Yep, I don’t get the hate for this either. I’m excited and nervous at the same time. We’re FINALLY getting the WCW US belt. This figure is an instant preorder for me when it becomes available. Now, what I’m nervous of is the attire they’re choosing for Bret. I’m hoping it’s the Halloween havoc attire or black singlet with black wrist tape... I’ve asked time and time again that we get his round sunglasses and it’ll be a bummer if they’re not included. I’m hoping Goldberg comes with a new scan, but seeing as how they including the screaming scan with the last elite I’m sure that it’ll have to be monetized somehow.
Edit: I’m going to prepare myself when it ends up being a Bret in jorts. The selling point is the belt and Mattel knows we’ll buy it.. still hoping I’m wrong.

If it’s not ring gear, I’m not interested UNLESS they finally nail his likeness on a new head sculpt.

I love Bret and was an avid WCW viewer at this time but...Goldberg wearing a black tracksuit and Grandpa sneakers, and Bret in a generic (Non-Maple Leafs) hockey jersey? No ta

The hate, at least for me, is that a jersey and steel plate makes me think we're getting jorts instead of ring gear. If I'm wrong, it's an instant buy for me. Goldberg is about as low deco as they come, topped only by a jorts Bret. If Bret is in his ring gear, its a great set. But if not, there's no value there for me. I have a Goldberg, so I'm not paying $40 for a hockey jersey and belt.

If it’s ring attire I’ll probably get it. I’d like a flashback Goldberg and I feel like Bret hasn’t had a scan that’s matched his likeness well yet.
Street attire = instant pass. I’m not getting a two pack for a title belt. That’d be silly.

So the Bret hart is a repaint of his Wrestlemania XXVI figure in Jean shorts but with a steel plate and hockey Jersey? Sounds like a mashup. Ring attire with a generic “Hitman” jersey and chest plate. So was this confirmed to be in the “Elite 2-pack series” or is it an exclusive or something? If it’s the former, I can’t see it being anything but ring gear, since that’s how they’ve all come out. If it’s the latter, then I’m not sure. I’m going to agree with you and say it’s probably ring gear with a shirt and a jersey, plate and the title. I’m probably also going to speculate that the jersey will either have the Hitman skull, or a generic maple leaf design on it to avoid copyright issues. I do find it interesting that the older, WM street gear Hart, minus the head/hair color and shirt, is pretty much identical to what he wore during the segment with the plate when he got speared. Us fix up guys with these figures should be able to recreate that scene if the 2pk Bret is ring gear.

I’m really hoping Bret is in wrestling gear. Just off the top of my head two packs such as Bret vs Roddy Piper w/US title Bret vs Wolfpac Luger with the US title Bret vs DDP w/us title Bret vs wolfpac Sting w/US title
All would of made this more desirable.

stc13 I get that, I said the same thing in my comment about the attires. Anything other than ring gear is a middle finger to collectors. However, people were constantly complaining about getting this US title belt and we’re finally getting it. It’s $40 for this set and you’re getting two figures, shirts, steel plate accessory and a new belt. People complain about the $30 ultimate editions. I don’t think this is too bad tbh. I’ll just keep my hopes down so I won’t be disappointed like I usually am. Glorydaysofwrestling it’s ironic that you mention Sting and DDP because I wanted a elite double pack from their 1998 Nitro match. Is DDP still under a WWE deal?

I expect a run on eBay of those McDonald's mini jerseys that were released in Canada. The Leafs jersey wasn't Tie Domi like Bret wore, but it'll work.

But hopefully they go with a wrestling attire instead of the shorts he actually wore. No matter what it is I will get it. I already told my wife we are putting money in the account for this set this week. lol

We did get one already. The Hart Foundation E42(?) his hair is all slicked back.

The Hart Foundation E42(?) his hair is all slicked back. I thought that scan was ok. I personally want one with sculpted on strands I hair on his forehead. I’m really hoping he comes with round sunglasses as that was an iconic look for that time period. Something like either of these would be awesome.

The Hart Foundation E42(?) his hair is all slicked back. I mean representing mid to late 90s Bret as opposed to the young early 90s Bret that scan captured. I think having the hair going down the sides of his face like it actually was towards the end of his WWF run and WCW run would be ideal.
