Why exactly are they called "lost" legends? They're not, that's just what everyone here calls them. Shows how smart the majority is on here (name makes NO sense) LMAO For some reason in Canada they're only available on TRU's website in random 3-packs (for 45$)...weird. Just to remind peeps too - if you're looking for a post match WM VI Ultimate Warrior gab an extra 'lost' legend one and swap the head with the new TNF basic. Buy a tiny bottle of acetone at walmart and boom wipe off the chest tat and the tiny warrior symbol on his face and you're all set.

I agree with the OP. When I think of Beefcake, I think of colorful attires. I'm never a fan when white or black (non-colors) are used over something more flashy or that pops on the shelf. Beefcake came from the golden age of wrestling that had some of the most colorful and flashy gimmicks. I also don't know why so many think the zebra design is tied to white. Beefcake sported the zebra in several colors before he wore white. In this case, I think some are remembering Beefcake's 2nd Hasbro figure. I thought the figure itself was better than the first in terms of sculpt and detail, but I always preferred the color scheme of the first release. I also think pink is more iconic when Beefcake established the character in 1987 and 1988. Will I still buy the elite 49 Beefcake? Yes Am I also worried about his torso and height? Yes Do I hope that Mattel makes another Beefcake down the road? Yes, preferably with Valentine That's because YOU'RE RIGHT. Beefcake's 1st choice of color is PINK. PINK is his color. The first hasbro is his most classic look. I think he'll be fine without that bullcrapcoat on, and hopefully we get a dream team brutus. I guess I'm eating my words this year cuz I was CERTAIN he was HOF bound? That just confuses the piss out of me...

I like it. I hope the sides r pink like the hasbros. Love the headscan. As for the coat, have no issues with it as cloth jackets are always like that apart from the first dm macho. Why would the sides be pink? It's not based on the Hasbro attire.

Yall get upset over everything. I don't think so on this one bud. That coat is garbage, looks NOTHING like coat the attire goes with and for all the 'boohoo cloth costs us SOOOOO much money' I'd have just assumed rather not have it and had the money go elsewhere. That coat is PURE SHITE, period.

Here it is...so the coat got f'd up in reality...don't ever remember seeing him in this though lol I'll just display without that awful coat. I think like that he'll look awesome. Based on the centerfold in the Beefcake Spotlight, I'm estimating late '88 or early '89 for Mattel's attire choice. I agree about the jacket. Maybe Jakk's coat will look better and more accurate? All I know is the purple gloves and hair he's sporting on the cover is from the one royal rumble he was in so whatever year that was... I loved that outfit. Purple gloves and white on white trunks. It's simple but his classiest barber attire imo. The coat Mattel gave him is pathetic...lmao Like, REAL bad.

So I have been on the fence with this for a while. I have basic figures of the Legends that I like, like Hogan, Savage, Bret, HBK and a few others, and I noticed how the basics just fail to comparison when you put them up against elites. I noticed how tattoos don't get coloured, or little details go unnoticed like Bret's 4 hearts on his tights on the Wrestlemania BP with Austin. So does anyone on here JUST collect Elites and pass on all basics?? The line forms to the right Basics are junk for kids.

Warlord is SICK. Awesome job Bill. Brutus is underwhelming that's for sure - kinda bummed, he was in my top 5 and after waiting THIS long... Oldberg? No Thanks. Rhyno looks absolutely stupid - he looks like parts from 5 different figs of varying scale were used... Might be better in hand though. Steph no thanks. Shane O'Mac - not bad (might wait for the FB instead. Depends on if this sees retail around me). Cena no thanks. Enzo no thanks but got DAMN that's a great fig. Big Ass no thanks. Macho looks kinda dumb but I gotta see the fig out of the box. Will buy two of him - ones becoming Mega Powers mach.
Warlord and Enzo are the pic of the litter imo. Brutus is nice just not what I (or anyone it seems) had envisioned.

Brutus, Rhyno, Shane, Warlord, Berzerker...If I ever can find them. I REFUSE to order regular figs from RSC just because of it seeming like they're the ONLY option. That's just B.S. Only exclusives from them.

"ouch" at $25? How do you collect at all?? I wonder that about everyone collecting anything nowadays. Like, damn, figures like this were $8 bucks only a few years ago, why are they over $20 now? DC figures are getting even more ridiculous with prices starting to be $28 this year for even smaller figures. DC Mulitvere, Marvel Legends and Star Wars Black are all 29.99$ Canadian PLUS TAXES... But that'w cuz people never stand up (myself included yes lol) but if we literally just didn't buy any figures...then what would they do? It's cuz they got us by the balls and people are REAL quick nowadays to just blindly pay anything. It's all topsy turvy...but damn 30$ for an action figure is just INSANE. I'm glad they're at least taking a break before the brutus wave comes out. Even two months is good - but I gotta say (speaking as a candian) the fact that my local WM and TRUS having NOTHING new in besides Mutants and retros doesn't sit well with me. You'd have though BY NOW some new (even new old product) stuff would be on the shelves but no... Last January was the bomb, all kinds of new stuff...but it's almost March and NOTHING? Yikes... There's STILL e39 everywhere. Clearance that crapat least... I thought maybe all those e41s that are sitting in the warehouses would have come out but DAMN NO NEW ELITES? Jesus... and then to look at all the upcoming stuff. If I don't get caught up this year I might just call it quits. I still don't have any TNF series 1 elites cuz everyone wants WAAAAAYYYYYY to much money for them on e-bay and now TNF series 2 is out...

I don't like to have two of any wrestler loose so I've already thrown away the savage that came with this set and the e30 Luger body with the painted face head (I saved the old white boots in case I want to swap those later). Thrown away? WTF is wrong with you? That's blasphemy bud throwing Mach in the trash jesus... I think I just lost all respect for you man. ALOT us can't even find this fig and you have the nerve to tell us you threw it the trash. Holy crap- do you down to the mission and eat subway infront of the homeless. Poor form bro...seriously poor form. I\d have kept that crapto myself. I ain't joking that's pretty whack.
