Can do many different things with this. Could be an elite including shirt & unique hands vest, or just a basic t-shirt figure (if they can use the licensed merch) sans black w/blue & white trim designs vest. I always did like DDP's shiny, simple, plain blue tights. This could be an elite re-paint perhaps (which could again be re-painted later maybe for the WWE look?), though I know lotsa folks want one with jeans/rib wrap, etc. if getting another WCW look. That's another one which could easily be a basic t-shirt release though, rather than an elite somewhere in one of the lines for a 3rd DDP (could be overkill, I guess). However, this could be an opportunity for angry or serious/stern/stoic sculpt scan, which could be used twice (elite in blue tights & basic t-shirt series w/jeans). I doubt they'd do both before the eventual lightning WWE short-hair look, but any & all looks should be blonde hair this time instead of ginger colored. Why Sid & DDP had to suffer like that I'll never know, but I DID buy 3 E36 DDP's. One loose w/o rib wrap, another with, one MOC. WWE's YT video posting from yesterday reminded/showed another example of this typical, regularly-worn (also w/Malone) 1998 tights (in-ring) look as well:
Here are some self-made screen grabs specifically showing my idea from 1998 Road Wild, though as well:
Last one shows the touch of shiny, dark blue sparkle on his elbow pad as well, and this thing would have a nice color-coordinated look (light blue inner vest on E36 being an oversight). Anyways, just a thought/suggestion, dunno how likely an elite is, but maybe a non-smiling face basic sans vest/shirt & another t-shirt series w/shirt & the hopeful, new scan. That way WCW is basically complete and then you move onto the clamored for WWE look, but ya milk it & make us wait on the way to doing that, and then we basically have all major DDP looks practically. I'm not even a DDP mark really, but he was a big player where the big boys play in the Monday Night Wars era on the WCW branding side of things, as is admittedly difficult to deny, no doubt of that. I'm glad they made his MOST iconic look (twice), but others ARE necessary in my opinion, especially during the Nitro vs. Raw time frame prior to the stalker angle, which would be a cool look in itself despite its failed execution, but I s'pose ya couldn't include a Taker bike accessory, unless Mattel went the Toy Biz "Brawlin' Bikers" (or whatever they were called haha) route one day as a throw-away line like the rest of the similarly, familiarly released products that eventually, inevitably die off.

ing awesome. I would also like Raven in his attire from that match as well. Let's make this happen Mattel. Raven and DDP represented from their feud in 98 and the US Title with one of them is the dream for me.
