The fact that Itami was on the roster for 5 years, and they still couldn't get an Elite out in time, is simply preposterous. Exactly. 5 freakin years and no elite, pathetic, Mattel just freakin pathetic. And in that 5 years how much exposure did he get? I don’t think I saw him on RAW or SD with any regulatory. Maybe he was on RAW three times? I remember one time with Balor vs the B-Team (?) and in the WM31(?) Andre the Giant Battle Royal. Everything else was NXT or 205 Live which doesn’t get anywhere near the exposure of RAW & SD because they are only on the WWE Network. Not only that what main singles title did he hold in his time in the WWE? I think 2 Basic figures is about right. Sure it would be nice if everyone had an elite, but the facts are certain guys won’t sell well so Basic are all they’ll get. Look at Titus if this line is cancelled he’s yet to get an Elite and he’s been 100x more relevant in his time in the WWE than Itami has been in his time with the WWE.

Well it depends, I dont watch Raw or Smackdown because you have to pay for sky sports here in the UK to watch it, which isnt cheap so I can only watch the network shows, meaning I seen him plenty over the last 5 years on NXT and then 205. As for Titus, that just highlights yet again how slow Mattel are at getting elites out.

If the stores don’t want the line can Mattel just release the set on Ringside so the figures can at least be released?

Tbh I see Hideo and Titus warming like Roman and Rusev IF this series came out. We don’t need anything else clogging Target’s already poorly stocked shelves. I say they let the series get canceled and just focus on Basic and Elite. Seeing these proto just to have them pushed back is getting tiresome.

They look fine, and Strong's jacket is really good, but I just don't see this set moving that well at all. I definitely want an Andrade figure, but I'd rather wait for a better one, ideally in that red/white/green attire he wore this year.
