With Mattel hitting The Monday Night Wars very hard in 2024. We haven't got any figures of Booker in Elite and UE form from that Era. Especially The Monday Night Wars Elite Series and Ultimate Editions coming. As well as don't forget the Legends Series too. What figures should we get of Booker from that Era?? Fire away!

We got an elite Harlem Heat Booker from that era. TV Champ and World Champ are needed tho.

Although the attire is somewhat bland, I could see a UE Booker being from the final episode of Nitro against Scott Steiner. He'd come with the US and WCW championships, gripping hands, and hands that could do the "5 time" taunt, as well as an extra head or two.............
SUCKA!!!!!!!

Booker is someone who barely gets utilized imo. I’d like to see an Ultimate from WCW and WWE as well as elite updates for Harlem Heat - preferably in white or purple attires. I’d love an Ultimate 2 pack of Harlem Heat but I’ll take what I can get since I passed on the elites for $15 numerous times and regret it

If you're on the fence about something, better to get it and refund it later than to pass on it and have to buy it for 2 or 3 times the original price down the road. We're lucky now with the Greatest Hits Elites being a thing, but when that line wasn't around the secondary market prices for some figures was mind blowing. Booker and Stevie Ray both need new Elite/UE figures soon -- they had some amazing attires! |

I wish I had that mindset from the beginning.. the collection would sure have a lot more gems in it |

This isn't a cheap hobby and not everyone is fortunate enough to just pay for something on the spot. In my case, I have passed on things like DM HBK, DM Stone Cold, and other gems that now sell for a ton so for me it all stems from not wanting to feel that pain of regret again lol. |

Does booker have a special legends deal where he only gets a figure once every 2 years?
Missed opportunity for the nitro stage.

I’d much rather spend $20 or $30 on something now and either return it or sell/trade then know I passed on something that I’ll have to pay $100+ now if I wanted Selling my Demolition, passing on Harlem Heat and passing on all The clearance legends at Kmart are my biggest Mattel wwe regrets |

There was a basic ‘98 Booker in the JJ Dillon BAF set. I honestly don’t know why there wasn’t an Elite. There is a serious lack of Booker T considering his elites are always fast movers. The two King Bookers went fast. The WM 19 Booker was the most popular of one of the best BAF sets. I don’t know how popular the NWO Booker is yet, but that’s a deep cut.
He’s still with the company! Give us more than 1 Booker every 4-5 years!

I don't really understand the lack of Booker in the line in general. No idea how we didn't get an Ultimate 98 Booker with the stage or final Nitro Booker in any capacity yet, but why they haven't repainted Harlem Heat too is pretty strange to me. They should rerelease Harlem Heat in black or blue and then put out Sherri to go with them. Do a Legends Sherri that matches the current releases and have a chase of her be in red to match the previous figures.
