They turned out Rousey in a few months in basic and elite form. Any chance The Fiend makes a holiday appearance in figure form?

Pretty sure in one of the post-SDCC interviews they did say Wyatt/The Fiend is a high priority, and said that was one of the circumstances where Mattel wished they were given some info in advance in order to get it out quicker, but that they were watching it unfold with the rest of us.
judging by that, I'd say that's unlikely. Probably some new molds have to be done to do the character the most justice.

I would be shocked if it wasn’t top priority. However, I think we will see Firefly Fun House Bray first, then the Fiend.

Found this tidbit from WrestlingInc.com
"Bryan Alvarez noted on Wrestling Observer Live today that he reached out to multiple sources on the matter and none of them had heard anything about the lantern being dropped.
Furthermore, the head lantern is going to be a part of Wyatt's upcoming Mattel action figure for The Fiend.
It was also said that WWE is producing more of the lanterns, apparently for other merchandise items."

It would be a awesome figure especially if they did a chase version with some different puppets in them

Outdated before it’s on shelves. That’s not a knock on Mattel either, nothing sticks anymore.

I think it's definitely high on their priority list. I wouldn't be surprised if they've already been sent pictures and information on his look, or whatever they would need to starting working on something before it truly came on TV.

I’m not into the current stuff anymore, but I can give credit where it’s due. Bray is doing his damndest to make his career work and he’s going to be very successful with this gimmick.
I probably won’t buy the figure, but I guarantee you that it’ll be a top seller & scalped beyond belief.

Alright so when we inevitably get a fiend figure what do you guys think we should get? And Elite version or an Ultimate Edition version of the fiend??

An obvious figure. I’m sure it’ll be an Elite atleast at first but I doubt that lantern will be with it as much as I want it

To me it absolutely needs to be an Ultimate Edition release. Mainly because of the jacket and sculpt that will have to go into the figure as far as new body parts.

Elite or Ultimate it will be a stunning figure I'm sure.
Hopefully they can get it to us earlier rather than later.

I'd prefer it to be an elite, and I'd imagine they shouldn't have a problem fitting in a line with the mask given what they did with the Harper and Rowan figures. Probably wouldn't get the lantern though.

If they can't do the lantern, they could at least include an alternate head that looks similar, with the mouth open but no light coming through.

That’s what I thought, but as others have mentioned, this has the possibility of being an UE, which could open up the chance of both. FFH Bray in package, but add the jacket, gloved hands, and Fiend alternate head. That’d be a wise move. |

Outdated before it’s on shelves. That’s not a knock on Mattel either, nothing sticks anymore. This. By the time it comes out, wwe probably will have trashed the gimmick and it will be irrelevant. Kind of how they brought broken matt in only to make him gone months before we get him as a figure. |

It’d make a really nice figure. What I’m more concerned of is how they’ll paint the mask. They’ll either cheap out or use the fx tech, which might not translate all the detail. Also, they need to stop giving Wyatt those small Daniel Bryan arms. The dude is a gorilla.

Make an Elite two pack that comes with normal sweater Bray, The Fiend, and some of the dolls.
