II was just thinking it would be cool to get him with the robe again, but this time in black shorts with removable red and white thong accessories to cover the Hasbro versions, and to mix and match with the 2 previous Yokozuna figures.   I don't have a problem with the original head, except it's kind of big, I think it would be the best to go with, because even though the Hall of Fame 2 figure's head is better scaled, it has facial hair on the sculpt and I think he'd look better clean-faced. A corresponding Mr. Fuji with robe, flag, and salt bucket released simultaneously could work out pretty well too, imo.  |

Love E15, HOF 2 is a Mashup of eras imo and I'd rather the heads be swapped (but I don't want to compromise my originals). I'd like a black tight with red sash with the e15 sculpt just to remind me of the Hasbro. I mean I'm not dying for a new yoko but he's one of the guys if get every elite of as long as they are different. That felt a little long winded lol. |

Yokozuna was my first favorite wrestler growing up. So I will take any new Yokozuna released.
I like your idea of having an "interchangeable" Yoko, but if they were to do that, I'd rather he still have the red tights with a black/white interchangeable sarong. But, any color would suffice for me. I doubt they would do a re-sculpt for this idea though - despite it's awesomeness.
I've suggested in other posts that his HOF head with a clean shaven face would be a great scan.
Can we get a re-release of his first elite but with the HOF head? That would be phenomenal.
Annnnd, yes, we NEED Mr. Fuji (with robe, wicker salt bucket, and Japan flag).

Seeing has he literally never wore the Hasbro attires (and if he did it was only once), I highly doubt we're going to get them. I think its safe to say we're done with Yoko figures for awhile.

Annnnd, yes, we NEED Mr. Fuji (with robe, wicker salt bucket, and Japan flag). I don't think it would hurt to release a red, retooled head Yoko in a HOF Wrestlemania 9 Elite 2-pack with an accessorized Hitman, since we already have the Hulkster from that match to swoop in and take the title away from Bret, lol. Seeing has he literally never wore the Hasbro attires (and if he did it was only once), I highly doubt we're going to get them. I think its safe to say we're done with Yoko figures for awhile. Yeah, it's like that green and pink Warrior in white boots, even though he may have only worn it for a promo photo, it was used for a bunch of different merch as the default Warrior attire. It's definitely not logical, I'll admit, but it does give me the memberberries from the Hasbro figures and video games. I can imagine they didn't want him wearing black shorts because they made him look (slightly)slimmer. |

Don't need another Yoko but I'd buy a HOF 2 pack just for a robed Mr. Fuji with a pale and Japanese flag accessories.

The Hasbro attires are both awesome looking. I want those so much. I remember seeing a bunch of Yokozuna repaints from someone on here and they looked awesome. I liked a lot of his attires despite the simplicity.   |

I was just watching the infamous Macho Man snake bite angle again, and thought it would go over well as a Battle Pack of HOF 2 pack.
Jake would be Legends 2 in royal blue, with the black glove painted on, cobra accessory, with Macho in pink with yellow and pink designs, red deco on black boots, gritting teeth headsculpt, and green E44 shirt with Reinstate Macho Man on the back and merch design on the front.
I think that might be asking too much for a Battle Pack deco and accessorywise, so if they were Elites, Macho could use the cowboy boot mold, hat, glasses and perhaps an extra shirt for HoF3 Macho King and Jake could have a removable soft plastic glove over a more, wide open hand, cobra, classic WWE mic, and a new, perverted laughing Jake Roberts headsculpt, like when he's on all fours, laughing with the snake.

I would want a Mr. Fuji more than another Yokozuna.
Yoko is looking lonely without Mr. Fuji, who's name means, "he who throws salt in your eyes" lol
