Jericho has only had 2 elites(E4 and E20), an entrance great, and some basics. The "he doesn't sell well" excuse is a bit hard to use I think. E4 was great but only came with a mic, E20 was highly sought after, and the entrance great fig is still going for decent prices on the secondary market. Undisputed champion Jericho, or wcw/early Y2J would be amazing in mattel form. It needs to happen! You can't look at your shelves and eBay as an indication that something sold well or is popular to the masses. Jericho could be sought after, or he could just be sought after by people who like Jericho. Maybe the reason the prices are "decent" on the secondary market is because not too many people bought him to begin with, so he is indeed rare. If Mattel says their Jerichos don't sell, then I believe them. We can go back and forth about it, but that's what Mattel says, and their bottom line is the bottom line. I used to flip back and forth between Raw and Nitro, and when a few guys would come on, I'd switch the channel. He was one of those guys. I never got into him. I honestly never gave him much of a chance, but I watched Nitro for guys who were around in the early 90s plus The Giant (Big Show), Goldberg and The Outsiders. Jericho just doesn't do it for me.

Sign me up. This guy was one of the few WCW talents that signed on with WWF when the Monday night wars were hot! That was and is still one of the best decisions both Jericho and WWF made. That was awesome to see Jericho debut on Raw. A figure from this era is surely worthy of flashback spot… if it isn't already in the works.

I get that you were not a fan, but so many of us were. I don't think it was mattel who said Jericho doesn't sell well, but ringside collectibles(even though they said E20 did well) . What I'm saying is the sample size for that statement is pretty small. If RSC doesn't want him as an exclusive based on poor sales for E4 that's up to them. A fb Jericho is always asked for on here by collectors, and that is their customer base.

A fb Jericho is always asked for on here by collectors, and that is their customer base. I stand corrected. It was RSC who said it, not Mattel. It is their choice not to make one for their flashback, I guess. I do think Jericho fits into that special category of guys who have spanned multiple eras. A lot of fans of the Monday Night Wars do remember him fondly. It's clear from this forum that is the case. Plus he's been around recently,so kids ought to at least know of him. Guys like that should take priority I feel; he does fit the kind of model that one would think could draw all sorts of collectors: legends and contemporary guys. HBK, Undertaker, Hogan, Rey Mysterio and others fit into that category.

Great to see so much feedback for the poll.
Hopefully RSC will atleast reconsider a flashback Jericho based on overwhelming feedback in his favor.
I personally have NEVER bought an Elite Jericho figure, because I'm not a fan of modern Jericho. But hopefully RSC collectibles can realize that doesn't mean I won't buy the flashback. He deserves respect, being the TRUE first ever Undisputed WWE World Heavyweight Champion and spanning so many generations of wrestling.

Yes I also want any flashback Jericho. The OP is a genius, let's have our voices be heard.

The people saying no they don't want a Jericho FB and dont even want to see it made are the same people that keep asking for obscure wrestlers from the 80s and early 90s that a handful of people will probably want to buy.....SO WOULD YOU PLEASE SHUT THE HELL UP.....

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't this thread ask people for their opinions? The poll does speak for itself, though, so why do you care that the super minority are against it? This acknowledgement is coming from someone who doesn't want the figure(s).

Only if its a WCW Monday Night Jericho version. This. I would only buy a Flashback Jericho if it was from WCW and preferably something colorful. Like maybe this Those tights and that Monday Night Jericho shirt would be an INSTANT BUY from me

I'd rather have Jericho than the useless Punk and Rock exclusive RSC put out. Their recents are no bueno.

I wish his EG was elite. That would be great. But a flashback Y2J would always get a buy out of me.
If it's Taker, Kane, HBK, Y2J, or any awesome flashback I buy the s*** out of it
