I preferred The Outlaws when they first started. I was always kind of hoping for a similar figure to this, but with white instead of the green. I'm just pumped it has braids, unlike the BCA figure from back in the day that Jakks cheaped out on. Think about how long ago the last jakks road dogg was and how far technology has increased and also costs nowadays of course you will get better details etc

Figures they change the packaging once I start to get into collecting Elite's MOC... I personally think this new packaging is butt ugly, but to each his own. Should be saving me some money in the future at least.

I dont understand the logic that goes into this hobby...
Mattel claims poverty when they can't give CM Punk a shirt, they also claim the cost of cloth goods for toys is through the roof.
So with Road Dogg we get TWO rubber shirts....when in fact he never wrestled his entire WWE career without a shirt on, so what's the point of removeable? And now it's 2 shirts....which probably took money away from other figures in the series. Road Dogg is gonna sell no matter what, they could have really made this simple. Tag belt (like what came with Arn & Tully) and one rubber shirt. Done. Everyone's happy.
it's still a cool figure and im still gonna buy it, but i just dont understand the decision making sometimes.

But BCAs were the last kind of figures I collected, so naturally I'm impressed by the vast difference. I was really trying to make the point that I wanted black and white pants and maybe a bandana instead of the bucket hat.

Hate Plastic Shirts so much!
But the figure looks great! I can't tell in the pic but I just hope hope hope that the head hasn't been JBL'd (made too small)

I agree, I would of liked to of seen a classic tag belt with Road Dogg instead of a 2nd shirt. Im hoping that Billy Gunn will have a classic belt included with his figure. Im hoping Warrior comes with a blue globed winged eagle as well, hope they dont skimp on that one.

I agreed with you that it would be better if both Road Dogg and Billy Gunn come with classic tag belt. But seeing Road Dogg with 2 rubber shirts, I think they will have Billy Gunn come with a rubber shirt and a bandana.

The rubber shirts don't bother me much, but this was yet another missed opportunity by Mattel to get us an Attitude Era style microphone! For an era that had SO MANY guys known for amazing promos (Rock, Austin, Jericho and Road Dogg himself to name a few), it's a shame we don't have a couple AE styled mics to go with them! Also, this makes me have high hopes that the E27 Billy Gunn figure will include two classic tag titles ala BoPPV Daniel Bryan. My fingers are crossed.

2 things,
1. Really surprised Road Dogg didn't come with a Microphone! Not complaining, just surprised.
2. Looks like they did away with the first in the line part on the packaging. Kinda bums me out as I liked that for the first time figures.

Figure looks great, but that photoshopped cartoon pic on the side of the box looks awful. I would've rather had another accessory than the exact same D-X shirt we got with E23 Triple H, or at least a different design on the extra shirt, but whatever. Why not give him the 90s Intercontinental Title since that exact attire is what he wore at Wrestlemania 15 when he retained it against Shamrock, Venis and Goldust?

What is Road Dogg's source? He stole it from the factory? I would delete this thread, I dont want him to get in trouble or anything.

Excuse my language.... yes! Can't wait for this figure. Sucks that the shirts are rubber but cool that they gave him swappable shirts. but instead of another rubber dx shirt, they could've added a microphone and water bottle. Or better... a tag title!! Hopefully Badass Billy comes with one.

Either way I'm so glad they're releasing these flashbacks! Been trying to log in everyday just to see any news on Road Dogg, Rikishi and of course the Badass Billy Gunn!

I hope those shirts don't pop apart at the buttons when you bend the torso.
Figure looks decent so far. Happy they chose the WWE '13 attire.

So it's just a plain torso under the shirt instead of a molded on shirt? And the packaging is huge.
Easy pass.
