I think Mattel picked his best gimmick because it came with the most accessories.
I'm sure Booker T will have more figures in the future.

They have never made a WCW figure why would they start with Booker, and they said a Nwo Fig is coming this year? We all know its Nash why would they make a WCW Macho man that was only in WCW.

Running out? I don't have ANY spare Mattel gear like pads.
I have Cody's knee pads off though, but it's those giant ones that I'll probably never use.
I wish I had some spare elbow ones.

I'm constantly looking cheap SS heritage Orton figs cuz I can use the elbow n knee pads. Plus if I sell or trade a fig I usually keep the accessories so after a while it adds up. But its like mattel cheaps out on these. The DM Bret came with no knee pads, this Booker no elbow pads n the RSE Bret doesn't have any elbow pads either. Its a small piece of plastic it can't increase their budget by that much. If a guy wore them then put it on the fig. |

I still can't believe Mattel thinks "King Booker" was the highlight of his career. It makes no sense to me when they make decisions like that. We should have got a real Flashback Booker in his Harlem Heat attire. I want a Booker figure but I absolutely hated the King gimmick. And who out there actually remembers Harlem Heat, aside from us on the boards and some old-school wrestling fans? Mattel has to sell their product, so they can't put out something that won't sell to the mass audience. A lot more people remember King Booker than they do Harlem Heat. By picking his King Booker attire over a Harlem Heat or normal Booker T attire, they are able to have a figure that people will remember with accessories that justify the Elite pricing. My question is, we have Macho King, King Sheamus, and King Booker.. So where is Jerry "The King" Lawler??? |

I love the figure. I wish 1 hand had the pinky pose. I think it would be cool if with certain superstars you would get extra hands to swap (for eg, with Zack Ryder you could get a L finger and I finger hands, and Booker you could get pinky hand and open hand for the 5 time WCW Champion pose).
