What about Eva a getting a figure before Aksana did? Eva only her got figure because part of a Total Divas episode storyline was her getting scanned for it, so they figured the people who watch it (primarily women) would enquire about it. Too bad she doesn't realise ALL Divas figures have the same body mould and said what a great job they did on her 'puppies'. I guess this is a prime example of a figure being 'rushed out'?

That Eva Fig was gonna be released regardless if they showed It on total divas.My Main Problem is why she is being rushed so quickly?.What is it about Eva Marie that makes them think "We Gotta get her out there soon".It's not fair that someone like Aksana whos been there longer then her and she didn't even get one but for some reason Eva has to be Made so quickly?

Does this mean no new divas figures will be show at SDCC? If so thats really annoying.. This, like really? No divas being shown Thursday is SUPER annoying I hope that Mattel is lying and that we will all be surprised when we see new divas figures. But i doubt that will happen

Patience. It will be rewarded. Just not this weekend. So you want to tell me we dont going to see any proto Pics at the Panel ? No Paige ? No Lita ? No Summer Rea ? No Emma ? No Stephanie McMahon ? If not i hope you guys atleast show us a Hollywood/Hulk Hogan, Razor Ramon/Scott Hall, X-Pac and other most wanted Legend Figures. And i still want to know why you never released a Aksana Figure during the last 4 Years you had the Time to release a Figure of her... And it wont hurt anybody that works for Mattel if you would tell us that !

By now, I believe summer and steph should be in a very near basic line. They've both been on tv for a lengthy time.
But they're not going to care about updating some like Cameron, because she had a figure within the past year
So yea, I kinda see where you're coming from

its pretty pointless to complain about lack of upcoming divas 1 day before SDCC those line-ups from yesterday only go up to about late october-early november if after SDCC...if u still don't see Steph or Summer....then ok Those are the line-ups through the end of the year actually. well.....elite 30 and 31 are scheduled for August. meaning elite 32 should be here in October. Basic 43 is listed for August, which puts b46 in November. so either you're wrong. Or this will be the first year that there isn't an elite set released after October (and e7, e13, e19 and e26 were just flukes)

I can never find divas figures in my area. And I wish mattel would release more of them. This has to be the worst year for divas figures yet..

What about the other stuff I said.What about Layla not even getting an updated figure or Eva a getting a figure before Aksana did? Layla was out injured for the longest time, and recently just popped back up a few months ago. Eva is consistently on TV now and on Total Divas, and Aksana was barely used and got released. She returned early 2013 lol

B35-46 and E25-31 are the 2014 releases. Anything after that is gonna be a 2015 set. Ringside will have them earlier like they always do.

Ringside will have them earlier like they always do. stop with the hypothetical retail release date nonsense. this is an RSC board. We go by RSC dates. If we went by retail dates......then there would only be 4 elite sets a year. Because thats what MY stores get. Every where is different.

Couldn't care less. Why can nobody every get this right?! It's not hard. But yeah the lack of diva is crap, yet we get another kane. I'll be pissed off if it's not corporate kane, and another masked one. We need an updated Devils favorite demon Kane. He's been wearing a new singlet since WM29....... Hows it different? Looks like he's had the same one since he returned the mask the first time

Why have they made a figure of one of the main stars of one of their key new shows? The answer is in the question.

Show me one of these current roster Divas who has put in the time and has a personality as big as Undertaker, Rey Mysterio, Kane, etc. Then we'd be having a real discussion about why there aren't more divas rather than Ringside got a small quantity of that 0.5 per case figure and sold it for 40 bucks to someone who can't wait so that must mean divas are insanely popular.

and your point? Mattel is a multi million dollar company. They're going to maximize their profits at every chance they can get. If Diva figures were such hot cakes and flew off the shelves at a "mass produced" rate, then they wouldnt be making them at a 1/.5 per case scenario. We as fans/collectors dont have numbers to back up our statements but Mattel does. If Mattel isnt releasing them as max rate, that clearly means they're not big sellers. And before anyone tries to argue the "oh but I can sell mine for $XX on ebay", because they're released in a limited number their secondary value is higher, mostly because of scalpers. Secondary market value is a TERRIBLE guide for how much something is desired/wanted. I'm going off of you saying that "if you rush everything out, there won't be anything left" the fact is there will always be somthing between an attire change, hair color change, gimmick change, and exc. so don't even with that. Diva figures are also normally the first ones put in back order/ sold out online. Eva Marie for example, she was put on back order before anyone really even knew she was up for pre order. I get that there will be attire changes but most of them are very insignificant where it doesnt warrant a new figure. Yes, Cena comes out wearing Blue Monday Mattel is going to get right on the ball making a new one. But Cena is arguably the most popular wrestler in the company and his Elite figures sell. The reason, again (for like the 4th time in this thread alone) that Divas go on backorder/sell out is because they're short packed. For every 4-5 of X super star they (RSC) get, they get 1 diva figure. They do this because the only other time a diva figure was mass produced, is shelf warmed for months (some could say years as I picked up a second like 2 years after the fact). I get that there is a small group of diva collectors out there, at the bottom of my legends display I have my own Divas collection.... but the fact is the divas collector market is the smallest of the 3 groups behind current line & Legends/Flashbacks.
