Anyone else annoyed we haven't gotten a proper elite release of WCW Lex Luger? We got the 3-pack BATB Luger but I'm talking single release, no facepaint Luger.
A pre-WWF WCW Luger would be the definitive Lex for me. Currently I only own Narcissist but if I had a WCW Luger in plain trunks and white boots and long hair, I wouldn't bother with any other. I assume he's still signed and a possibility so I'd love to have gotten one. What do you guys think? Are you happy with Luger's representation in the line thus far? Or would you love a WCW one like me?

We need two: late 80s/early 90s and late 90s with the ponytail.

We should have a late 90’s and early 90’s version. I have just made customs.

Yep I want early 90’s and wolfpac and neither are tough to make. Easy slot into legends or something similar.

This is one I made. Very easy swap of parts I did the same. Easiest basic to elite conversion I’ve ever done.

To be honest I'm just glad Mattel covered both the Narcissist and Made in the USA looks. I'd never take a plain trunks WCW Lex over those given how easy of a fixup the WCW look is. Probably in the minority but my next choice for a Lex would be SS93. With the USA wrist band, and the white/red horizontally striped trunks with gold, separate piece which was more like his Narcissist attire.

Thought for sure we would have gotten a Wolfpac Lex during that influx of NWO exclusives there in the last few years. Definitely a huge missing piece of my WCW collection though. 1997 Lex with WCW Title would be the ideal release for me.

I think we def need a late 80s WCW style Luger in one of those super bright pairs of trunks he would wear at that time

I too have made the simple black Luger, but I prefer an earlier Lex in neon trunks. Green, pink, yellow, it doesn't matter.

Lex Luger (with The Stinger) was my first favorite wrestler, so I'd definitely love an official WCW Total Package from Mattel.
I did the custom in black trunks that's been posted here. It looks official and is as close as you can get to making any custom look like Mattel made it (without extensive work).
I'd prefer a neon orange trunks with black knee pads, though the yellow or blue might be more iconic. I just think the black knee pads look better than the colored ones, and that's what he wore when he wore orange trunks. I'd take any, though. And a Wolfpac Luger, maybe with WCW US Title, too.

This has been one of my biggest wants for the last couple of years and it’s mind-boggling why we have yet to get one. I want a ponytail Luger with black trunks. At this point, I’d take a basic if they could just release the head without any face paint. I like the Triple H torso, but also wonder how the Batista or Cena torso would look on him. Dude was shredded.

Late 90s Luger is such a simple figure - it's amazing they haven't fit it into a wave as a budget saver to go with a high deco figure. Early 90's Luger would be great for the Legends line. Do the lime green trunks with WCW World title, and blue as the chase.
I love both the WWF Lugers, but it's sort of ridiculous that we don't have figures from his more successful runs.

I love the 3 elite Lex figures we’ve got so far. I made a custom elite Galoob Luger. But I’m hoping we get an official late 80s-early-90s wcw Luger as well as a Wolfpack Luger.

I’d like one for sure. I swapped the batb Lugers head with the lex express head but I’d like an official wcw lex to have moc
