I don’t recall seeing ‘official’ confirmation from anyone at Mattel, what do we consider ‘flashbacks’ or ‘legends’ if it doesn’t say on packaging
Would you consider the rumble cena ultimate as a ‘flashback’ or is it too recent?
As we stand in 2020 would you consider 2000 (ie 20 years) the cut off for when something could be considered flashback or would you say 10 or 15 years?

Me personally. I kind of go from when Mattel started making these (2010 but used outfits from 08-09)
I generally consider pre 05/06 a ‘Flashback’

I have actually given a lot of thought to this. I date flashbacks as anything that predates Mattel starting the line, which is roughly concurrent with the end of the RA era. A few early elites (Cena, Triple H, Finlay, Regal) fit this era nicely as well.

I feel a Flashback is any figure depicting a look not currently being used by a current Superstar or any Legend / inactive wrestler.

But remember that when Jakks CS1 came out, the looks/attires for Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Undertaker and HHH were from less than 10 years ago at the time. The UE John Cena is from 12 years ago. You can also use the PPV sets as an example like the Wrestlemania 36 Elites. Kofi Kingston (WM35) and Matt Hardy (WM34) were not considered Flashbacks while Mick Foley and Booker T were, so I guess the cutoff point is 2 years. |

I feel like the early years of Mattel’s are now flashbacks if you wanted to move them to a Legends/FB display.

If I want it..it’s a flashback YES. That's the post of the year right there. No better way to answer the question. We can lock the thread now. |

In my opinion at this point i consider any attire or gimmick 2012 and earlier a Flashback.

I consider anything up to Mania 20/the start of the Cena era a flashback. So 2004-5 ish. All personal preference, but I'm not gonna start considering early Mattel Cenas and Punks "flashbacks" the further away that we get. If that were the case then we'd all just keep moving the goalposts every few years and it's too confusing, lol.
