I hope this is true!! I love D'Lo, criminally underrated. Would definitely buy the Elite and am loving the idea of including the chest protector as well!

You can't base a persons legacy on attitude era pops. Everyone got a pop, everyone was hot because the crowds were hot. It doesn't mean Test The Mean Street Posse and Ivory are legends either.
Name 3 great matches featuring Dlo Brown. I mean great matches... 2? 1? Yeah that's what I thought.

"WE NEED DLO"- Everyone Actually buying D Lo-No one See: Sid, JYD, Tito as previous examples You're comparing 80s mid carders to an attitude era midcarder. Do I really need to explain to everyone that there were more people watching wrestling in the attitude era than ANY other era of wrestling? And we're talking far and away numbers wise. That means more people watched guys like Dlo and more people know who he is. More people who don't watch anymore would be prone to grab his figure in a store as opposed to an 80s or early 90s era mid carder. No era comes close popularity wise. I'm not saying they should just throw away any plans for flashbacks that aren't attitude era. But I am saying its a proven fact that more people would know who Dlo Brown was in 1999 than pretty much any given mid-carder today, in 2016. So I'll play the "name game" and give you a challenge to name me 3 attitude era elite figures that shelfwarmed. 3? 2? 1?.. ..

Sid was a multiple time world champion in both wwf and wcw. Hardly a mid carder. JYD and Tito...mid carders but I still feel more widely known than Dlo. Casual wrestling fans might know junkyard dog. Casual wrestling fans don't have a clue who Dlo brown is.

Casual wrestling fans don't have a clue who Dlo brown is. I still don't understand why the Sycho Sid elite shelfwarmed from E39 along with Mizdow. He was a huge part of several eras. Maybe because the torso choice? Idk. That one will always boggle my mind Also, Dlo would likely match the NOD 2 pack that a lot of us already have. So that's just another reason to buy.

Rikishi All three were easy to find around here for months after their release. DM 2 Rock, DM 3 Triple H and DM 4 Austin were also easy to find months after their releases and all sat at Big Lots at $10 for months also. And four of those five mentioned are 100x better than D'Lo. I will say I would rather have a D'Lo over Rikishi, but neither one of those two on their best day are even close to reaching Tito Santana's, JYD's or even Sid's talent.

And we really can't say those specific DMs went to big lots for $10 because of the era , because EVERY DM wound up at Big Lots. I saw literally 30 Steamboats once when I first started. It's not about talent. It's about what people would buy. And I really think A lot of people would be more than happy to buy a Dlo. Especially consdering his last figure was a friggin BCA

.. I love the attitude era, it was my intro to wrestling, but AE has shelfwarmers. Xpac, APA, Godfather, andt thats just from since Ive started collecting. I didnt have trouble finding NAO even though they came out the year before I started collecting. I didnt include Stone Cold DM or Undertaker DM because of them being in their own shipments, but both were heavily discounted eventually. I can still find HoF Austins around too. Thing about the AE is that just because it was more watched, doesnt mean those people are still watching wrestling or buying toys of said wrestlers. Most people I know outside of this forum dont buy toys or watch wrestling anymore. If people do have kids that watch, then they like Cena and Roman and Big Show. Were a very niche hobby and Mattel is a huge corporation so Im happy to have a lot of the names we do. That all being said, Id have to see the figure before Id buy it. Ive passed on both Farooqs and the Nation Rocks because they were crap figures. I bought one APA Farooq for a jeans Austin.

This is the most delusional post i have ever seen. Dude was never that over. Also cant believe someone would put dlo brown on the same level or above naka. This board is so twisted. Over exaggerating the worth of people like dlo, savio and mero all the time. Its ok to say you want a figure, but dont make it seem like these stars were legends. My opinions make me delusional ..? Because I enjoyed the hell out of Dlos work and don't like Nakamura at all? Go back and watch some of the pops Dlo got. He was over as hell. His theme would hit to a huge pop the likes of which we saw all the time back then, but very rarely see today. Look at the wrestling audience today compared to the attitude era. A FRACTION of the people who watched then , are watching now. And an even smaller fraction of those watch Japanese or NXT wrestling. Therefore yes, I do think Dlo can be considered a bigger star than Nakamra. Maybe one day he will prove me wrong. But until then , Dlo > Namakura. You're not stating opinion, youre trying to tell everyone one that you're right The attitude era was trash. Sure great stories and some memorable moments, but as a whole...trash. They popped for everyone and anything. Hell, the biggest letdown in tna history was probably when dlo showed up.

I just read you say Harlem Heat is over hyped "on this board" as well. But I'll let that be because that's your opinion.

You just can't compare a Sid figure with a vest for $20 as opposed to a D-Lo figure with a chest protector and IC title for $20. D-Lo would obviously sell better if he had those accessories.

I like D-Lo but he is going to sell the same no matter how many accessories he is given. What people have to accept is outside of the collector community, Flashbacks aren't in high demand no matter the era. The current era is still the bread & butter for sales.

Yeah , but again, that was everywhere. And all the original Legends and DMs. I found Bret , Eddie , Steamboat, Macho, Warrior, and so many more that just sat and sat at stores like Marshalls and Big Lots for a long time. Not because they were bad figures or undesirable , but because Mattel was not as popular and frankly no one goes to Big Lots or Marshalls in search of action figures.

another possible figure announcement, another argument over which era is better, more ppl saying a figure is a waste of a slot or will shelf warm because they dont want it. gotta love this board.
