This is a Legends Showcase featuring WWE Mattel Elite figures. After the WWE Legends line ended the first time, there was still a desire in the collecting community for classic characters. Mattel compromised and began adding Legends and Hall of Fame characters into various lines, including some store exclusive lines.

YellowWhite Winged Eagle WWF Title - Kane with WWF Attitude Era World Title

This line was notorious because it came and went very quickly. Road Dogg, Billy Gunn, and Kane are all highly sought after. The Warrior ended up coming with a white belt, and it is also hard to come by. Ron Simmons debuts the WCW world title in a great development.
