Which Dusty Rhodes elite would you choose for a WWF Golden era display? The Legends Series 1 Polka Dots or the more classic Elite 63 American Dream figure?

Actual WWF, it's easily polka dots but just black tights with DR is the more overall iconic attire.

For a WWE/F only display polka dots. Any other display E63.

Dusty did wear plain black trunks and cowboy boots in WWF but no one remembers that. It’s like asking what to choose for Mr Perfect’s WWF look, black trunks or a singlet.

Total honesty I just purchased the E63 figure. I was looking at a Legends Rhodes on eBay but cheapest with all accessories was double the price. Starting to think I should have just bought the Legends from the responses here...doh. You can't cancel a RSC order right?  |

Did he wear the polka dots for his entire 3 year WWF run? Yes. Sort of. He wore his traditional black attire with a ty-dye t-shirt at he first WWF house shows in 1989, but when he got on TV he started wearing his traditional black tights with yellow polka dots. At the end of his run, late 1990 early 1991, he went away from his yellow polka dots and started wearing red ones. Sometimes they weren't all over the tights, sometimes there was just 2 or 3 dots on the side of his trunks. One time he did wear red tights (and shirt) with yellow polka dots (can't find an image of this). He also wore his traditional black tights with yellow polka dots but with a yellow shirt and black polka dots. And, I have to agree with most everyone else, if its a WWF display, it should be Legends 1. Early WWF with Ty-Dye t-shirt: Traditional WWF Look: ![]() ![]()   WrestleMania 6 look:  Late WWF Look (Red Polka Dots all over trunks): Later WWF Look (just a few polka dots on the sides of his trunks):   A few times he wore this attire (mainly during interviews around Survivor Series 1990):  |

When he debuted feuding with DiBiase he wore his NWA/WCW attire. |

E63 is the definitive Dusty Rhodes figure. |

E63 is his best figure to date. Kinda what I was thinking too. I read somewhere they purposely made him wear that attire to humiliate him. |

If you don't mind it being a Basic, you can still get the SummerSlam Dusty pretty cheaply... |

Just checked my watched items in eBay and the Legends Dusty I was watching has gone so the point is moot. I think I will still be happy with the E63 in my collection. Sometimes I have to just be happy with my purchases and stop second guessing myself I think lol. Anyone else have that problem?

While not the Golden era you want he did wear his more traditional look in the WWF in the 70’s. But like I said above for the WWF era you were specifically asking for it has to be the polka dots.

Ever feel like they need to go back and rerelease more figures from the original 2010 Legends line? I know they have done a few but there were so many we need another shot at. |
