WM12 Warrior RAW Final Appearance Warrior Halloween Havic Warrior Correctly done WM6 Warrior Ultimate Maniacs Warrior From what I've seen. Hollywood Hogan Owen Hart Jeff Hardy Chris Jericho (DM) Kurt Angle These names seem to pop up a lot. Aside from Jericho, all the names you suggested above can not be made because of contractul issues. The OP clearly states only names or attires that are in the realm of possibility but are not made yet by MDT for some reason. Either you did not understand, or the just did not bother to read the point of the thread. either way carry on.

I really think that this set will not be available until late November early December at RSC, and it will most likely be the last Elite set for 2015. There is no way these will be an October release, its usually 2 - 3 months from when pre orders start until release. These will go on pre order in the next 2 weeks or so, putting it on target with in the dates i suggested. It makes since they go back to 6 elite sets per year, as the recenlty launched HOF series and the returning DM series are running alongside the elite series adding around 16 new elite style figures to the line per year. elite series 13, 15, 16, 17, 25, 31 & 36.....were instock 1 month after pre-orders went up. heck, the only time an elite set has gone up for pre-order in September before...was Elite 25. And it came out a couple weeks later in October I hope your right the sooner the better

normally the October elite set only has 1 flashback and is kind of a dud (e18, 24 & 32) The christmas set is always the big one. So unless they're going back to only 6 sets per year.....elite 40 is going to top this?

It will be his look from his 95-97 wwe run, as that is the only time frame where he went with the Sycho Sid name. his 91-92 wwe run was as Sid Justice, while in wcw he was always called Sid Vicious.
It will be his new generation, early attitude era look, which is my 1st choice. I hope Mattel does not back out on the entrance vest, as all he wore was plain black vests with no deco.

- Ryback getting over like rover, then proceeding to start a losing streak that was mind baffling
- Warrior's WcW debut gave Nitro the victory in the ratings for the night, and then well we all know what happened there
- Y2J wining the WWE tile on Raw back in 2000 to a huge pop, then walking back out and handing the title back to HHH like a lil bitch
- WWE buying WCW in March 2001, what a surreal moment. What followed was something from an alternate twisted universe
- Bret Hart returning to wwe in 2010 was huge, what followed was very forgettable

Ranked from best to worst
1. Macho Man - WM 7. hands down the best figure and first wwe macho figure since 1994, what a come back this is for Macho in figure form.and it is a big Defining Moment in his career.
2. Sting - everything that was said about this of it being an awesome release is true and then some.
3. Bret Hart - This figure comes with all the trimmings leather jacket, glasses, wwe title and even a Canadian flag. the definition of a defining moment figure
4. Triple H - Another figure with an awesome attire and again represnts a true defining moment for Triple H for his historic 2002 to Raw.
5. Undertaker the 1st one - this was a very underrated figure with one my favorite head scans for taker. Survivor Series 96 attire
6. Hulk Hogan - its the Hulkster's 1st figure from Mattel and represents Hogan's biggest Defining moment from WM3
7. Ultimate Warrior - the duster is a 10/10, horrible choice for the head and very small body for Warrior
8. The Rock - a different Rock and probably the best rock realized to date.
9. Razor Ramon - nice figure and shiny Ic title, bit how hard was it to make you know a DEFINING MOMENT figure. plus jakks already did the purple razor.
10. Ric Flair - an awesome figure and robe, but not really a Defining Moment attire.
11. Steve Austin - this looks more like a doll than a figure, plus I h8 the thick rubber neclace
12. HBK - they used the same scan as the first 2 elite HBK's, they also got the date on the back wrong as it says it was worn in 2008 at WM 25. WTF who goofed up there at Mattel?
13. John Cena - Not bad, but with so many Cena's in the elite line this spot could of gone to someone else
14. Undertaker upcoming - no explanation needed

I had out grew the figure phase of my childhood in early 92, but my younger had that warrior in the summer of 92. At one time I had 3 USA card MOC Series 3 warriors. I got one signed and kept it, the other one sold at auction bidding for $395 last year. Mind blowing I know, cause you get buy the same figure on foreign card for $40.

Looking at some of the names I never new Shelton and Dreamer had Basics. The fact the Khali never had an Elite is very strange, as along side Andre & Show he would have been one of only 3 giants in the line. and the only Indian wrestler with an Elite, odd ommission there from Mattel.

I was wondering which wrestlers were made in to Basic figure form, but never got the elite treatment. I am not including guys that are new and will get an Elite evantually "Sami Zayn, Kevin Ownes, Neville,.. or Divas. Since M$M will finally get an Elite "5 years after the the EG" he is also not counted.
Hurricane, Great Khali, Chris Masters and Carlito are the ones I know of.
Anyone else ?

I have al of Macho's Elites and will most likely buy any that they make. However I see so many other attires that need priorty as they are iconic looks of his. 99 Macho with ponytail, summerslam 92, WM 3 with robe, WM 10, leopard attire macho king,….

Mattel started on the right path with rereleasing figures with new paint and accessories Vader, Sgt. Slaughter, Andre, Trish,… most were fine additions to the line and my collection. However someone at Mattel decided to give the word go almost full on rereleases with some figures DDP, DM Undertaker. This is most likely due to cost cutting being a major initiative in the majority of major company's for 2015 and 2016, as the majority of the world's economies has seen better days. What better way for toy companies to save some $ here and there than just straight up rereleases, as they are reducing their design and development overheads by a great deal. For any business time spent on developing new projects is money spent, it takes a lot less time to just copy, paste and print.
Unfortunately this trend of MDT rereleasing Legends/Flashback figures with barely any difference to the previous release will most likely continuo to be sprinkled out through out the line. just not for Jimmy Snuka.

I don't know why the Legends Snuka gets so much hate, so he has boots on, which he did wear many times like at WM7. I am not sure if he ever wore tights during his WWE runs 81-85 and 89-92 though.
Is it a perfect figure? no. is it a bad figure? not at all

Nice gets man, but what the hell is up with RVD's eyes that's definitely a defect.
