Yoko is a huge omission (pun intended) from my collection
How do people think this rates v other Yokosuka? The buckets a nice addition but other elites like the summerslam had the robe

The buckets a nice addition but other elites like the summerslam had the robe While I prefer his red gear, this scan is perfect and the attire is from a major moment in his career. Plus without the robe, you avoid staining. If you need a Yoko, it’s not a bad one to get. |

That Rock has to be his 2001 return. Except they were too lazy to make the Brahma Bull buckle. Y’all expect effort on basics? Look at that Ember again My first thought was 99 when he stole the Smoking Skull belt. He's got the black vest and black slacks.  |

The third was attire people barely remember him ever wearing. This one is fine if you don’t have the first one. |

That Ember Moon basic is one of the worse figs I’ve ever seen.

WCW Jake is amazing! Goon looks good, just wish his shirt wasn’t on backwards in the MOC pic.

A few questions: 1. Why is Jake's snake grey?
2. Does anyone worry Dakota is going to warm like crazy? Because Jake's king cobra was grey, albeit a darker shade than what they have.
I had no idea! You don't happen to have a picture do you? I searched -- but couldn't find...

That was my thought too, but he should have longer sideburns if it's based on that (just as the Collector's Edition and Elite 2 pack Rocks should have had shorter pointed ones). |

Oh the hair’s definitely wrong. I just think it’s more likely a 99 with the wrong hair than an attempt at 01 or 03. |

I'm surprised they didn't show off the Tights Trips will have on.

Jake getting another figure with a chase is awesome. They release more looks that way, like with the recent Macho Man. I just wish they'd do that with guys like Warrior or Sting when they had his rights. It's like two birds with one stone. But they can cash in more with separate releases, so I guess that's why they haven't done it.

Is the grey Jake the chase? hope so cause I like the more colorful one anyway. Grey is the chase, and I feel the same way. So glad the other is the regular because I may actually own it without overpaying haha |

Dakota and Goon are the only first time in the line Elites that were shown.. she'll move quick. Eh, it's always a tough call. I tend to be skeptical of pegwarming reports from stores unless they're really universal, especially now when distribution is such a mess. But sometimes female wrestler figures warm at Ringside, even if they're first-time Elites. Io's Elite warming to this extent is should be a crime, that's one of the best women's figures they've ever done. Zelina's figure is great too, and an exclusive, but she's stuck around for a long time. |

The amount of effort that went into this Goon figure is somewhat hilarious. Obscure, insignificant, forgettable gimmick from 1995? Let's give him custom boots, soft goods, accessories, etc. Certain Savage or Asuka figures can't get soft goods because of budget reasons though?
