Agreed. Also seems like the Wolfpac figs are only Ringside exclusives. Not complaining, it is easier for me to secure what I want this way. Correct me if i am wrong, but, Wolfpac Sting, Macho, Nash and Hulk all exclusive and the only exception is the Legends Hall. Hoping we can get the Luger and Bagwell eventually. Not much hope for Scotty Steiner and Konan, as they are on the outs with WWE. Also hoping, for the black and white, we can maybe get a Comic Con exclusive Rodman đ There hasnât been a Wolfpac Hall, he was only in nWo Wolfpac for one match. The L11 Hall is nWo Elite, and technically this Hogan is too, he was never in Wolfpac but when both groups merged he started wearing the red shirt What about Elite 51 Hall? |

Elite 91 Hogan is terrible. The torso is smaller at the waist than the crotch piece. Its literally 2 parts plugged together that don't go together like some bad custom and his shoulders are so big they make the seam across the traps split and spread apart. I genuinely hate that torso for Hogan so maybe we can bully them into changing it like they did with Ciampa?

Unfortunately I see it having the same Sheamus torso as the last Elite Hogan did, but hopefully it won't be too noticable in person with the shirt on.

It looks great, but I'm worried about the torso. Hogan was big in 1999...The torso from the last Hogan Elite is simply too small. Also, the kneepads are inaccurate. They should be black with white trim.   In terms of the skin tone, I'd honestly it rather match the Utimate than have the newer tan, even if it's less accurate. Personally, I would have preferred the half-white/half-red nWo logo and white gloves, but that's just personal preference. |

Anyone know what date hogan wore this? Or is it a Mattel miekina mash up brother WCW Uncensored 1999 Except his gloves were white. I would have preferred that, although the black is accurate to other appearances that year. |

I think that they decided to go Wolfpac heavy because they lost the rights to Hogan, and he wasnât in Wolfpac so he wouldnât be missing They lost Hulks rights?! No Mr. America or Hulk Still Rules 2002 then? đȘ When Hogan got fired for the racist stuff he said. That was around the time all those Wolfpac figures came out |

Thatâs his regular nWo/Outsiders gear. The trunks he wore during his only Wolfpac match said Wolfpac on the back |

Glad to get more NWO Hogans and this one is awesome! Seems the torso may end up with the skinny one again which is a bummer. I get he wasn't jacked like his 80's appearance for them not to use that Defining Moments torso, but I wish they can develope a new torso that combines the UE and DM torso for an elite slim Hogan torso of some sort.
I am glad this Hogan had the 2 Sweet hands. Hopefully we can get the glove mold from the UE NWO Hollywood Hogan with 2 sweet hands too.

I think it looks sick, the skin tone doesnât really bother me, brother Me neither. In theory, having a darker/more tan colour sounds great - but after getting the Survivor Series Hogan in-hand, I'm not sure it really works. It looks kind of... strange. |

Im gonna guess that Hogan still is continuing the weight watchers plan from E91 looking at how snug that shirt is to the torso. When exactly are we going to come to the correct conclusion that Hulk Hogan at any stage of his career was buffer than the cruiserweights using the same torso. Also I don't necessarily blame Mattel but that tights attire is hideous. And was the red bandana logo by choice? Everything ive seen has it split white logo one side/red logo the other. Remember back when Hogan dropped down to about 215 and stopped tanning? He had some meltzer level flip flop and fly matches. Who makes these parts choices??? This doesnât work for me brother. |

The sheamus torso is just a bad choice for the likes of flair and hogan who had more flabby/thicker body types. The best option imo if they donât want to make a new is the Kane torso. It retains the flab, but also has the beefiness and build that Hogan had. You canât down right say that the Sheamus toros and huge arms donât look Frankensteined as a designer. The figure is nice if you ask me and itâs not for me, but for the price and exclusivity Mattel needs to start giving us unique sculpts and less mistakes.

Mixed feelings on this one. At first, I thought this looks awesome, and it's a figure I've wanted for years. I had the Jakks Classic Superstars version and loved it.
But then you notice the bizarre decision to give him those kneepads! As soon as you look at it you know it's not right. And it looks like the same skinny/ripped torso again. I can't get my head around why they keep making these choices. Add to that, the tye die effect isn't the greatest. Jakks did it better 15 years ago.

 Is it really that hard to look at source material and reference photos? We let them get away with so many inaccuracies that are completely avoidable They changed the spray paint deco to match the exact paint of the nWo Elite version of the belt but canât look at the new pads or shirt |

Hopefully they'll change the kneepads to all black though... |
