I'd love another JYD! Red tights with longer hair/ beard like the LJN / rock n wrestling cartoon. I talked to someone who works at a target...they said they were getting shipments of 3 JYD to 1 other stars such as Cena. This was around the same time E35 came out. JYD is one of Mattels best figures. It sucks he is getting a bumrap because of over shipping.

Easily one of the best of the Legends, but there is no need for another. We're lucky to have even gotten that one in my opinion. I just hope that the poor sales don't prevent guys like Koko B Ware and others from seeing the light of day, although I still have high hopes for Brutus the Barber Beefcake.

If it's the only JYD we get, I'd say Mattel hit it out of the park. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for Jimmy Snuka. That was a foul ball. A very very foul ball.

One of my favorite figures. Happy to have him, but I don't really need another version. Too bad some idiot at Mattel decided to release so much of him. He wouldn't look like such a pegwarmer if it was a normal .5 release.

2x WWE ELITE FIGURE Roman Reigns 1x WWE ELITE FIGURE Junkyard Dog 1x WWE ELITE FIGURE X-Pac 2x WWE ELITE FIGURE Cesaro 1x WWE ELITE FIGURE Seth Rollins 1x WWE ELITE FIGURE Batista There may have been a revision case as well, but I can't imagine they'd have ever packed JYD at anything more than one per case. I think there's less of a JYD problem and more of an Elite 33 problem. I think I could do a run right now and probably buy at least ten full cases, though some X-Pacs could be from the E36 initial casepack. It seems that some sets lately were just produced on ludicrously massive amounts. Elite 32 is still all over the midsouth, but everywhere I go in the region I see Bluetista, Cesaro, and the two Shield figures, with JYD and X-Pac coming up last. JYD was 2 per case in the E32-E34 case.

Oh man, so a best of case did actually make its way out. That explains a lot.
Foolish business practices, Mattel! For shame.
On the bright side, that's a lot of easily available fodder for anybody who wants to paint up a red JYD.

I would love a red tights repaint, easily one of the best FB figures.

It's one of my favorite figures MDT has ever done. I'm pretty sure though that this will be his only figure.

I have no use for the figure in my fed, so I don't see a point in buying it when I'm trying to stay on budget (lol) -- however, I do agree it's a GREAT figure. At some point, after I get my figure roster complete, I might pick it up. I saw it at my Target earlier this year and wanted to buy it, but settled on Elite Cesaro. Mattel nailed the figure, though -- and I'm not even a JYD fan like that. The headsculpt is amazing and the chains were equally bad ass. Shame it's warming so hard.
You know what, screw it, next time I'm out and I see it I'm buying it lmao. I just talked myself into it posting it.

He really isn't a big enough name to warrant a second figure. A red one would warm twice as worse as the white one.

It's a great figure and I'm glad I have it, but I don't need a red version.

So if I understand, some want the exact same figure but with different color tights? Huh? Why? Mattel made a great figure, hopefully they don't make another, we need new legends, c'mon Mattel give us Big John Studd!

HBK, Orton, Reigns, Jomo, Rollins, Triple H, Neville, Test, Rollins and Warrior are some of the best

Elite 33 is fine, I see no need for another.

He is a great figure, but they had no business repacking him in another wave. He was easy to find the first go round, and even worst of a clogger the second.
