Interesting. I used to print mine out, and professionally bind it with hard back and plastic sheet front page. Look forward to seeing your book when it is released! Do you know what the rrp will be for it? I am very interested to see this book as I have had a guide out for about 10 years now that I have sold hundreds of on eBay, so I am intrigued to see what this looks like!!! I am in process of updating mine now with a number of new finds that Zack Ryder has published on his pages as it has been about 2 years since I have had it available for purchase! I know a number of people on this site and FB pages have enjoyed my guide in the past! Geat to hear about your guide and there have been some amazing ones. We’re looking to move away from ebooks and do something a little different from what is already out there. A physical full colour book with input from various writers, designers, celebs and collectors. Kickstarter will launch next month.

How about some questions regarding accessories. I'm glad there were no superfluous accessories like damn near every figure or which followed, but there were also some gems that could have been made. I'm sure costs had a lot to do with it, but did they have everything to do with it? We’ll ask!

Out of interest (maybe not exactly appropriate for this project) but have production numbers ever been confirmed for the line? I’d be interested to see (for example) just how many Dusty figures were produced (or at least released into stores) compared to the rest of series 2, or how many of the black/purple HBK/Razors were put out compared to the usual white/black and red versions in series 10. Geeky I know, but interesting to me anyway

Geeky I know, but interesting to me anyway I'd second that. Also curious if certain regions got more quantities than others. What about figures who were hard to find on US as opposed to foreign cards - was that because they left the company? If so, did Hasbro intend to ship them out of the US but ended up liquidating them there instead? If not, then what's the deal? Why are there seemingly tons of foreign Kokos and Warrior 3s on foreign cards and so few on US cards?

On the topic of Warrior 3, is it true when he came out in the U.S. that he was actually packed with Series 4? That's when I found him, he seemed to have come in at TRU along with Bret, Taker etc. And this was after I had previously bought the rest of S4.

Asked and the is more of a marketing question rather than design. Still hunting down marketing for answers from their side.

I’m hoping you all can help here..,
We’re looking to document all the test/prototypes/Errors/Rare Figures/drawings/cards.
Do we know the owners of all these? Ideally we’d like to document their images too with full credit.
The response so far on Twitter/Facebook/Instagram and email has been phenomenal.

What was the best selling figure? The worst?
Did they feel any pressure from the WWF?

Why was the Bret mailaway changed to the S4 version instead of the new version shown in the magazine ad?

Any info on the prototype Shawn Michaels (from Undertake 'Em All ad in WWF Magazine) with the split legs/Jake Roberts style body? Why was it changed to the Rick Martel-style body? Does the original prototype exist anywhere?

Was there ever a plan for a steel cage or other type accessories? How about referee, managers, or other belts?

How did Kamala get released with an inaccurate star design on his belly, when accurate moon versions existed as what I assume were earlier samples?
I'd like to know more about green trunks Macho Man. Was it an alternate prototype, or was it actually planned as a separate release? If it was intended as a separate release, what was it planned for (if not the JC Penney ring), and what happened?
I don't know if there's a story here, but I'm also curious as to why the Barbarian never got a figure. He was one of the most visually interesting characters, and was definitely around long enough.
Macho Man was the only Royal Rumble mini figure without a matching regular version. Was one ever planned?
How did Piper end up with red elbow pads and kneepads?
Was a Natural Disasters attire Earthquake ever planned? Seems like an easy and essential re-release.

Were the figures supposed to have stands, based on the holes in their feet?

No disrespect but after looking on Twitter at this, it just looks like the result of a Google image search. The list of people that need crediting for the images will probably need it's own book!

I'm curious about the lineup for the orange card,how many figures did it have and who were they?
and to expand on this were there any superstars cancelled? besides mega maniacs brutus of course.

Don't know if I missed the cut off on questions, but just thought of a few more:
Was there someone cancelled from the green card set? Seemed like Crush and Yoks were added later probably because of the set being short on guys.
And I don't know if it was asked already, but I would love to know case break downs, unless they changed throughout waves.
Were there some instances of boxes being shipped of just one guy? I remember when I found Honky Tonk Man, it was at a Kmart, and they had an entire peg filled with him. Seemed like they got a box of just him. Same with the only time I saw the Nasty Boys, a full peg of them and no LOD to be seen.

Don't know if it'll be another marketing question reply or not, mind.

I doubt we will get such answers, but I'd be interested to hear about possible short-packing/over-packing of certain figures or to certain regions. For me, Nasty Boys were NEVER found in any store, but LOD was plentiful. Don't think I ever saw an entire peg full of them, though.

Production numbers would be insightful.
