Yeah, he needs a new figure. I'm thinking a WCW look.

I'll say this over and over, but we need a Royal Rumble 1992 Piper. We need that black shirt and they need to do a better job on his head. The Legends/T-shirt series head is terrible. I love the EG figure, but a version of that face with longer hair is the dream for me.

I don't need a new head the Entrance Greats head captures the Piper I watched in the 80's perfectly. Just give me the Entrance Greats head, legends 2-pack lower body, Funk upper body, with the Entrance Greats clothing as well as either his red Superman shirt or red Piper's Pit shirt. But I will buy any and all Piper figures Mattel releases. Basically the fig in my signature.

Great wrestler but figure sales with Mattel so far is another story.
Think Mattel is afraid to release him again in Elite form.

Great wrestler but figure sales with Mattel so far is another story. Think Mattel is afraid to release him again in Elite form. How exactly were sales bad? The set was grossly overproduced. And it was the first of the 3 sets to move. My TRU received 2 or 3 shipments of the Legends 2-Packs. The first shipment had 30 cases above the aisle plus 6 pegs full. That was 180 sets (60 of each) above the aisle. 4 months later when they finally cleared out those they received another order of 25 case. Which was another 150 sets (50 each) and by the end of the year all that was left were a few each of the Bushwhackers and Shiek/Volkoff. Then a few months later there were at least 5 more cases added to the pegs. Which I know were new because before they had arrived again I had asked the guy who always helps me if they had more in the back because I was looking for another Piper set. And they had none. But when I saw the restock he had kept one in the back for me. So my store alone in about 1 1/2 - 2 years sold 350+ Legends 2-Packs. When Jakks had the license they never received more than 5 cases of any CSTT. So by those numbers one can say Mattel made more of 1 series of Legends 2-Packs that Jakks did for their entire CSTT line. And that is why the Legends 2-packs (and probably the Legends line) died. So I don't think Piper was the issue opposed to the volume they produced. There's only so many collectors in an area. |

I personally are not happy with the current pipers. Hopefully we'll get one from later in his career with a scan i like better.

Neither Piper head look like Piper IMO. I too would like to see a longer haired 92 version. Black shirt, IC Title, Funk torso perfect for the HOF line

I think they nailed the smirky, snarl expression he did perfectly with EG head. That is how I remember Piper. It and the Mr Wonderful scans are still my favorites by Mattel. |

I love Wonderful as well, I just dont see Piper in the Piper scan though. Maybe its the way it's painted, I thought a lot of the earlier Mattel heads looked generic and cartoony. |

I love the EG head, the Legends head is off and goofy but I think the EG one is perfect for how Piper looked at that point. Maybe some of us got better painted ones than others? It happened with my legends and basic steamboat, same head, better paint job improved it a lot on the basic. But I'm sure everyone's seen pics of the figure besides theirs so I don't know, just surprised people don't like the EG head.

If they would have just released the fig PJ describes as a single in the legends line it would have sold great. I made it via fix-up and I love it. I do still want a 92 IC champ Piper, and a WCW piper (long hair/facial hair, icon or reality check shirt). Would love to see a DM Bret-style leather jacket for him too.
