Does anybody know what time match/time period the yellow Jake Roberts basic attire is from? I picked up the figure yesterday yesterday, but can't find any matching reference photos. It looks like the style he wore in 86, but the closest I can find to that color combo are lime green tights. Was this just a case of Mattel mis-matching the color?

It actually was not a real attire, it was basically a Frankenstein of two different attires. There was some explanation eventual that Bill wanted to do an elite of Jake in the green pants with purple snakes and that’s why they didn’t do it as a basic.

I’d love to have the LJN redone as an Elite 🤘🏻 |

Any and all Jake Roberts elites are welcome.
I’d so love to see the LJN Remakes of Jake Roberts and M$M in that Purple/Silver/Black !
That would be so sick for the next Flashback 2 packs or if they were to be included in the Network Spotlight series.

I don’t frequent the forum as often as I’d like to, so I probably missed the discussion. Hopefully we’ll see it made one of these days ... really hoping to see it made sooner rather than later 😎 |

I don’t feel like they try to do that as often anymore. |

I was so disappointed in that yellow Jake the Snake Basic. To this day I would still like to know if the figure was designed to have yellow tights or did the factory screw it up. A proper green/purple Jake the Snake is long overdo.
And while we are redoing horrible Basic figures, how about we revisit the neon green Sting from Basic 62? I'd love to see a main line Elite Sting from Beach Blast '92 with a neon green chase variant.

Waiting on a WCW heel Jake in grey tights. He is Def a legend that I’m not sure why we haven’t seen more of him? I mean the amount of Macho, Flairs, and Warriors. Jake isn’t at their level in popularity but he is literally right behind. He also had so many freaking attires and none of his figures have sat on shelves. |

British Bulldog, Razor, and even Bret Hart to a lesser extent. Upper card guys who had a ton of colorful looks, but only a few figures. |

Jake really needs redone with the True FX technology, his first few figures just didn't capture the likeness.
I'd love to see blue version of the Legends 2 tights, and an LJN or Hasbro remake.
