Great to see a few Foley marks as I am one myself. Purchased every Foley figure released (even re-releases/repaints). I say depends which era you enjoy most. Attitude (SS) or New Gen (E51). I personally like debut mankind better but if you can, I'd say get both since its different faces between those 2 Mankinds imo.

Side note: I wish we’d gotten that basic with white shirt/brown pants as an elite instead of two sweat pants ones (e17 & SS)

I’m a huge Mick Foley mark, and I just recently received the Dude Love figure. I also have the RSC Cactus Jack and a basic Mankind (white shirt). I’m looking to upgrade my Mankind to an Elite, which one do you guys prefer? I'm also a big Foley mark dude. I love all his elites but my favourite has to be Elite Summerslam. I went with this as I think it has the best accessories wwe belt, removable mask and also a removable socko. I own both but as this was my favourite of Mick's personas it gets my vote plus I missed out on original E17 lol. I got this one too. I bought it loose on eBay though and it didn't come with socko ... im gonna cut a socko out of my own sock lol

Seen someone do the swap of the elite 51 pants with the shirt and tie and it looks amazing. I've actually ordered a basic mankind to use the shirt off of. Can't wait

I associate his white shirt with one of the more overrated matches in wrestling history and his brown attire with one of the more underrated matches in wrestling history. Elite 51. Mind Games?

Fellow Foley mark here, allow me to weigh in:
E51 is decent enough but the Amazon exclusive is far superior for an early Mankind. E51 would be good to make a custom KotR 98 custom with the SummerSlam if you're good at customizing.
It all depends on which version of the character do you like more: The deranged hair pulling lunatic or the more comedic and in a way iconic Mankind?

Amazon mankind debut is better! His best figure imo. I agree you can find them cheap as well. I got mine a few weeks ago for less than $12 shipped

Yeah and if you take out the Henry O Godwinn match, Mankind had a really good streak of pay per view matches with Taker and Shawn coming into the company in 96. For me the Mankind character died when he did that interview with Jim Ross in June of 97.

In a three faces of Foley setup, brown.
As a solo figure, White.
But really, both.

I love the Boiler Room Brawl with Taker tho (and the one with Big Show too)

Side note: I wish we’d gotten that basic with white shirt/brown pants as an elite instead of two sweat pants ones (e17 & SS) Yeah, when we knew there were 2 new Mankind's coming out (E51 and SS), I was really disappointed that one wasn't a white shirt/brown tights look. It seems strange we've only had one on as a Basic... Seen someone do the swap of the elite 51 pants with the shirt and tie and it looks amazing. I've actually ordered a basic mankind to use the shirt off of. Can't wait ...wouldn't he have no sleeves though? For the the full white shirt/brown tights look, I think you'd have to crack the torsos and swap the arms too... (*gulp*)

I think if Michaels goes over cleanly it cuts off Mankind completely.

I've got no worries about cracking torsos now. I was awful at the start but it's all about patience. Once it's done I'll put it in the fix up thread.

Painted the hands and wrist to match his 98 KOTR match. Edit: At the time I used Cody Rhodes boots, but with E51 you don't have to do a boot swap.
