I feel like they're either waiting for the right time to introduce glossy NXT Tag belts or they simply waited too long/didn't receive the go-ahead to make Elite Ascension figures. Maybe if American Alpha catches on and debuts with much fanfare they'll get around to them, but that would be doing such a disservice to those awesome belts. Yeah I'm not sure what the hold up is on that, but I think you are right about the Ascension not working out like they thought. Kalisto would have worked. Enzo and Cass should have had the reign that Blake and Murphy got, and it would have been a perfect excuse to rush elites of them. American Alpha or the Revival would be sweet but that feels like a long way off. Honestly, I can't see any of these teams getting the Elite treatment anytime soon. Except for Enzo and Cass, of course. The possibilities for cloth/plastic accessories are endless for Enzo's debut Elite figure, but I'm hoping an Elite Big Cass could come with his necklace and both glossy NXT Tag belts (a la E36 Stardust or HOF2 Yoko). As for the dull versions, if Blake and Murphy were on the main roster right now and gaining some kind of traction, I'd say give the belts to them in a future Battle Pack. BP38 Nikki and Brie came with a detailed cap and dull painted Divas Championship, so I don't see why Blake and Murphy couldn't each come with a dull painted NXT Tag belt. I don't like the Ascension, but those basics are so awesome that I've almost bought them a hundred times, and still may. Those figs are so amazing that I'd actually buy elites of them, especially with the belts. Although I guess it's not too late for the Vaudvillains to catch fire on the main roster. Hell, they could win at MITB get Elites, and each come with two bel....OK yeah that's not too likely. In closing, either elite Vaudvillains or Ascension would still have been better than Diego and Fernando. I'm fully expecting Elite versions of The Shining Stars before either of those teams.

^If Enzo and Cass would have actually won those belts that would've been perfect. Cass with both belts since he needs almost no deco, and Enzo could get gold chains, a plastic vest, mic...and all that leopard print lol.

They're doing just fine without them, but it must say something for Enzo and Cass' NXT run that I want to reward an Elite Big Cass with a belt he never even won lol. Enzo is definitely going to destroy their budget if they go for his red/leopard print gear.

To me it's pretty obvious that the NXT tag titles, vac metal and detailed, should both come with Alexa Bliss.

For what it's worth, The Lucha Dragons wore this gear on at least five separate occasions.
Kalisto always had the same look, but Sin Cara would occasionally switch things up with different colored arm sleeves and gloves.
The blue/orange gear was first worn on the SummerSlam Kickoff show last year (on August 23rd; loss to New Day in Fatal 4-Way Tag), then they proceeded to wear it again on the following dates.
August 24th - RAW Episode #1161 (Loss to New Day [Kofi & Big E]) September 9th - NXT Episode #296 (Loss to Samoa Joe & Finn Balor) September 15th - Main Event Episode #155 (Win versus The Ascension) September 21st - RAW Episode #1165 (Win with Neville versus Stardust & The Ascension)

Why do the Lucha Dragons have a Surfboard?

That time the Luchas surfed to Summerslam was my favorite. So glad they're including the surf board.

Wow, I love the colors on the Lucha Dragons! Would've preferred that for Kalisto's Elite.

Didn't they release a Stephanie with this exact attire or one very close to it? I don't see why they couldn't release one with her in a dress she wears them pretty often. Not only that, but it was the perfect opportunity for differentiation purposes and for a color change. She doesn't JUST wear black, even if she does so a majority of the time. Hell, I'da taken something like this: [But Cue: Deco excuses, especially from any detractors] Even the red when she got arrested, just anything but black all over, including her Mr. Deeds-esque black feet! I hope they plan on coloring that skin tone, or it's going to remain as preposterous as it currently appears! Looks to me like Steph could save anyone who is drowning in icy waters with that disgusting "blackfoot" (regardless if right or left) of hers, much like the infamous Saks Fifth Avenue shoplifter Winona Ryder's character was at the hands...err...um...foot of Sandler in his equally ridiculous movie role, as per usual, since approximately "in the year 2000" (Conan O'Brien & La Bamba would love me right now) i.e. Little Nicky onward, for the most part.

Anybody know why kalisto looks taller than Cara he is shorter than him right? Do you have TNF Sin Cara & B60 Kalisto? If so, place them side-by-side and take note of the similar heights, despite them clearly being quite different in size/stature. Mattel strikes again with the ever-going-downhill figure scale. Did they hire a bunch of old Jakks employees recently or something? Let us have a moment of silence for lots of collectors' I.R.S. slacks legs. Also, Roman Reigns apparently IS the giant from his infamous Jack And The Beanstalk story! "Little Roman" (and sleeping Big Show) my (Stephanie McMahon's apparent black) foot! Who will be the first to post a pic of Terry saying "Funk U!" to her BP42 figure, as he emblazons the tops of her feet with his branding iron 'til it turns to ash?

That time the Luchas surfed to Summerslam was my favorite. So glad they're including the surf board. Lol yup! Hey look, it's the "Uso Dragons": I s'pose someone had to re-use the accessory after all? Honestly though, the only thing that keeps ringing in my head when I see said inclusion is Beyonce: In all seriousness, the blue & orange reminds me of the (light) blue & orange SURFER Sting, which lotsa folks have clamored for in the past/suggested in the sub-forum. Hmmm, maybe I'm onto something. Brain waves even, with Bill Miekina, perhaps? Uh oh, I just wrote his name, ya know what that means: he'll look startled! Similar to how he does whenever someone pronounces it aloud (i.e. Noelle Foley reading a Q & A). I know it seems a bit farcical that the train of thought was something like, "Their blue & orange look reminisces of Surfer Sting's light blue jacket with orange fringes, orange tights & face paint ensemble...BINGO! I'll include that old surfboard mold!" Ya never know, though.

Yeah she wears that dress a lot it seems as well as a black and white one that makes her look slimmer. So imo either one would have at least made this figure stand out more.

Yeah she wears that dress a lot it seems as well as a black and white one that makes her look slimmer. So imo either one would have at least made this figure stand out more. Ya know, whenever I see that pink one, for some reason I'm oddly reminded of Dino from the Flintstones. Even the spotted print upon it seems to peculiarly reminisce of the Stone Age, to me at least. I dunno what it is about it. In regards to black & white one, I think I recollect which one you're referring to. In fact, is it this one below? That does appear to indeed slim her, as you said, whether or not it's the same. Here's another pink & black one that seems similar to the one above, and I dig this one too, which might have worked re-paint-wise. Perhaps it makes her too Nattie or Hart Family-esque though: Then lastly, of her many vivid, vibrant outfits, with these few examples being not as flashy maybe, yet still cool looking all the while...I came upon this one, which I had almost forgotten about, but always did dig it too: Dunno if she enjoys the garment as well, but something's got the Billionaire Princess/Principal Owner cheesing hard here for Getty Images! Anyways, as previously stated, there were many other options. I guess I was expecting too much, like most of us, to desire a 3rd, much different Stephanie. It's interesting how few McMahon family member figures exist currently, the more I think about it. I don't even have a Vince yet and of course none of us have a non-custom Shane, but we surely will eventually! As for Political Po-Linda-Cool, I can only hope one day her likeness is also captured by Mattel as well.

Ugh. Stephanie dresses so tacky these days. I mean, she has always made questionable fashion choices but those dresses are all so friggin ugly. I only want 3 other Stephanies to be made: 2000 wrestling attire Wrestlemania X-8 (Heritage series) Wrestlemania 32 (Elite)
