Why do people keep referring to his tank tops as vests? Only two people in this thread have used that term. breal59 and… You! You’re contributing to 50% usage of this malevolent misnomer! Repent now! |

Why do people keep referring to his tank tops as vests? uk and over seas members I think but that's a common term that they use for clothing items like that |

I wish I cared half as much about Hogan figures as you guys do. I’ve got a red and yellow and a black and white. I’m good. Don’t worry, hulkster still moves merch and will always move merch till the end of time brother. |

red trunks with white American made shirt and batb 96 also I’d say Python Power over all these. WWF Magazine cover with barbell… YES. Python Power is so insanely overdue. Jakks never made one. Storm Collectibles never made one, and Mattel has yet to make one. And personally, I feel like it's one of the most iconic looks for Hogan. For example, the pic used for Hogan's character stats in WWE 2K14, and also on the package of his Hall of Fame figure (even though it didn't match the figure)...that's what I need in figure form. |

Absolutely. I'm a huge Hogan fan and will take any figure(s) they give us - but if they make Python Power, Wrestlemania 18 and Hulk Still Rules '02, then I'm pretty much set. Mr America would be nice too I guess. |

I’ll probably buy it since it’s 80’s style, but I’m going to echo that Python Power is ridiculously overdo. They should make it like that one famous photo with him tearing the Hasbro 2 shirt that I don’t think he ever wore aside from that one photo. Beyond that for the 80’s the only remaining looks would be Wrestlemania 8(throw in a Hulkster Rules shirt for the Hasbro tie in), No Holds Barred, and maybe military fatigues, helmet, and Cammo face paint from the boot camp matches with Slaughter.

He wore that shirt once from what I have seen against Earthquake at an MSG live event from November 1990. He didn't wear it in any promos going into Summerslam or Survivor Series that year. |

I think seeing that they used the red Hulkamania shirt in that material in the UE13 - that they should also make him in the yellow Hulkamania shirt also. What he wore against Roddy Piper at the War to Settle the Score.
Two Pack with Roddy Piper would be great. Piper could come with the panther shirt. They could make the box design MTV themed.

Don't they almost always use a picture of the wrestler (before proto pics are available) that shows the gear the wrestler will be in? So in Elite 96 Hogan will be looking very similar to Elite 91? And won't be a "retro" look at all?

Personally, I'm hoping for the following: WCW '94 Debut Hogan (with WCW Hulkamania shirt & bandanda) "No Holds Barred" Rip WCW Bash At The Beach "Heel Turn" Hogan And if I ever get the Amazon Ultimate Hogan that is still sitting in my "orders" box but never shipped, my collection would be pretty complete! ibb.co/2q9P6xz |

I would have preffered
BATB 1994 Hogan
BATB 1996 Hogan
WM18 Hogan
Backlash 2002 Hogan
But since there are several Hogan figures in development I'm confident they'll get to everyone's needs

The point of going with this look seems relatively obvious to me. It's getting an 80s Hogan into the mainline Elite series (which correct me if I'm wrong, there's never been one correct?) while at the same time including the helmet and license plate to differentiate it from the others and because they have dumb meme appeal. I would assume he'll also have a bandana and likely a shirt.
