[Chicago]

Here is what Bill had to say recently about the upcoming Network Spotlight Elites in a SDCC walkthrough video:

Coming to Target this Fall - first four in the assortment are Jinder, Diesel, Rey, and Asuka
Jinder head scan is different from the SDL Main Event Ring sculpt - also comes with WWE title
"Big Daddy Cool" Diesel has improved face technology - different likeness/attire from first Elite figure
Rey Mysterio is based on No Mercy 2008 - an outfit Bill has always loved
--This look was made before as a Basic but Bill had to make cuts on the deco to meet cost target - no detail has been left off this time
Asuka was originally planned as a WrestleMania Axxess exclusive last year but wasn't developed for the show - it now has a home as a Network Spotlight Elite

Also want to shout out @dfreedom30 on Instagram for identifying the attires as such:

Diesel - SummerSlam 1994

Rey Mysterio - No Mercy 2008

Asuka - NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn III

Jinder Mahal - SummerSlam 2017

[Fighter Hayabusa]

It’s a pretty sad set when Jinder Mahal is probably the best figure of the bunch.

[LaParka]

Solid set, but nothing for me to go crazy looking for, if I find them I find them. Jinder is easily the best of the 4.

[CM Poor]

I have the first Asuka, but I'm much more into the idea of one that I don't specifically need to hide the face with mask on. I could be convinced to get Jinder for the right price, too. I was a big fan of Jinder Mahal - World Champion.

That Diesel is such a waste of a Flashback spot.

How so? I’ve seen plenty of people ask for another long hair elite Diesel on here since the first one still is tough to get your hands on for a decent price. This is exactly what people have been asking for.

[hbkowns]

So Asuka is based of her NXT run? Have they not made a figure of her based on her main roster run?

[aggressiveperfectpoor]

Target? Welp...

[4life]

I will get the Mahal and put the old head back on his other Elite. What is up with his right arm?

[FBtagteamsrule]

Will get Diesel if I find him. Maybe Jinder.

[Chip]

its a nice set but a little "light" on the accessories huh?

[Medieval]

Just Mysterio for me. Maybe Diesel. I only wanted Asuka for the robe so that's an easy pass.

[GreyHaze:Big Bad Booty Daddy]

Pass on this series. I’m not going to lie, but diesel’s headscan looks way better than the original. I still think the jawline looks weird and squished. Wish Rey was in a different attire.

[theplasticprophet]

I want the Mysterio and Diesel

[Anthony Alexander]

So no robe for Asuka?

[keegandimitrijevic01]

Great set. Where are these going to be in Canada? Toys R Us?

Nope.

I have a feeling most Target's will be a little "Light" on this series...as in...most won't even get them...

[Bpatrick]

Love that Jinder, which I would assume he will probably be the easiest to get. Kinda want Diesel as that era Diesel is my Diesel and I wasn't collecting when he was in E17 or whatever, which is a figure I really want. I have the Hall of Fame one which is cool but not the same.

I had bought the Takeover Asuka months back and still never opened her. I kinda want to sell that one off for this one seeing as I don't typically get more than one of two many people unless it is a different era or look.

Mysterio is the only one of little interest to me, though it is an alright figure.

[screech]

Don't think it's Summerslam 94 Diesel since he had 'DIESEL' going down the leg. Would have looked nice though.
