We've all seen how JYD is warming the pegs a bit. Whether or not that's because they produced too many or there just wasn't enough interest, does that mean no more JYDs, elite or otherwise? Namely a red tights version?
What do you guys think?

The junkyard dog figure is great. I didn't ever care to get one honestly. I would be fine if it's the only one.
Hercules next Mattel.

I love that figure. The head sculpt is spot on and I t has a cool accessory. You really can't ask for more.

Its probably the best Mattel figure they've made. It really is. Everything on it is just perfect. The problem is that 80s wrestlers that had no relevance in the 90s bandwagon period and arent with us anymore to be honored on legend shows are just hard sells.

It's on my 'To-buy' list once I've moved. I love JYD, and the figure looks great.

Good figure. Way too overly produced.

One is enough. Lets use that spot for another mid-carder that we never thought we would get in the Mattel line.

Pretty sure the contract ran out on that one and I am fine with just the one we got. There are quite a few early to mid 80's WWF guys we still need.

Don't count on him getting another figure, maybe unless it's a basic.

I hope not. He's clogging all my stores.

It's a great figure, but unfortunately his fan base isn't anywhere near what it used to be. And kids today only want modern guys. Personally other than Rollins, Orton and Triple H I will take a Legend I liked over a modern guy or diva any day of the week.

The problem is that 80s wrestlers that had no relevance in the 90s bandwagon period and arent with us anymore to be honored on legend shows are just hard sells. im probably biased....but i recall him being the #2 babyface when i was a kid. JYD was one of my faves growing up. and i agree the elite 33 is one of the best Mattel elites so far. I don't have doink, malenko or earthquake yet. But as far as flashbacks from elite 12 to elite 33 go...I think the best is either JYD or e20 Christian. |

I have to admit, this is one of the very few FB figures I haven't bought and I buy almost EVERY FB. I was just never a fan when I grew up but I do feel guilty that I haven't bought him, simply cause he IS a damn good-looking figure. I'll still wait it out for another sale but I'll do Mattel the favor and eventually get him.

Great fig. Awesome accessory. I think the elite 32-34 cases being shipped together helped make this fig shelf warm.

It'd be cool to get a basic or elite red one, I think the chances are pretty good since most of them have cleared out from the repack wave where I live. Now, John Cena, Daniel Bryan, and Roman Reigns...they can take a break imo(but I know they won't lol).

Wasn't he 2 to a case? If so, that's prolly why he's still on pegs. It's a great figure. You know it sold well to collectors and resellers. Just too many put on the shelf.

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. |

I think its one of the best figures yet and I don't think Mattel can top it for him so unless a basic or BP I figure this will be his only reg elite..maybe a HOF
