Could anyone please tell me when did the Rock wear that attire or logos like that on trunks?

This figure is coming out a month after the Punk exclusive . Does this mean we are getting 4 exclusives this year?

Why the hell this though? I get that its a good match, but its bland. I dont even think the belt and ladder are needed, they could've just gave the belt and put it in the elite line. The same is true of most Ringside Exclusives. They are elite figures that won't fit in the main line because that wrestler usually gets or has had a bunch of figures already. I don't know why you would be surprised now, when the same thing happened with Brock, Kane (twice), Punk (once before and once more coming up), Mysterio, Savage (twice) etc. The exclusives are a way to get us a wrestler in a new look and usually with a unique/cool accessory like this belt.

If you look at the other exclusives this one still fits the mold nWo Macho Man didn't come with any accessories unless you count shirts. Bret only came with the jacket. So Rock coming with a ladder and a belt we would never get in the regular line = exclusive
The problem is we are supposed to pay almost $10 more than a regular Elite for a figure with accessories we would get if the figure was in the regular Elite line anyway. The "exclusive" label has been worn thin at this point. Because of Mattel's costs.
When I hear the word "exclusive" my first thought is about something really over-the-top that I truly couldn't get a figure like it anywhere else. I don't think "Elite Flashback", especially after seeing the price. Sadly it's not like that anymore, it's just going to be a figure with a cool accessory. Basically an Elite that will never be released at mass retail, thus making it....exclusive

Was hoping they wouldn't put those sideburns in since he didn't have them while wearing this attire. And I hope most people realize this attire is not from the ladder match with HHH...

It's a cool figure. The torso is horrendous, because Rock was never jacked up back then. They should have used the older Rock Elite mold. I don't understand why they wouldn't. It's not like it doesn't exist anymore.
The belt looks great. I never expected them to make a whole new belt plate, 100% accuracy is just never going to happen in this hobby because it's easier & cheaper to "use what we have"
Same deal as the headscan re-use. It's been done already, but it would be asking too much to get a brand new tooled old school Rock scan.
I love the package, it will really pop on a wall. The ladder is fine for what it is. Definitely an iconic match. But those asking for HHH instead? apparently you didn't see the 50 Elite 23 HHH's rotting on pegs, or the TRU exclusive one. HHH just doesn't sell as well as The Rock potentially will.

I love the rock but that torso is just awful for it. I'm gonna have to do a swap for sure. Glad I just got 2 more rocks for torso swaps.

The accessories, in my opinion, are what make the exclusive. The Purple IC Title and the Ladder look cool.
Rock should have had the old torso used in the Legends 3 figure and Defining Moments figure, since it was quite accurate for that time period. The torso used for this figure is perfect for Modern Rock, but not for Late 90s' Rock.
If the price goes down, I might consider it since it's a different time period of The Rock's career. But, I don't believe that the figure is worth $26.99

Wrong torso. The belt could atleast have the old block logo. Very disappointing for an exclusive.

I would have preferred a shirt over that ladder.

The strap on that title is supposed to be dark purple... not blue. It looks nothing like it should. Also, I don't remember Rock being anywhere near that ripped in 1998. This is the easiest pass on a RSC exclusive in a long time.
