There isn’t an Attitude Era Dudleyz. I'll add that they wore pretty much the exact same attire in 2000 (I recently saw it on a 2000 July Smackdown I watched). So their elites are passable for me on my Attitude shelf. (Bubba's is the exact same, D'Von's shirt is a slight variation, but I could see Mattel making that change anyways in an effort to not put the word "death" on a figure shirt)

That’s because he wore sleeveless shirts in 2015

Stephanie McMahon from the Milkomania set works for 2000-2001. The flashback Goldust works for 98, more or less.

There are so many differences: Bubba’s haircut D-Von wasn’t bald Bubba had a goatee and not a full beard Bubba’s shirt wasn’t sleeveless They didn’t have all the tats then. Designs on the shirts were different

Designs on the shirts were different Honestly, they're close enough for me. It's like 90 percent the same. And like I said I could've seen Mattel tweaking the shirt to that anyways to make it not say death drop. The D-Von hair thing is the closest I get but they've essentially looked the same for the past 20 years and Mattel makes enough mash-ups as is. Also Bubba's shirt was sleeveless -- it's the exact same clothing as far as I can tell -- he's just got an undershirt on underneath. And this was just one show, they wore it more than once in 2000.

The camo shirt has always been sleeveless, but he always wore a black t-shirt under it in the attitude era. He didn't wear anything exposing his arms until they started wearing some Dudley jerseys once Bubba switched over to camo shorts in like 2002? somewhere around there. They can work for attitude for sure, but they need a little customization. Sleeves aside, at the very least D-Von needs hair painted on and bubba needs a full head of hair painted, and beard trimmed to a goatee.

Are you starting a second shelf? I dont know how you can fit anymore in that amazing collection you have! Yes. I caved and decided to expand my collection to the Attitude Era. Thank you for the compliments! Are you starting a second shelf? I dont know how you can fit anymore in that amazing collection you have! Dear god I hope so. Best collection I’ve ever seen Thank you! Obviously it is going to take me time to flush out the post-1997 collection, but I’m working on it. Will post some of my updates soon but here’s a peek of my work in progress... The thing I’ve noticed -and let me preface by saying that I understand since Mattel is running a business - is the number of ‘duplicates’ the Attitude Era superstars have as it relates to figures (i.e. Triple H, The Rock, Austin, Undertaker, etc.). I know the Golden Age/New Gen has their share too but it just seems like Attitude Era has so many similar figures with very little differences. I’d rather see a more diverse selection of characters but I guess those talents are just harder to get under a deal (or have sued WWE)? So many crucial Attitude Era characters are still MIA some 10+ years after Mattel acquired the license (Val Venis, Al Snow, Jeff Jarrett, Steve Blackman, Gangrel, Sable, Marc Mero, Sunny, Hardcore Holly, Grandmaster Sexay, etc.). Here’s to hoping for progress on that front...

Mattel were signing legends themselves at the start and almost everyone was Golden Era with a few New Gen, they stopped doing that and now rely on WWE, who haven’t gone out of their way to get midcarders signed

Can’t wait to see updated pics of the collection, do you think WMx-Seven is the final cut off or do you see yourself going any further 🤞😂

I use them as flashbacks too. If it wasn’t for sites like this I wouldn’t have been able to tell you he didn’t have tattoos on the attitude era to be honest.

Also, can I ask where you got the clear small circular discs for under the feet of the figures at the front?
