Since the first post was apparently too subtle: NO Platinum Series! No Ahmed yet. No Faarooq yet. When it makes sense and I can add them to the line I would want to, lets leave this as this for now.

It's interesting the things MDT will respond to. One thread about two figures and one new line that are not being planned, gets a response, but countless questions like 'why don't you use the tall basic boot mold', go unanswered?
Maybe I should start a thread entitled - Mattel Planning to Release an all Tall Basic Boot Mold Series.

Then maybe we could get an answer on why E30 Batista has the wrong boots when the corrected figure is using a boot mold that existed before the E30 figure. A simple "I screwed up" would suffice

Transparency like that is always appreciated, Bill. Much easier this way. I'd like a NoD Farooq, and an APA bp in molded jeans/t-shirts with an office door accessory, and Ahmed is gonna need that gold strapped IC belt. Whenever you get around to it:)

I'd buy Ahmed and would definitely buy the Simmons if it were of his horrible Farooq Assad gimmick w/ Sunny

I would buy both no sweat at all.
BUT
The only Simmons I have any interest in owning are
APA version(not acolytes)with playing cards and APA on the tights. Doom version and only if Butch Reed is coming too.

I'll definitely be buying Ahmed Johnson as I'm a huge fan of his, more and likely will get Farooq also it's just according to attire.

Drat. Was really hoping this was true. Need more of the New Generation era guys, but like JokerFC suggested, I'd LOVE to see Doom (both Simmons and Reed)in addition to a WCW champ era Ron Simmons.

I'd get both, since I never did get around to picking up an extra Zeke to customize an Ahmed. An APA Simmons would be an easy one to make a Doom version out of, so I'd grab 2 of him.

Doubt Ahmed would just bring it up out if the blue unless he's at least received a check in the mail from either mattel or wwe. Wouldn't surprise me if someone already cut him a check for rights to the likeness but perhaps no plans for the actual creation of a figure have been set into motion on mattels part. In that scenario neither party would be lying but the way it looks as of now, someone is full of bs.

DAMN!
Lol, I'd love to have both of them. It would be cool if we could have Ron in Black long tights. That way he could either be APA Ron or Doom Ron.

To make Ahmed more visually different than Zeke, he can be made in dark cocoa instead of Zekes milk chocolate.
Plus the wrist tape and 20 knee pads.

I want an Ahmed Johnson figure Bill. C'mon Bill. Make it happen Bill. Also a D'Lo and Farooq in NOD attire Bill.

I just can't see Ahmed Johnson being a priority, but could totally see a Ron Simmons or Farooq APA figure, and in the case of the latter also getting Bradshaw.

An Elite Ahmed Johnson would be a figure milestone for me right up their with Giant Gonzalez, Kimbo Slice and Robocop with a jet pack.
