's flaws it's my favorite figure from series 23. Mine too, I still think it's a great figure. |

Off the top of my head, E20 Jericho and Punk were in the same series with the EXACT SAME parts besides Punk's elbow pad. Several basic figures also share the same series and body molds. It must've been some other reason, I suppose. |

This is actually my favorite from SDCC, it was the only thing that I pre-ordered. I think it looks awesome and I'm really not worried about it being 2 years prior to the Road Dogg or Billy Gunn. There are some pictures that show that the tights were green with a ton of silver, but I think just the silver was picking up on camera. I have a feeling Mattel had a look at the actual tights.

There's a DM HHH, I think the E23 HHH is actually pretty badass , I like the fact that it isn't EXACTLY the way WM 1999 attire is, the helmet and DX shirt is all pretty cool, things we never got for figures, there's plenty of chairs . I just think some ppl here focuses too hard on re-creating history.

People seriously want a wrestlemania 2000 Triple H...I mean yeah he was like the first bad guy to defend the title at a wrestlemania, but COME ON!!! that figure would be sooo close to elite 2!!!! They realized that everyone wanted a cool DX Trips!!!
For the DX shirt and helmet they probably gave him that shirt cuz they're gonna give all the DX members the shirt and helmet (Road Dogg's comin with it and billy Gunn may too)

For the DX shirt and helmet they probably gave him that shirt cuz they're gonna give all the DX members the shirt and helmet (Road Dogg's comin with it and billy Gunn may too) Yes because the hHh trunks are his Iconic look. That's what he was wearing when he broke out. Like I said in the past I wouldn't be upet with any attire from WM13-WM17. As for the accessories I think it's pretty lame to give him things he didn't use ever at any WM when were were told it was a WM themed wave. I know I had said back when they were first up for for preorder and everyone was speculating on the attires I had ranked them like this... 1. WM16 silver hHh logo with title, sledge, water bottle. 2. WM17 gold hHh with title,sledge & water bottle 3. WM13 with the green entrance robe 4. WM14 with the black entrance rob(although it was my least favorite of all the choices because they were my least favorite tights) 5. WM15 which was my favorite of the 3 long tights looks, but seeing he didn't have the title or wear one of the sweet robes was the worst choice, because he would end up so plain like the E4 Jericho. I'm a loose collector and while I hate the non-specific accessories it doesn't bother doesn't that much as I won't ever display them on him. (I'm already planning on painting them and putting them on my Neca Aliens Hudson & Hick figures if they fit) bit it sucks for MoC collectors who were expecting them to be WM themed like we were told because he isn't. |

I may not be a triple h fan..... Well I hate the guy but the figure is pretty good one of Triple h's best except some flaws hair tights body because he was never that buff maybe in the wwf title reign he had in 2000 but not at the time this figures based off of my favorite part of the figure though is the accesories the megaphone is an awesome touch we just need a tank and Billy Gunn needs a bazooka in between his legs or was that road dogg?

I think the figure looks great.....but I disagree with the choice of attire.
if it had to be a DX HHH from WM it should have been in his black/green attire of WM14.instead we get the attire that he turned on DX in.......I don't get it.
my most wanted DX HHH attire is still the RR99 one.....which is pictured above as he wore it agisnt Rock the night after.
bah.
