My dearest William Miekina, aka Bill Miekina, Bill, MDT, Billy Mack,
I write this today to issue a very public apology to you.
I was one of them.. I was one of the ones who brought great shame to this wonderful forum. I questioned your ability (not so much a lack of effort). Yes, I did. I questioned how Elite 39 Sting could have passed through the approval chain the way the prototype photos depicted it. I was also one of the main ones going off on the ringside exclusive Scott Hall when it was shown at Comic Con. It’s true. It was I.
The last few day I have had some time to think. My eyes were treated to a spectacular array of incredible figures over Ringside Fest weekend. It made me think.. I thought, “damn, I shouldn’t have said what I said in that thread about Billy Mack’s lack of ability.” Damn me.
.. okay in all seriousness, don’t judge a book by its cover. Lesson learned. Hope you read this and find some humor in it. Regardless if you decide to continue to post or not, I do hope you continue to visit these forums and laugh at some of our crazy comments or find joy in how crazy we go when we see 99% (can’t give you 100 because I’m sure even you can admit there have been some questionable choices out there) of the figures you help design.
I finally received my RSC Scott Hall, and grant it, it is basically the Razor Ramon figure with different color, it somehow has made its way to the top of my favorites list. You guys really did pull off an awesome figure there. Also, saw the MOC pictures of E39 Sting. I can admit when I’m wrong, and boy, was I wrong. The figure looks incredible. I can’t do anything else but praise your work on it.
I can’t wait for everything else that was shown at Ringside, and I look forward to all of the other things you weren’t able to shown but I’m sure will make incredible figures.
William Bartholomew Miekina III, I hereby kiss the ring.

I saw "Billy Mack" and immediately thought of this guy: WWE allowed this guy to have "5 minute white boy" challenges.

If this is your song, where is the rhythm? The harmony?
Seriously though, you shouldn't talk crap about figures before they're even in your hand.

Well said. I agree, after seeing what's on offer at RSF, how could anyone doubt Bill's work? I too can't wait for everything that's been shown to hit RSC or retail.

It is HILARIOUS to see everyone kissing ass so much in this place over the past week. It is sickening.

Lol Way to own that I give you a credit for that op
I find the truth hilarious so I always tell the truth and try to get the truth out of others. I said the e39 sting looks like bleep. Lol I didn't go much further because I only buy flashbacks and I really don't care. The flashbacks are great and only a slight change to the brow on Sid and that one would be amazing.

whoa whoa whoa... nobody is kissing ass. I still think Mattel messed up some gems in the past and I'll continue to stick to that. I owned up to being wrong about Scott Hall RSC and E39 Sting. I can admit when I'm wrong. So I did. But I also wanted to provide some laughter here. So relax...

I don't understand why you think so. I'm a flashback collector, so to see the wide range of releases from the Heenan Family to Umaga (Who came right out of left field) has me excited and I am a firm believer that credit should be given where it's due, and Bill deserves all the credit for making these figures happen. I don't consider it brownnosing so much. OP admitted he was eating his words and for that I respect him. To have Bill's work ethic called into question is preposterous since it's abundantly clear that he works hard making things happen and isn't lazing on the job. Call me a suck up if it means that I can respect the work someone puts into something and also give kudos to someone who regrets attacking someone to the point of leaving the board. It takes guts to admit when you messed up, and OP clearly has them.

Way to own up to it man. The way Bill talks about these figures and how proud he shouts that he designs the WWE line on all of his professional social media sites, you can tell he's passionate about what he does.

Same here, I think I'm only skipping the basic Barrett, because he said there's a new scan and an upcoming elite will likely be a better version and the 2010 basic Undertaker because I already have a bajillion of 'em.

I think they look good and always did. Not great, but good. It really comes down to opinions and everyone is going to have their favorites. Just don't be insulting or abusive with your opinions.
