Why haven't we gotten a jinder mahal figure? He was WWE champion for crap sakes! And they don't even make a figure of him, basic or elite?  Any reason why? |

Because he was a jobber up until his reign. Not very high priority. I am guessing we will see him in elite 61 or as a store exclusive. He isn't in the rumored line-ups for e59-e60 but I am pretty sure Bill said we would be getting the attire from when he won the belt.

I'm surprised they didn't make him an exclusive for retailers in India how the Tyler Bate figure was for UK.

I would buy his figure, makes the collecting incomplete without him according to my brother as well.
We got TJP. Heath Slater I mran come on, like another has said he was the champ and he don't get a figure? It makes no sense to me.
I love legends and that's my main interest, but for jinder not to get a figure but they make Tugboat and ring master that don't add up to me. I'm sure more people want a jinder then they would tug boat or stunning Steve.

While nowhere near as big a name as Goldberg, it wouldn't surprise me to see him mistakenly shoehorned into a Smackdown version of the Main Event Ring.

They need to hurry up and release him, and then a BP of the Singh Brothers.

He means we've only seen one Mickie James (Elite 58) thus far. Jinder is a mystery. |

I bet we’ll see him in either one of the store exclusive elite lines or obv elite line it self. As a collector of both flashback and current roster I honestly can’t wait till we see him in the line. Hopefully he’s in his purple trunks. That’s a great attire for a figure.

The time it takes Mattel to manufacture and get a figure to shelves really is ridiculous. It’s been a problem with them throughout their time with WWE. The only figure I can remember taking a reasonable amount of time was Brock’s first basic, he debuted around Wrestlemania and I recall having him in hand by about late October, early November. There’s no reason Mattel can’t be shooting for this sort of timeframe with every major character.
WWE really should be demanding that Mattel do all they can to reduce the time it takes to get figures out. Kurt Angle re-signed in January last year, The Hardyz in early April, we should have seen numerous battle packs, elites and basics of these guys in stores at Christmas time.
The fact that we’ve had just one marginalised, Goldberg figure in the almost 2 years since he signed with WWE shows the utter greed and contempt that Mattel treat their customers with. I guarantee you, given the sort of character Bill Goldberg is, that he wouldn’t be at all happy if he knew that the only way kids could get their hands on his figure is by their parents shelling out a small fortune.
I fully expect to not see a Ronda figure until around Summerslam ‘19. Talk about striking while the iron’s hot.
