Here in the UK it seemed nearly impossible to get the chase HBK. At the time, series 100 was only really showing up in one retailer (Smyths) and i went to literally a dozen different stores opening fresh cases to find no chase HBK release. Gosh it was so frustrating when it was the only figure from the set i was after haha. Great video btw. Is always really interesting to learn more about these untold stories!
My realistic idea for elite 100 would be Cena in purple gear with an alternate "Juan Cena" masked head. Cowboy Brock with removable flannel vest and cowboy hat. Stone Cold in the jeans and his vest with a came hat and the smoking skull belt. Undertaker in ministry gear, we only had a couple of those I believe. And the last figure that would have a chase variant would be NOD era Rocky Miavia and the chase is the blue tights/white boots gear with new head sculpt. OR attitude era Rock with the chase being a different "$5,000 shirt" than the standard comes with.
Not sure when these originally came out in walmart but i do remember seeing these in target early 2021. I actually bought shawn just for the head to put on an elite. In my opinion its shawns best head along with the WM 14 head. If they can keep the same likeness but put a different expression his face that would be sweet.
Of course Mattel will put John Cena in the next line. No matter how one feels about the same man or woman getting so many figures. Any toy company is going to make what they know will sell. You say it often toy companies are not! a non profit organization.
Nice video Kyle! Today at Target I got the legends series 14 Road Dogg figure for $5:99 in Clearance. I’m my head I’m like I’m definitely going long game on this and like a young Kyle Peterson would say, Gotta Get A Deal! 😁👍
I considered myself lucky that I got both version HBK! Brand new chase and loose for the red tights one ! I was able to find a couple of the beard HBK headscans!
As always great video Kyle. I'd love to find this set out in the wild it's a (fairly recent, you said 2019?) Yesterday at my local Target I managed to pick up the newest Edge, elite series 14 with the red jacket and white pants for $5.99, the age of apocalypse cyclops for $5 , and then the new wolverine figure (that was full price; doing some early Christmas shopping for stuff for my brothers.) By the way is the edge with the white pants and red jacket a chase? Still looking for an ultimate edition undertaker and Kane. When the ultimate edition Alexa Bliss and Batista go on sale I'll grab them. I did also see the Chyna in the latest set of elite series 14 at $5.99, I'll grab her next time. Today I was also going to grab a superstars Hollywood Hogan at one of many local Walmarts here in new Hampshire because I thought it was on sale but when I went to the self checkout and scanned him. it was full price. The ultimate edition Batista is pretty awesome I took a look at it! Have a good night. As you always say, " You gotta get a deal ", and a lot of things are on clearance now. I'll check one of my other Walmarts and a GameStop tomorrow to see what they have.
my thoughts for Elite 100 is this: Stone Cold, Seth Rollins, Ultimate Warrior, Charlotte Flair, Randy Orton, and Cody Rhodes. The Ultimate Warrior will be the chase. As far as basic 100 goes, the red Shawn Michaels is really cool and so is the chase. However idk if I would have been breaking my back for the chase or the chase's chase.
IM FROM MD & RARELY EVER SEEN THESE IN TARGET IF EVER & THEY HAD THE REGULARS & VARIANTS AT THE SAME TIME CUZ I REMEMBER SAYING Y DOES ONLY SOME HAVE THE FACIAL HAIR
I had preordered the whole set from Ringside collectibles and got the variant Shawn (red pants) not the variant chase though! But I loved all the headscans!
I have a question Kyle I recently sold all my Jack's classic Superstars and I'm getting into Mattel's now I got some pretty decent figures I was able to get an aew scale ring pretty cheap I'm going to buy WCW Matt and stuff for it. There's certain figures that just seem remarkably expensive and I don't understand why are they limited editions? one of them is the Mattel Harley race one is the Legends King Kong Bundy
Wwe/Mattel needs to show more attention to so many old school wrestlers who's never gotten alot attention at all and have broken there backs for decades and are financially broke just to entertain us as fans and have nothing to show for it. it's really sad. but at the same time we're always getting something new from the usual suspects The Rock, triple H, NWO, Shawn Michaels and hulk hogan. What about these legends Paul roma,Scott steiner, armed Johnson,Scott Norton,Hercules hernandez,bad news brown,Ernie Ladd, Tony atlas, Ivan pluski, king Kong bundy, Rocky Johnson Mason Ryan, Don Muraco, just name a few. such a missed opportunity on wwe behalf. 😪
Just always have to remember it is a business mattel wwe want people that they can make $ from. I’m all for those but most sadly would not sell the amount of the heavy hitters you mentioned
Kyle, I remember getting this set on Ringside. I bought the HBK chase, and he has the beard. Is that possible or am I not remembering correctly? Thanks.
