Mattel should try to find a way to get the figure releases sooner. In 2018, it still takes 8 months minimum to release a new figure, sometimes it takes more than this...
Most of the time the figs are no more accurates. Im sure we will get a bald baron corbin at the earliest maybe after wmania.
Maybe by scanning the wrestler as soon that he get signed, keep the scan in a file, and try to work on it faster.
Ronda was a easy fig to work on it, months in advance, they needed only her face scan, because the body is generic. Having the fig getting a release at the start of the summer, it could have been big for them, but only in november, when the look will be not accurate anymore...

I’m almost positive new stars like Ronda get scanned as soon as they are signed. You have to understand, molds aren’t built overnight. That takes a while. Then you have to schedule a time overseas to have it mass produced. They’re already backed up for months making the next few series. I’m sure they could always put the next few elite or basic sets on hold, just to get Ronda out sooner, but we complain enough when Walmart and Target fall behind. There are only a set number of manufacturing plants over there to use, and I don’t believe Mattel owns them, they only rent blocks of time to have things made.

Maybe it’s me, but I don’t care for the scan. Then again, I wasn’t goin to buy it as I no longer buy basics.

Think someone mentioned that this would be a good base for a SMH Stephanie figure. Thinking about attempting the fix up whenever it comes out depending on how cheap I can get the milkamania Stephanie head.

I’m glad they used the blank torso base! Mattel should do this for ALL women figures. The painted over bra strap crap is old.
My brother really wants this, I can’t wait for the Rhonda doll!

Shipping from China takes 4-6 weeks by ocean container, typically. They also have to complete the paperwork, create the mold, test, and then fit the figure into the production schedule. It may sound easy, but Mattel is a huge company that has numerous other licences as well.

Dude that is awesome. I feel like they're really beginning to perfect the face printing tech. I'm sure we'll get an elite of her summerslam attire too

Hmmm...surprised to see people praising the scan - personally, I don't think it looks much like her at all(?). Not to mention the brown hair...

I think the figure looks good. It would be smart of Mattel to pack this figure heavily in the assortment. At least two per case, maybe more. This figure is going to be very popular and very hard to find.

I’ll wait for an elite with kilt and jacket hopefully.

It's probably the same scan but way better in this light and not looking like she's in her sixties this time lol. Can't wait for a ring gear version.

I think it looks amazing! I swore off Basics, but I pre-ordered this anyhow as a placeholder.

If a Rousey Elite hasnt been announced by the time this comes out, I'll grab one. I think it looks pretty good.
