Nice. He should tell us why they sometimes make cloth shirts and sometimes rubber. Rubber sucks Mattel.

Good News
- Flashback Y2J seems to be in the works due to high demand. - Classic Tag Belts seem to be getting re-released due to high demand.
Bad News
- No ABA Undertaker anytime (im not even sure soon is the right word)
I also might be sounding off here but I wasn't particularly a fan of the way he kept saying that "he" had no interest in making certain guys or "he" wanted others to be made first. Is it more about putting out what he wants or what we will buy?

WHEN WILL WE SEE UPDATED BELLAS ...do we NEED updated Bellas? I'd much rather have more first-time Divas... Nice. He should tell us why they sometimes make cloth shirts and sometimes rubber. Rubber sucks Mattel. ...it really doesn't - especially when shirts/tank-tops are meant to be skin-tight (like on The Rock's figures and the DM Hogan figure).

Bad News - No ABA Undertaker anytime (im not even sure soon is the right word) Agreed great news about Jericho and the Tag belts. But I think the ABA Undertaker thing is also good news. He said there were other Undertaker options that would be a better choice. Hopefully, he's considering these two: - Wrestlemania 9 Undertaker (debut grey attire) with coat & tie, hat and crow.
- Wrestlemania 14 Undertaker (vs. Kane) with entrance attire.

Ah see I didn't hear it that way, I'm not sure its what you're thinking. I heard him say the "other options" comment a few times in regards to other questions too. I took it as there are other wrestler options out there other than another Undertaker. I'd get a Mania 14 Taker, Mania 9 probably not, the Mania 11/12 one we got was good enough for me for that era Taker.

I would bet money the next flashback Taker is a WrestleMania 14 version. And I would spend money to buy two

I'm extremely happy about the inverted Kane elite and hopefully Flashback Jericho is becoming a reality.

I think the easiest way to Sell Flashbacks that may not be Top Buys is to include them in BAF sets. for elite. Brutus the Barber Beefcake, Koko B Ware, The Missing Link, Barry Windham and you get Bobby heenan. Psycho Sid, Tito Santana, Big John Studd, and Rick Martel and you get Jimmy Hart. It would help sell the Less Collector Friendly Flashbacks

I went back and watched that question again to try and figure it out. These are his words: I still think he's talking about attires for Undertaker since he uses the phrase "other ones" instead of "other guys" or "other flashbacks." Atleast that's what I'm hoping because you can never have enough Undertaker figs.

Great questions for the most part but why do people ask if there are upcoming current wrestlers with TV time? Ofcourse Ziggler and Ryback are going to keep getting figures.
Sounds like Stephanie is in the works but approval is taking the longest. I can't wait for 2015, looks like Legends might come back or something.

Ugh. Undertaker isn't someone I'd go nuts over, but there's never too many Undertaker's. That kind of annoys me. ABA Undertaker is a MUST HAVE. Great example: I'd rather buy an ABA Undertaker than the upcoming concert Rock in E31. To me, concert Rock seems pointless. It'd be easier to just make a custom.
Remember that video where RSC said there will NEVER be a flashback Jericho? Now there's a good possibility he'll be included. Hopefully in the Elite line, even better in the Defining Moments line, and surely not in the basic line. We just have to BOLIEVE!

One of the better Q&As so far! Great news about Heenan and Hart. Buy these people so we can get more managers!!
I'm very glad to hear Bill speak on the greatness of Barry Windham. Curious on how we could get the classic tag belts. Hart Foundation? British Bulldogs?
Always good to hear about more Flashbacks.
Few not as awesome notes: -uncertainty of Ron Simmons' contract. I need 92 WCW era champ version!! -Still need an Elite DiBiase. We've only gotten two basics...

Some pretty cool info today. Looks like they are really trying to increase the number of flashbacks we see. Would love it to become its own line.

I don't think mattel should start up the legends line again if they use the same packaging because imo the packaging they used for the legends series was dull and boring and really made me refrain from buying them. they should make the boxes more like the elite boxes or at least stand out more with different colors and thats coming from a loose collector.

I thought the Legends packaging was fantastic - I loved the colour of it and the awesome picture we had of the wrestler. I agree though - any new line should not be called Legends or have similar packaging... it should be something completely new and fresh.

Nice. He should tell us why they sometimes make cloth shirts and sometimes rubber. Rubber sucks Mattel. Because of the budget. Now you know and we don't have to waste his time.

Meh, not like he was gonna respond anyway. I don't get it, if it's budget then why did RSE Punk get a plastic shirt? He didn't have as many tats and he didn't have a super detailed attire.
