Did Mattel just skip over a red bloodline Sami? I guess 106 could be used for bloodline but we literally got everyone else in red attire similar to the war games match but the 106 elite Sami has post bloodline shirt? If so huge miss there I don’t get why.

I hope the next Elite Sami Zayn is in his Mania 39 attire and we could get a bloodline Sami in top picks wave. |

^ Yeah Sami in that red attire would make a sensible addition to the Top Picks line.

He'll probably be in the Survivor Series set - usually they don't have enough time to get people from the event in the lineup the next year.
Example - the 2023 set had KO and Charlotte from 2021.
So the 2024 set should have at least 1 person from 2022.
If not, top picks/talent is another option.

It’s a monumental part of that story so it’s definitely a must. Maybe the Ultimate rumored with be that Sami if they don’t go the Wrestlemania 39 route.

Put Sami in Survivor Series 2022 attire in either Survivor Series wave or top picks wave and put Mania 39 attire Sami with the blue duct tape t shirt in the main elite line simple everyone’s happy.

I still think this is coming as an Ultimate, either as a chase to the UE Mania mainline version or as an RSC exclusive. That said, if it doesn't, I absolutely think it'll be either a Top Pick or PPV Elite. Could also be a RSC DM I guess.

If so huge miss there I don’t get why. They didn't just skip over WarGames Sami, they skipped over the entirety of the Honorary Uce, which is something that for the life of me I can't even begin to comprehend WHY. Like, I'm sitting at my laptop in my black honorary uce shirt and green army cap right now wondering what went wrong. Elite 106 was RIGHT THERE. The only thing I could possibly think of is that they were holding off on making an Honorary Uce anything until they crafted new pants molds for him which, judging from the new post-wrestlemania basics they put out, they're actually doing. But why they didn't do that for Elite 106 is beyond me. I know they're probably waiting for a PPV SvS wave to put him in which, ok, fine, but where is BLACK gear Sami? I'm so confused, so deeply confused, Mattel could have printed money with a really good Honorary Uce figure at one point. Could have anchored a wave with him. Now, I last went to walmart a few days ago and they had gotten in multiple cases of E106 and the only thing that didn't sell were the Sami figures. It's just so confusing. |

If i remember correctly, his next UE will be in Mania 39 attire (along with KO one) That's the running theory which I don't believe has been confirmed but *certain* people on yt seem really convinced it's gonna be Honorary Uce Sami and Prizefighter KO as UE 21. Frankly, I wouldn't put it past Mattel to do that, although if they do they sure as hell be planning an UE 2-Pack for those 'Mania figures, I will NOT be denied on these. |

That's actually an interesting theory, although knowing Mattel and considering how little Sami actually wrestled on TV during his bloodline days, I could also see them doing the RSC DM figure as him from the Honorary Uce ceremony itself. Maybe come with the original Bloodline shirt shredded off to the side as an accessory or something. Frankly, most of his stand out moments from the Bloodline days were him in street clothes. Honorary Uce segment, birth of Ucey, Royal Rumble, they all could use the same figure, but none of them are in ring attire. SvS:WG is the only really stand out moment from that whole run that wasn't in that particular set of street gear. |

I do think we’ll eventually get the regular Honorary Uce look eventually, though I actually think that’s a lower priority for Mattel than the red gear. |

I got so sick of waiting I made one in a fantasy attire for my Samoan Dynasty shelf. He has red hair and his tights say "Bloodline". Someday they will release a proper Honorary Uce figure and I'll have to decide if I want to display it or if I just want to use it for parts to merge with my custom.) |

They only have so many spots. We never got a Dashing Cody or basically any of Nexus/Corre before too much time had gone by |

I'm positive they’ll do it in the Survivor Series line which means it’ll be impossible to find it at retail just like Summerslam Jey Uso was. I don’t know where y’all are living at that have Summerslam Jey rotting on the shelves because my area never got that series and I got like 3 Targets and 3 Walmarts in a 20-minute radius.

Yeah, my Walmart got a massive shipper in for Summerslam. Just piles and piles of figures between three locations in the toy section, so many exclusives it made your head spin. Never saw a single Summerslam Jey ONCE. I was at that Walmart in time to get not one but TWO of the RA Bischoffs before anyone else found them and there wasn't a Summerslam Jey in sight. Thankfully, RSC is carrying the PPV lines now, so it won't (hopefully) be impossible to get, but if you are the sort to buy your figures at retail, good luck with that. |
