If guys like Rey, Cena, and Orton are so popular and sell so well for Mattel, why have we not yet seen flashbacks of these superstars? We've seen some basics, but never in elite form. I personally would love a classic WCW Mysterio, debut Cena, and Evolution era Randy Orton. Thoughts?

There are older versions. There's a SummerSlam Basic version for Orton and (upcoming) Mysterio, and there's the Defining Moments Cena.
What were you thinking of specifically?

As I said, there have been Basics, but never flashbacks in the Elite line. I'm thinking a 2002/3 era Cena and classic ECW/WCW Rey like the two in the Rey 6 pack would be cool to see. |

Wouldn't you consider Cena's Defining Moments figure a Flashback? A WCW Rey came in the Rey 6 pack, Orton's Mania Heritage figure from Mania XX is technically an Evolution era Orton but you need to put his SummerSlam 04 head on it. Orton's SummerSlam 04 figure is my favorite Orton but I do agree we could use an Elite Flashback with that head, IC Title and the purple trunks from Armageddon.
EDIT: I get it. You just want the same figures we've gotten just with Elite articulation. I think the only Cena I'd want pre what we've had so far is him in the velour jumpsuit with the hat. I have zero interest in Cena in generic wrestling gear.

I think the flashbacks in the current elite line are saved for older superstars. We don't get the classic line jakks used to do so we need someway to get the legends. It would be a waste of a space in the line when we have 5 current superstars and a flashback Cena. I'd much rather save the slot in the line for superstars we don't already have figures of.

We have enough Elite Cena/Orton/Mysterio as it is... save the Flashback spots for older and first-time figures. |

The idea wasn't for them to take up a flashback spot, but to be a 2nd or 3rd flashback in a series as opposed to another new Rey or Orton. |

I'd much rather see an older/Flashback Orton or Rey instead of another current one. I'd love a Joker or Captain America Rey. |

Please dont give Mattel any ideas. The last thing I need is Flashbacks of these guys peg warming as well.

I think an Evolution Orton with the IC belt would be cool. Or maybe a Summerslam 2004 Orton with the World Heavyweight Championship.
