Starting with Elite Series 63, Mattel began including Chase Figures into the main Elite lines. The main rule of thumb: The parts cannot be changed, just deco. Usually they would be current roster talent but occasionally they would be Legends/Flashback figures. This practice of including Chase Figures into the waves continued into the Target Exclusive WWE Legends line when it was restarted in 2020.

My Comments:
- King Mabel is one of the best Mattel figures of all. It is flawless.
- Triple H in red is better, because Mattel uses the wrong purple for that year’s HHH figure.
- WCW version of The Boss (Big Bossman) is a deep cut and a great addition to the line.
- 1991 Bret Hart is an iconic moment for him, so it’s great to see.
- Greg Valentine and Randy Savage in yellow are both pretty much perfect.
- 1992 Jake Roberts is in WCW attire, another deep cut that looks great.
- Series 8 Jake in Green should have been the main.
- Notable: Series 15 Lex Luger is the first chase to come with a second head to pair with the alternate version.
- Series 10 Brutus Beefcake is the hardest one to come by, due to the Legends 10 release nonsense. The secondary market has come down on him, fortunately.
- Series 86 Sid Justice is close, but is a 2-in-1, not a chase.
Some future chases I’d like to see:
- Hulk Hogan: Yellow trunks/Red Shirt and White Trunks/Red Shirt
- Razor Ramon: Red attire and Green Attire
- Shawn Michaels: Wrestlemania 11 attire and Royal Rumble 1995 attire
- Ken Shamrock: Blue Attire and Black Attire
- Sid Justice: Blue Attire and Black Attire
- British Bulldog: 1995 Royal Rumble attire and Allied Powers attire
- Nasty Boys: Red or Green WCW attires
- Harlem Heat: Purple attire and Black attire
- Honky Tonk Man: Black Attire and Red Attire
- Mr. Perfect: Yellow attire and Black Attire
In Conclusion:
The addition of chase figures to the Elite line has been great for collecting, for a couple of reasons. It gives collectors such as myself something to go after, a reason to hunt. It also gets out attires of wrestlers who used multiple attires in their career in one run, instead of them being spaced out.
