Looking for opinions on Rick Rudes produced by Mattel so far. The Legends 2 Summerslam 90 look.. the pink tights Wrestlemania 4 look....the basics purple tights appearing like the Hasbro figure. The upcoming Summerslam 89 tights and ic title chase.
I have a collection that represents from about wrestlemania 1 to wrestlemania 7. I like to represent different looks. Considering buying legends 2 and elite pink tights from toy stores at 20 and 25 each. Good deals? Which do you prefer or look best in a collection?

I don't think Mattel has quite nailed Rude yet honestly. I'd love to see one from Rumble 90 with the slick hair and some "simply ravishing" tights.

Honestly I think the only “iffy” one is legends series 2. I think the face scan should have been more accurate, the head bigger and different tights chosen.
Elite 40? Awesome figure
Elite 77? Awesome figure
Gimme a great short hair Rude and I am happy 👍

I think the E77 might be the best one so far, but E40 is a close second.
The Build-a-Fink Flackback Basic holds a soft spot in my heart being a Hasbro tribute attire.

The Legends figure not having the Warrior deco really makes it sub par

Speaking of Rude we really need the DX version next. I personally like the basic the best. I like the legends version but as BC3 said the no warrior deco really hurts it overall.

I agree, I don't think they have nailed Rick Rude just yet, I'll have to wait and see how the upcoming E77 one looks in hand. Of the ones released so far, the Legends 2 one is my favorite but it does get knocked down from being perfect since the deco on the back is missing - looks great MOC though. Also, though the Rick Rude basic in the purple and black tights is a homage to the Hasbro figure, Rude did wear similar tights in 1988 when he was starting the feud with Jake, I believe he was wearing those tights when he hit on Cheryl Roberts.

Do you think loose legends 2 is worth 20 bucks? |

The E77 one looks to be the best. Especially the chase.

Do you think loose legends 2 is worth 20 bucks? Hard to say, I guess it depends on how much you want it. If the figure is in great condition and complete with the robe, then yes, I would say it's worth $20. |

I think Mattel finally nailed him with Elite 77. I think the body scan is good and the head scan is the best they've done so far with him. The tights for the regular are amazing too. Hopefully, I can see them as I'm keeping him MOC

Legends is my favorite because the head is as close to WCW as we will probably ever get.

I’ll be honest, I think Mattel has done a good job on the Rude figures except for his arms. The one time they should give someone roided arms they don’t. The chiseled Ziggler arms look ideal.

There’s also the Rude that came bundled with Warrior in the basic classic steel cage ring. It was the Legends SS90 fig without the robe and brownish flames. Believe it was only released overseas.

Totally agree re dx It would be easy to do, already got plenty of suit attires to chose from, likewise got moulded briefcases from mitb, irs etc |
