Since Bill confirmed that we are going to get a Andre the Giant Elite Flashback this year I have been trying to figure out what period the flashback will be from. Since he mentioned the new figure will be different than the Mattycollector figure I am guessing we will not have a black "machines" tights Andre. Probably not a later version that was blue with the huge pork chop sideburns. I am hoping for a Wrestlemania I version of Andre from the Body Slam Challenge. Have the figure come with a classic logo duffel bag that he pulled the money out of and threw into the crowd. Any other memorable Andre version out there?

Everything the same except it'll probably be a double shoulder strap singlet.

A mid-70's to early 80's face Andre with badass fro would be fine with me.

They could do a (much) better job on the head sculpt and just release the same thing if you ask me. I love Andre.

I wish it were just the same figure. I missed out on him previously and hes just way too expensive now... if they did just slightly re-sculpt his face and then released it as is that would be great... honestly, I don't know that I'd be into a fro one or even a blue, the Matty Collector one is just his most iconic look to me.

Andre never wore a double shoulder strap singlet, only reason his first CS figure had the double strap, was because Jakks used a R3 Big Show body.

I would like a Big fro blue tights one, but am okay if they just re-release the previous one in blue though. Wish the singlet was molded on though.

I love the matty version, it's the look I remember him in the most (maybe because it's his Hasbro lol). Unless they do something really impressive or drastically different, I'll likely pass on this next one. I am happy for the peeps who missed out getting another shot at him, and don't blame mattel for putting him out again, but honestly I'd rather see that spot go to somebody else who hasn't had a figure yet.

in reality it will probably just be a painted singlet

in reality it will probably just be a painted singlet I think a sculpted, painted single-strap singlet would be preferable to a cloth one, if it's just going to mark up the body anyway. |
