Drew McIntyre-------------------- Returned - April 1 2017Return Figure - February 2019
Aleister Black
-------------------- Debuted - April 1 2017Debut Figure - February 2019
Nuff said. these figures admittingly took forever to come out, in their defense though apparently the figure were ready to go in July of last year. Yea that was target not Mattel. They were ready. Target chose to hold off to get rid of the series 3 stock.

Target chose to hold off to get rid of the series 3 stock. the fact that Itami was moved from the wave might have contributed to that as well, what stinks though is the wait for this wave might result in the people who wanted his elite to possibly not a chance at it.

Hideo Itami signed with WWE in 2014 and here we are still waiting on that elite figure. Mattel must be really slow, or racist. I have been waiting since 1985 to get a wendy richter, first from ljns, the figure got cancelled, then with jakks classic line, they lost the license, and now mattel showed me the figure, since i dont know when, and im still waiting for it. So 35 years in the making...

Dude.
I swear people just like to find things to complain about for the sake of it. Why are we nitpicking about the NXT figures now. Y’all realize it’s not Mattel’s fault for those distribution issues. Target isn’t going to order new figures if the previous ones are still sitting on the shelves. There’s only so much shelf space. So in actuality it’s your guys’ fault for not buying the figures so they can clear the shelf for new stuff. It’s business people. You order new stuff when the old stuff is either sold or on clearance. If you don’t understand then idk what to tell you this hobby isn’t for you.

Let's not get off-topic here. The bigger question for me is that why in 2019 does it still take 8-12 months to produce a figure of a wrestler from their debut (on average?). You've had the license for going on 10 years, you've been in the toy business for 100 years, it's 2019 - do toy designers need some LEAN 6 Sigma training or something? I assume 90% of it is that mock ups are sitting on people’s desks for approval for weeks at a time

Haven't seen his items in search listings. Maybe he can return to explain things, but I remember his account getting axed on eBay after selling thousands of dollars worth of fast-moving electronics like iPhones and then not delivering anything. Based on the piles of negative feedback I saw, we're talking pretty easily a five-figure amount. To be fair, the type of merch and quantity is usually a sign that the account got compromised by a third-party scammer. But considering he pretty clearly sprinkled in a good amount of fraud among buying and selling a lot of figures over the years, I'm not so sure. It's also curious that he never resurfaced with another account since that was a couple of years ago. Seems like someone wouldn't go so quietly into the night and give up their livelihood like that.

The figure that seems to be moving the slowest is a Jinder Mahal figure. He was WWE Champion a while ago now, and he still hasn't hit the stores. (The Smackdown ring never hit retail stores around here, so that one doesn't count). At least a basic seems long overdue, and the Singh Brothers beat him to the pegs.

That tidbit came from thekevinowensshow, who spoke with Bill at Las Vegas Toy Con. Give a run down of everything lol, or anything interesting. Nothing really secretive. He holds his ground when it comes to upcoming stuff. He did say the flood of mysterios are coming, and he’s gonna do as many face painted Jeff’s as he can. Ultimates are the new direction they’re headed in. Hart & nak are next after warrior and Rhonda. They’ll both come with the poseable jackets (probably arms like Rhonda) They are allowed to do Rollins in game of thrones gear, but not the thanos gear because parts directly copied the movie. One of his most exciting ones to work on is Kairi Sane, due to the pirate gear Ricochet, Ciampa, and Gargano are closer than you’d think He really wants to do gangrel but can’t unless wwe signs him to an actual deal Hogan is a very sensitive situation... no updates Flashback wave at Walmart was a short run & sold through.. so it’s in Walmart’s hands to distribute them, unless they sold through as well... Restrofest... sheik is after flair. Hacksaw is just hitting retail, flair wont be far behind Next reveal is mania axxess There’s tons more I talked to him about, but there’s some Ohhh and Hideo is not gonna be released at all now

I think it has a lot to do with the fact that the roster is ridiculously bloated, and the product is much less popular than it used to be. Getting a full roster out was much easier when there were only about 50 guys and 15 girls in the company. That number has tripled, at least.
