I’m not sure this set would sell as well as you think. It would in my area, and it would move a heck of a lot faster than another round of Finn Balor, Seth Rollins, AJ Styles, and Becky Lynch. Well for sure but that’s a low bar to compare it to. I’m just saying JYD warmed before and I don’t think suited Andre would be all that appealing to anyone other than diehard collectors. |

I’m just saying JYD warmed before and I don’t think suited Andre would be all that appealing to anyone other than diehard collectors. Look how well suited Warrior is moving. That thing is hard to find. The only ones that are easy to find were Heenan (overpacked) and Orndorff. Suited Andre would move great, especially since Jakks never made him, and red JYD would be a throwback to the LJN release. The Legends line is easily Target's fastest selling WWE line right now, and I haven't seen one move this well in at least the last 6 years. No problem moving those 4 figures (87-88 Suited Andre, 1987 Bam Bam, Black Hot Rod Shirt Piper, and Red Pants JYD). Give JYD his WWF Magazine Merchandise Catalog shirt (just like they did with Jim Duggan) and that thing would fly off the shelves. |

I’d buy a suited Andre for sure. There was such an iconic clip of him next to Vince that I’d like to recreate in figure form.

I can remember him wearing it at least at these times: - The last Saturday Night's Main Event in 1987 and first one in 1988 (In Bundy's corner) - Wrestlemania 3 contract signing - When in the corner of members of his Survivor Series 1987 team at tv tapings - Royal Rumble '88 contract signing - When managing Ted Dibiase at house shows - Many promos with Craig DeGeorge and Mean Gene I'm sure there are countless other times. I'm almost certain we saw Andre in a suit more in 1987 than in wrestling tights. |

It doesn't need the ab crunch articulation either in my opinion, I think it would look much better without it. , |

Molded suit would be preferred but cloth would be ok too

Same here. I'm in a very old-school region. Not a ton of interest in wrestling around here since WCW died. |

Great idea for a poll. I voted for the following:
Bam Bam Bigelow (either purple or grey flames gear)
Rick Rude (with a non-feud specific tights design, like his Hasbro figure)
Junkyard Dog (either red or light blue tights)
Ricky Steamboat (either green or red tights with a new headband-less head sculpt)

Bulldog - SummerSlam '92 or short hair/long tights vetsion
Chyna - '99/'00 version, with IC title
Luger - Wolfpac/ponytail version
Piper - new scan with removable jacket
I'd also really like a brown tights/white shirt Elite Mankind... hoping for an Ultimate Edition though. And more Hogans...

Just saw a clip from a 1999 Smackdown between Rock and Sock and Dudley Boys and Mankind was wearing a blue shirt. I’d be into that.  |

So Luger has the most votes as I type this, but I wonder if we're split between early WCW Luger in colorful attire (light blue, yellow, etc.) with title and Wolfpac Luger with ponytail and red shirt.
I really want both, but I don't see them both happening anytime soon.
