Mattel has been reinvigorating its Elite line with the continued use of the interchangeable hands.
I've recently bought E67 Randy Orton and E68 Daniel Bryan. Usually when I see those names in the elite lineups, I skip over them just because I have about 3 or 4 versions already, but with the inclusion of the new hands it definitely gives things a fresh dynamic.
What future releases could benefit from the hands, and what were some missed opportunities with past releases?
Off the top of my head, one of the biggest misses was the Four Horsemen box set. Had all 4 members been sporting the 4 hand sign, that set would've sold a lot better, I think. It is unlikely Mattel will ever revisit a set like that. Possible that they make a Flair with a 4 Hand, but since Arn is now gone from WWE, the odds are looking rough. It's highly unlikely we'll see any others in the near future, or all of them together. Ringside Exclusive??
Some future spots that could totally be doable are:
- DX Crotch chopping HBK or HHH or Xpac
- Too Sweet Kevin Nash or Hollywood Hogan
- Thumbs up Hacksaw Jim Duggan
- Thumbs toward RVD - Middle Finger Steve Austin (unlikely)
- Peace sign Jeff Jarrett
What do you guys wanna see out of this?
