I'm pretty sure they're twins. Even though you can easily tell them apart. You can tell most twins apart by personality, like the Bellas. Personality and Bella's only go together in a sentence if that sentence is "The Bella twins lack anything resembling personality". Nah. Nikki Bella is the bubbly one and Brie Bella is the smart one. They have completely different personalities.

I only collect Elites of my favourite guys (and Flashbacks), so Jimmy and Jey would be instant buys for me. Preferably in lime green and with their shirts and tag belts.

It's about time they get elites I would get them. Even though they look identical look at how many similar looking guys Mattel has put in the same sets Legends 1 Road Warriors, Legends 4 Demolition, Elite 25 Shield, Elite 30 Legion of Doom. same attires on all of them just different heads

Lock this thread. We've heard this too many times.

Even though they look identical look at how many similar looking guys Mattel has put in the same sets Legends 1 Road Warriors, Legends 4 Demolition, Elite 25 Shield, Elite 30 Legion of Doom. same attires on all of them just different heads Uso's would also have very similar looking heads to most parents. And to put the Usos in the same category as the Road Warriors is a joke. The Road Warriors will be purchased by 90% of the collectors and they are wrestlers most parents would know. Especially if they were wrestling fans when they were younger. And even if they don't know them kids will love them because they look cool. So they would move because almost everyone would want them. The Shield was the hottest thing around last year and their figures were released around the holidays. So parents were willing to drop $35+ on 2 figures. But still all 3 weren't in the same set. And all 3 have different looks. The Usos are twins so if they are released together in the same series and not during the holiday season one or both will be warming the pegs. Because after the few collectors in an area purchase their set (I know I will pass like I did on the battle pack) most parents will only buy one or the other. (Warpaint on opposite sides of the face isn't enough of a difference) They aren't going to drop $35+ on two elites when they can get a battle pack for $20. So if they are released it has to be in separate waves of during the holiday season or they will warm.

I thought it was pretty obvious that I was joking. When did the fact that they're twins ever get brought up as being the reason why they haven't had elites made. I can't figure out why the op would assume that was the reason, unless mattel said that was the reason, in which case I would agree that it's a dumb reason. Mattel said The Shield couldn't be in the same set because their attires were too similar and stores wouldn't want that many figures that matched in the same set. In the case of the Usos, other than tattoo detail and which side of their face the facepaint is on, they would look nearly identical, so Matty couldn't very well pack them both 2x per case. Hell, they might not even be willing to do 2x and 1x. However, MDT never said that was the reason why they weren't being made. They only said TV time. They haven't really done a proper Q&A where they've been asked since the Usos started to get on TV. The point you raise about the option of packing each one per case really shoots down the "they look too similar" rationale when cases contain more than one of the exact same figure. they can also have two vastly different facial expressions. I wouldn't even be that pissed if they had completely different color attires. I just want more Uso figs.

Most of the figures (4 out of 6) are one per case to begin with. I would say make them a 1 per 2 case figure like they did with Nash/Diesel or Hart Dynasty, but the truth is the retailers don't spread their shipment evenly. With e7 I did see almost equal amounts of both, but with e16 I saw at least 20 Diesel's and only one Nash. So for those that do want the Usos that would be a crap shoot that the cases were spread evenly. The best bet is to release them in different waves.

But, like I said, that wasn't Mattel's' reasoning for the Usos. It was only that they weren't on TV. Elite 31 or 32 is really the most realistic timeframe we could expect elite versions of them since they got TV, so I'd really just wait and see at this point.

The only reason I put the Road Warriors(they sat on shelves in TRU for months until christmas came around, they were about 15 of each at 1 point) in the same category is because parents wont drop between 40.00-50.00 depending on store on the elite figures for kids. After the few collectors in my area get their figures most of the time the figures sit on the shelves until there's a sale on them. The only reason the Shield moved was because of the holiday season and they were on sale for 14.00. Even if parents know who the guys are most of them take a while to move.
Mattel could put them in back to back elite sets like they did with the Outlaws, Shield, Wyatts, Air Boom. Look at the Basic 3MB they did released them over a few sets.

I would prefer elite Usos if they took the place of another Cena/Orton/Sheamus/Del Rio repaint. I might be bothered a little if they took a spot from a flashback X-Pac, Hogan, Flair, Sting, etc. though. Despite winning the tag titles, they're still in that gray area for me where I'm unsure if I really need elite figures.

Like: 2 x Uso A 2 x Uso B 1 x Justin Gabriel 1 x Tyson Kidd 1 x The Miz 1 x Barry Horowitz

Way past due.....I'm pretty sure they will be made soon. I mean they are putting them in storylines with Cena lately, they are current Tag champs, and most Tag champs have been released in 2 seperate elite series ex. air Boom and Team Hell No. Give it time
