A Best of Attitude Era series with Stone Cold, The Rock and Chris Jericho in it was cancelled after 1 wave. That shouldve told you about the odds of getting The Corporation in suits.

I'd still prefer a Shane suited up with sneakers that don't look like clown shoes!

I've seen several interviews where toy company representatives said that figures in suits don't sell as well, but I can't imagine an Attitude era Vince McMahon not doing well.
Hell, just throw him in a basic two-pack with Austin, Rock, Taker, etc.

Hell, just throw him in a basic two-pack with Austin, Rock, Taker, etc. That’s a crock of crapbecause the only one I was ever easily able to find was GM Kurt Angle. That’s in multiple states. Even current Triple H sold better than current HBK. Except for 2-packs, but those were almost always easy to find because people get weird about buying 2 figures for $20. I would love a Stooges 2-pack or a Shane & Vince 2-pack. |

Headswap young Shane onto the newest HHH I don’t have an extra young Shane head because they only released it twice and the basic never made it to my area. |

Suited people are great for dioramas, set ups and displays.
All the mentioned guys would be awesome.

The only one that is exceedingly hard to customize at this point is Vince. Vince you have the issue that he wore his shirt open collared like the new suited Triple H figure, but the suit-jacket was styled like the OLD triple H figure. Plus, he wore it buttoned.
If you wanted to make a proper Attitude Era Vince, you would have to take the new Trips fig, remove the jacket, get an OLD Trips figure, very carefully remove the jacket so that it can be re-attached, then put it on the new figure. Obviously, you'd have to give the thing a coat of paint, Vinny Mac didn't wear black on black back then, that was Shane's thing. He actually tended more towards earthy tones like warm greys and browns. Black jacket on white shirt would work in a pinch though.
That's the best idea I have for an AE Vince body and, in reality, it wouldn't be right even then because the height would be off. Vince is shorter than Hunter. On top of that, you'd probably use the same new-Trips figure for Shane and Shane and Vince are not the same height.
However, all that said, Corporation Shane is as easy as taking the jacket off the new Triple H figure and headswapping him. If you want to get really fancy, put the Ellering BAF Jacket piece over the torso. (Or paint Shane's original Battle Pack figure jacket black.) From my understanding, Patterson and Brisco are as simple as headswaps for other suited figures. I believe most people use Heyman for Patterson.
Commissioner Slaughter, though, I have no fudging idea. He's one I don't think is even really possible with the parts we have available.

The issue with that is that shane had zero muscle in 1999 and had a round baby-face. Current Shane (the "Old-Shane" head) is from when he actually started working out. He's much leaner now.
Of course, if you look at the two different heads, they both go too far in their respective directions. Of the two, the older sculpt looks more like him but it doesn't look much at all like he did in 1999.
I will say those WMXV Shane's have gotten annoyingly expensive. about 30 bucks for one shipped these days. The need to release another flashback basic so I can get more heads.

We desperately need a Vince in an open suit and Shane in his all black button-up.
