Like, these guys should have some of the easiest palette-swap attires. Flair, especially. I thought as soon as Mattel signed him, they'd be pumping out figures of him every other wave like they do Savage and Warrior (and I'm not complaining about the number of Savage and Warrior figures), but thus far we've had all of three. What gives? And that's still one more than Steamboat's got, I don't think he's had an Elite in like, six years. We could have had WM III, Chi-Town green, or that nice blue he was wearing when Jake KO'd him on the floor.
Guess I just felt the need to vent, sorry. Steamboat's one of my favorite wrestlers and I'm going to have to pay out the arse for that nice 'Dragon' DM.

I desperately want a chi-town steamboat. The lack of Flair's isnt surprising because theres not much they can do with him apart from release him with all his colurful robes which apparently they cant afford because of budget issues. Lot of nonsense If you ask me when they are thinking of releasing a stage the size of of the one in the axxess video. But yea, Steamboat is long overdue an elite. Im not holding out hope anyway because International collectors have all been forgotten about when it comes to flashbacks of any kind.

Chi-town is one of my most wanted figures, as green is my favorite color lol. Apparently there are rumors on the forums of a WM III Steamboat Elite coming soon. Would love for that to be true.

Chi Town Rumble Steamboat has been a big want for me since the Legends line was a thing. I think the upcoming Steamboat is just an Elite version of his Mania 3 attire. That’s fine but I’m good with the Basic. Hopefully we can get another one eventually.
I would like more of a 90s WCW Flair but the new suited version with the glasses is pretty great. I’m sure we’ll continue to get him sporadically.

A steamboat from mania 3 should be on the way. I've heard...alone with a new duggan & Kerry Von Erich.

How would they do Elite Flairs though? Honestly. They'd have to do the robe or else people would complain about an Elite figure in solid one-color trunks.
We might get ONE in the Elite line sometime like they did with Charlotte if there's a set where they can finagle it in with a bunch of guys in black, but we're running the risk of nasty rubber robes and nobody wants that.

I can understand Mattel maybe having issues with Terry Gordy (I believe his family didn't want him in the last two video games, for whatever reason), but what's stopping them from taking the other three and slapping them in a Hall of Fame Freebirds set like they did with the Four Horsemen?

If robes are the issue I’d happily take a wcw flair in a tee shirt with us title!

I agree, I’ve been hoping for a lot more of both of them.

The lack of Flair makes zero sense, especially since they seem to release plenty of basics. An Elite with a 4 Horsemen t-shirt would be an easy sell for me.
I'd like to see 90s WCW Steamboat at some point.

I agree, I am happy with the WM3 basic as well and would prefer a different attire if they release another elite because I honestly don't think they will release too many more Steamboat figures. However, I understand there is huge demand for a WM3 elite. The lack of Flair elites is most likely due to the inability to include cloth robes, as others have mentioned.

Would love an elite wm3 steamboat but I’d rather have an ljn or wrestling classic all black attire steamboat.

As far as Steamboat is concerned, I'm a sucker for his attire he wore at the first survivor series. Red tights, white boots.
Would LOVE an elite of his attire he wore against Jericho at Backlash as well.
