Seems like a genuinely passionate guy, and it shows in the product. We definitely appreciate having someone like that designing the WWE line.

I'm glad he talked about the Deco budget per assortment. Hopefully this will end some peoples bitching about one figure getting more (Elite MoJo) and others getting less (Elite Jericho).
Warrior fans rejoice at the mention of the DM WM 7 Warrior. It won't make it into my collection, but I know a lot of people 'here' want that figure.

Awesome interview. Bill as a former hardcore Jakks collector let me just say that Mattel is blowing everything they did out of the water. I hope you keep up the good work and I'm glad your actually an old school wrestling fan! I also really like the packaging on the legends line, the cartoons and the little tid bits make even more fun to collect

This was one of the coolest videos I have ever seen, being so into the line of figures they're producing.
I really hope he DOES read the forum, because I'd just like to say "thank you" for giving us the most amazing wrestling figures I've personally ever seen.
I can't wait to see more videos in the years to come like this!

Can someone put some of the highlights of the interview into text for me and other readers who can't watch the video right now? Karma will be given. Some of the key moments IMO were: -Confirmation of a WM7 Warrior in the defining moments series in the future. -Bill (mattel designer) mentioned that he reads the WF forums everyday and he appreciates the feedback, and they actually take the feedback into consideration. -He also mentioned the reason for certain complaints (IE colored tattoos on some figures and black only on others) which is each line has a budget, so with the Elite's you are more likely to see everyone with colored tattoos because they have a little bit more money to toss around. He said if they gave one person colored tattoo's in a basic series, that would result in sacrificing other details on some of the other figures. |

I really appreciate this interview. He doesn't really tell us alot about what's in the future but you can see he really has the passion and cares about it unlike Jeremy who just acted like he cared and put a whole show on.
