Bummer! I do hope Mattel can find a spot for the Monsoon figure. It was the only figure I wanted from this set. I was planning to buy two and customize one into later career wrestling gear. Fingers crossed!

I guess Gorilla will end up being a 1 per case Wal-Mart exclusive next year instead. Hopefully he doesn't end up in limbo like Wendi or Naomi.

Good thing we have trusty Jakks heads to make customs of figures Mattel cant seem to get in stores. But hey, let's make another Seth Rollins to peg warm.

It’s true...the Survivor Series 2 packs had to be cancelled but Gorilla WILL get released. Stand by for more info.

When will WFigs realize that both Walmart and Target do this from time to time to clear out all their old stock. It’s panic, doom and gloom every single time.

why don't you just put him in a single basic wave.. I mean this isn't rocket science . Take out a stupid Roman, Braun, AJ and put a Monson in its place. Heenan is not needed those are easily obtainable now on the sec. market. Im so sick of these lines being canceled. And then we never see these figures again. Lets hope you can change the narrative soon.

That sucks. Heenan/Monsoon is one of the few battle packs I've been looking forward to lately.

Mattel..."Will you be serious?!"
I'm really hoping that Gorilla Monsoon gets placed somewhere else eventually.

I hope none of us are stupid enough to think anything Mattel has shown or will show at upcoming Cons will be released. This is just getting ridiculous! If they know that things are getting cut left and right THEN STOP SHOWING PROTOS AT SHOWS! It’s a slap in the face to us and it’s embarrassing to them. I say they just present what is coming out and that’s it.
Tbh I’m about done collecting. Naomi, Wendi, Nattie, Gorilla, Superstar Dolls...all cut but yet we still have the Zombies and Slammers 😂 I really hope the WWE division of Mattel has a analysis group going over wtf is happening at retail. There should be no reason Target isn’t carrying their own d*mn exclusives, There’s no reason Walmart should have three figures on the pegs for a month, Walgreens shouldn’t even be carrying exclusives...they need our thoughts and prayers lol.
Btw...Elite Squad sucks.

I'm not surprised...
The figures from the promotional pallets - WrestleMania, SummerSlam and Survivor Series sets always end up on clearance. One of my Wal-Mart's just put up another case of last year's SummerSlam Elites.

2 jobbers who decided to latch onto figure collectors to get over Haha someone is jealous What do I have to be jealous about? They’re both annoying and it’s sad how collectors flock to them as their messiah

Btw...Elite Squad sucks. This is about where I'm at with it. Wendi Richter, Paul Ellering, and Gorilla Monsoon were the last three Mattel WWE figures I've been really excited for, and I'm learning not to get my hopes up until it actually makes it to shelves. I haven't seen the NXT Elites in Target since the Rusev wave. At this point, I've given up hunting in stores, because all I ever see are Finn Balor and Braun Strowman Elites and a scant few basics.

Would you all rather we see no protos ever at this shows? S**t happens. The only one I would be concerned with is Wendi Richter and even Bill said he hopes to find a place for her, and that they went with Sherri first to test the waters. Like we really aren’t gonna get a Naomi figure at some point? Walgreens wanted exclusives Mattel gave them exclusives and they can’t support them. If another retailer came to Mattel tomorrow and wanted an exclusive they would give them to them.
