I can't seem to find any info after the prototype was initially displayed.
I'd love to have him to go with the Road Warriors, but the more time passes, the less likely it seems we'll get him.

Likely dead. Was supposed to be BAF (guessing NXT basic line after HHH, Roddy, Paige, Xavier, etc series). There are no lines doing BAF anymore. He’s been off TV since after Wrestlemania and doesn’t appear that he’ll ever be returning. Your best hope is that maybe he gets released in the main line as a store exclusive like Dunne and Wolfe.

Pretty sure it came right from MDT Bill's mouth that Ellering was to be in the Walmart FB Basics line. Now with all BAF lines kaput, he would have to be released whole.
Problem is he has been off WWE programming since AOP were brought up, so I can't see too much hope for it now. Another fig destined for Bill's personal stash.

Since the NXT Basic line is dead, just put the parts in the next Elite set with McIntyre, Black, Dain and Ruby? Hideo? Both?
That'll make it one of the best series ever released.

No idea what will become of it now.

I have also been asking about this too! I hope they still release it! I was looking forward to it so I can display it with AOP.

Yeah, I don't have high hopes for this one. He was already going to be fairly niche, with his saving grace being his association with AoP on NXT. Now that he's been gone for awhile, and with the line being "discontinued", I'm not sure they'd find a sensible place for him in a reasonable amount of time. Mattel has very few actually unreleased things compared to Jakks, so at least it has that distinction. I'd have seen it in its early form than not seen it at all.

I found out recently that my wife's boss is drinking buddies with Mean Gene at a bar owned by Ellering. This doesn't help this particular discussion but the idea of getting involved in all excites me!

I am surprised he was ever scheduled for a release tbh, I'd buy one, but can't it flying off the shelves

Maybe they can release him in a way like they did with Mean Gene. A singles elite release with Switchable arms, jacket, and head to get both LOD and AOP Paul Ellering.
