No, not the obvious when will we get a figure of him....
But because it is obviously A-Train/Albert because of the chest tattoo and everyone knows what he looks like, are Mattel able to start work on a figure of him, like getting reference pics of him and stuff or do they have to wait until he has appeared on TV

They probably haven't even planned for him to be made yet. It'll be a case of "in the future, we will make a Lord Tensai"
I wouldn't have thought they'd spend the time or money developing figures that are not currently scheduled for release.

They had the reference work to start on Sin Cara prior to his debut. I imagine he'll start appearing at retail right after Wrestlemania, which is right when he debuted on tv. In other words, assuming Lord Prince Albert takes off post-WM, this time next year we'll be waiting for him to hit stores.
It's interesting to think about, though. I think they could very well get a head start on people if WWE gives them the reference material early on, but they probably don't want to take the risk of said person falling flat and possibly rotting on shelves the following year.

Ina year or so, we will hopefully see a Giant Bernard/A Train/Tensai figure.

I can't wait until his fake tattoos start to melt off in the middle of a match! It's gonna be awesome! NOT.
What's WWE's obsession with putting a bunch of bogus tattoos all over someone?
Hakushi was awesome mind you (quick Mattel make a Flashback of that!) and I liked the concept of Crush having a big crazy tat because he just got out of jail or whatever. It helped give him an edge in the pre-Attitude era... But enough is enough.
If you want to hide who someone is, give them a damn mask or something.

All his tattoo's are real except his head ones, which he could just get henna versions of, rather than them being painted on, so they dont sweat off mid match |

Maybe he just got the head one's? As far as we KNOW, though, all of his tattoos are real, aside from his head tats. It'll be fine. Umaga had the face tattoos that were fake, but they never came off. |

Lol his finisher is the same as Sheamus, I'm pretty sure it's more effective since he's a bigger guy.And WWE Should hire his tag partner, so they can at least have another tag team on their division. Plus with KOW as well coming in.

Plus who's to say he won't have more fake ones on his body? Umaga had them too and even when they use henna that can start to fade or come off. Especially in a long match where someone is sweating a lot. I saw Umaga's face more or less melt during a house show once and I recall Crush having most of his head tattoo fading off during a WWF show back in the day. The sweatier you are, the more likely even the henna ones will start to detoriate. And Baldo McBloom is a sweaty mo fo. |

I'm trying to keep my hopes low but this should be pretty cool if they have him use the F-5 as his signature only with a different name. |
