That's ridiculous. What if I want a short hair Luger? I'm supposed to cut the hair off? Well, not till you get a Brutus Beefcake figure.... Thanks to everyone that voted on this. Unless something changes drastically it will be the Allied Powers version of Lex Luger that debuts as an Elite Flashback in the line. This was the direction I was leaning towards to begin with, as it seemed the most appropriate for an Elite level execution. I will however be going with a longer haired head sculpt on the figure, as opposed to the closer cropped hair from this same period. Should have done shorter hair and included a long hair wig.

Any chance two versions of Lex Luger are released? But I supposed a WCW fix-up would be quite simple.
Lex would look great next to Yokuzuna. Wish me luck finding a E15 Yoko for a decent price.

Yep, I remember MDT saying that they were going to use a longer hair look so people could do fixups. That's ridiculous. What if I want a short hair Luger? I'm supposed to cut the hair off? No. You're either supposed to accept it or not buy the figure. ![:)](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/smiley.gif) I imagine they have no immediate intentions of giving us a WCW Lex simply because he'll have ZERO crossover appeal to kids or collectors who came into wrestling post WCW. So this is their compromise for those who enjoy fix ups, and it will also compel most of us customizers to buy at least two. Plain tights and white boots is too bland. I think that's why we've seen flashbacks like Papa Shango and not Magnum TA. If you don't know who either of those guys were, at least Papa Shango looks cool with skull face paint, tattoos, etc. Magnum TA looks like a hillbilly jobber. NWA/WCW Luger would look similarly boring to someone who has no conception of who he was. I kind of like Mattel's strategy of mixing eras. To me it's a good Lex Luger figure. It isn't 100% representative of USA Lex, but it is still a good Lex. Same with Flair's DM. It isn't any specific Flair, but it is a nice Ric Flair indicative of who he was. I guess I can see people's consternation about it, but it's a smart business move. And if more business moves like this will net us more figures (because of their overall success) then I'm all for it.

I can't lie; I'm a little underwhelmed. I was expecting Luger to get his own broad upper body. Provided those are his accessories, how's is Luger supposed to hold those dumbbells with that open left hand? (If they are Brock's, how is he supposed to hold them with that open right hand?) @MattelDesignTeamWhat's with the extra white space on the back of the trunks? Sounds silly but that awkward emptiness is the first thing that caught my eye looking at the rear-facing photo. It's odd. I wonder if they could have used the longer thighs as seen on Drew McIntyre's Elite: ![](http://www.ringsidecollectibles.com/Merchant2/graphics/00000001/elite8_drew_mcintyre.jpg) You'd lose a little mass, but the distance between the kneepads and boots would be closer. I guess the McIntyre upper legs wouldn't have the newer ball-jointed hips, though.

I do think that extra white space looks odd, too. As for the dumbbell, he can just hold it upright like a can of beer and it will rest on his hand.

Lex Luger is great but Brock Lesnar is disappointing, hate those rubber vests that they keep churning out and the text looks small, the face sculpt is pretty cool I guess.
