Personally, this is the reason I like the figure so much. It pretty much works for any Piper era in the WWF from 1987 until 1994.

I’m seeing it as WM5, because of the hair, but like another poster said... it’s pretty versatile.

It was pretty much his main look in the WWF. With the exception of the back of the knee pads not being white I see WM3 vs Adonis also.

When I look at it I see 90-92. Just picked it up yesterday. Only HOF fig there. There was tons Of NXT series 2.

It's WM3. At least I thought it was.

I'd say easily anywhere between the late 80s/early 90s because of the hair. The previous Piper Elite was more mid 80s heel Piper.

I’d say it wasn’t modeled after any specific date and bill just gave us the piper we wanted

I mean it was his overall look for a long time. If I guesses specifically, I'd say WM8. That's what the expression and hair with the outfit reminded me of in particular.

If so he had black pads and boots in that match. Yeah, didn't realize. I'm not that OCD lol. I just figured it's the ultimate generic early 90s Piper and that's my favorite match of his.

It’s exactly from WM3. Head sculpt and even the pose in the box.

Also, Piper, from time to time, would through his hands wide and shake his head while saying something, it wasn't just exclusive to WM3. But, then again, it wouldn't be the first time Mattel didn't get the attire completely correct.

Thanks guys I appreciate it. Given all the facts and responses I'm confident in calling it wm5. I'm OCD for ring attire dates and will certainly be asking again for other figs in the future. I love this forum. Thanks crew. Happy Thanksgiving.

His hair doesn’t look long enough to be wm5. I’m going with wm3 which would make more sense since that is one of the most iconic wrestlemanias ever.
