I got you.
OP - “Noooo! You can’t just slap Asuka accessories on a Becky figure and expect us to be satisfied. There’s so many Beckys in black already and you pass up an opportunity to release a colorful character that I would personally buy!”
Mattel- “haha, Money printer go brrrrr”

This is a really simple Becky that seems to be in the line mostly to incorporate the new double elbows. They needed to give the figure a few value adds, so briefcase. Why would you waste budget on giving an ASUKA figure the briefcase? We still haven't gotten an entrance robe for her.

Can’t believe they’re causing such a big fuss about Becky coming with the briefcase.

Ok I'm not disagreeing that we need a new Asuka in the main line, but when you say dumb stuff like "Asuka was robbed" or "we got cheated" it just makes everyone roll their eyes and laugh at you. It's even more depressing when you realize these are adults saying crap like this, over toys nonetheless.

"I don't like Becky Lynch so by that logic she should not get a figure despite being one of the most popular wrestlers in WWE."
Grow up. Stop crying.

I ask AFA about this, in the AFA q&a thread. The slot is always for Becky, and the briefcase is only an addition accesory.

AFA responds:
Happy to interact and see all the feedback.
Remember we work roughly a year out. A year ago, Becky was champ and one of the hottest talents on the roster. Money in the Bank was still months away and we had no idea Asuka would win and immediately become champ. After everything transpired, were were able to swap out an accessory with Becky and add the briefcase as it was existing tooling. I’m fully aware Asuka’s impact on the show over the last year as well as the great looks/attires that would make for amazing figures.

Becky figures sell and this is neither the first nor the last MITB case we'll ever see. Good Lord, are you new to this line?

Then don’t buy it. It’s not like the MITB has had any significant impact to anyone in the women’s division character other than Carmella considering no one but her has held it more than a day. Mattel found a way to get it out by packing it in with one of the most popular wrestlers (male or female) in wrestling. Just because you have some issue with Becky and/or feel that her getting figs is some sort of slight towards Asuka doesn’t make it fact. We all know Bill has a deep love for Asuka and if she didn’t wear 100 different colors and designs in her attire then you know damn well we’d see a lot more of her in lineups and packed with more accessories.

Seriously, if it bothers you so damn much then email Asuka and tell her to stop wearing so many damn colors, it’s her own fault she never gets figures.

Not to throw fuel on a particularly weird fire, but if there was ever a wave to put an Asuka figure in, it's this one. Black clothing as far as the eye can see! They saved so much on the paint budget.
