One of the most expensive figures to purchase on the aftermarket of all Mattel action figures is the Elite series 16 version of Big Daddy Cool Diesel.

There have been several Kevin Nash figures produced by Mattel which are each popular in their own right, but only one version of his days spent as the former WWF Champion Diesel.

When the fifth series of Target's exclusive Hall Of Fame line comes back around in late 2016/early 2017, Diesel will now have two separate action figures. The latest was revealed at SDCC over the weekend and it appears to feature Big Daddy Cool during the Spring/Summer of 1994.

The HOF figure sports the classic mullet that the 7 footer sported in the mid-90s and is in all black, with classic DIESEL logo painted across his torso. He also comes complete with the same black vest that was included as part of the Elite 16 figure.

The only thing missing from the reveal that would make the figure even more complete would be a pair of black sunglasses and the Intercontinental Championship. Considering those accessories are available from other action figures, when it's all said and done, the new Diesel may be among the best Mattel has ever done in terms of capturing the essence of the real deal.
