The duo were friendly at first and fans were clamoring for more Goldust, more Stardust and a chance for the two to gain the Tag Team Championships.

It would likely feature a smiling, bizarre version of Cody Rhodes with his entire body suit and his name printed on the back. It would fit perfectly with the already released Mattel WWE Elite 29 Goldust, one of the best ever made of the bizarre one:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ringsidecollectibles.com\/mm5\/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&amp;Store_Code=rsc&amp;Category_Code=toys-figures-wrestling-wwe-goldust\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-973\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ringsidecollectibles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/elite29_goldust_pic4.jpg\" alt=\"Mattel WWE Elite 29 Goldust!\" width=\"637\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ringsidecollectibles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/elite29_goldust_pic4.jpg 637w, https:\/\/www.ringsidecollectibles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/elite29_goldust_pic4-273x300.jpg 273w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 637px) 100vw, 637px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>With so much detail going into the paint and coloration for the real life Goldust and Stardust, it&#8217;s only certain that Mattel would try to capture that bizarre look in their figures perfectly as they have here.
