I'm betting its canceled. It was an early prototype that was probably still 6-10 months away from being in-hand. Jarrett's WWE deal is done and he's back to doing projects outside of WWE.
There's some cases where they'll still make figures of people who were recently released but that seems to be when the figure is already in the production process. Like the new UE Jeff Hardy or the last Elite Adam Cole or Karron Kross. But JJ is probably not anywhere close to being physically produced and he's long gone from his deal with the company. Mattel no longer has access to the rights to make him.
I also think it says a lot that Steve seems to bounce around the question in the Q&A thread. He could at least say "still working on finding out" or something like that but I've seen someone ask in that thread about this figure multiple times and its always avoided. UE Jarrett was arguably the holy grail item shown at this year's SDCC (which is saying a lot because it was loaded) and now it looks like its going in the hall of unreleased figures.

Did Mattel release any Jeff Jarrett figures while they had him signed?

Did Mattel release any Jeff Jarrett figures while they had him signed? No but he deal was very short. April-August of this year. |

I just hope if it is, the replacement is something good. Preferably not another Ultimate Bozo or the hotdog colored jabroni.

I hope it still gets released. Also hope that his merch deal is separate from that one he had as live event agent so we can get SLAPNUTS!!!

I do however, hope we get some more nWo Hogans. '96 Terminator style (maybe with tweaked boots), Starrcade '97 with film strip design, white trimmed kneepads... Now what I really want is a '02-03ish RVD UE. Give him some thicker legs with sculpted biker shorts, multiple heads, tall breakable ladder and a IC title. |

They showed a proto Ultimate Double J at SDCC and the question is if its going to be made or not. The contract was too short is what I meant. I dont get how that's supposed to work when it takes 9-12 months to make and release a figure from start to finish. |

He got hired in April to be the VP of live events and I think once Vince McMahon was actually gone they let him go. |

I think with Steve avoiding to answer anything on this in his thread makes me believe itβs not happening π’
Jarrett is my 2nd most wanted figure

If we're talking repaints I'd like a WCW black singlet Bret. It's a highly requested attire, that could satisfy both people who want a SS' 97 singlet and WCW singlet. Although, there are minor differences. I also wouldn't mind another '99-00 HHH. Maybe an updated version of the UE 2 with butterfly joints. There's a lot of possibilities. |

If the replacement has to be quick, HBK, HHH or Bret
If they have enough time, RVD

If they need a quick replacement odds are high itβd be Warrior, Macho or Shawn

Personally, I'd go for a HBK or Hitman. It's a no brainer sell.

I'm not sure why everyone is saying his deal is done. JJ figure contract was because of a legends deal not because he was an executive. He can still be let go from his executive contract and be under a legends deal.
Until Steve confirms it's cancelled, all assumptions should be its still coming out.
