I started collecting Mattel late in the game. I want to add ONE Shawn Michaels to my collection. Which Elite Figure of his best captures his likeness and career? I've already ruled out the Walgreens Exclusive and anything with him wearing chaps. Long story short. WCW Fan. Never watched much of the Attitude Era. Liked the Original DX with HBK, Triple H, and Rude. Started to like HBK during his chase for the World Title where he was managed by Lothario for some reason (never undersood why). Only recent attire that I ever really liked was the White Attire he wore against Undertaker.
I'm thinking of getting the Network one right now, but unsure.
Any suggestions on what is the definitive HBK?

For me it's the rse hbk.
If it wasn't that one id probably pick the rockers.
When hbk started to get pushed as heavyweight championship contender I decided to switch to wcw completely. I came back to wwf in the late 90s when hbk didn't wrestle much. I own the rse version and the wrestlemania elite with the red dx pants like the post above and I will never buy another hbk unless a new elite rockers comes out.

Wait until around Wrestlemania time next year and you can get WM12 HBK. That is, if you only want 1 and willing to wait.

Personally I love the young, cocky IC-era Shawn captured in the Ringside Exclusive.

WM 14 HBK is the best. Close second is the network spotlight HBK.

For basic I would go with Entrance Greats HBK [Very Underrated figure] and elites I would pick WM14.

I like the Network Spotlight HBK the best.. the teal pants instantaneously brought me back to the exacts BCA figure I had when I was a kid.

I'd go with the RSC exclusive. It's not the era where you watched him, but Mattel knocked that one out of the park. I think it's top 5 Elites EVER.
I'm talking the 92 HBK exclusive that is.

Defining Moments is by far the best. It may be a chaps look but it is phenomenal.

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

I would say Wrestlemania 30 Shawn which represents his Wrestlemania 14 look but if you didn't watch much of the attitude era I'd suggest Elite 19 (the new legends elite figure) or the network spotlight toys r us exclusive one. You could even track down Elite 3 or DM if you don't mind spending a lot.
Overall I would suggest the new legends elite which was elite 19 too as it is retail price and also represents Shawn very well.

I don't have the Network, Rockers, or Ringside one. So:
If you're going for the pants, do Defining Moments
If tights, do WM30 Heritage

Wrestlemania 30, I think that one has a great likeness, but you don't like chaps.
So either the ringside exclusive '92 version or network.

Either RSE or wait for a red one with white and black hearts.
