I wouldn't be surprised to see a Rhythm & Blues Greg Valentine pop up in this set somewhere down the line.

I hope they make more tag teams in this line. Headshrinkers are a nice addition to the Legend Line Collection

Strongbow gets cancelled while yokozuna is okayed for playing a character from another nationality. Its all very hypocritical and often just virtue signalling bs |

I can't say for certain (I don't collect retros and I was way late to the Elite line), but in terms of a stark difference in gimmick, it certainly stands out. |

Its all very hypocritical and often just virtue signalling bs I'm not going to open the whole can of worms that comes with this, but I'm just going to point out that Yoko was, to the best of my knowledge, always presented as being from the Polynesian Islands, even though obviously the presentation of the character was Japanese. |

Your right on that one. I think another example could be Santino Marella. |

It was definitely before the Elite, but overall yeah definitely a rarity from them and I would assume that Valentine look will be reused. |

A 1998 singles Booker T would be great with tv title Agreed … I missed the older Booker Elite in Harlem Heat gear & I didn’t care for the Nwo & King Booker figures so another Wcw version like this would be a certain preorder for me |

I think yall are hateful for not understanding the views of others. That said, Mr Fuji 100% carried the Japanese flag for Yoko. |

WWF definitely portrayed Yoko as Japanese, and as a kid, I wholeheartedly thought he was. However, was it more them portraying a Polynesian man who was mentored by a Japanese man, in a traditional Japanese sport? There is no prerequisite for someone to be Japanese to compete in sumo.

Let’s also not add fuel to the “PC” fire for Mattel.
