I really want a proper face Sid Justice elite or ultimate from 91/early 92. Would be nice to have blue or red trunks, no crazy eyes face. The slight smile he used to have in that era. And the Hogan tan. Hogan and summerslam 91 warrior next to ref sid makes him look so pale. Same. The Royal Rumble 1992 baby blue look is my most wanted Sid look. Make it the figure with the chase and do the red attire from SNME when he turned on Hogan. If they want to make these Ultimate Edition figures, they could add a soft goods of the track suit he wore at the WM8 press conference when Jack Tunney named Hogan the # 1 contender to Flair's title. Sad to hear of his passing. I didn't even know he was battling cancer. RIP Sid. |

I loved Sid. He was such a character and had a great body for body building. Huge inspiration  R.I.P Sid Eudy |

He didn't seem like a nice guy back in the day -- hope it changed as he got older.
He should DEFINITELY have been in the Hall of Fame while alive -- can't believe that didn't happen.
And I LOVED his Hasbro as a kid. Sad.

I'm probably in the minority here but I'd love to see sid in the mnw line in jean shorts from his last match in wcw and if they ever get the rights to animal again, I'd love to see him in the mystery man outfit from that same match. Would be a couple cool deep cuts for the line

I was a huge Sid fan in 89/90 and loved his Galoob figure. I thought he was going to be the biggest star in the world when he jumped to the WWF in 1991. I am glad we got that SummerSlam 91 elite and really looking forward to his upcoming Legends release. We need an Ultimate Edition Sid, too. RIP

Sid was before my time. But I have a distinct memory of when I first got access to I think it was WWF the music Volume 2 and heard his track. All I could think of was how much it stood out from the rest. There were some others on there that made an impression, Mankind's for example, but there was something about the Sycho Sid theme that just grabbed my brain and shook it. The intensity was off the charts, even with the hushed tones he was using.
He was gone by the time I was watching though, and there was no network to watch old stuff with at the time. I need to see if I can find some old matches of his.

My first memory of Sid was when I used to watch WCW on ITV here in the UK, late 89(?) before we got Sky TV. then he jumped ship and I had a Sid Justice mug, when he turned on Hogan I refused to use anymore 😆.
late 96 Sid was THE MAN defeating HBK and the way he called Bret a 'crybaby' (was he the first to say that?)
Sid was always one of those guys you never appreciated being on TV until he wasn't on your TV anymore (I'd sneakily watch WCW only to laugh at it back in the late 90s - but never when Sid came on)
Happy Trails Big Man.

Does anyone remember when the Sid Justice basic was released? I really wonder why Mattel takes so long to get some looks in the elite line. I’ve been waiting for justice in blue trunks FOREVER as an elite. Not to mention, Mattel really took their sweet time getting two Sid’s out. Elite 39 Sycho, Elite 86 Counts as a 2 in 1 Justice and early WCW Viscous.

Sid’s Galoob figure was one of my very first. Every time he showed up throughout my fandom, he was instantly over in my house. He had that look where you were just watching to see what in the world this guy was about haha. He always had that cult following too, he was cheered over Hogan at Rumble 92, Cheered over HBK at SS96. He never came off as a heel to me, he came off like an Outlaw, like he had his own fans and that made it cool to be one.
He’ll be missed. Me and my brother quote him every week to the point it’s just part of what we say, I forget it originated with Sid at this point. I wish he had gotten his HOF induction while he was here.

Guys like Sid are once in a lifetime. Dude was a true legend in every sense....with a hell of a career. Still waiting for my Elite Sid Justice in blue trunks (Royal Rumble '92). If they really wanted to help it sell, they could include his merch shirt from the early 90's,  of course he didn't wear it, but Andre never wore than Wrestlemania 2 shirt either and that still sold. |

Technically, he did wear it - though for the merchandise catalog.  |

Sid was a great talent & it’s a damn shame that he wasn’t induced into the Hall of Fame while he was alive & could enjoy it, he absolutely deserves to be in there … my induction to him was in the Nwa with the Skyscrapers, they had great matches with the Road Warriors & others … unfortunately I never had the chance to meet him in person but would have loved too … I’ve been watching some of his matches & promos on YouTube as sort of my own little tribute to him … RIP big Sid, you & your legend will never be forgotten!!

I was 9 years old when Sid came to NWA. Needless to say he was probably the most intimidating wrestler I had ever seen. Legit looked like he could rip you apart, and didn’t need the corny WWF type stuff to get him over. Became one of my favorites from then on, wherever he went bouncing back and forth
Was so excited to get a Mattel Elite in Series 39. Until I saw it in person 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️. His Sid Justice Basic was great though. The 2 in 1 Elite was a huge improvement. Then this summer seeing the Legends figure. That’s my most anticipated figure, besides Ultimate Muta
RIP to the Master and Ruler of the World!

He was always one of my favorites, and on my Mount Rushmore of “big man” wrestlers.
I was scared of him when he was tipping over jobbers on gurneys, but by the time of the HBK feud, I was fully of the opinion that “this guy rules.”

Last night I was organizing some figures and realized I bought an ultimate edition Warrior(series 15?) On clearance at some point.
If the skin tones match, I plan to turn the upcoming Sid elite into an Ultimate
