Have Mattel said whether they'll be making any more Mick Foley-based figures? It seems a bit strange that they release a Diesel and Kevin Nash figure, yet Foley who has at least 2 or 3 other figures (Cactus Jack, Dude Love, Mick Foley) only gets one?
Personally, I'm still hoping for a "Three Faces Of Foley" type set with a debut/brown shirt and pants Mankind, Dude Love, and Cactus Jack. I suppose RSC could do them as exclusives if not though...?

they said that each of Foleys characters deserves it's own spot as Flashback, therefore they didn't do another one of his faces as 7th figure

I want a 3 Faces Of Foley set as well. I will take any Foley I can get, but I would have MUCH preferred a debut era Mankind in all brown if they were doing Mankind as his opener. I would also like them to make Dude Love in his light blue tights, which has not been done, and a Cactus Jack from the Attitude era, not from WCW.

Mankind was actually Foley's biggest gimmick. Mattel is not doing this for all figures. We didnt get a Fake Diesel, Isaac Yankem DDS, and Kane when Kane came out. We didn't get The Giant, when Big Show came out, we didn't get Repo Man, the russian dude, and Smash when Smash was released. They only seem to be doing everyones biggest character and for Kevin Nash, both his Diesel and Nash images were identically as popular, and they knew they could move them. I bet if this E17 Mankind flies off the shelves and becomes very in demand, then there will be a good possibility that his other characters would be made or maybe that 3 faces of Foley three pack even. If sales are down for Mankind though, we will never see another Mick figure ever again. Moral of the story is if you want to see Dude Love and Cactus, go out and buy as many Mankind figures as you can to support that cause or just make customs with the extras you buy.

I don't understand all the hate for the Mankind we are getting. Personally I think that was the height of his career and quite frankly Jakks' versions were subpar with the ripped sleeves and buldging biceps. This is the Mankind I have been waiting for with my only gripe being that it could have come with the Hardcore title.
I am sure they'll make more Mick Foley figures down the road. I too would love a Cactus Jack in my collection, but if this is the only Mick we are getting from Mattel then I am OK with that.
Also don't forget that Nash and Diesel are very similar in attire and the tooling probably wasn't that costly for them to do. I can see where each of Mick's Characters would be more involved as far as tooling is concerned.

ppl that think we will ever get elite multi-packs are crazy. Legends 2-packs and Allstars 2-packs didn't really work. They have told us a hundred times that it is too expensive to do a boxed set.
The real question is how long is it going to take for us to get more Foleys? The earliest shot we have at another is Elite 20. Which will be in early Feb. (thats a half a year away).
Do i waste some parts for cactus/dude love customs?

I was REALLY hoping we would get both Mankind and Dude Love in elite 17 similar to Nash/Diesel. Oh well. I still expect to see Cactus or Dude Love down the road. Might be quite a while though. Wouldnt shock me if Dude Love was a future RSC exclusive either.

I really don't like the Mankind figure, The shirt looks weird being a plastic mould, and the mask too.
I too would have preferred a 1996 Mankind.

I agree with your points but how can you compare those characters to Cactus Jack?

I was hoping for brown debut Mankind for my 1997 collection but I guess I'll settle for a Dude Love later.
