Picked up the elite cactus from Walmart cube and while the box has a New Generation logo & the back says 1995. However I don't believe foley debuted cactus jack in wwe til 97? 95 he was in ECW, right?
Aside from the shirt the figure could pass for early 90s wcw or Ecw.
I know mattels been known to make errors on the attire but Am I missing something? Are most displaying him with the 97 era folks?

I'm not a stickler for accuracy. I'd love an elite chainsaw Charlie to go with it

Only remember him in those tops with the leopard print or Native American designs. Always thought the Wanted shirt was after he got fired and was his own design which is why he was able to use it in Japan, ECW, and WWF.

Good call. I think that's what I'm gonna do. Wish I had that legends Vader now I had E31(?) Vader on my WCW shelf for a while and was completely content with him being there but then between a combination of being bored with nothing new at the time and coming across a good deal for the Legends Vader, I picked him up and now have them both on their correct shelves

I'd pick up L -Vader for a good price but not gonna get price gauge.

I converted mine to a WCW Cactus. It was 18 degrees yesterday, so with no desire to go outside, I decided to throw these together as a place holder until Mattel give us their versions.

I kind of remember him wearing it against the Steiners, but that could have been ECW. But seeing I have a couple of the RSC figures I was thinking about removing it "Wanted Dead" poster from the FB figure for the plain black shirt he did wear in WCW. Or I might just leave it as is with the WCW figures anyway.

Wasn't he already signed to WWE when the deathmatches happened? I thought I heard he was signed and granted permission to complete his obligations before his actual debut

Could this Cactus Jack Pass for an ECW figure?

Could this Cactus Jack Pass for an ECW figure? He wore those tights, that shirt, and those boots in ECW. I'm pretty sure he wore all three at the same at some point. Definitely could pass.
