Noelle Foley is very pretty, whether she's pretty or not is not and should not be the issue. The issue is these q&a sessions are done by people who know very little about the figures they're talking about. Being Mick Foley's daughter is not enough

If ringside is going to continue to pretend questions like legend killer orton, and undisputed jericho don't exist... I have said it before and will again. Stop these awful Q&A's already, and while your at it fire noelle. If i could i would hire her, fire her, hire her back just to fire her again. To be fair the Legend Killer Orton question was answered in the last q&a before this where Bill said it was likely. He just didn't give a time frame. I can't imagine we won't have one within the next year though, most likely less than that. So he said "its likely" a year ago but still not here and no mention of it any time soon ?? If thats what "likely" means i will be 50 years old and still no undisputed jericho...

What the hell is he supposed to answer? I rather have lineup questions then ambushing him ... BILL DID U KNOW MY SAMOA JOE HAD A PAINT SMUDGE NEVER BUYING A FIGURE AGAIN UGH I agree that he shouldn't be ambushed with questions that come off disrespectful but he could be asked questions regarding some consumer concerns. A few years ago DC Collectibles had issues with figure breakage. They were asked about it in a respectful way during Q&As and addressed the issue, saying that they were experimenting with different plastics to improve durability. This year Pixel Dan on YouTube brought up to DC Collectibles that there have been some delays and asked about it respectfully. The rep said that it had to do with them trying out different factories overseas to find the optimal one that can deliver the best quality for the best cost. Now in terms of what I consider disrespectful was ShartimusPrime's interview with the Marvel Legends guys. He asked why female figures don't have double jointed elbows. They said that when the females have thinner arms having the double joints often ruins the aesthetic of the figure. Shartimus then proceeds to pull out a DC Icons figure and goes "Well this Harley Quinn has double jointed elbows and looks fine to me." Luckily he's friendly with the Marvel Legends guys because it was definitely an awkward moment to watch. I could see people being frustrated with fluff questions when Bill takes time out of his day to answer questions. I think there's ways to address concerns and still be respectful about it. For example, let's look at painted skin tones on singlet torsos. Bad way to ask "Why do so many figures have skin tones painted on their torsos? It looks horrible!" Good way to ask "Recently we've gotten a bunch of figures with skin tones painted on their torsos. What it the reasoning for this? Is it easier to produce the figure this way?" You just highlighted why I will never watch another video with Shartimus Prime in it. That guy acts like a tactless toolbag.

I think whoever asks the questions would just be reading them off a screen or card (and not go into any detail) - so at least Noelle is easy on the eye and has some wrestling connection.

If thats what "likely" means i will be 50 years old and still no undisputed jericho... It wasn't a year ago. I don't remember which q&a it was. It might of been Ringside Fest or might of even been after that. Orton is under contract so don't worry I'm sure you guys who want it will get your generic Legend Killer Randy Orton. I wouldn't mind one myself but there are so many other figures and questions that get dodged.

I think whoever asks the questions would just be reading them off a screen or card (and not go into any detail) - so at least Noelle is easy on the eye and has some wrestling connection. That first part is true but I think I'd rather have someone a little more knowledgable about the product and maybe even show a little emotion over the answers instead of standing there being awkwardly cute having a wrestling connection (a.k.a a famous dad). I get it, she isn't a collector and is just doing the job she was hired for. It's not her fault and I'm sure she has more knowledge than we give her credit for. After all her little brothers collect. I'm still waiting on that opening to work with Barbie or Strawberry Shortcake because I had sisters that collected them. 3. If the product sucks. Return it. If the quality is so bad, don't buy it. That sounds great on paper and people love to say that on here BUT...because of all of these issues I no longer order figures online because you never know what you're going to get and it's a pain the ass to return stuff. I've also passed on figures that were in stores because of issues only to never see them again. So I have been following that advice that so many people are so quick to offer up and because of that I am spending A LOT less money than I did even a year ago. I was one of the first people to start pointing out all of these little things and would be vilified but now more people and more people are seeing those same things. I'd rather have these things addressed and corrected versus lines starting to be cancelled because sales are down. Case in point...Activision just released their Marvel Ultimate Alliance videogame recently and people that bought it are complaining about issues in the game. Instead of being bashed for complaining by others, Marvel's Creative Director says they are going to fix the issues. It's seems simple to me.

You didn't quote the rest of my point there which pretty much highlighted what the customers of activision did. They lodged complaints to someone who could address it-- not essentially into a void where no one that can do anything will see it.

Seeing people making personal attacks on a woman about her looks or her intelligence is pretty freaking gross by the way.

It's good for what it is, a promotional tool. They aren't gonna pull back the curtain completely and they aren't gonna ask tough questions. Again it's promotional piece, not a hard hitting expose.

Not perfect, but I found out there's another flashback manager and diva on the way, as well as Goldust getting a soft goods robe. I'm pretty happy.

Nothing wrong with giving your opinion about an interviewer's skills when that is that person's job. That is part of the deal when you put yourself out there. Doesn't matter if that person is a man or a woman.

Maybe the flashback manager or diva will be Marlena to go with Goldust
She could be either of those two

Doesn't matter if that person is a man or a woman. True, but just like the criticism thread which lead to Bill leaving the board for a time, some of the attacks are personal and don't need to be. One can say that she seems to be doing a poor job, or that she needs to make herself better acquainted with the product without resorting to personal attacks.

It is fair to critique her interviewing skills (which are quite bad considering she's been doing this for a bit now), but you don't have to go below the belt. But I do find it laughable that people bring up her gender when trying to defend her. What does that matter?

Critiquing an interviewers skills isn't being objectified or dehumanized...like...at all. Nothing wrong with people pointing out she isn't good at it.

What are you guys expecting over a representative for RSC showing off TOYS - hard hitting journalism? She's there to promote the product. She loves the business. She apparently likes the figures. You think she is going to say "oh wow that figure is bad!" I still think you guys have this fantasy where Bill is handcuffed and grilled about quality assurance from Chris Hansen.

I dint watch the interview yet but that GM question was damned stupid...all you need to do is simply swap a short hair smiling Bryan onto a suited body and there you have it. Yep - Done ;-) ...

But I am expecting someone whose been doing this for at least a year (if not longer), to remember to hold the mic up to her mouth when she is speaking and hold the mic up to the interviewee's mouth when that person is speaking. Maybe I am asking for too much, though..
