I don't know if Luger is popular enough for them to make multiple figures. He's one of those guys that never really reached full potential. Theres no chance RSC would make an exclusive of Lex, when they have access to Rey Mysterio, RVD, HBK, Undertaker, Macho Man, Dude Love, Jericho, or Kanes. man if this poll isn't a perfect example of this hobby and its people....yes "USA Lex" won....but it wasn't any kind of landslide over 2nd place...and all the others are still close. Will really be interested in seeing what Luger we actually end up with Ur right. Just because USA Luger won.....doesn't necessarily mean they will make him. The american flag designs could be costly. What if he's in the same wave as ur boy, CM Punk? Who eats up alot of budget. The Narcissist mirror and cape could be expensive too. i wouldn't be surprised if they just went w/ NWA or NWO, because it would be way cheaper for them to make. Either way, i'm happy we're getting him. Whatever attire they decide to go with. also, I was surprised to see NWO Wolfpac Luger get so many votes. |

Lex was at his peak in the NWA days. His best matches and moments happened there. Super American Lex was the worst Hulk Hogan retread there ever was.

I think he was great from 95-97ish. Not as good as he'd been (as a wrestler and character) in WWF in 93/94 but still excellent. In late 98/99 he put on loads more muscle and ended up losing a lot of his talent (just like Triple H did). Plus WCW seemed to just be getting unwatchable at that time. Luger's mid-late career was unfortunately plagued by poor booking decisions. He had the potential to be one of the biggest stars in the world. What I also like about Luger is that he was actually a really good worker, I don't think he gets enough credit for that. I was glad to read in Bret's book that he seemed to think a lot of him. |

Thanks to everyone that voted on this.
Unless something changes drastically it will be the Allied Powers version of Lex Luger that debuts as an Elite Flashback in the line. This was the direction I was leaning towards to begin with, as it seemed the most appropriate for an Elite level execution. I will however be going with a longer haired head sculpt on the figure, as opposed to the closer cropped hair from this same period.

We get the USA gimmick.....and w/ the longer hair it will make it easy for any NWA/WCW/Narcissist fix-ups. |

And his partner of course... |

Please make him the same skin tone as Texas Tornado so I can do a head (and maybe torso swap depending on which you use) to make a proper 1991 Heel Total Package! |

Sit back, relax and get ready to feel. Lex was at his peak in the NWA days. His best matches and moments happened there. Super American Lex was the worst Hulk Hogan retread there ever was. I agree with everything you said, but I still voted for Allied Lex. |

@ MattelDesignTeam Someone suggested this earlier, but please don't use the Triple H/Batista torso for Lex. Cena's torso or a larger one similar to it would be great for Luger since the waistline doesn't appear as small. Even if it's something minor, I hope you guys decide to do some more fan polls in the future.  |

I still have hope for the NWO:WP running change. |
