Opinions on which of these two is better? I know Elite 55 comes with the Undisputed Title, but I am not judging just based on that.
Does the 55 have bigger arms than the 18? I cant tell from pictures but it looks like it to me. If they are both size / build wise the same I think I would go Elite 18 as I like the Red Devil shirt better than the one coming with the Elite 55.
Anyone with 1 or both of them have thoughts on which is better?

I only have e18 but I can’t imagine they’re any different formula wise. They were both pre extra hands or double jointed elbows. To me the e18 is more recognizable shirt, I just bought an undisputed title off eBay to put with it.

18 is better it’s the most recognizable short hair biker Taker
And tbh 55 should have a different head because he was slicking his hair and starting to let it grow again for the Deadman return

Same figure minus the pants logo, tshirt, 18 having reddish hair and 55 having more brown/black and 55 coming with a title
Both solid figures

E18 is the best but i’m biased because that was my favorite incarnation of Undertaker, that’s from his early Big Evil days in 02
E55 is more towards the end of that gimmick in 03 , and has that great title with it.

Pretty much what others are saying
Ones more 2002 rep and the other is more 2003 later look for Taker.
I regret not getting Elite 55; but I got the elite 18 back in 2013.
Would be cool like others are saying to have gotten elite 55 with longer hair.
Wouldn’t mind another big evil I’d love to get taker from the episode of SD after WM XX

I have them both. They’re the exact same figure except for the logo on the pants and I think the hair color may be a bit different. There’s also a possibility of one having a painted singlet versus a painted torso. I forget.
In fact, the figures are so similar (barring the different logos on the pants) that I put a long-haired Taker head on my E18 Taker for a 2001 look that is a much better figure than the RSC rubber top exclusive. And the E55 is just my default 2002-2003 short-haired Taker.
But, man, could that Undisputed belt use a resize. The small one is way too small and the big one from Brock figures is way too big.

I have both MOC and the elite 18 is the more iconic look with short hair. Elite 55 while it looks good was around the time big evil was about to be buried alive and never to be seen again which was awesome. 👍
