I just started collecting again and I've noticed no Warrior elite in the neon green trunks and white boots. This is the attire I think of when I think of Warrior. Is there a reason they've never released this attire on an elite?

Is there a reason they've never released this attire on an elite? Pretty sure there is a basic of this look(Series 31?) Probably only a matter of time before it's made into an Elite. It's really good basic though. |

I believe Summerslam 89 was one of the choices for the Fan Takeover UE. So definitely a look that is being considered.

SS '89 was a prior Fan Takeover option but Warrior wore those ugly red boots rather than the all white boots. Mattel Retro, Hasbro series 1 and Mattel basic series 29 all have the classic green trunk/white boots. |

Thanks for the replies. It was just baffling to me that one of the most popular of wrestlers of all time doesn't have an elite figure with one of his most iconic looks. Even a quick images search shows him in that attire more than any other. Here's hoping we get that look soon in elite form.

Mattel Retro, Hasbro series 1 and Mattel basic series 29 all have the classic green trunk/white boots. Best case scenario is they do the ss89 warrior. Just buy an extra and swap the basic parts over and you have two distinct attires in elite form then. |

That would be the warrior ue id want most. but The promo pic for wm6 The WM6 Poster would be my top choice, yellow strapped IC title, green kneepads, multiple heads (pre-match big hair look, post-match wet hair look). this one would make a great chase (or vice versa), wwf title, pink knee pads, multiple heads (pre-match big hair look, post-match wet hair look):   Could make a great ultimate: green trunks, white boots, three heads (one pre-match look with face paint from WWF title pic above, one pre-match look with face paint from WM6 poster above, one post-match look with wet-hair and worn face paint), WWF title, yellow strapped-IC title, two sets of kneepads (one pink, one green). |

Yes that would be perfect!! |

I really don’t want to waste UE versions of Warrior on attires that don’t have dusters. These 90-ish Green attires could all very easily be elites. His green attire from the goldust match at iyh could be a phenomenal elite though |

kinda surprising they haven’t made that figure in an elite or UE yet. Growing up in the 2000s and 2010s, not seeing Warrior wrestle, it feels like that’s his most iconic look since I saw that promo pic so much

If I had my way in 2023
Elite
- September '91 WWF Magazine cover (to match Desert Storm Hogan)
- either "green tights" attire (or a 2 in 1 as mentioned in the thread)
Ultimate
- Royal Rumble 91 poster (brown vest + green tights + black winged eagle)
- Royal Rumble 91 UE upgrade (USA) w/ leather jacket and correct lavender strap winged eagle

His Summerslam 1989 ring attire is at the top of my list also. Royal Rumble 1991 poster figure has always been a Mattel figure that I have wanted to see made. |

Was he also wearing camo gear? I also like the idea of the RR91 match attire getting the Ultimate Edition treatment. Adding the USA leather jacket and lavender winged eagle belt would be great. But if they do this one, then they should also do Savage from that event as well, this time with the correct colors and include his hat, bandana, and jacket too. And I do like the RR91 Poster idea as well, also wouldn't mind Macho and Hogan from that poster too.  Mr. Perfect and Bossman would be great as well. |

Mr. Perfect and Bossman would be great as well. - So yeah, thats the kicker with the magazine cover attire. I wish I could remember that far back if there was a full body shot of the warrior in the magazine or not...I just remember really liking the face paint from that cover from the moment I saw it as a kid. - I think the USA gear would be a seller...i know its personally always been my favorite attire the warrior wore, even though as a Warrior fan, the 91 Rumble was not a happy event lol. Adding the leather jacket would be money, and of course the lavender winged eagle would be accurate vs the blue strap we got with the elite. We could get a new head sculpt with him screaming "NO!" at Sherri during the interview as well... Having Macho Man from the 91 Rumble would also make perfect sense if you were going to remake the Warrior. - I'm glad you added the picture of the poster, because now that you mention it, I'm absolutely down for all those guys as UE or Elite figs. Straight across the front row would be great...Perfect would be cool as would Von Erich. Those attires are all different enough as sort of ring/street attires to make really cool figures |

Savage in a different attire, Sid, Flair, Jake in what looks like a snake-skinned jacket, Piper in the Jean jacket.  |

His green attire from the goldust match at iyh could be a phenomenal elite though Those duster warriors could be done in Defining moments as well |
