I ordered a Yokozuna from Target on Sunday and it arrived today. I was pleasantly surprised to receive the chase version. The box was beat up but I plan on opening it.

Steve did a podcast recently and said the all black Elite Punk would be in an upcoming Top Picks wave. He said it may hit Ringside before the end of this year. yeah you are right he did a podcast with Nick Storm and Steve confirmed plain attire Punk will be in top picks wave not sure if it’s the one with Logan Paul tho. He also did mention that the Hitman Punk can still come out in either elite or ultimate form. That is not off the table it seems. That’s pretty much my biggest want next to MITB 2011 and Halloween Punk.

They really are pretty far behind when it comes to females on the current roster. I'm not going to be too harsh on them for it cause maybe it is possible that they just don't sell all that well. But we don't have: Alba Fyre Isla Dawn Ivy Nile Kiana James Lyra Valkyria Maxxine Dupri (Heard rumors about her being made) Zoey Stark Blair Davenport Elektra Lopez Valhalla Jade Cargill (Just listing her for completion sake, obviously they'll get hers out ASAP) So that is 33 out of 44 main roster women with a figure (75%). Compare that to the main roster men where they have 78 men on the main roster and 73 have gotten a figure (94%). However, when you look at the list of the 5 men that haven't been made (The Creed Brothers, Dragon Lee, Odyssey Jones, Tama Tonga), really only 3 would be possible to have one at this point. So there is a clear discrepancy in terms of who Mattel is prioritizing between the genders. But, again, they know what sells and what doesn't so it could simply just be that. The whole “they don’t sell” excuse is old at this point. Every Walmart there are peg warmers of women like Doudrop or Charlotte/Alexa two pack but just as many peg warmers if not more of guys like Ashante or even Sami Zayn Elite. Also Rhea is arguably the most over member of judgement day and yet we have had 1 elite figure (terrible mold btw) and a newer one coming out soon which is already outdated. There’s no reason we couldn’t have gotten her in a basic series with an updated mold. Also doesn’t help the argument when every female figure pretty much sells out in a few hours for preorder from Ringside. Maxxine went up today and already sold out. And then when we complain a lot act like it’s the “weird women figure fans” when people like myself collect everyone on the roster men and women and want complete lines. I don't disagree. I think the women figures are the hardest to come by and don't seem to peg warm from my experience. They are usually only one per case, but still. I'm just trying to come up with a logical explanation for the situation and I would assume that Mattel has access to a whole bunch of information that we don't. They aren't stupid. If they thought something would sell like crazy, they'd pump them out.

I also realized with your list that you can factor in that Michin and Tegan haven't gotten updates either since getting released and coming back. Also we never ended up getting Emma when she returned.

Is D'Angelo & Stacks, Cora & Roxanne the only current NXT wrestlers after the draft that have figures made or in the pipeline at the moment?

I’d like an updated elite Natalya. She’s been wearing some cool gear.

I am watching some 2001 RAW recently and man there are so many people here that need figures. Lance Storm, Tajiri, Mike Awesome, Debra and so on. And I say that here because for some reason there is no general Mattel discussion thread.

Is the Top Picks Rock that was announced today possibly a ring gear Rock with the updated tattoo, or is it an old style one that was already revealed? I remember the Final Boss Rock render they showed but I think that’s a future mainline wave.

The womens figures thing is a massive sore spot for me. Do some of them warm? Yes. But so do certain men. How long ago was it really that every walmart across America was swamped with Seths, Finns, and AJs? Meanwhile, Maxxine Dupri sold out on Ringside in under an hour, and I'm gonna go ahead and guess that Ringside was asking 2x retail for her just like every other women's basic of the last half dozen waves.
Be it that they're making less, people want them more, or a combination of factors, saying "women's figures don't sell" just doesn't fly for me as an excuse anymore.
I was just at Walmart yesterday. They had three pegs worth of Main Events. 144, 145, 146. Not a single Shayna, Tiffany, or B-Fab in sight.
In fact, out of the entire section, the only woman there was one lone Roxanne Perez figure. But there were a truly comedic number of Romans still on the shelf. And they had two MNW Hogans. A fair number of Warrior UEs. I grabbed the lone MNW Bret UE. Point is that you can't just say "women don't sell" anymore like a catch-all. Lots of figures don't sell. If you went by what does and doesn't pegwarm, then AEW should never make another Jericho figure ever again. But times have changed and we need to start making women again. The smurfette syndrome of having one woman per wave is wearing on me. Give me my ladies please. They are my primary collecting point, even more than Sami and Kevin, and I'm growing very weary of having to pay absurdist prices on secondary for *basics*.
