On Christmas day Mattel’s WWE Senior Designer Bill Miekina revealed prototype images of the once cancelled Wrestlemania Axxess/WWE Shop exclusive Elite Asuka figure.

Wrestlemania Axxess/WWE Shop Exclusive Asuka Elite

Bill Miekina said that the Asuka figure will actually appear in a future Elite lineup in 2019, which is great news for collectors as she was supposed to be an exclusive at Wrestlemania Axxess as well as WWE Shop. She was first revealed at San Diego Comic Con earlier this year and planned to come with several masks and head gear as well as a fur coat.

There is no word at this time what accessories she will come with exactly, if any now, but her new head scan looks much better than her last one as it features the True FX scanning technology.
