Because we all BO-lieved in him!
Honestly though, just look at the figure. It didn't cost anything to produce yet it's a great, accurate Bo.

This is likely to happen again. Why? Not every star in NXT is going to go on and 'make it' on the main roster. Some are going to Max out in NXT and MDT seems to have a bit of man crush on guys from NXT. And rightly so, but when we look back we are going to question why we have a figure of X, when we don't have a flashback of Y. This argument could be made for the Accession, Awesome figures, but if you look at their main roster time they are 1 step above jobbers at this point. And much like Dallas, they had a big push up front and then amounted to jack sh*t. All that said, I'll take the odd 'mistake' (assuming you see it that way) so we get figures like e41 Finn, KO and Joe's debut figures etc. Bo, Ascension, Vaudevillains, Dana Brooke, Tyler Breeze big fish in small pond |

Like every one said he was over in NXT and the beginning part of his main roster debut. I was so excited when we saw his elite for the first time and glad I'm to own it. Hope we get another one down the line.

Elites of the Ascension really made no sense. They got basics right away, fine, but they had already been paddling the canoe to jobberville and back for years when they got Elites. I don't mind; I like the team and bought the Elites, but judging by Mattel's usual criteria, they never should have been made. I wish we'd gotten Elite Vaudevillains but that ship has sailed.

I did not bo-lieve and I don't know why he is still on the roster. His voice and face are really creepy and his gimmick was as silly as Adam Rose. I saw his basic and elite figures every where.
Why they did not pair him with his brother is beyond me. He could have been Wyatt's enforcer for a few years and worked his way up the roster.

Bo, Ascension, Vaudevillains, Dana Brooke, Tyler Breeze big fish in small pond See the thing is Elite Ascension were high in demand for a long time and Bill himself has admitted that he's a fan of flashy attired figures. I still haven't gave up on them either Breezango are currently getting pushed so anything can happen. |

I Bo-lieved back then but I guess Vince and co. didn't. I'm more puzzled by how Los Matadores got elites. I was fine with Primo and Epico but I have seething hatred for that stupid gimmick.

Weirder people have gotten elites. Justin gabriel, tatsu, fandango etc. Bo was over and his shirt was a top seller. That shirt alone sold the figure. Throw an nxt title on him and he's perfect

He was NXT champion for a good while and when he was brought up to the main roster and pushed pretty hard for awhile before interest in him fizzled. Hence the figure.
I still feel it's the best figure of him. I refuse to upgrade to his recent figure. He still has a spot in my collection, even if it's as a jobber. Someone's gotta make Ryback look strong.

I don't mind too much if NXT guys come up just to be used as lower-mid carders who don't win much. Their NXT work makes me like them a lot more than when WWE would pluck guys out of nowhere and shove them in my face only to flop and be relegated to jobber status. |

If anyone collects this line after production ends, every and any character is good to have imo. Makes it more fun to collect so many different characters and to have an almost complete line of figures one day.

One of a very small handful of guys i never got an elite of. The others being Ezekiel Jackson, Los Matadores, and Seth Rollins.....the last of which is not my fault, just rarely ever see his elites on the shelves. I do ,however, own all those as basics. Honestly, the Matadores basics are fine enough to keep me from blowing 40 bucks to have their elites. Jackson, I'd still like to get one day. Seth ,I WILL eventually find on a shelf. But in Bo's case, i have his regular basic and his t shirt basic,so i can skip his elite. I do plan on picking up his Social Outcast basic at some point though. Its a different gimmick so it merits purchase. If a singlet attire were to be done as an elite (I'm fairly doubtful it ever will be) i would pick it up however.
