Was a fantastic day. Daze is an ace guy too. If you've not checked out his U tube feed you really should his toy hunts .in his words are epic. Such a genuine great guy to get along. I'll post pics tomorrow as i've just got in. But i asked him a lot of questions. Which he was kind enough to answer even though he'd just come off the plane. Poor lad. So here we go. Heres tidbits of what he said.
When asked if there was a HBK in Red or his Texas Rumble attire coming out any time. He said its coming but couldn't say when or what series. (That got me super hyped.
When asked about the height of the ring ropes he agreed and was very mad at himself for the scale of the ropes on the new ring. he says hopefully if this one sells well next week be SD and it'll be fixed. He took on board when i told him i actually bought two rings just to fix the scale.
I said i would be up for a Rick Rude Elite in the same gear Jakks did. He smirked and said we'd do it better
. However its not the attire he wants to go for. His next one would be either WCW attire or the Green attire.
No plans for any RAW or SD sets sadly
No immedient plans for Triple H 2000 alot of people asked me to ask that.
There plans in the works for backstage set
When asked about Neville's attire from the protos. That was the new Elite one. They changed to the gold attire last minute.
Not ever allowed to do an ambulance due to the fact WWE won't allow it. When asked why he said because they think the parents will see this and ban kids from watching reguarding acciedents. etc. Along them lines. He said even he thinks its a daft idea.
Next elite Undertaker will almost certainly be the first Bad Ass version with the ginger ponytail and trench coat
I asked does he have any figures in his collection which no one else had. He said several but wasn't able to say which.
He's trying his best to to get the Then Now & Forever series into the UK. As i said they seem to be only series no stores have. But he was under the impression they sold them here.
Jinder in elite is garenteed possibly with a carpet. And his attire more then likely would be his first title win. So green. (I was very happy about this)
If Tyler Bate sells well Pete Dunn will be next
I asked him any other was the entrance gear could be made for more like posable he said he's working on it but its unlikely. (He also added There's a new Elite Miz coming out with the gearhe wore at Wrestlemania thats just past. And its awesome and very posable. So not plastic. Well thats the plan he says anyways.
And finally we end of what could be a bit of bad news for everyone. However i'm on the fence. about this.
When asked about the new tooling on the arms. He said its possible chance it will be carried over to the elite line too.
And thats it guys. Hope i helped. This is from the man himself. Great guy to meet. Me and my fiancee really enjoyed our trip to London. I know they'll be a lot of none believers here however i will post pics tomorrow etc.
I was gutted i'm working Saturday cos i really wanted to see the stuff he was showing. But i was shocked to actually meet him today as he wasn't spose to be there till tomorrow.
