Aj styles and Jinder Mahal both won the top title on smackdown. They are higher up the food chain than guys like Tyler breeze for example.
It's 2018 and there are supercomputers and 3d printers out there. I can understand it taking 6 months or so to get a new guys figure made.
But 12-18 months is just ridiculous. People making excuses for mattel are just that, excuses.

Jinder Mahal, and the Brian Kendrick are really the 2 long overdue guys for Mattel to make.

I agree that the turnaround time is usually ridiculous, but in AJ’s case his Elite 47 came out within 9/10 months of his debut. That’s not bad. I remember finding one Wal Mart in November so RSC probably had them a month before that? But yes, overall, way too much time in a lot of cases to strike while they are hot and fresh Wow u found it in November? I didn't think anyone found E47 AJ at retail till late march/ Early april. K-mart and Wal-Marts around me got E47 around then. Oh yeah FYE did get them early march as well. I stand corrected. It wasn’t before Christmas (our retail shelves were probably bare for Christmas!!). It was in January though. I looked at Figure findings and my friend reported he had found 47A then, and he’s the one that told me to go get them Granted retail sucked the last couple years, Mattel did get him out quickly, if only through Ringside. Pretty sure they had E48 for Christmas that year Brock, RVD, Hardy’s, Angle, AJ - they’ve impressed me with the turnaround time. Most others, not so much

People making excuses for mattel are just that, excuses. I’ll make excuses for them, but seeing as there was no kinder in any leaked line-up...it’s a little nuts. They plans the lines out a year in advance (think that’s what bill said) so it’s hard to shoehorn a guy in that doesn’t fit in any other elite line either. But yeah, I’m very surprised there is none planned currently, to our knowledge.
