Logo on the belt is wrong though.... they only used the old block style logo on this belt, attitude scratch logo came in the black one (if I'm not mistaken) still can't wait for this fig...

No, that's blue. It can look dark purple in different lighting, but it's definitely blue. In early '98 all the belts went to colored straps and the IC was the purple one:  European was green:  Light Heavyweight was already red, and the tags, I believe, remained black but had a red backing on the inside of the strap. |

Not to high Jack threat but what's the consensus on best Austin elite 98/99 era?
Legends? DM?

We have had an Austin in the regular Elite line so hopefully this is his first one. Though that figure would be a worthy DM because that night he attacked Vince has always been a classic.

The belt strap is definitely the wrong color, should be the dark blue, see Jakks BCA or TTL for reference, and the WWF logo should be the block style logo. Kane was the only other guy to hold this version of the title and then Rock won the more common black strap/scratch logo version at Survivor Series. The logo doesn't bother me so much, but the strap color needs to be corrected imo. The last thing we need is another Legends 6 Warrior belt situation.
I primarily want this for the shirt. BCA Austin in the SCU shirt was my go-to Austin in my BCA collection. So yeah, some sentimental value here for me. I do hope the shirt is cloth.

You guys don't think this could be a possible DM? I think it could be because it is in fact a "defining moment"

Granted how it is not in wrestling gear I am going to have to rule out the regular elite line.
This figure screams "special" or "exclusive" to me. I'd say either a Network Spotlight, WrestleMania Elite or maybe even a Gamestop/RSC figure.
EDIT: Defining Moments also a possibility.

In regards to the things we are pointing out that are incorrect, remember this is only a digital image of a prototype so it is all subject to change, I imagine the belt when it comes out will be of a different shade in colour

Batista's was also a defining moment in every sense of the phrase, but the key thing here is that it NOT be exclusive to any one retailer. If it's going to be a DM, then it really needs to be a cloth shirt. I know with the recent Cena that nothing is ever guaranteed, but it would top this one off. |

I want a new ring attire Austin with the thicker Cody Rhodes legs and a new headscan that's overdue.
