Marko not getting a figure is weird. Not super much on the toy side of things. Marko would require 100% new tooling that wouldn't be usable on anyone else ever, and he's not popular enough to be able to make back that cost with multiple variants and re-releases. For another wrestling example, Sheamus had a long wait for an action figure because they needed to mix a new plastic color for him. Outside of wrestling, characters who require lots of new tooling often need to be subsidized in some way - Hasbro made the Phil Urich Hobgoblin as a build-a-figure instead of a normal toy even though he's average size to make up for the cost of him being a completely new sculpt with no potential for reuse. I figure if they put out a figure of one of the smaller female wrestlers like Riho, Diamante or Leyla in street clothes at some point, they will probably use parts of that with new head, hands and upper torso to create a Marko. It may be a bit clunky, but he's not getting a unique tooling otherwise.

"Champion Cody" on the packaging makes it look like one of those dollar store wrestling figures.

I really wish it did only cost a dollar, I shouldn't be spending what I am for these damn figures 😂

I do feel like Marko can justify a sculpt since he's had a couple of looks, but yeah, I feel like his best bet is if they use that to do something like pack with variants of the other JE dudes or even Guevara.

I guess the answer to “When’s Britt getting a figure?” is…well, soon.
