Can someone tell me when the hell Hogan wore baby blue boots? I thought he had White boots What was hogan wearing on SNME when Muraco was holding him to the turnbuckles from outside the ring so Bundy could avalanche him continuously in the corner? This was the reason for the tapped ribs at WM2.

RSC already stated that they will not do an undisputed Jericho because they don't think it will sell well.
Not sure why people keep thinking that RSC will select Jericho as an exclusive...

What is the Higan figure release strategy? Get us sick of seeing his yellow and red (and American made?) style before they drop the iconic NWO looks on us? Hollywood Hogan is iconic. After his 80's look with his first DM, a Hollywood Hogan should have been next Elite. MDT is saving nWo Hogan for 2016. nWo Hogan will sell at retail, why would Mattel/WWE let it just be an RSC exclusive?

I was able to find a reference pic on Google, it was a real one off attire for Hogan, it was yellow trunks & boots with white pads

I don't know why they'd think that. If it included the attitude era heavyweight title and world heavyweight title, most non-jericho fans would buy it anyways because the attitude belt currently sells for $30+ by itself. Plus there has been an abundance of people asking for it for the past couple years. I really think they should be doing polls once they come down to the final 3 options they want to choose from. RSC has Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and this forum, plenty of ways to gauge their customer base. They could simply narrow it down to 3-4 options, run polls to gauge interest and then silently select what they think will sell best. just a thought

We have to keep on poking RSC for that WMX8 Chris Jericho until they give it to us. It definitely warrants for a figure; it can include his neon jacket, green tights, both the WWF attitude era belt and WCW World belt. If they can make an "ECW" CM Punk and "Rated R" Edge, I don't understand why they can't make "The Ayatollah of Rock 'n Rolla!"

I don't care for this Ringside Exclusive at all. Pretty boring. IMO

Online polls are statistically invalid, ESPECIALLY on a site where it's super easy to just create a new profile and spam the voting. And saying you would hypothetically buy something doesn't mean you'll shell out the cash once you actually see the product and see the cost. RIngside knows this. The only stats they need are their previous sales stats from all the Jerichos they've ever had for sale, and that's what they're going off of. HBK sells well. Mick Foley sells. The Rock, Stone Cold and surely Hogan sell. Speaking of Stone Cold, he already came with the Attitude Era belt, and the regular title has been produced at least a dozen times. I don't see anyone buying this figure just for belts we've already had on ringside.

The problem is that specific version of the title has only been released once, and was held by Stone Cold, Mick Foley, Rock, Kane, Undertaker, Big Show, Jericho, HHH, etc. The Womens title was only released with Trish, and they released it again...with Trish. Not the Divas title that is current and on TV, but the retired women's title. I believe that warrants a rerelease, and Unless it comes with hHh or Jericho, I don't know who would sell. And also there has only been one release of long haired Jericho. They can't base sales of short haired Jerichos on what a Long haired elite would fetch. The basic goes for a lot...

As has been explained, secondary market price is not indictive of overall want. eBay prices could be based on the fact that only a few bought him to begin with, or that people who want him REALLY want him. It doesn't mean that everyone wants a figure that warmed for over a year at most Targets and Kmarts (as reported by numerous people on this board). But yes, I agree the belt needs a rerelease, but that's not enough reason for someone to buy the figure unless they skipped out on the Stone Cold exclusive. But then again, why would someone skip on the first offering of the belt only to turn around and buy a figure they don't want the second time? You might say, "What about those who are new to the hobby?" I doubt that makes up a large percentage. All we know for sure is that RSC has said Jericho doesn't sell well on their site. He has his vocal fans, but sells stats speak the loudest. Plus you know if he were produced you'd have lots of people complaining: "That head scan sucks! I don't want that Jericho." "His boots aren't right." "Why they did they give him a rubber shirt?" Or my favorite, "I would buy it for elite price in the store, but I'm not paying $26.99 plus shipping for this figure."

Can someone tell me when the hell Hogan wore baby blue boots? I thought he had White boots Just watched a SNME episode 4 the other night vs Terry Funk and Hart with JYD at ringside and he had kinda Baby Blue boots like Jakks Muraco and tights the color of Jakks Barry Windham blue that was a exact match with red knee pads and his ring entrance gear was Hulkamania red shirt and bandanna . The boot color was a closer match to the Windham blue the more I look at the episode than a baby blue Muraco color hope this helps

I think that this should work for RSC exclusives though. They are the figures that wouldn't sell as well at mass retail, but to more "core" collectors. And I think that the new to the hobby percentage is increasing, and the want for older figures is growing. We just saw today a second HoF line with releases of characters that fetched a premium in the secondary market, but may have warmed sites/retail at the time. I am a new collector of less than a year, so I am a bit bias, but they use titles to sell figures all the time. Edge was a mediocre exclusive, but the title sold it for people. The Rock exclusive gave people another shot at oval IC titles.

What belt will this come with? If none, this should totally be a $19.99 figure.. Agreed. Or at least a non ripped version of this shirt too. Not a fan of the ripped shirt with no belt to cover the bottom. I dunno about this one... Personally I do love the fig but would have preferred a Mr. America fig.

I'm reqlly sorry to have to say this, but that face sculpt is total sh*t :/ I like the face sculpt, but I have read a lot of people say they are not happy with this face sculpt. I wonder if MDT will change this face to the regular Defining Moments face? It's kinda dopey but it works for me - look at the pic above it and you can see what they were going for. Compared to that edge scan it's a work of art. At least it LOOKS like Hogan in 85.
