btw Mr Perfect.......u get the award for most left field question. executive consultant Mr Perfect figure? Why not? Already getting their money's worth out of the suit mold. Plus with the success of WWE 2K14, which is what E23 is based off of, now younger kids who weren't around in 92 now know the character as well.

Big John Studd is just a fat guy in white tights. No cool accessory, doesn't look cool He can come with the robe or a duffle bag from his match with Andre. i'd prefer his 1989 look:

I'll admit.....Studd with the duffle bag from WM1 would be sweet. Again, thanks to 2K14, little sh*ts know about that match now.

Did they even make mention of his name? I want a Perfect figure, but that's not a good example. haha.

I don't bust anyone's balls for way dumber requests than this.

its just as easy for me to say half of todays roster are just boring guys in trunks. some have no color, no flash. but I'd bet they have fans and those fans would want figures of them! The difference is, they have many, many fans now because they're on TV every week. That's why John Studd had an LJN figure and Lou Thesz didn't... Because Studd was relevant then and Thesz wasn't. Just like right now, Daniel Bryan is relevant and Studd isn't. Twenty or thirty years from now, they're probably not making Dolph Ziggler dolls anymore, and someone on the mindhologramweb will be asking for them. Fans that grew up watching Big John Studd are most likely in their mid-thirties to fifties now. That's not really the prime toy-buying age, particularly the way the economy is. There are some fans from that era who still buy dolls, but it's by no means certain that there are enough to make it a good idea. He was just too early (and bland) to fit the era where WWF business and merchandising went global... He's never really looked great in WWE DVDs etc to captivate younger audiences. He's always just "ugh, that guy? Skip to the next match" on DVDs, and "ugh, this match is only in because they couldn't sign Mr T" in the video games. Papa Shango made it into the Hasbro line so stayed memorable for a new generation of fans, and his weird storyline with Ultimate Warrior was one of the most memorable of the early nineties. And I'm not sure his Mattel figure even sold that well. The safe bets for flashbacks are attitude era stars (midcard and up), and megastars or big gimmicks from earlier eras.

Y ask when rvd is coming out? We already know he's in e27. It's the same questions every q&a.
Why not ask about the tru mankind or something new for once.

Decent interview. Just unfortunate that my question wasn't answered.

I am really hoping against more edge flashbacks. There's more than enough edge figures out now.

There were tons of questions about new Usos in the q&a thread, yet they ask about HBK when the fig is already sitting right there.....unbelievable.

It's Friday y'all! Lighten up. I was just saying. They barely showed him in game, it's a bad example.

So Mattel will pursue someone like "Crush" and sign a deal with them directly - but someone like Ric Flair or Scott Hall or Goldberg - they have to wait for them to sign a deal with WWE? Can someone please explain this one to me? And who do they expect is looking for a "Hugh Morrus" figure? When that doesn't sell, they'll claim that no one wants WCW figures You're telling me they have Doink rights and won't make him? What gives? And how have they NOT scheduled a Goldust yet? He's a current tag-team champion, legend, and has been main-eventing for several weeks!!!! "Maybe late in 2014." More Edge's? I'd rather see some new faces in the line.... we already have several Edges..... The reason I don't get excited for these things is that the answers are all the same. "When they sign, we will make them." "They're not signed, we can't make them." "Maybe in 2015." "If the legends sell well, we will make more legends".... I feel like I could answer a Mattel Q&A at this point... I didn't have high expectations for this & I'm glad.... Thanks for posting it in it's entirety, though.... the small clips were annoying.

Id like to know why Flair hasnt signed a contract. If Mattel never get to Hogan or Flair it'll be a crying shame.

Thanks for asking about a FB Lita. It's a shame they still haven't signed her on for a deal. Hopefully it can happen very soon as I really want one to go next to my Trish.

MDT already stated that they will start on Flair right away once WWE gets his rights. It's obviously out of MDT's control. Go ask Vince on Twitter why they haven't signed Flair yet.

So here's what we got
Crush, Hugh Morris, and Big John Studd might get future figures.
Lita, Goldberg, Flair, Hall aren't signed.
We will see ALOT of El Toritos, and XPac might come with jersey.
....…..........
Honestly the ONLY thing that was decently informative from this was that they have Edge rights back which certainly means future elites and basics. Can't wait.

I mean, I'm not ashamed to admit that I watch total divas. Mostly to see the Bellas and Eva in spandex.....but the broad hasn't performed one wrestling move on tv and she's getting a figure?!?! If JoJo and Eva are scanned then that DOSENT mean there getting a figure anytime soon I remember something that Mattel team said about them scanning NXT guys that Dosen't mean there getting a figure anytime soon. So I'm assuming no mention of a new Usos two pack? We REALLY need an update on them two and if we do please don't make them 1 per case
