For myself and for any other Mattel collecting newbies I am trying to put together a list of wrestlers that Mattel has made in their WCW/JCP attire. Here's what I've got.
Ric Flair
Dusty Rhodes
Tully Blanchard
Magnum TA
Road Warrior Animal
Road Warrior Hawk
Paul Ellering
Arn Anderson
Michael Hayes
Sting
Barry Windham
Vader
Steve Austin
Brian Pillman
Ron Simmons
Steven Regal
Booker T
Stevie Ray
Nasty Boy Saggs
Nasty Boy Knobbs
Hulk Hogan
Randy Savage
Lex Luger
The Giant
Scott Hall
Kevin Nash
Syxx
Rey Mysterio Jr
Dean Malenko
Eddie Guerrero
DDP
Goldberg
Bret Hart
Who am I forgetting? Has there been an elite WCW era Chris Jericho?

You could consider Elite 39 Sid counting as Sid from his 99-2000 WCW run. I mean it’s pretty much the exact same attire and look.

JJ Dillon
Paul Orndorff
I have an extra Iron Sheik in my WCW collection from his forgettable run in the late 80s.

WCW Jericho never happened. Mattel played the "waiting game" and it came back to bite collectors.

Completely forgot about Ricky Steamboat of course. Has there been a WCW Cactus Jack? I guess you could also count JYD from his terrible WCW runs though the figure should be a ton bigger. And Cowboy Bob was around in 89 as well right? Would the black gear Mr. Perfect be the same as NWO Curt Hennig minus the T-Shirt? IS there a WCW Rick Rude or Jake Roberts?

Cactus Jack, Terry Funk, Roddy Piper, British Bulldog, Jim Neidhart, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Ricky Steamboat
if you put their heads on different suited bodies, you could count bobby heenan, Ted DiBiase and mean gene. Marty Jannety and rick martel also had small runs with wcw as well, but again you'd have to swap the heads to different bodies

And going back far enough several Sgt Slaughters would qualify for his 82 run as would Big John Studd. Piper I would argue looked too different in JCP for any of his Mattel figures to count.

Oh yeah has there ever been a 99-2000 era Booker T? It seems like death knell WCW has few figures.

The elite 4 finlays pretty close to his WCW run, and we also got a upcoming mean mark callous.

IS there a WCW Rick Rude or Jake Roberts?You could use the black gear Mr. Perfect as NWO Curt but you would have to remove the Mr. Perfect design on the back. And I think he also had the gray triangle design on the back during his WCW days. I don't think there has been a Rick Rude that would work for his WCW run. The Legends S2 Jake works for his 1992 WCW run, he wore those tights during that time, though they are more known for his 1991/92 WWF days. Jake vs Sting |

Kamala could also work for the time he was in the Dungeon of Doom.
The E86 Sid is from his WCW days in 1990/91.
The older version of Superstar Billy Graham works for when he was in JCP in 1984/85.
The upcoming Legends 12 Bam Bam Bigelow will work for his late 90s WCW days.
Larry Zbyszko from the Nitro 4-pack set.
The LOD/Road Warriors basic 2-pack was from their 1995/96 run.
The upcoming E87 Warlord could work for his JCP days.

We need more WCW guys. Jeans DDP, WCW Bret (in black singlet or redone pink), Billy Kidman, Lex Luger with ponytail. We also still haven’t gotten a younger faced Goldberg either.

Couldn't the Best of Attitude Era Jericho pass for WCW? You could put on the Nitro shirt that came with the Bret Goldberg 2pack.

There hasn't been a WCW Ricky Steamboat, Perfect's black singlet was not worn in WCW, and there hasn't been a WCW Rude or Jake (although with the robe on to cover the tights, Legends 2 Rude would work for a WCW shelf). |
