How do I not own an elite of a guy who was wwe champion 1 year ago? Because you haven’t purchased the SDL elite ring? Just a guess.

While that may be true, it seems a bit ridiculous that his managers will make it out to mass retail before he does. The Smackdown ring was more rare in my area at Gamestop than Harley Race at Walmart.

Can’t believe no one is complaining over no wrist tape on this figure. It drives me bananas

that headscan is literally 300,000,000x better than that pathetic excuse of an "elite" that came with a $100 ring
its the first time in a long time im looking forward to getting a basic figure.

Those claiming that Jinder is a jobber and is boring, yall crazy. If Jinder was allowed to do what he wants to do, hands down he'd be a legend right now. Muhammad Hassan....LEGEND!!! Jinder is not allowed to be that kind of a heel. The only thing he was allowed to do was say "And now I will speak to my people, in my language."WWE is to PG to have the Jinder Mahal we really want and need. And this was the first ever time I understood a wrestler speaking another language other than English. As an Indian it was great to hear Jinder speak Punjabi because even I struggled to understand what Great Khali would say and even seeing dholi (Indian drum) players during his celebration. As for the Jinder you really want and need, I’m not sure what you mean by that. Muhammad Hassan was a great character imo and raised perfectly fine points about how Arabs were treated differently in 2005 (maybe even now too) but Indians don’t really face that problem except for post 9/11 when every brown person (even myself) was considered or called a terrorist. As for OP I’m glad he’s finally got a new scan, it should’ve been on the SmackDown ME ring figure. If I still collected I would’ve definitely brought Jinder and the Singh brothers, I know BOOKER_T will lol

I’m just glad I’m not a big fan of Jinder, because I don’t want to have to buy the smackdown ring for his elite, and then buy this new basic for a headswap. No thanks.

People in charge of the wwe mattel line are just so utterly clueless, its not 1985 anymore.
Hey you want a new goldberg or jinder mahal figure ? You do, ok well you gonna have to spend $100 and get a ring you don't want.
Not just no, hell no I am not spending that much. Mattel made sure they stretched out waiting to release a new jinder figure as long as possible though of course.

The skin tones don't look the same from the pictures I've seen in this thread. I hope I'm wrong, because I like this new Mahal scan much more than the previous Elite.

I feel Mattel really dropped the ball on getting Jinder figures out. His push is over. And he's back to where he was

Do people really love/hate Jinder because of his “heel work” or his random, PR driven push, complete with back acne? He gets the same reaction from me as UFC fans give Brock. “Who’s this roid monster getting title matches out of nowhere?”

Mattel made sure they stretched out waiting to release a new jinder figure as long as possible though of course. I had to wait a year for the ring to drop to a price I was okay with. I basically paid $60 for Jinder lol I didnt really need the ring. But will still be cool for a display
