Okay so AJ is from boneyard match. Going off pics Bret and Shawn are from WM 26 and Austin WM 19. Is this confirmed? I'd prefer Shawn from WM 19 and Bret from WM12. Austin from WM 19 is good though. Too my knowledge WM 12 Bret has only been released as basic  I don't want another old man Bret (this is summerslam figure from years ago)  |

Steve confirmed in the thread that Bret is indeed from WM 26 I don’t know about the others but it seems that is the line up

I'm surprised at the amount of Steve Austin figures they release, considering his outfit rarely changes (although he's a popular name, and requires little effort as he wears such bland clothes, so maybe that's why).
It seems any decent HBK is an exclusive, unfortunately. Raging I missed his Ultimate 4 figure.

A lot of people want Bret in all black or all pink since the DM and RSC figures are so rare. The recent Survivor Series Elite is a little too match specific for some people. Mattel had several options but needed a budget fig to go with Austin for the BAF wave.

If they were going to do an older look, they should have done Steamboat from 25 instead of Bret from 26.

Even the UE came with a re-released vest and hat. I'd love some original accessories at least to differentiate the Austin figures in a big way. Although I would love if they re-released the vest from the RSC exclusive. |

He also just had a basic in the showdown series and has another coming with Kane, plus the UE plus the Rumble elite and now the WM elite - all in one year! |

I haven't gone looking for them, but I can only assume they've done him with the silver and red knee braces, too? His look never really changed. And to the general public, an Austin figure is an Austin figure. Many wouldn't notice (or care) what vest he does or doesn't have. I suppose he's just an easy sell for Mattel. No complicated designs to think of or such.

Well, not to be a party pooper but I didn't get that ss Bret Hart, wasn't in the fig game at that point. So I welcome this wm26 version with updated tools.

I'm just hoping they release another all black Bret that come with the HF jacket. He's sorely missing from my Hart Foundation.

Maybe Austin will have pinless double jointed elbows. And maybe he’ll have different legs.

He has had plenty of T-shirts. Maybe each Stone Cold figure can come with a different shirt. |

I’m happy with WM26 Bret. I regret selling the BAF one years ago. Also lost the T Shirt, i think the velcro stuck to my sock and It wound up missing lol. Plus people should be happy they can stick a younger Bret head on it and slap the Chest plate from the Goldberg two pack on him
I would’ve preferred WM 21 22 23 or 24 HBK tbh
