Speaking of Elite 77, i guess is this the series i keep hearing people talk about the AJ's shelf warming? Cause yeah, i saw about 7 of him at Target yesterday. 7 AJ, 2 VIS, 2 LIZ, One Bray and zero Rude. I went to find Rude I got him from Amazon though. the target store I work at we have 2 Liz and the legends is so out and I have people ask me when elite 78 is coming in and we not getting any in until the holiday time which sucks considering we can’t order more product until we sell out of it

Bray in 84 and 85? One has to be muscleman with Huskus. The other one.. throwback look Bray from the swamp match? They are starting to get to numbered series that were significant years to wrestlemania 1 and beyond. I know they won't but it would be cool if the legends/collectors figure in each series moving forward matched that series number/year. 85 could be wrestlemania 1 hogan or mr. T etc. The the AFA chat a while ago he pretty much said as much as he could we were getting a muscleman Bray. Someone asked about Huskus and he said we do have plans to get the other puppets out. I’m truly thinking is a Firefly fun Bray & ER Swamp match bray, however I hope is the Muscle man bray with husky the pig...

There have been several reliable sources who have leaked elite 81-85 and they are Elite 81 •Rock •Nakamura •Dawkins •Ford •Belair •Austin •Young Elite 82 •Lee •Balor •Morrison •Bliss •Gronk •Lawler •Davey Boy Elite 83 •Edge 2020 •McIntyre •Velveteen •Dusty •Corbin •Banks •Hayes Elite 84 •Jeff Hardy •Bray •Garza •Sheamus •Kushsida •Rhea Ripley •Zelina Elite 85 •Kross •Roman •Aleister •Bray #2 •Escobar •Liv I just realized there's no Nikki Cross updated elite in here. That's just rubbish. Why would you release Bliss but no Cross? This is so frustrating, I'm gonna have to pay out the wazoo for a pair of those tag belts to give my Bayley and Sasha Elites. Maybe the Kross is supposed to be Cross. I remember seeing her name during the last reveals and they said she would have the other belt. It also seems like it's way to fast for a Kross elite, takes up to a year.

I was skeptical about that to but the website DeepDiscount confirms it is Karrion. www.deepdiscount.com/mattel-collectible-wwe-elite-figure-karrion-kross/887961922622

These reveals likely take us up to late spring / early summer 2021 as far as retail releases go. Wild to think that the main line STILL won’t see a Hogan at that point. You would have though that Mattel was going to go heavy Hogan the second they got the rights back.

I dunno. I know that the website is confirming it but it seems seriously odd. By all logic and reason, it should be Nikki Cross there, not Karrion Kross. Could they be mistaken? Like, is there a chance that someone had a phone conversation and named the figure as being of "Cross" and the guy on the other end assumed Karrion? I suppose we'll only know 100% when we get the official announcement.

Giving Gronkowski an elite figure is a total waste. And we never got a single Elite figure for Hideo Itami. Disappointing.

You would have though that Mattel was going to go heavy Hogan the second they got the rights back. He’s allegedly in one of the upcoming Legends sets, and I bet has an exclusive somewhere as well. With Hollywood coming out in Ultimate, the next 2 glaring omissions is early 90s Hulk Rules/Python Power and 02 Return.

I believe it was said that Bliss was actually supposed to be Bayley with the Women’s tag belt prior to Bayley’s heel turn, so they plugged in Alexa to get the Women’s tag belt out.

I remember hearing that. I'm still convinced they will release Nikki with the other title. The timing of the Karrion Kross figure doesn't add up. His release even if fast tracked wouldn't be out until next summer.

Probably wouldn't have any new sculpting other than headscan and tattoo deco, and by the time 85 comes around will probably be Jan/Feb so is probably accurate

Never got that Hideo Itami, never got a Tony Nese, Drew Gulak, hell... we never got any figure form of Lio Rush. The fact that they pushed Gronk to have an elite figure out way before any of the ones I've mentioned after Hideo Itami is just an absolute slap in the face to not only the collectors, but to the wrestlers as well. This was a huge disappointment, especially Lio Rush since we never even got a basic form of him while the others did. The guy has been with the company since 2017 and was just let go this past March. I don't care if Gronk appeals to the wider audience or if he was signed before he went back to be with Tom Brady, he's not worth a figure at all.

Only thing is he is confirmed in the legends line and I could see him getting a number of looks in that line. My biggest wants: 1990 Wrestlemania 18 (2002) NWO return 3 pack with hall & Nash (No Way Out 2002) 2003 “Hulk Still Rules”

Also I’m willing to bet that along with the legends line release that they will do some babyface hogan attire as another upcoming UE release

This is true but they have at that point made various Brock figures before so they already have all the parts except for maybe a new facial expression.

There was never a Brock Lesnar figure before by Mattel, go watch the panel again.

I'm going to post this again and not mention stupid pills so that maybe it won't get deleted.
Let's look at the recent first time NXT elite releases and when they were signed.
Elite 82 Keith Lee - Signed by May 1st 2018 - TV - August 8th 2018 (had a match prior to signing)
Elite 81 Bianca Belair - Signed 2016 - TV - May 2017 The Street Profits - Signed 2016 - First Match was 2016 but 2017 is when they changed the name to Ford
Elite 80 The Viking Raiders - Signed Jan. 2018 - TV debut April 2018
Elite 79 Io Shirai - Signed June 2018 - TV - November 2018
Elite 79 Matt Riddle - Signed July 2018 - TV - August 2018
Do you see a pattern here? What do all those people have in common? About two year window. Kross was reported as being under contract in February 2020. Everything hit the fan in March. So either Mattel got him scanned before he ever had a match on TV or they saw it best for business to get the guy scanned during a pandemic. Are you following? Kross is not Gronk he is not Brock. He might be in your mind...wait I said I wouldn't mention those pills.
