Jakks was known for balloon arms, looks like Mattel is building a reputation for balloon bodies...

Well if thats what we're looking at for an exclusive, there better be some mind blowing accessories. Outside of a Rocky Miavia or Hollywood Rock, i think Mattel has covered enough of the in between of those two eras. Theres really not enough difference in any of his attires or looks to warrant many releases. Between the Entrance Greats, L3,DM, and basic Rock releases of that time, i would say hes been covered sufficiently. Now if we were getting a Miavia or Hollywood heel era Rock, i would be totally cool with it. But this one doesnt do much for me. A purple IC belt would sweeten the pot, and obviously some kind of shirt. But i just feel like there should be even more to it than that to make this a worthwhile exclusive. I'll reserve final judgement for the official announcement and find out exactly what accessories he comes with. Maybe the final product will be a pleasant surprise.

Guys it's not a custom, trust me. If it does end up being a custom then give me crapfor it, but I know that it's not a custom.

Obviously I will buy 2 of these but what does this have to do with clue #1 of purple and gold? Unless it's the purple IC belt?

After all this build-up, we get this sub-par Rock as an EXCLUSIVE? Well that was a complete anti-climax...

imo the only thing that would be cool about a rock exclusive in that attire would be the purple belt

Ive gone from being super hyped about this to just not giving a damn anymore. The dragging it out is turning into the Daniel Brayn "push" to the point when they finally announce it people just dont give a crap cause they're gonna be so disappointed cause its not a guy they wanted like Razor, Hogan, Flair etc. Its even getting repetitive where the same 3-5 people are just posting over and over in the thread with opinions and no foundation to make them facts. Just announce the figure already so we can move on to bitching about it. Dont say I didnt tell ya it was coming!

Outside of a Rocky Miavia or Hollywood Rock, i think Mattel has covered enough of the in between of those two eras. The only Nation Rock so far is the one that came in the belt pack with Austin. But I'd prefer them to have rereleased that in a basic series (and maybe done a basic of this WM14 one as a Mania Heritage basic) rather than this elite exclusive. Plus, Hollywood Rock would basically just be the RTWM Rock with a couple of tweaks -- this one has more variation than that, at least. But the Hollywood Rock belt buckle and guitar would be nice.

Glad somebody had the balls to post the picture. That being said, it doesn't look too good. Almost photoshopped.
They really could've saved that for a regular Elite Flashback. Can't imagine people paying the big ticket price on that.
Still hoping for a clue that could confirm/refute it.

They already had a damn nation rock in the IC belt 2 pack with Austin. Mattel said they would re-release a figure in elite form if it's already been made in basic form. I remember this because everybody wanted a WM 12 HBK elite but they said no because it's already been done in basic form.

If it ends up like that pic then i'll pass and just track down the Purple IC by itself..(if that is what it comes with)

Wow that Rock is bad. He needs that steroid torso NOW but the old one was fine for when he was in the Nation. If it comes with cool accessories I'll pick it up when they have it for $4.99 loose clearance like Rey.
