While Jakks had the Classic Superstars line going strong, I was an avid collector. I loved the line, but for whatever reason around Classic Series 9 I lost interest and had other goals on my mind, so I bought less and less ... then when Jakks dropped the line to Mattel, that killed my interest in collecting. So, I sold of my entire collection and decided to stop all together. I was in Kmart one day and glanced over seeing Legends Series 1 on the pegs and as bad as I wanted to get them, that urge just wasn't there, so I left them. I'm not quite sure what happened, but around Elite series 24 or so I decided to buy back some of the Jakks Classics that I had sold off and starting collecting the Legends line, which at this point was still semi affordable. Looking back at all of the awesome regular Elite lines, I started seeing figures that I had missed out on, because I just simply wasn't collecting at the time. Seeing figures like Diesel, Shawn Michaels Entrance Greats, All of the Legends line exc exc ... I tried to get the older flashbacks, but by this point they were very pricey. Over time I've managed to get every flashback that I aimed out to get ... except one. I placed a bid on this figure on a popular bidding site and was outbid, so I didn't think anything of it, it was actually quite expected considering what it goes for. So, I never paid it any mind after that. Well, fast forward a few days and I get an email with a 'Second Chance Offer' stating that the winner hadn't paid and if I wanted it at my highest bid price that it was mine, which I couldn't believe ! Hesitant, I msg'd the seller and it all seemed to check out as the seller had 100% positive feedback with thousands of transactions, so there were no worries there. I happily accepted the offer and this afternoon it showed up at my door steps 🤗  I'm beyond stoked to finally be able to add this to my MOC collection ! I only now need E13 Edge to have every Flashback that I set out to obtain, after starting so late in the game. Thanks for looking and as always, happy collecting 😎 Nice pickup! I got one last week for $56 shipped MOC. Super happy! |

Love this figure, def one of the best Kane figures ever. I was fortunate enough to find one at Target when the series was at retail and picked it up, i remember being shocked because i never expected to actually find ot at retail

I put the gloved hand from the most recent basic on it. Greatly improved the figure. I think I may haven given him shiny boots from a spare WM2000 Kane, too, but I don't remember.

E13 Edge as a Flashback? I dont doubt they called him a Flashback. I've always taken issue with them calling active wrestlers flashbacks. Especially someone like edge who never had much of a change in look.

Especially someone like edge who never had much of a change in look. Its a flashback because its a look from 10+ years before the figure was made. Also im pretty sure Edge was retired by the time it came out (2012, retired in 2011) |

This is a nice figure but it's not a holy grail attire for me. I love the Wrestlmania (reverse color) version a lot more.
Congrats on your find, I bet people are jealous of you.

Also im pretty sure Edge was retired by the time it came out (2012, retired in 2011) In his wwe career Edge never really changed looks. He may have had different shirts but he always had long tights, long blonde hair, no major change. Plus the fact that he was still fresh in memories as an active roster guy, makes for me to really not see him as a flashback. |
