Hey guys was just wondering do you think the new zelina figure they just showed will be scrapped due to her release?

You know, reading the reasons they released her, I think it could go either way.
Do I think there's a possibility that they will scrap the figure because she's no longer with the company? Of course, and good chance of them doing so.
But do I think that Vince and CO would be beneath making the figure anyway just to spite her, make an example of her, and throw further ownership of her and the "Zelina Vega" IP in the woman's face? No I don't, I can very much see them being that damn petty and releasing the figure anyway.
At this point, I really hope they just cancel the figure and let it go but with the entire point of her release being that she stood up against the company for ownership of her own face and brand, I'm doubtful that they will be that kind about it.

I think they will probably just scrap her, BUT... they did also release those basic Mike Bennet/Eric Rowan and the head scans for Cardona and Myers for the 3-1 Edgehead elites. Although, their reason for getting fired is different from how Zelina got fired so maybe that’s why the former got their figures released. I’m still upset that we never got that KENTA figure. It was already in production and we all saw MOC and finalized versions of it. They’re all probably sitting in a really dark factory somewhere just collecting dust or they’re getting pulled up by 3 aliens with a claw in a dump place or something.

I don't think we will get her now. I hope we do though. At least we got the basic.

It would be a pleasant surprise if Vega's Elite goes forward, but maybe Target will force Mattel's hand into not robbing them of an exclusive.

Hard to say but I’d assume her figure will still come out. I imagine Elite 84 will be up for preorder soon, and unless it were something criminal or something I’d think it would be too late to make that change. That being said either way I won’t be surprised.
Selfishly I just really hope Alister Black sticks around long enough for his Elite 85 release. I really love that attire and entrance gear.

Considering she is still in the render phase I'd guess it will be canceled. Was looking forward to it.

I fully doubt it gets made, they got enough time between now and then to either replace or just remove. We saw Mattel is capable of just removing someone from the line (Velveteen) if they feel it necessary.

My guess is that if WWE makes the call to not want the figure out, then I think there would be enough time to remove it.

I'm content with her basic.

If they did it with Itami, I would expect them to do the same with Vega.

It’s probably gonna get cancelled, considering she was fired over unionization and not giving up her Twitch, yeah, it doesn’t look hopeful pals

The thing is she’s not in the main set. She was the store exclusive. So they don’t have to rush to change all the boxes or anything because they only put the pictures of everyone on the back of the main line figures. It’s basically a one-off figure so it would be really easy to just yoink them all out and make more of a main eventer in main line E84 to fill the case spots if it got that far

Probably no one and they just make more of someone in the main set for the cases

Give us the other Vega named Savio. Given he's going to be appearing at the Taker retirement shindig, there might be a chance eventually. I'd buy an elite Savio Vega.

Oddly enough they scrapped Itami and yet Rowan & Kannelis was released. It could be the fact that WWE released them on good terms though. ?
