They'll both me in the hands of people in March of next year. However, Nakamura probably wont sell the best seeing how Hideo did. Hideo didn't sell well because he's been injured since like, forever. |

What headscan is most likely for Nakamura? Straight face or his signature pose? Ooo good question. Hard to pick for me. |

Mattel's marketed towards kids that's why lots of kids buy toys. Hideo didn't sell well because he isn't popular in America and on mainstream WWE. I'm sure he sold amazing in Japan though. |

Kevin Owens made his debut with the company in December 2014 and we're just now being TOLD we're getting an Elite that won't be out for a few months...Mattel takes a long time to produce some of these guys. We'll see Nakamura in Fall 2017.

His figure wasn't released until AFTER he was injured and people weren't very exposed to him because he was injured. |

If people watch NXT chances are they know who he is. I was personally excited for his figure because I enjoyed NXT at the time. |

Like always, Basics comes first and then Elites. I don't know why people create these threads. We will get anybody that's new within about 9-12 months.

That is the case but in definitely glad we're getting an Elite Samoa Joe first! I'm excited at the idea of basics and elites of Asuja and Nakamura but I want to get Apollo Crews, American Alpha, and Baron Corbin before them. |

Just met them both at Axxess tonight. I'm looking forward to their figures. Asuka's attire is so detailed, I don't expect her Elite to come with anything, maybe a mask but not a coat. (I asked her to sign in Japanese. I would have asked Nakamura to do the same, but he started signing before I could ask)   |

Nakamura as an elite is probably a year plus away. A basic is probably no sooner than Xmas at the earliest. Now Asuka has been there for 6 months, so she could see a bsic in the 4th quarter of the year, but an elite is probably a ways off still. Given the amount of detail in her attire, I'm not even sure they can do a basic of her. Maybe if the rest of the series is really under budget. My question is will they make new parts to accommodate their unique builds, particularly in the case of Nakamura. |

Something that shows off his ridiculously pointy clavicles.  |

Both require a huge amount of tooling.
But I'm a big fan of both
