Numerous dirtsheets are reporting Hideo Itami’s finishing up with WWE following the recent episode of 205 Live. Not looking good for his NXT Takeover elite

Why? Figure was in production while under contract. Unless WWE tells Mattel to pull it then it’ll still be released. Mattel may wanna pull it though. It’s guaranteed to be a shelf warmer.

Right, it could be pulled and now that he’s not with the company and wasn’t all that recognizable by casual fans, good chance it rots the shelves

Because an upstart company shouldn't try to land a talented athlete to bolster its roster? Because a guy shouldn't have options to go anywhere that will use him to the best of his abilities? DURRRR indeed...

Has there been any case where a fig was released after the wrestler left the company? I'm thinking of Neville maybe but wasn't he still riding out his contract at the time? I need an elite Itami.

I may be wrong on this, but I think the James Ellsworth/Carmella Battlepack came out after Ellsworth was released the first time.

We've already seen MOC photos of him, I think it's a safe bet he will be released even if he does finish up.

Yeah, a bunch of times. I feel like a bunch of talent from the early series (Mickie, Shelton, Hurricane, Knox, Gallows?) May have been gone before their figures came out? They definitely released several Punks after he left - although he then had a legal battle with WWE about the video game using his likeness, so they may be more cautious now.

i hope they take him off the series to put someone like : Richochet, MAtt Riddle or Kairi Sane Hush. I need an officially released KENTA figure. If this makes him harder to get I'll be super mad.

They've made 2. Maybe you collect only elites, but that's you limiting yourself, not Mattel. Buy the basic and spare us all the next Tito.

Buy the basic and spare us all the next Tito. What's it to you, just because you don't want him? They've already made the fig, he's boxed, and ready to ship. At this point they'll need to move the inventory regardless, and they're not going to rush another character for the sake of it. Love Hideo, would be more than happy to buy a few for customizing.

I hope the figure comes out still. I would say 50/50 at this point. I really like his last basic but man I want that elite!
