With only knowing a few names from NXT at the moment and knowing some will be really big names for years to come. I was thinking it's gonna be awhile before we see any figures of them. Why not have the Basic series do there normal 6 figures but, have 1 of those figures be a NXT prospect figure. Someone new to add to our collection and maybe have it be worth even more down the road because you had the first Seth Rollins during his NXT days. Kind of like getting a rookie card. Thoughts?

Would be cool but Mattel likes to be safe and only release characters that have TV time.

Oh man I would freakin love this. NXT is great. And having a Kassius Ohno or Seth Rollins figure in my collection would be amazing. An Ascension 2 pack would be the best though.

thanks guys. just something that I believe would raise the bar even higher. wrestling fans aren't just watching the obvious smackdown and raw but, reach further to watch superstars and NXT.

If there was I'd buy Seth Rollins, Paige, Kassius Ohno and Bray Wyatt in a heartbeat.

I asked a similar question on the MattyCollector forums: forums.mattycollector.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/1981027317/m/5951056467We sometimes begin work on someone if we think they have a lot of promise, but we don't spend money to tool up a character unless we're pretty certain they'll be relevant in a year (and, of course, we have the rights). Until someone appears on Raw and/or SmackDown there's pretty much no chance we'll give them the greenlight. |

A Seth Rollins with a nice shiny NXT championship belt would be nice. Maybe if he gets brought up to the main roster and does well, RSC can do an exclusive with the belt. It's unlikely, but I don't think there is any other way.
WWE handles NXT in an odd way. It's on tv overseas, they send main roster talent to the NXT shows to help raise awareness, they put it on Hulu Plus(thank God), but it's ignored on RAW and Smackdown. I guess it's OK for some of the WWE Universe to know and watch it, but not all of them? I think they would rather not expose their younger fans to the the wrestlers so that WWE can repackage them when they are brought up and the kids see them as 'new' talent.

Yeah, it's a really cool idea (plus one for that BTW), but considering Mattel short packs divas and newer wrestlers, they're not gonna rotate a regular wwe wrestler out. Mattel doesn't seem to want to take many chances right now, after the failure of Legends, Entrance Greats and Defining Moments.

NXT isn't even on TV in America. We will NEVER get any of these people until they are on the main roster.

thanks guys. just something that I believe would raise the bar even higher. wrestling fans aren't just watching the obvious smackdown and raw but, reach further to watch superstars and NXT. This isn't true. I've been a huge wrestling fan for more than twenty years and I hardly ever watch NXT or Superstars. It's just guys nobody cares about doing moves in front of bored fans waiting for someone interesting to turn up. Hell, Zack Ryder's web show is watched by more people. There's no sense at all in starting work on figures of people who are still in training and in a years time might be gone or have a completely different gimmick and look. It's a gamble at best. If they started work now on a Seth Rollins figure, by the time it comes out he could be on Raw or Smackdown in the title mix... Or he could be fired or doing a butler gimmick under the name Sir Frederick Jeeves. |

It's a really cool idea and I would love it, but not an idea I expect to ever see happen. Just be patient and the guys we want to see make it will get there and then we will get a figure. I would love an NXT Title though with a Rollins. I'd actually pay an inordinate amount of money for that if it was an exclusive.
Cesaro and Sandow are on the way, and we have Trent and McGillicutty and hopefully we get guys like Ohno, Wyatt and Rollins very soon.

Big E Langston is the only guy I can think of that is even talented enough to be pulled up that is the size of Ryback. |
