This would be the most obvious choice for an Ultimate figure, able to switch between FFH Bray and The Fiend.

I bet we “Mr Rogers” Bray first. Character debuted first and would be easier to do. I don’t think it’s possible to do Fiend by the end of the year. I’m guessing elites of “Rogers” early 2020 and Fiend probably in the Summerslam wave.

In reality, all they need to do is mold a new head for fiend bray. He wears basically the same crap, just different designs

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."

Make an Elite two pack that comes with normal sweater Bray, The Fiend, and some of the dolls. I was thinking this would be the best course of action. FFH Bray would be an easy fig to make with minimal retooling and Fiend could be the star of the show. Throw in some of the other characters like Mercy or Abby as accessories and you got a hit.

Was browsing IG and saw this: And I was like “Nah, Mattel doesn’t work that fast!”

You guys are crazy if you think an Elite figure in the main line would do the gimmick justice. You have to remember about budget constraints within each Elite series.

It took them like 15 months to get a ring gear Ronda Rousey on shelves. Bray won't be coming until next summer at the earliest.

I was wondering if they may do a box set, like the Hardy's or Undisputed Era. Didn't they say that's how they were able to get the Hardy's into the line the quickest, although a year later. They could do Firefly Funhouse Bray, the Fiend and the puppets. The Fiend name is surprisingly growing on me, love the gimmick hated the name. I thought they should have just made up an intimating sounded name I stead of the Fiend. But it's grown on me.

I imagine The Fiend would eat up a bunch of the budget for whatever Elite wave he'd be slotted into, so I think it's best the new tooling be done within the Ultimate Edition budget, and then they can modify that tooling for an Elite figure, as a cost effective method.

I imagine wwe doesn't force Mattel to change plans but they could get the Fiend out by Christmas if they really wanted to.

Pretty sure it was mentioned somewhere that 9 months is the quickest turn around time they could do. Wwe could ask them to include someone in a series, but that won’t change how quick every other step in the process is done.

I mean, 2K’s already getting him into the new 2K20 game with the first DLC pack that’ll come out the same time as the game, which is an incredible turnaround, but who knows how long it’d take here.

I know it's not from Mattel but WWE's site sold through those 500 firefly funhouse kits and are now over $200, YOWIE, WOWIE indeed.

I’m not the biggest expert on games, but might that be easier since it’s probably just a different skin on top of the already existing Bray model? Like the way the Arkham games turn out Batsuits?

Will mattel make his lantern is the question I was thinking the same thing as he came out. I was like wow I wonder if they will make that lamp as an accessory lol. I have a feeling this elite will see the light of day by the spring.
