Nope, it was canceled by Mattel because of controversy surrounding the flag design (from what I understand). I think online retailers have or should have refunded the money for it to anyone who preordered it.

No official information on either direction
Common opinion is we aren’t because like you said it’s off ringside and we never got Moc pictures
but also Ringside hasn’t contacted me or anyone else who ordered it about it yet

Some online store that sells WWE figures said Mattel said it was cancelled, but RSC (who is a bigger online store than them) has been silent besides now removing it from their website, so who knows. Maybe they’ll fulfill the orders that they’ve already gotten and not sell it anymore and not send it to stores. Probably not, but we can hope lol.

I’m still skeptical about this whole situation. We only were told it was cancelled by a Instagram page siting no source just saying he received word from someone at Mattel/Martel. Why would they reach out to just him to break the news? Makes no sense. Then shortly after another figure shop posts something about it, then silence from everywhere else. Ringside left RVD up for a while, the description of the series still says be on the lookout for the chase RVD. My theory, and just my theory, is that a bunch of people went and placed orders for the back ordered chase RVD (he was already on backorder for late February i believe) and that run sold through, hence why the listing came down. I feel like the hysteria from those two posts made people Flock to place and order for it for a “just incase it does come out in limited runs” type of deal.
I truly hope that if it is being pulled then they let ringside fulfill the preorders or something of that nature. Just seems so strange to me that this is supposedly cancelled but yet none of the orders from ringside are refunded, no one has made a statement about it being pulled, no one else has any information about it being pulled, and our “sources” are someone saying that Mattel told them so…

I thought Tom already covered that it was officially canceled and RVD on his Instagram as well? But yeah, it got canceled due to backlash about it being offensive. I see both sides of it. I do however, think we live in a society where anything can offend people. Kind of scary to see where we’re heading.

No, that's the Japanese national flag, with which nobody is taking umbrage. The issue at hand is the Rising Sun Flag, which is problematic in certain parts of Asia that suffered greatly at the hands of the Imperial Japanese Army. It's a legitimate response to the design being appropriated for entertainment purposes, and WF has already gone around the block on this like, seven times in the past week. This is a good read that explores a bit of where the problem arises from.

Maybe they are just quietly releasing it, no promo, no more pre orders, maybe none in cases at retail. I feel like they would’ve started to send out the emails a few days ago if we weren’t getting them. Shouldn’t be long since we have MOC pics already so hopefully we know soon

No people are rebelling due to mass not having a mind in first place so what we'll end up with is a Stepford Wives like world.

If you’re not with the narrative you’re deemed as crazy or a problem for having your own opinion. It’s scary to see websites like FB, Instagram (who is also now owned by FB), YouTube just completely filter out what they want you to see and what they don’t. We’re heading towards a totalitarian society.

Those companies aren't filtering out viewpoints because they're different, they filter them out because their racist, bigoted, harmful, or are spreading misinformation. They aren't cancelling people for having a different opinion.

Is money and control not an objective? Not only that, but the media has been VERY inconsistent with a lot of things and the same politicians that people love are the same ones who lie to them directly to their faces. Just saying.

Just find it funny that Mattel or any big wig has said anything about it being cancelled, but everybody wants to believe some random on YouTube lol, it may end up being cancelled, but if you haven’t been refunded or emailed about it being cancelled, then it’s obviously not cancelled.

Only an idiot thinks that any company has your best interests other than money. I'm fine with them filtering out and cancelling people who spread harmful views. Go look at the people that are getting banned, it's not because they prefer red over blue. Politicians aren't the ones banning people, it's companies that have the right to do so. Just like Jack Specific here. I'm done here. This isn't the place for this discussion and I don't want to get banned.

First they came for Imperial Flag RVD, and I said nothing because the headsculpt was trash. But then they came for Klansman robe Jim Neidhart, and I whined and threw a big fit about cancel culture getting in the way of my toys.
