I was just wondering if someone from Ringside could discuss the process of deciding on RSE figures. Like how long before the release do you decide on these things? And what factors go into the decision? What part does Mattel play on your decision making? Who exactly from RS makes the decisions?
Idk I was always curious about the process. Could Tom or someone weigh in? Thanks.

i'm very curious george as well in regards to the process... who chooses the character and the outfit..
i have a feeling TOM pushed for that punk.. rumor has it that TOM has also been ghostwriting mattel's cali offices with letters demanding a 1of5 Ultimate Warrior with no face paint, a golds gym shirt hand ripped into a stringy tank top, zebra pants, black work boots, and a removable fanny pack...
oh brother!
tom get us a 97 HBK next!!

Mattel Make an Elite Classic HBK? starting to wonder if that'll ever happen myself I bet Mattel's holding back some releases for the next few years of their contract. I think we can reasonably assume we'll get Hogan and Flair at SOME point, which will be gold. A mid-90s HBK and early Undertaker will sell well, too. I just think they're trying to be strategic and no front-load their line. Of course, there is always the slight risk that HBK could sign with TNA or something like that before Mattel's contract ends. Let's hope that doesn't happen. |

ya , you could be right on that, but it seems like they should put some of those big guns in the line to ensure that flashbacks continue successfully, especially when hbk and undertaker have many looks to draw upon for years
They Should go all out Balls to the wall, Whats the worst that can happen? everyone buys up the product and they run through all their top names? well at that point people might start buying more less obscure guys to go with the top names they have already, or they can just put out other costumes..... i may be wrong but i do whole heartedly believe legends would still be at retail if they had included in the first 4 series - Andre, HBK , Undertaker, HHH , Mysterio and Kane , all guys who were on contract
either way , mattel start making elite classic hbks dammit

Mattel completely ignored all are classic HBK questions in the Q&A. There were tons of questions asking about a classic elite HBK. All the said was there is the RR Heritage HBK. WE WANT AN ELITE CLASIC HBK!!!

They'll give us 20 Mysterio's a year, but can't give us 1 Classic elite flashback HBK! What a joke. We should make a "We want a elite flashback HBK" thread!!!

Not to mention a classic HBK has many attire choices. All colorful and awesome...so its not like they just have to make one. Damn I want a mid 90s elite HBK so bad as well as a purple Taker.

Yeah i would LOVE a Michaels in blue zebra print tights with a vest and hat. I always wanted Jakks to make an updated one besides the BCA and they never did.

You WON'T be seeing a Hogan or Flair as long as they're signed with TNA from Mattel. It would be neat to have extravagant figures of them by Mattel, but the chances of that are slim.
