I feel like Mattel has definitely underutilized releasing flashback figures of Edge. Seems like a no brainier to release as many flashbacks as you can while he was still actively wrestling. Instead we have gotten so many Bret Harts (with fugly sculpts) and SCSA figures lately- two wrestlers that pretty much wore the same attire (different combos for Bret). If his contract isn't renewed (IMO I think they are gonna let him go to AEW to milk them for money/reunite with Christian), then hopefully he signs a Legends deal or renews it if he has a separate deal. Did they ever release an Edge to go along with E20 Christian?Only as a Basic (the Wrestlemania battle-pack with Jeff Hardy). |

Did they ever release an Edge to go along with E20 Christian? They released a basic in a two pack with Jeff Hardy but never an Elite. We don't actually have Edge and Christian elites that go together. The only E&C Christian we got was in tights he only wore 3 times, which don't go with any of the Edge's we've gotten. |

we have summerslam 98(?) edge from a while back, so that was before the goofy E&C era…but we’re overdue for another/updated brood edge! i’ll take any figures released in a 3 or 4 pack of edge! that figure was super short which sucked Yeah but he wore normal black laced boots so it’s an easy fix |

What about the SS Edge and Flashback Brood Christian? I thought those two go together? Since Christian isn't signed, they should have released an elite Edge to match E20. I think it was in one of those polls. Once Christian eventually/hopefully resigns, they could release an updated E20 in the GH line. |

Not a fan of the guy, and I wouldn't buy it. But if they were to do it, it would probably need to be a 4-pack: Debut or Brood, Edge & Christian Era, Rated-R era, and Current era.

...what's the difference between his Brood look and his E&C look? (weren't they basically the same?)

Other than Mattel having issues with the color purple, I'm not sure why they haven't released this: ![]()  |

I think there are cases where he wore the same attire in the Brood and E&C - Mattel just hasn't released them. The boots are different. Edge did wear some of the same tights in the Brood and in E&C but we haven't gotten a Christian that goes with the Edge's we've gotten. The Brood Christian goes with two of the Edge's we've gotten but the E20 Christian doesn't go with any of the Edge's. EDIT: Edge did wear the Legends chase tights during the last two months of E&C before Christian turned on him. He wore the same tights when Christian turned on him but not the same wrist tape. TLDR: We don't have a matching set of Edge and Christian. |

Edge was never a guy I was that high on. Thought him and Christian were very entertaining as a team but he never impressed me as a singles competitor. Also thought his spear looked like crap & shouldn’t have ever stopped using the flatliner as his finisher. Speaking of, how come nobody today uses it? It’s such a good finisher.

Yes, but Mattel would either
A. Refuse - Most likely
B. Refuse by situation. I am very much so under the impression Edge is going to AEW. 70% impression. Unless, Edge is actually retiring and would prefer a simple ride to the sunset after badass match with Sheamus. Or it's a work for a WM 40 angle for Edge to properly retire. I am still saying he's going to AEW. We may not see that because of this currently.
I do think Edge would make respectful relationship with WWE, and AEW run would be to set up maybe like two or three matches max. Between singles Edge-Christian or a final battle with the Hardyz. Which I think Edge would then exit and maybe sign legends deal with WWE for the rest of his life. Which we would then get this years down the road maybe.
BACK TO THE MAIN POINT SITUATIONALLY THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN.
C. They botch this with attire choices that don't make a lot of sense, accuracy, or something else.
I love Mattel and I think as wrestling fans they have done a lot of great for us. However as Edge being my favorite wrestlers; they have not done us Edge fans that great.
Edge signed some sort of updated legends deal I wanna say in 2014 or late 2013 which opened up the idea of more Edge figures. We got a Ringside exclusive, Summer Slam flashback, The Hall of Champions and some random battlepacks and like two basics somewhere in there in 6 year time window.
We finally started seeing new Edge figures, you guessed it when he came back. Most peoples hunger for the pinnacle of Edge's career 2006-2008 was left hungry. Tons of great attire choices we didn't get. We have been asking for for many many years.
Now we are in the stupid Rated R copyright thing, and now we have the possible contract dilemma on our hands. We are pretty much absent of any Edge's from the 2004-2005 Neck injury/heel turn/matt hardy feud era. We also missed out on some possible cool attire choices for modern Edges. And let me just say when it comes to Edge headscans, until the Elite Edge on the WM 37 Attire came out. Mattel had some pretty hard misses on scans.
On to what I would want. This is hard since Edge is my all time favorite.
Edge WM 17 Attire
to rep E/C and the genesis of his single run about to start. Some what accomplishes as a cross roads since space is a little tight here. In a perfect world where Christian was signed with WWE. This would just be some sort of ultimate two back. And I would plug in a Brood Era Edge.
Edge WrestleMania 21.
Edge's big break into coming into the main event scene. Also is bridge between the start of Matt Hardy program and the 04 return. Speaks for itself.
Edge Unforgiven 06
Edge in his prime Rated R Era, feuding with one of if not his biggest rival. He's in the main event scene and has made it.
Edge Summer Slam 2021.
Lots of great choices but it connects us back to the return run but Edge's root with the broods and it's badass attire. Maybe add shorter haired scan ( I know he never wore it) But you can switch with the actual long hair at the time or connect it to the style he has now.

I mean, I hate it, I really do, but I truly think that he's headed to AEW to rejoin Christian and have one final run with him, potentially vs the Hardyz. |

If rumors of him no longer being under contract are true...I think this is a no brainer that its not gonna get made until/unless he goes under a Legends deal. That being said. I dont see a 3/4 pack of Edge being that hot of a seller. Multipacks are already hard to move. Having one with the same guy in it thats NOT a name like Hogan, Savage, Austin, Rock etc will be a death nail. Easy sell on Ringside. |

I’d for sure buy an Edge multi pack.
Then. Now. Forever. Ultimate 3 pack
WrestleMania 16 Then
Smackdown in Toronto vs Sheamus Now
RA era Rated R Superstar Forever
