I think Legends and Flashbacks will be addressed at Comic con.
So I'd personally like to know:
If you have any plans to bring out previously released Legends in different attires/new headsculpts?
Like:
Roddy Piper Flashback from around 88 to 92? (longer hair, new headsculpt, bigger body sculpt...)
Ted Diabease Legend/FB with new Headsculpt?
Stone Cold with bigger body and new headsculpt?
Mr Perfect in scale?
Sgt Slaghter in camo?
Can you find a way to release Elite figures you have cancelled like the one replaced by the Rock in series 16, Magnum TA, OMG and The Giant for example?
Really enjoyed the All-Star 2 packs anything similar in the plans?
How about a 2-pack Elite series with 2 modern packs and 1 Flashback pack (or the other way round?
It would be a good way of getting Tag Teams out!
E.g Uso's, Epico & Primo, Nasty Boys, LOD, British Bulldogs...etc.....

By the time Jakks was done with the WWE, I was already a few years out of collecting completely. Once you guys started, it took me a while (the SDCC Undertaker, to be exact) but you eventually reeled me back in because you guys have them beat in just about every way possible. Emphasis on 'just about.' While I think you guys are doing an awesome job with things, I do have some concerns. They mostly deal with the paint applications for the heads. A lot of the scans you guys put out are great, but when it comes down to it, it's the painting of it that really makes or breaks it, and it's either hit or miss. Unfortunately, there are a good number of times where it's a miss--whether it's the placement of eyebrows, facial hair, etc. Why is this? And another question, to be blunt, what's Mattel's aversion to using more than one color for hair? For guys with darker hair it works, but for Superstars like Edge, Dolph Ziggler, Shawn Michaels, Christian, etc. it most certainly does not. Overall, I am very pleased with a majority of what you guys put out. And with the recent inclusion of Foley and the announcement of plans for a Curt Hawkins a while back, I can't really say I have any other complaints--quite the opposite, if anything. Keep up the great work.

Do you have upcoming plans to make Elite figures of guys who are featured heavily on TV every week such as a new Kane, Chris Jericho, Brodus Clay, Ryback & Tensi?
Even though you said there are no plans to make a new Elite Scale Ring because the last one didn't sell will you make one?
Even though you have said that Scott Hall is completely off limits numerous times can you please make one?
FOR THOSE THAT AREN'T AWARE THOSE QUESTIONS ARE ALL JOKES. PEOPLE SHOULD REALLY BE MORE CREATIVE WITH THEIR QUESTIONS AND STOP WASTING THEM ON STUFF WE ALREADY KNOW. OBVIOUSLY IF SOMEONE IS FEATURED HEAVILY ON TV EVERY WEEK WE ARE GETTING A FIGURE OF THEM. SCOTT HALL IS OFF LIMITS MATTEL HAS SAID IT TIME AND TIME AGAIN AND THE LAST ELITE SCALE RING DIDN'T SELL WELL SO THERE ISN'T ANOTHER ONE COMING ANYTIME SOON!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now then for my real question.
When will you start packing less Cena's, Orton's & Rey Mysterio's in the cases leaving retail and Ringside with them and start packing some of the more popular figures more than 1 per case so we don't have to pay secondary market prices? Its obvious by now that you guys underestimate the popularity of guys you usually make one or two per case in Elite(like Booker T & Nash who one is on TV, another was on TV only a few months back) and you think Cena, Orton & Mysterio are way more popular than they actually are.

Will we see a Flashback Brock Lesnar in his WWE attire from when he debuted? IE. no shorts, but tights etc.
Any update on an entrance stage and when it will come out?
Any plans for a backstage playset to go with the interview areas?
When can we expect an Elite Brodus Clay?

Can we expect a new Daniel Bryan Elite before the end of the year?
If so, will he come with his YES Jacket/attire?

Is there any chance of getting ringkirts or different coloured ropes for the ESR, could these be packed as elite accessories with people who dont come with any accessories like the first Elite Jericho?
Is there any plans to make NXT people such as Tyson Kidd, McGillicuty Elite, Johnny Curtis?
Are you currently or planning to start making people like Seth Rollins who will be called up in the near future or do you wait until they are offcialy on Raw or Smackdown to begin work on their figures?

Is there any way you could release elites on mattycollector, so that international people can buy them? I know a lot of countries don't stock elites anymore and they want the new serieses.

Any chance that we could see more gimmick Legends from the 80s and 90s as internet exclusives? The Missing Link comes to mind!

Will there be any more Eddie Guerrero figures planed for next year? His early WWE run with chyna, his Mullet, Black and gold tights or his Heel WcW run with LWO shirt? This would be a great spot for a future Flashback.
Any plans for another Warrior or Macho man next year? Macho man in his neon tights with matching neon shirts that are also made of tights material. Which would be an easy paint over the upper body with out sleeves. Warrior with his singlet his second run?
Any more planes of slipping in some more Legends in the Basic Lines? You could throw in some other legends already made, Mr. Perfect with different colored attires, rody pipper with different head scan, road warriors,.....

I cant help but notice how perfect Ezekiel Jacksons Elite torso would work for an Elite Warlord. With the accessories he wore he would be a great Flashback. Have you guys considered The Warlord at any point?

Sorry for another Q. I mainly want this one. Will we eventually see ECW Mattels??? I mean, I made my Elite BOPPV Bret into a Raven. I love it! But, I know Mattel can top that. Also, I hate using RA vs Elite/Basic in my fed. I'm a huge ECW Fan, and would love more ECW people. Sandman, Raven, Tazz, RVD (TNA iknow), B.W.O, F.B.I, Super Crazy, Rey Mistero, Lion Heart, Jerry Lynn, The Gangstas, Perry Saturn, Pittbulls, Shane Douglas, Balls Mahoney, Paul Heyman, Rhyno, Bill Alfonzo, Too Cold, Al Snow, Justin Credible, The Rottens, CW Anderson, Tommy Dreamer, Dudley Boys, and most of all, SA- ING-BU |

I recently read an employee interview where he said it's not uncommon for Mattel to be working on over 100 figures any given time. How many figures in the WWE line do you typically work on at once? More specifically, how many Elite figures do you focus on at any one time?
For the Elite line, do Mattel have a set plan in mind for which guys go into which wave, or do you swap out different names until reaching a finalised list?
Are there any plans for Mattel to revisit some of the guys explored in the failed Legends line? With the introduction of Flashbacks, is it possible we may see second attempts of guys like Terry Funk, Road Warriors etc. in their more iconic attires and appearances?
How far ahead do Mattel typically plan the WWE line? Do you have the next 12 months mapped out, or do you take things as they come and alter the line accordingly?
The CM Punk/Randy Savage Battlepack was a great seller, so could we be seeing more packs which combine modern stars with guys from the past? Is it possible we may see Flashback Battlepacks or Flashback Basics?
I know you probably can't name names, but excluding the main roster, roughly how many guys are signed to a Legends deal and can have their own figures made?
After making the All-Stars line to tie in with the videogame, have there been any talks of producing a line similar to WWE Brawl, with more fantasy elements and over-the-top gimmicks and appearances for guys?
Do you guys know of any of the WWE guys who collect action figures? Lots of the younger guys are into videogames and comics so I figure there must be at least one of them.
I promised myself I wouldn't ask a figure-specific question, but I have to: Are we going to be getting a Survivor Series '96 Bret Hart within the next year?

What are the chances of getting a Basic Rock from between 2001/03 when he had hair but no sideburns?.
Can we expect to see anymore Legends in Basic form?
Will we ever see a CM Punk Elite 16 in Basic form?

(1) For Flashbacks, are their any plans for figures of superstars who were big in the WWE, but the figures would be of them before they got big and from their time in WCW and ECW? What I mean is their lesser known characters Unlike the Flashback Nash from nWo days which was still a big character. For example: Hollywood Blonde Stunning Steve Austin (WCW Austin), Lord Steven Regal (WCW Regal), Jean-Paul Lévesque (WCW HHH). (2) Are their any plans for a best of Raw basic series, like the best of ____ PPV but of Raw's greatest moments because of the upcoming 1,000 Raw episode? If there is any plans, is it going to be some of the top superstars in attires of some of the most memorable Raw moments? (3) Basic Series 20 Global Superstars: (3A) Was it your(Mattel) or WWE's idea for this set and what made you(or WWE) pick it? (3A) Why was the Rey Mysterio that came with it solid black instead of something colorful or something based off of Mexico colors to represent the Global Superstar theme? (4) Thank you for having these Q & A sessions. They are very nice of you to do and we all appreciate them  . |
