It’s been 11 years of Mattel and we still have never gotten any suited versions of the Corporation, one of the most iconic stables during the hottest period of wrestling. We’ve gotten wrestling gear versions of them, but none of them in suits. I’m talking about Vince, Shane, the Stooges, and Sgt. Slaughter. We have never gotten 1998 versions of any of them in a suit. They made Commissioner Michaels for crying out loud. We haven’t even gotten basics of these figures yet.
And while I’m on the subject of Attitude Era people in suits, still no DX Rick Rude in sight.

I think the issue is they save people in suits for BAFs, and there are only so many of those. Suited Rick Rude is my #1 want, at least in terms of guys under deals. He should get a regular line release with multiple heads (beard, mustache, nWo goatee) and briefcase.

Removing almost all legends from the basic line didn't help. I'd gladly pay $10 for a Commissioner Slaughter or Shane and Vince in suits. But no way I'll pay Elite prices for a suited figure.
There is some real low hanging fruit - NWO Vincent, Corporation, etc that would have been perfect as basics, but I'd never buy for Elite prices.

They should really up the basics to 6 per set and include one flashback. |

I might be 45, but some people on here really need to stop living in the past.

We have had a couple Vince figures in suits. Personally I am not big on suited figures.

I wouldn’t buy them personally. I don’t really know who we would need in suits.

Also during AE street clothes and suits were as common as wrestling attire with probably half the show being promos and backstage segments. To get a true representation of the era I think we need more figs of wrestlers in non-wrestling gear. |

I know that but other than Triple H in jeans, Austin in jeans & jean shorts and maybe Rock in dress pants those type of figures don’t appeal to me. I don’t feel the suited figures are worth $20 elite prices. And even with Triple H in jeans I feel they need new lower legs where the jeans need to be tucked into the boots. If they did that I would also buy Hall and DDP figures. And as for Vince the Mail away Vince is close enough for me for my Attitude Era shelf. I feel the black jeans and tank top ring attire is more important of a look. If I really needed a tie-less suited Vince I would just buy another b119(?) Triple H and pop a Vince head on it. |

I’m happy with suited basic guys. They don’t need to be $20 figs. That said, a 2 in 1 DX/nWo Rude is needed. I’d gladly pay $20 for that fig. Include a Raw is War and Monday Nitro mics and a briefcase. |

Bro it took 11 years to get a Warrior from his 96 run and even that’s an online exclusive.
