Wonderful figure. Just because you Don't prefer the scan or expression doesn't mean it sucks. As pointed out, Rollins has made that open mouth expression many times and it is actually pretty accurate

In two of the pics it looks like a Rollins in a metallic attire but I one it looks like the TNF. Makes me wonder if we will get an elite Rollins in the metallic attire soon

Any fan would find this a bit jarring as it's so different but it is a bad ass tattoo. Good for him for evolving and going for a change on an iconic tattoo

We really need a lot more Brets, such a riches of attires to be made between 93-99. Falls into that category of Savage, Warrior, HBK & Ric Flair where you could make endless versions because they changed their attire so much. Another point, the DM doesn't get enough credit. Mattel was the first company to properly make a Bret Hart without missing out deco or just making a mess of it (complex attires her wore later in his career I mean). Jakks, ToyBiz and OSTM all left out major parts of his tights designs. This perfect deco is remarkable and expertly made. I remember thinking that when I first got the fig, I always noticed something missed out on w every former Bret (usually the small hearts on the leg) or using a totally different skill on the back of his tights that wasn't the actual design. The DM is as close to a perfect Bret we've ever gotten

This attire from WCW is the one I want to see next. He wore it in most of his big matches against Sting Halloween Havoc 98 DDP World War 3 98 Owen Hart Memorial on WCW Nitro World Title Tournament vs Sting/Benoit Goldberg at WCW Starrcade 99 (and two Nitros). This one is my vote as well

I'm very very burned out on heel management factions of al types. It feels like ever since heel Bischoff and McMahon from the late 90s, we almost never get a break. I'm enjoying that we aren't having that situation currently and hopefully it last for years

Does anyone know if this Triple H and the earlier HBK exclusives are reissues from earlier Elites back in the day? They look really familiar... Hey aren't direct re releases though they are a sort of medley of attires and scans we've seen in slightly different versions. Those old elite HBKs in particular are rare now and sell expensive so this is particularly good for people who want a modern era DX without having to pay excess if they missed the originals

There's many of us in the AJ, Balor and Rollins buying club. My difficulty at retail all makes sense

At the time he was easy to find, but over time it's been regarded as one of the best Brets released and since it was an early release, people seek it out now and prices are insane. Same w DM HBK, the first DM Macho etc

I love the figures we get from Mattel these days. I do understand some of the complains and there is validity there but we really do get a quality product. I've been collecting since the BCAs and tonthink how much the figures advanced; it's very significant. The scale, great deco, different looks .... these figures would have seemed like a fantasy to the BCA (which I still love) collector I was.

Hbk may have the coolest variety of attires through the years so I'm game for all kinds of attires.
Just repaints of the RSC exclusive alone could give so many neat attires from his 92-94 attire style. White and gold, black and silver etc
Plus there are a Bunch of cool elites u could do from the Monday night war era - DX iyh, One Night Only UK etc.

Great figure, the dress is really cool. Often times cloth accessories look baggy and oversized but this actually looks near perfect

I think we will definitely eventually get a Blondes version of Austin to pair w the Pillman. As someone else said I'd also love a Dragon Slayer version from his Seamboat feud

I just kinda have the match and when someone's close to getting the belt I dangle it from the opposite hand and just do that when it's a near grab or grab.
