well NXT and Magnum TA have two totally different demos. Most ppl that want a Magnum would be NWA collectors that are 30+. Which is a minority. The demo for NXT currently is hardcore nerdy current wrestling fans. Which is also a minority. But once the WWE Network takes off (and it will)......the demo for NXT could include the younger John Cena mainstream collectors.
NXT is only available on Hulu as of now. Which only has a handful of subscribers in America.
I think WWE Network subs will double what Hulu has in a year......and WWE Network will eventually be global.
Which is my point. Though NXT isn't going to be on cable....on some Syfy or USA channel. It is going mainstream, as its obvious WWE is intent on pushing NXT to the forefront and showcasing it.
If WWE gets on the phone w/ Mattel and tells them they want some NXT figures. U think Bill would say "No"? He'll put down whatever stupid 12 inch figure....or Super Striker Sin cara figure he's working on, and throw them in the trash. And get to work on Paige, Bo, Adrian, Sami zayn ASAP

You guys are funny smh. They scanned them so when they get called up they have the figure ready to go. Streamlining the process if you will. It's actually genius. Imagine if they did this for big e or shield. We would have gotten those figures months ago!!!!

Ascension elite two-pack with Viktor's goggles, each member's jacket, and a pair of shiny metal NXT tag team belts.
And they better not forget to add detail to Viktor's balding head.
(I'm obviously kidding. My best guess would be along the lines of the "scanning to have them ready to go" theory, sorta like how we're getting Bray Wyatt really quickly.)

Not a chance. Mattel wont make a guy like Magnum TA (even short packed) because "not many people would know him" yet people would know some "never was" guy in NXT that may or may not even see a live TV show on cable? I couldnt name you 5 NXT wrestlers and Ive been a wrestling fan for over 25 years. i see your point about not getting the nxt series of figures but could it be that the only reason you dont know them is because you dont watch it? Funny thing you cant know about someone if you have never seen them correct? Not all wrestling fans are like you and im sure many of them including myself watch nxt. my little cousins watch nxt on hulu plus and research these guys. |

If they do make a Rick Vick toy, you can glue the hair chunks from the upcoming Mankind toy to him so he won't feel so self-conscious. |

We didn't get anything from NXT when it was on cable when they could have done mentor/trainee bp so were not going to get anything now. It will be nice to actually be able to see NXT again with the network though.

Yes.....NXT will be on the WWE Network weekly. They made a big deal about it during the annoucement and in the pressers. All that link says is that only the first episode airing on the network.....will be live. It will also have a rematch of Cesaro/Sami Zayn....and I'm sure all the new subs they will get @ launch, will go nuts over it We didn't get anything from NXT when it was on cable when they could have done mentor/trainee bp so were not going to get anything now. It will be nice to actually be able to see NXT again with the network though. NXT hasn't been on TV since the summer of 2010. When Mattel was only a half a year into releasing figures. And they actually did manage to make every member of the first season [Nexus] |

Not everyone has the capabilities to watch NXT. I'm sure I'd be watching, too, if I even knew what the hell Hulu Plus even was. |

NXT will not be a separate series. We scanned 35 people there in October so that we can get their figures in the line faster once they debut on Raw or Smackdown. This is allowing us to get someone like Xavier Woods into the lineup quicker than it otherwise would have.
There are many people in NXT I am looking forward to working on but the schedule is 100% dictated by their main roster debut.
Hope this clears it up.

That's what I thought it was and I think that is a terrific idea. Although I don't mind waiting a year for debut figures, it would quench a lot of thirst if they came out sooner!!! Thanks for responding guys. Shows you listen to the fans. |
