No, he's a stand alone figure with an alternate red jacket torso & the summerslam backdrop. Hope you guys got the summerslam reference!

I think Howard Finkel is the upcoming BAF.

I'm pretty sure Mean Gene is a single/stand-alone figure... the series he's in is a Walmart exclusive series.
The Fink is the BAF.

Gene is a standalone, but by the look of the other Elites, it seems they make a full little interview diorama with a camera, lightbox, backdrop, etc. And yes, I love the little Summerslam botch action feature. That alone is enough for me to buy everyone.
Fink is a BaF though, I'm fairly sure spread about the Basics shown with him (Orton, Slaughter, Rude, etc.)

He is still a BAF just like Jimmy Hart, I'm pretty sure all elite suits are BAFs - I sever their limbs all the time very easily!

As others have said, Gene was always going to be his own figure (thankfully). I guess this was the Flashback Basic wave hinted at on Brickseek a couple weeks back. Here were the UPCs: New on Brickseek: 887961639285 - Wwe Wmt Flashback Bob (SKU: 395867062) 887961639315 - Wwe Wmt Flashback Bob (SKU: 824775521) 887961639339 - Wwe Wmt Flashback Bob (SKU: 168002605) 887961639353 - Wwe Walmart Flashback Core Figure Asrt (SKU: 988864132) 887961639407 - Wwe Walmart Flashback Core Figure Asrt (SKU: 276021390) I don't know what to make of these, but "Core" would suggest a line of Basics. Exclusive to Walmart, perhaps?

The last 2 BAFs didn't work, what makes them think this one is going to?

No disrespect to The Fink (...I'll hopefully be getting him), but I really really really want a commentator Gorilla Monsoon figure...

Fink as a baf isn't ideal for me, but at least it's a flashback baf with flashbacks.

Not BAF but I think he's gonna have arms like the CAS series that can be easily popped in and out because he comes with an extra set of red arms and a red suit jacket to convert into AWA Mean Gene.
No, he's a stand alone figure with an alternate red jacket torso & the summerslam backdrop. Hope you guys got the summerslam reference!
The series is a BAF Summerslam backstage set. Syxx comes with the backdrop, Yoko comes with the Summerslam sign, Warrior comes with a camera, and Gene comes with a light.

Horrible face expression tho. I never saw Gene Mean so happy, he should have a way more serious face. I can't stand decisions like these from who-ever makes them. Toybiz Gene Mean is still my favorite

Mean Gene will look nice next to our DM Hulkster!
The BAF basics has me tempted in a couple and I donβt usually get basics but Iβd go ahead and get them all get Fink so first baf that has tempted me. Smart making it all flashbacks
