I was surprised to see the upper half of ESR steps included with the latest Elite Brock figure. I think it was brilliant for them to include the accessory however, I would like to see them take this a step forward and include ESR skirts and ropes with future bopp figures. Although such accessories would be useless to non ESR owners but it would also cause stronger demand for mattel to release a current Raw ESR. Would anyone else here back up this idea?

I dont think Mattel did this intentionally as a way to give ESR accessories. But rather something to draw interest and add accessories to Brock Lesnar's figure. Lesnar is known to slam guys into the steel steps, or pick the steps up for a slam. So I believe Mattel did it to give its customers an extra accessory that isnt very common that would go well with this figure.

I think Mattel did it because that's how Brock lost at WM, sledge to the face (comes with HHH), and then pedigree on the steps (which come with Brock). I think thy just wanted us to be able to re-enact what happened.

Cactus Jack also comes w/ ESR steps. It just sucks that they don't have the bottom piece.

I don't think there's a point to releasing accessories for a product that has been discontinued. If anything, it should be the other way around... if a new ESR was released then maybe the accessories would start rolling out. We know that's not happening.
The steps were only included simply because they were featured in the match in the specific event this figure is based on.

Brock came with the steps cause he had so little change in his Mania attire. A beanie and the steps he was pedigreed on.

I'd LOVE ESR ring skirts, but I highly doubt it. Does anyone know if there are custom ones available?

Why do people ask if Mattel will do what Jakks did (ring skirts, etc) ?? They are totally different companies. Mattel is doing their own thing.
ESR stuff is NOT in the plan. They are making a mint off of figures alone, so they will continue to do what works.
If ESR stuff was in the works, it would have been done during the "experimental" phase (ie: Legends, Defining Moments, Entrance Greats) when the line first came out. Not to mention none of this stuff is cost-efficient.

MDT has confirmed and denied so many things that turn out to be the other way around.
It really wouldn't surprise me if we saw another ESR in the future.

They told us they will never put "guys in suits" in the basic line. They said they wouldn't make basic figures w/ t-shirts. never shout never |

Eh, not really. You'd sell a couple for a few hundred bucks apiece, then maybe a few hundred for 50-100 bucks each, and after that you'd be pretty much giving them away. I don't think they'd even make the warehousing costs back, unless you already have a warehouse. |
