Cancelled Hogans... 6, breaks my heart too... but I think it was these:
1 - Hulkamania Basic - molded red shirt yellow Hulkamania logo (prototype figure leaked and sold on eBay in 2016 I think) 2 - Hulkamania Basic - molded yellow shirt red Hulkamania lettering (basic version of DM) (K-Mart ad) 3 - Hollywood Hogan Defining moments Elite (shown at SDCC) 4 - Hulk Hogan training gear (2 pack with cena) (shown at SDCC) 5 - Zombie Hogan (shown at SDCC was to be in Wave 1) 6 - Hulk Hogan & Macho Man Battle Pack (Wal-Mart) (leaked in a list of upcoming skus, obviously was changed) Mega Powers Basics?

He mentioned previously that he doesn’t do basics anymore, just elites. I know he is off the core line. I was just wondering if he was involved with the choices or attires in the basic flashbacks. I mean does he just design the Elite BAF and someone else decide the other 4? bill told me he still does the NXT basics and the Walmart flashback basics.

Number 6 as elite 2 pack for the Mega Powers explode would have me salivating. Another cloth robe Savage, Hulk Rules Hogan elite, plus winged eagle? Shut up and take my money. All of it.

Q: how do you choose parts for figures? Bill: ...I have a spreadsheet that I made 8 years ago... Had he said that, I would have accepted the baffling part choices for some figures, but based on his answer, it told me that he personally picked out the Sheamus torso and thought "this will be perfect for Ron Simmons" Exactly. That makes it all the more worrying. He decided that kurt angle didn't need new tooling and decided to recycle ryback. That q&a was the worst for years.

I’m trying to figure out what’s different about Kane. The head looks better and the mask is a darker red but I’m not seeing much else. They didn’t make the boots shiny Nor give him laceless boots... don't get the deal behind that. It would suit both undertaker and Kane. Will get this one and sell my old elite 12

Anybody else notice how they “accidentally” confirmed Finn Balor as the next entrance great, after Bobby Roode?
A question was asked about what attire he’d be in and the new guy just laughed and said they don’t know yet lol. I take that as confirmation with a grain of salt.

Thanks! But I didn't do anything...? Oh... that Steve, nevermind. I'm glad we didn't have an awkward Noel Foley presenting the questions like she's Edgar from Men in Black who is new to her skin and just figuring out to form sentence structures. I liked this format, answers could have been punched up a bit though. And it looks like William has given Lorenzo Alcazar spreadsheets theory some legs to stand on, so I am sorry I ever doubted him on that, but I did Excel at it.

ECW figure!!!!!!!! Yes. Please please be a good one. I mean, all ECW is good, but, I need a mic drop of a release to make up for only 1 official ECW elite to date. If I had to guess, I'd say it's going to be RVD (probably from One Night Stand)... I'm sure I saw him listed in an Elite wave coming up. But WOW & Dude Love changing AGAIN. That was one of my questions. I can't wait to hear all the different places he was slotted and/or any bizarre issues that happened along the way. I bet they're gonna feel so relieved when that thing finally gets shipped. ...I know I certainly will! This figure seems to be taking forever, so I just hope it is actually released soon. Can't they just slot it in as a regular Flashback? No rights to Jeff Jarrett?! why not? I fully expected him to say that, but I wouldn't be too disheartened - it's probably just a timing thing... I remember he said something similar when Goldberg and Angle first came back too. I wouldn't say a Jarrett figure is a lock - but I'd say it's more than likely that we'll be getting one (or more) eventually.

They should just hold up cards that say “maybe”, “anything is/it’s possible”or “can’t say”. Those are pretty much the top three answers to everything asked in almost all of the Q&A vids.

Well you know damn well that Ronda Rousey's one and only WWE figure will be with a WrestleMania 34 main event ring. I feel it in my bones.
We're not getting any Basic/Elite Goldberg's or Jinder's. Insane.
I'm not buying another ring. I'd rather buy Jinder for $50 off eBay from somebody who I hope stole it from the box in the store. I hope the sales for these rings is awful because of the screw job we're getting over these figures.

I'm excited about the upcoming ECW Elite figure. I hope it's Sabu or Sandman, or really, just somebody we don't have an Elite of already.

Hopefully that ECW figure ends up being RVD from One Night Stand 2006. Maybe include a customized Briefcase and WWE title?

Say for instance they announced king mable. Then out of the blue a hulk hogan like event occurs and all of the sudden they need to scrap it. If King Mabel goes on a racist rant in the middle of banging Mo's wife, I'll have a lot more concerns than just an upcoming missed Mattel. Super-pumped for a King Mabel. I think - as far as first time in the line characters go - the only figure that is as close to (or maybe even slightly higher than) Mabel on my wants list is a 1994/1995 Bob Backlund in navy tights (excluding Owen of course). So I'm definitely hoping we get a King Mabel in 2018! Valentine, Barbarian, Haku, Bad News Brown, Genius, Koko, Hercules/Power & Glory, Dino Bravo, Mountie, and Repo Man (if he counts as first in the line?) are all on my list, but Mabel and Bobby B are at the top for me. So if that Mabel ends up happening soon, thank you Bill!

I feel for all parties!
Mattel has to deal with $$$, China, WWE (which in and of itself is difficult) and deal with all of us.
We are passionate and all have our different loves!
I really wish we knew at the beginning of the year (almost like wrestling) we get dates and days when new things will be revealed.
For example:
1. I like the tease - guess 2. I like the reveal of the name. 3. I like the rendering of the wrestler. 4. I like seeing the product
Those 4 cycles are a lot of fun and keep things fresh because they are all introduced at different times. So while we see things released we get a tease of what might be next. The next event we learn the name and see a rendering of something else and final product etc ... That to me is fun!
Please note: As a HUGE MASSIVE $$$$$$ Long time collector I love the NEW FIRST TIME IN THE LINE FIGURES per year! I LOVE THE LEGENDS THE MOST! I also like redoing things like a classic Sgt. Slaughter worked better than the first or I like this new Kurt Angle better than the first. I would like to see it with Jimmy Snuka as well.
keep up the great work and thank you.
