Thought we could use a thread to list the fictional outfits and accessories that Mattel decided on -- stuff that was never worn or used, but exists in figure form. The main ones that come to mind for me are Elite 20 CM Punk in the blue/red that don't really exist, and the yellow WWE title that came with Legends 6 Ultimate Warrior. Both pretty cool choices. I think the BOPPV Bret Hart's outfit might have been made up as well (it's definitely not based on the SummerSlam that it's meant to be from).

E20 Punk just happened Monday. For the tights anyway, not boots.

The Bret Hart figure I think had to be changed to his WWE T-Shirt because did he wear a shirt with Owen Hart image and with the law suit at the time going on. WWE couldn't put that on products. Which Owen's window made a huge deal when the Hart family DVD got released.

elite 20 CM Punk. This figure caused so much commotion, simply because ppl are color blind and seem to think its the navy/orange attire that punk wears. My theory is that MDT knew they couldn't do a Chicago Cubs attire.....and thought it would be cool to just do a Punk in the cubs colors instead. I actually really like the figure....but there are a ton of CM Punk attires that ppl want in elite form, so giving them a made up attire made no sense. You want macho, hart, halloween or Summerslam CM Punk attires? Well here's something you don't want. Better luck next time. Keep waiting till we make another elite punk in half a year. Waste of a Punk. And waste of an elite wave slot imo. basic AJ's. They should probably stop choosing attires that they can't produce accurately in basic form. The first was really odd. Baby blue yoga pants for jeans?? the 2nd is a way better attempt. It was close. But apparently it would kill them to make a cutoff shirt. In there world AJ only wears sports bras. the upcoming Kofi Kingston from BattlePack 23. This is another color choice problem. As they made pale yellow. Which in real life Kofi wore Optic Yellow (the color of a tennis ball). Which is more of a neon green then it is yellow. The real annoying thing is that they have the correct color. They used it on The Rockers tights. They finally made a better looking Jinder Mahal. Unfortunately they made his attire magenta. He actually wore purple. Which is confusing how they messed that up. Considering he wore a purple entrance coat w/ this outfit as well. Rey Mysterio from elite 21 is based off of the attire from RAW 1,000. They gave him the Mike Tyson poncho style shirt, that they normally give to elite Rey figures. But he never actually wore that shirt in that style. He wore a normal shirt at that event. Then for a couple weeks later he wore it w/ one sleeve cutoff. Again, another cool looking figure. Much like the elite 20 CM Punk. I actually do like the look of this figure. All-Stars Macho Man. The attire is not in the All-Stars videogame. It is similar to the attire from the WWF Superstars arcade game however. My guess is that they're based on his look from his matches w/ Andre the Giant and a match against Jim Neidhart. He did wear neon green in those matches (w/ white boots and yellow boots respectively). However he didn't have any stars or Macho Man logos on the trunks. If you look closely in those matches, you can actually see an outline of "Macho Man" on the back of his trunks. Which is really odd. and lastly the Yellow strap WWF Championship. Based on the nite that Warrior beat Hogan, and left w/ the black strap WWF heavyweight belt and the yellow strap IC title that he entered the match with. MDT's explanation The Warrior's belt was a design choice on my part. I know the belt he won had the black strap that night but one of the hallmarks of Warrior's title run was the different color belt straps. If you google the belt, you will find out that WWF actually had a yellow strapped WWF championship belt made for Warrior....but for whatever reason it never made it to televison. I personally have no problem. I think its cool to get an unreleased belt. But i do want the correct yellow IC belt made as well one day

shouldn't ALL attires technically be real, like if it can be done in superstar threads on the WWE games, then it's NOT, i repeat, NOT fake and made up
like the E20 Punk or Macho Man, easily re-creatable in superstar threads
oh and about the yellow WWF title, East Coast, JAKKS released a white WWF title, yet I don't see you getting your panties in a bunch over it

Did King Kong Bundy ever wear that shirt that came with the Legends Figure? Yes, it was Bundy's shirt back in the day. Although it said "King Kong Bundy" but Mattel couldn't put the King Kong on there because of the legalities.

He debuted it at Elimination Chamber 2012. Then he wore it on RAW the next nite.....but was injured in the battle royal and was gone for a long time. He returned with the look he has now.

When was the last time a stop sign was used in a WWE match? When the hardcore title was active, stop signs were very popular weapons. shouldn't ALL attires technically be real, like if it can be done in superstar threads on the WWE games, then it's NOT, i repeat, NOT fake and made up lolwut White WWF title was really used.

My problem with B27 Wade (and for that matter, the elite, the BP one with Randy, and even B20) was that he had visibly longer hair during the "Barrett Barrage." Even the card picture on B27 shows Wade with his late 2011/early 2012 mullet. Why did his headscan from Corre era keep getting used ? I know it's nitpicky and we can just pretend his hair is a half centimeter longer, but it just seemed lazy for them to reuse that headscan over and over. Here we go, B20 trunks and tattoo, long hair Here's a link to the B20/elite/BP/B27 headscan.. I didn't post the image because it's pretty big... i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll115/jdm_mor/Mattel/Elite%20Collection/Series%2018/SAM_2863_zps38c05be3.jpgAgain, it's nitpicky, but that's what action figure forums are for. While I'm nitpicking, how about all the times that trunks became shorts (or briefs I guess you'd call them)? Ziggler's perfection trunks, also happened with the Elite 13: Actual trunks- wrestlebitch.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/ww2.pngFigure breifs- www.amerchandise.co.uk/store/images/uploads/WWE%20figures/WWE_Figure_Basic_17_Dolph_Ziggler.jpgKofi's Skeletor trunks, may have happened with some other Kofi's too, though I admit this isn't as bad as the Dolph it seems- Actual trunks- i49.tinypic.com/15zqubp.jpgFigure breifs- cdn.tweetwood.com/images/celeb/521/35/v1fus/TrueKofi-ec60-570x.jpg
