Mattel is apparently adding one NXT Superstar to each series release of figures. Sami Zayne is up first in Series 50, with Adrian Neville and Tyler Breeze to follow in Series 52 and 53, respectively. Here's the Zayne figure: And the Neville proto: And the Breeze proto: If this has been mentioned on here already, my bad. But considering the following NXT has and I'm sure I'm not the only collector on the forum, this was worth noting. EDIT: Found a better Zayne pic right after posting this.

There was a leaked line up not too long ago that had Charlotte in one of the assortments.

I'm glad Mattel has finally thrown out their stupid 'no figures if they're not frequently on main roster TV' rule.... which they didn't even follow since we got a glut of shelfwarming Rey figures over the past 3 years when he was perpetually injured and off TV.

I saw that, but on WF Forums, they're considering that mostly BS, since there were supposedly 8 figures in that series, when it's usually no more than 6. And I forgot to mention this in the first post, but Paige's upcoming Elite figure comes with both the Divas belt AND the NXT Women's title. And that's the first NXT tie-in to be released in the line.

It's proof that NXT isn't being treated as just the developmental league. These guys have gotten screen time on Raw, when people get called up, they promote them as NXT call-ups, and now they're getting the action figure treatment. This is big for Triple H, having his pet project get so much exposure.

Oh, and the other big thing for me: With Brie Bella's figure in series 49, and Nikki's in series 52, it's another shot for me to add the Bellas to collection! Third time's a charm, baby!

Do you have the Bellas already or not, I only have the first two pack of them. I usually go for one of each figure unless something stands out or I need them for the build a figure. Like I have the elite WCW Rey because my other Rey's knee broke off and I liked the attire

I've already got the Sami pre-ordered from Ringside. Same here, just disappointed we're getting them as Basics, but better something than nothing I suppose.

Yeah, I'd rather have them in Elite, I also ordered Summer in that series. The surprising thing about the future releases is that Steph's first Mattel figure is a Basics one, and not Elite.

A lot of the Divas have been very hard to find, at least where I am. I never found Michelle McCool, Alicia Fox, Tamina, Layla, or The Funkydacyls. I did find Eva Marie, but couldn't buy her that day. I hid the figure under the shelf, but when I came back a week later, they'd redone the entire aisle and none of the figures in that series were there.

Neville has to be the first guy to have better abs than his action figure.

Mickie, Beth, Natalya, Rosa, Eve, and Trish were Target. Kelly, Melina, Maryse, AJ, and Kaitlyn were Walmart. I wish I had a Toys R Us near me, cause that would probably make it easier. I think I'm gonna just order the ones I can through Ringside Collectibles, except for Paige, since I've had slightly better luck finding the Elite Divas in stores.

All these years later I still think Mattell figures are horrendous. I know I am the minority, but to me these are god awful.
It's great the nxt wrestlers are getting some action though.

If anybody gets the elite treatment, I bet its Balor.
