Wish we got these tights That or in yellow. I think IC tights is a must for a future Rude figure. I agree. I hope we get that one and WCW version.

ZDB is correct above, albeit it should be noted that his robe was actually a shade of blue @ WM IV! I dunno why Bill preferred/chose a different colored robe than the actual one worn, but in all honesty, I'm glad he did, as it seems to mesh better anyway. HOWEVER, it does peeve me a bit that Mattel tends to like to write the ring attire on the back of the boxes, but sometimes only pertaining to what they wore for the match, and not entrance gear, which is sometimes off just like this figure. Technically, the E40 "Ravishing" Rick Rude is a mashup of WM 4 tights & a robe from many other events. So, they should stop bending the truth, in my humble opinion! On that topic, Xavier Woods E42 is neither shown on the box photos to be, nor is the figure inside of the package, Elimination Chamber 2015. They did not wear dark blue versions (that apparently existed according to online images found, previously proven by yours truly) of the glittery purple attire from E.C. '15 & onward! Mattel = fibbers. Those who pay attention to the minute details, however, WILL catch on & call them (out) on it from time to time. Today is one of those times, not that it matters in the grand scheme of things, but hey . . . whatever! Doyou mind if I see that pic of the "dark blue" new day online images that you found again? Lol

I love Elite 40 Rude but a blue robe would of been good to see. Ehhhh, personally I feel the red meshes better with the pink in a sense, even if it is in fact inaccurate for the actual event it's supposed to represent, as proclaimed by Mattel themselves. Whereas admittedly, if we're just talking robe vs. robe, I ordinarily would likewise prefer the "better looking" blue one most likely, I still think it's cool we got red instead. Why? Because there are two Ric(k)s in black robes, one of which is going to be in blue for an upcoming DM figure at the beginning of 2017 (perhaps end of 2016 during holiday rush?), plus if you have him (I don't), "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff came in a sweet, blue robe. Therefore, I think it was good for differentiation purposes at the very least, especially since Big John Studd didn't come in his entrance gear, so another flashback figure was recently released a red robe instead, so to say. I'm sure that was by no means intentional, but it kind of worked out well in retrospective hindsight, in my humble opinion of course, and much to my pleasure at that. This case being in lieu of one who would have had one of his own, in all likelihood, under virtually any other scenario but a multi-pack. But hey, we all have our own tastes, so I can certainly respect your preference all the while, especially since it WOULD be the correct robe for WM IV if it had been blue, as you desire(d). Clearly, that's already been covered & reiterated now by many in this thread, including you and I. However, if one has all the robed figures made, for instance, well then it's probably good not to have several characters in similarly colored cloth materials, no? Or perhaps for some folks, myself included at times, that'd be a nice theme throughout a variation of figures displayed, for sake of collection continuity to some extent. I suppose I just want the entire spectrum! I guess you could call/deem me greedy in that fashion; I certainly wouldn't mind if viewed as such! I must admit though, having many wrestling figures in patriotic attire, and lined up together—this being just one example as a refuting rebuttal to my original premise—they all look relatively awesome that way upon display! Sting, UW, Hacksaw, Flexy Lexy & "American Made" Hulkster, just to name a handful. Heck, even the aforementioned BJS, along with JYD, what with their respective, comparable ring attire appearances, go beside one another quite nicely! Hence, there tends to be a happy medium & common ground to be found amid all of my apparent collection OCD after all. I agree with what you're saying, Mr. Wonderful I think is still around £25 so he's not too hard to get as well, the red does blend better too. What would of been cool is a red and a blue robe, two different ones like Mattel did with Elite 38 Reigns. My collection is very OCD too, for example I always like to keep any Ambrose, Reigns or Rollins figures near each other.

WHAT!!!!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!! Where in the hell did you find this bit of info? I am pretty sure he is referring to the Ric flair DM that was just announced at Comic Con. Not sure what Ric Rude robes have to do with Ric flair robes, you can't interchange them or put them on another wrestler as they have their names on the back and it will look weird on someone else. It was in reference to just robes and colors of them, in general. One poster wished for blue on the Rude (which would be proper for WM IV actually). I was saying Wonderful & an upcoming Ric Flair already come in blue. Rude being in blue would be yet another flashback in blue + Ric & Rick both came in black already, so we'd have five flashback figures in five robes, but of only three wrestling characters, two of which will have been (in such a scenario) black + three in blue. So since BJS did NOT get his usual red robe, Rick Rude getting that instead was nice for a breakup to the "black & blue monotony" if you will. Certainly, neither Ric(k)'s robes are interchangeable, nor are Wonderful & Studd, if adding them to the mix, either! Also, just above this post, said poster had been somewhat persuaded by what I wrote. But he had an even better idea: just include TWO robes, not that it'd be possible, but hey, I concur wholeheartedly with the notion!

Today is one of those times, not that it matters in the grand scheme of things, but hey . . . whatever! Doyou mind if I see that pic of the "dark blue" new day online images that you found again? Lol Yeah, no problem, saved 'em on my eternal hard drive just in case this came into question again down the road, but they're also in one place now online from where I originally found them (since I was skeptical that they even existed and didn't understand why purple was NOT utilized on the figures) . . . AT LEAST Kofi wore his attire in-ring & for a proto photo...the others I cannot prove are not doctored to match! But hey, Ultimate Warrior was known to only wear his famous green attire in proto photos, that which has been made by virtually every toy company ever in existence since that time, as one forum member/Warrior collector recently posted. Therefore, that being the case make it possible all these years later when it comes to New Day, perhaps? They might have had two similar designs on different colored gear and decided to wear purple on television/PPV, and forever oust the blues? Then again, there's a clip from a house show of Xavier & Big E that adds to the color confusion . . . in what looks to be blue initially, but eventually could just be the lighting, so might actually be purple. It took place in Trenton, and it's from OCTOBER of 2015, which is way later than when they first existed, mind ya. Hence, additionally included is the vaunted trombone! So that shows clearly that Xavier did wear the "blue/purple" (lmao) with trombone in hand for all the doubters, myself once formerly included as an aforementioned skeptic that either the blue existed in some form or fashion, or that Xavier had a trombone in either of those colors; it indeed occurred! Hey, we can watch every t.v. show all we want, but we can't be at EVERY event, thus I'm glad the tweet got posted, proving even my own, past, skeptic, self wrong. Below are all examples I'm referring to (Twitter video = the link before the photos): Heel Xavier Woods Crushes Some Dude's Kid Sister's Dreams

I thought this thread was going to be about how E40 is just hitting Walmarts.
