Seriously how has Mattel not made elite figures of the Bloodline? I’m not talking about a Roman basic with a gold glove, Jey Uso in white gear, or that Jimmy Uso with a Jey head figure. I mean Bloodline shirts, black pants, red shoes, point finger. Just like they have appeared on WWE TV for almost a year now. We can get pegs full of guys like Goldberg, Jeff Hardy and boneyard Undertaker , but not the top act in the WWE.
Oh and how about a new Paul Heyman to go with them.

My main confusion comes from the lack of a new Paul Heyman. The basic and BAF came out a while back and are ridiculously priced while nothing new has even been announced. Not sure what the hold up with him is as it's easy enough to do a basic repaint.

It takes basically a year to get new figures out
Roman first brought out the red glove at Extreme Rules 2021 (9/26/21 on PPV) and we have the ultimate coming already in August 2022

When Mattel wants to they can get current stars out faster. They already announced Cody Rhodes for SDCC and he just returned at Mania this year. The Usos in their Bloodline gear and Paul Heyman should be in the stores right now.
Same with Riddle and Orton in their RK-Bro gear, “Big Time” Becky Lynch, Sonya Deville in a suit, Mandy Rose with brown hair, Seth Rollins in a crazy suit.
These are all the stars that have been main eventing WWE shows for at least a year now, if not longer.

I mean you’re comparing a new debut with an existing mold, I’m pretty sure Mattel rather use the budget for debuts than repaints, especially on the popularity of the debut of Cody Rhodes. |

Always forget about the basic 63 one. Still a while back though, 71 basic series later I think it's time to revisit Heyman. |

it should take 9 months to get a new figure out to stores especially if its a repaint. but lineups are planned so far in advance....
i kind of wish there was just better distribution on Legends style figures so we could have separate releases and leave more space in the mainline elite waves for current talent.

Not that I'll buy it, but this would be the perfect opportunity to get a three pack out. Heyman should be released with Roman in a elite two pack.

I wouldn’t want an another elite Roman since we got the ultimate edition coming Well maybe an elite Roman with cloth pants and white bloodline shirt and both Belts. We do need a matching pair of elites Usos and Paul Heyman is overdue for a new elite.

Somewhere in the pipe line
Behind all these Hogan figs
Which keeps us from getting cool obscure legends
But we got the Goon
But they won’t stop making Cena and Hogans
So we can’t get cool obscure legends
But we got Zodiac
So maybe we’ll get elite blood line figures
Maybe we won’t
They’ll take up spaces where cool obscure legends can be

No need for Paul Heyman. He's just fatter now & their not going to make a new mold for him. What I'm curious is why no Paul e dangerously or ecw Heyman?

Quick search indicates that Jey came back July 9 of the 2021 and the grouping was officially dubbed the Bloodline at that point. We saw the Ultimate Bloodline Reigns Mania weekend, so I would imagine we mightl see some kind of Usos at SDCC. The fact that they haven't made a Heyman in so long makes me question what his current deal entails as far as merch goes (IIRC his previous Mattels came out before his short stint back in creative) as it is quite perplexing.

Even if it's just a new Basic/Battle Pack set, I can't believe they've not done Roman and Paul Heyman yet. Seems like an absolute no brainer!

I would personally like to see where Mattwl gets that year figure from because my cousin works for Hasbro and has done so 22 years and he said the kind of company wwe is a figure could be out in 6 months if they really wanted some guy out.
