Does anyone know what specific attire this is? Also -- has there also been an elite of Warrior at Wrestlemania 8 -- or just the basic with Papa Shango?

The attire is from a promotional photo shoot from the summer of 1991. He may have worn it during house shows but not at a major event. The attire is on the Summerslam poster and the cover a the Ultimate Warrior VHS.
There’s an elite HOF 2 pack with Shango and Warrior from WM8.

My buddy found me the set and shipped it to me for retail plus shipping. I love the Warrior, just wish they kept the blonde wash at the top of his hair. (Cue @mattelfreak to come in and lose their crap over that and use it as "proof" that Mattel should and will lose the license) anyway, beautiful figure and one to pick up if you see it.

I think it was used just as a promo photo. He did wear a similar attire in a match with the Undertaker on Wrestling Challenge in July of 1991 but he wore green boots instead of yellow.

Yeah for chronological purposes I’d put it July 91. So after Wm7 defining moments and before Wrestlemania 8 HOF 2 pack

The tassles on Warriors arms in the promotional photos look like they are purple, hot pink, orange, and yellow or yellow/green. The figure comes with a red instead of pink on his left arm. I swapped red out for a pink from the target Shango Warrior 2 pack. Also used an extra purple from a second hoc 3 figure on the 2 pack WM 8 Warrior figure to give it the correct orange, purple, pink tassles.

I picked up a couple of these, and it's a sweet figure. That white title belt really pops.

Did we ever hear why the yellow winged eagle that he was originally shown with was changed to white?
p.s. Are we missing any winged eagle colors? Wasn't there a purple version at one point?

Warrior wore a light purple belt at 91 Rumble, Mattel gave us elite in the Walmart flashback but with a blue belt

Warrior wore a light purple belt at 91 Rumble, Mattel gave us elite in the Walmart flashback but with a blue belt Did we ever get an answer as to why they redid the blue winged eagle instead of doing a proper purple one then? That would've been the perfect spot to do it unless they're planning on doing another Elite Slaughter with that belt.
