There are not many surprises left in terms of Flashback / Legends Elite figures with 4 months to of go till 2016. I figured I would take a look at what we got and what is yet to come. This will only cover the Elite Flashback/Legends and not Basic's, sorry for you basic collectors out there.
Just so there is no confusion, the last Flashbacks/Legends of 2014 were Elite 33 and the DM Hulk Hogan "I got this from Ringside in December and the box says 2014, so DM Hogan is a 2014 figure. same goes for the HOF series 1 set, that was a December 2014 release as well.
Here we go:
1. Razor Ramon - Defining Moments First time in the line 2. Undertaker - WM31 Elite Flashback 3. Kane - WM31 Elite Flashback 4. Doink - Elite 34 First time in the line 5. Earthquake - Elite 35 First time in the line 6. DDP - Elite 36 7. Dean Malenko - Elite 37 First time in the line 8. Sting - Defining Moments First time in the line 9. Hulk Hogan - HOF 2 10. Eddie Gureareo - HOF 2 11. Yokozuna - HOF 2 12. Tito Santana - HOF 2 First time in the line 13. Ric Flair - HOF box set 14. Arn Anderson - HOF box set 15. Tully Blanchard - HOF box set 16. Barry Windham - HOF box set First time in the line 17. Hulk Hogan - RSC Exclusive 18. HBK - RSC Exclusive
Upcoming: 19. Farooq - Elite 38 First time in the line 20. Bradshaw - Elite 38 21. Randy Savage - Elite 38 22. Undertaker - Defining Moments 23. Scott Hall - RSC Exclusive 24. Ted Dibeasie - HOF 3 25. Jimmy Hart - HOF 3 First time in the line 26. John Cena - Flashback "have no clue how this will be sold? but it was in package at SDCC so its coming this year 27. to be confirmed - HOF 3 28. to be confirmed - HOF 3 29. to be confirmed - Elite 39 Flashback
- in 2015 aside from Elite 38, all Elite series have had only one flashback, so I am assuming that Elite 39 will have only one flashback as well. Maybe Bulldog?
- I did did not include Paul Bearer BAF, as regardless if hit the US or not the figure did come out last year.
- With the Hogan fiasco, I am pretty sure the last DM figure to be delayed until early 2016 so its not on there.
- My Top 5 are Earthquake, Sting, Razor, HOF Hogan and HBK
- My Bottom 3: DM Undertaker, DDP, Scott Hall "all 3 are a product of laziness" - Out of the list above 9 Legends are first time in the line, 10 if you count M$M as a first time in Elite form. - Hogan, Hall, and Taker have the most Elite Flashback figures in 2015 with 2 each.
- 2015 is the first year with no Warrior Elite "HOF 1 figure was 2014". As an apology MDT will give Warrior fans 2 in 2016.
What do you think of the line up above? Do you think this year was better than previous years for Elite Flashback collectors?
I ll update this thread with some pics soon, as I have almost all. I just passed on DDP and will pass on DM Undertaker as well.

Dude Love is a good choice for RSC exclusive figure, and were overdue for a new Foley figure. the last elite we got was the amazon Mankind this same time last year.
maybe Godfather is the next RSC Exclusive figure, as I can't see a known kiddie brand like Mattel making a pimp as a mass retail release. we should know who the next RSC fig is come October.

I think I might have to disagree with the Rockers as a team they were either 50/50 or Jannetty was very slightly more than Shawn. It wasn't until the split that Shawn took off. But this topic is who carried who as a team. Not who was the bigger star. I agree a 100% with this Though they only lasted a few months, The Ultimate Maniacs ?

Rock and Sock connection ? Well, a lot of people would say the Rock, but I think Mic Foley was the mastermind and played a crucial role in making the odd couple team a must watch. Mankind toke the brunt of the insults from the Rock. The Rock was treating EVERYONE the same way he was treating Mankind, but the fact that mankind thought he and Rock were best buds and had jackets and all that stuff made is what made the duo comedy gold.It would not have worked if anyone was placed in that role other than Mankind. so yes Mankind carried the rock and sock connection.

This was a bad show, when the best match on there card is Shane O Mac vs Test you have that's a problem. Really all of the in ring action in 99 was crapty, that would change in the first PPV the following year Royal Rumble 2000. HHH vs Cactus Jack, Hardy vs Dudleys,…...

They should have switched opponents with Undertaker facing Mankind and Bossman facing the recently debut Big Show. That would added some much more to theta shiity card with Undertaker as a heel facing a hugely over Mankind in a rematch of their infamous match for KOTR 98 at WM 15 in hell in a cell. Big show would squash bossman in less 5 minutes in a filler match to showcase him to the wee crowd. Big Show vs Bossman wouldn't have made sense, since they were both in the Corporation at the time. Nothing made sense in the Attitude area

I hope I never vomit out my ass, as that would require my body to contort in a way for my mouth to align with my anus for me to vomit out of my ass. In all seriousness though Ryback is severely underrated good look, charisma, cool entrance, unique move set, catch phrase thats over. so Feed Me More!!!
