I need that nWo 2002 Scott Hall. But how come we've only gotten ONE Elite Razor Ramon in ring attire  Because they just wasted a spot on that new Flashback Elite Razor Ramon in his gear from his vignettes that EVERYONE was clamoring for. :/ |

So...wasn't there supposed to be this huge announcement of a new figure??? It can't possibly be the new HHH or Scott Hall. No, not a huge announcement, just premiering some new figures, dont recall anybody saying it would be huge lol |

I have no idea who is doing the colours because it's nowhere near what it should be  Dm WMIII Savage likes this. 👍🏻 |

That HHH body type with the actual purple trunks would’ve allowed me to customize a Shamrock when he won the UFC Superfight title after defeating Severn via choke at UFC 6. But, alas, Mattel is JUST A BUNCH OF MEAN KIDS!!!

Backlund and Hacksaw look awesome! Scott hall is nice but I have the RSC exclusive so it's a pass for me.

AFA (Mattel employee) followed that up by saying it would be out by the end of this year. He was then asked a follow up question if Blacklund was in series 4 or on his own. AFA answered “you gotta stay tuned for more info...” 🤔 I was the one who asked AFA the question. Very interesting response. There is basically no way Flashback Series 4 will be out by the end of the year, so I’m assuming it’s a stand alone figure. Maybe a NYCC Exclusive or something? I'm interested to see what this means. Maybe an add-in figure that ships with WM's E63 assortment? Bill said the figure was in E63, which seemed like a very specific detail. Either way, I'm hoping this figure isnt impossible to find. |

Not intersted in the WM19 Triple H, would've preferred a WM21 or 22.
That Hall looks great and i'll definitely get it if they release a 2002 NWO Nash to go with it
Seth looks good so i'll get him too

Lots of great stuff shown! Hall is a definite, Duggan is a maybe. Passing on everything else.

So can someone explain why they keep putting The Game on Triple H's tights and then they keep removing it (I know the reason is because of the Game rapper; but if they know they have to change it right before they mass produce, why bother?) Is it so someone within Mattel can have a rare figure? Just wondering where you heard the reason they can’t use the game? I’ve never heard about this. |

I would take Bill’s word over AFA, because Bill is in charge of the Elites line so I would just think his would be the more accurate answer. |

It was probably only during the court proceedings |

Bill said the figure was in E63. AFA said it would be exclusive to WalMart. And considering the "wait and see" comment I think it's safe to assume this will be something new/different (ie not Flashback wave 4 or something else that we're familiar with). It could be a solid packed figure that releases alongside E63 that is exclusive to Walmart, or a figure that is included in the case assortments for Walmart cases only. Both guys are heavily involved with the product and both are pretty avid wrestling fans, so I don't have any reason to not believe what they're saying. Personally, I like that Mattel is exploring different release methods to get figures that may not fly off the pegs into collector's hands. |

It most likely might be elite 65. If it's supposed to be out by the end of the year. Maybe Bill had his series numbers crossed and Backlund was originally scheduled for 63 and got pushed back a few waves.

He was made aware of the confusion on the forum and still said it was 63. Hope that helps! |

Maybe someone over at RingsideC2 could shed some light on why Backlund isnt up for pre order? |

Personally, I like that Mattel is exploring different release methods to get figures that may not fly off the pegs into collector's hands. I know some people didn't like it, but back in the day of DCUC Mattel released a few Waves as Walmart exclusives. I liked it just because I knew if I went to Walmart I would find Wave five but if I went to another store they would have a different wave. Can you imagine how mental people would be going if Mattel came out and was like "Alright guys we took a vote and Elite 77 is a Walmart exclusive wave". I'm sure Mattel isn't doing this with an entire line but the idea of a single figure like that being exclusive, I'm for it. |
