Elite Del Rio (not the same as the other thread)

[#SHOWOFF]

I noticed this Elite Del Rio on a new basic ring package at TRU. It's not 12 or 14. Has anyone seen it before? Sorry if this was brought up before.

personally i've never sen it, but its a great spot - i never though about looking at it nor did i notice an elite on the packaging when i've seen it - maybe its just a figure made for the Packaging, i dunno.

[Planktung]

An early prototype for E14, I believe.

looks like this one

wfigs.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=wftmattel&thread=232855&page=1#4599763

and the one on the Mattel WWE Entrance Stage packaging.

I think its just a Del Rio fix-up Mattel uses for everything?

They use early release or sample pieces for their packaging. Sadly most get changed before hitting retail and are lost forever. Luckily, not all get scrapped.

i wish they would release that, i love that attire.

Here's the back scan.

Pretty cool attire if you ask me

Thanks for pics
+1 Hasbro

its just a darker yellow/gold and new colored boots right?

That attire I think is way better then what they gave use in elite 14 wish it would have been that one.

#SHOWOFF: To answer your question I've never seen it before... maybe its a figure Mattel never released?

Off subject: I see how people always apologize for making threads that MIGHT have already been discussed before, in case any long time user's pantys get wadded up over it. For any of you long time users that fall under that discription just know that every user doesnt read OR see every goddamn thread that comes across these boards.

I just like e8 edge they had him in black attire on the tlc set but produced a red attire

[alexgg]

Looks like a great figure, what scan do you guys prefer?

I think the Elite 14 one looks great, although I don't have it.
It's pretty expensive now though, I might wait until the next elite for a Del Rio.

Kind of looks like the extreme rules one

That Cody was never made either.

That's Basic 18 Cody Rhodes. It looks like Elite legs at a quick glance, but when you see the logo on the side it is turned. Just a weird angle for the photograph.

I have noticed several of the rings have had pics of figures that don't exist. Or have photoshopped colors. I remember last year seeing an Elite 11 John Cena shopped to have red armbands. They were intense crimson and very shiny looking. This years Wal-Mart exclusive Ringside Battle set had Cena looking like his head was shopped on in all the photos, and the K-mart Entrance stage shows B18 Cena with the smiling scan and an E17 T-shirt on.

They also always do a mix-n-match of old and new, basic and Elite. The new ring has Elite 3 Santino why? Basic 23 has a much better scan. Even BO2011 Santino would have been more up to date depending on if the photo was taken before that came out.

[RybackV1]

Yeah your right about Cody. Nice call. I swore I saw the ab crunch

I agree the pics on the Walmart Ringside Battle Set are bad, but here's that Cena w/ "Cenation", not "Never Give Up" on his armband, as shown on the box.

Thanks for all these pics - never saw any of them before. But as others have said, Mattel made the last minute change to Del Rio in E14; this was the original one, which we originally saw on Matty advertising the collector stands.
