I always thought Rick Rude looked better with short hair. Did he actually wrestle in WWE with that look, or only manage DX?

nope, that's his WCW early 90's look. I wanna say the tights are from Beach Blast 92

Actualy he did, briefly at the end of his initial WWF run. He can be seen sporting short hair at his cage match against the Ultimate Warrior at Summerslam 90.

The cover to the DVD is about 5 inches in front of me. I had to check it to make sure it was '90.

And has anyone else ever noticed that in both of his two distinct looks, Rude bore a striking resemblance to Freddie Mercury?

Nope Mattel is way better than Jakks and their frozen horror faced action figures,seriously Jakks always makes the wrestlers look like they just saw The Ring videotape

They need to make an old-school Hulk Hogan one, so Iron Sheik can make him HUM-BEL!

The American Dream has all the packaging.

What is with the extra slice at the thigh? Is that to swivel the legs?

The Hasbro figures are still number one to me. Just look so simple but so effective, and one of the few wrestling toy lines to actually have realistic looking bodies for the most part (barring just a few who were recycled such as Ric Flair who had the exact same body as Ravishing Rick Rude!)

Rude cutting his hair was part of his build-up to SummerSlam '90; a slight repackaging job to make him a more credible World title contender following three years in the midcard, it was designed to show that he was taking his preparation more seriously than ever before. There were a bunch of training promos, and the actual haircut itself may have been shown in a vignette but I've never seen it so can't be sure.
