Clearing things up. Certain figures discussed in this Q&A (FB Jericho, Windham) are currently not things I am presently working on. However I do read these boards pretty regularly and try to get a pulse of what the hardest of the hardcore collector base wants. I also design the line to appeal to other audience bases. I think that is why the Mattel WWE line has been so successful so far is that its consumer base is so varied. That also means it is much understandably easier to get a John Cena into the line than a Barry Windham. It took me a long time to find the slots necessary to release LOD versions of Hawk and Animal in the same wave. So please be patient and do not complain when you do not see a FB Jericho at Walmart in 6 months. Also, Summer Rae will most likely be middle of 2015 at the earliest. We are presently working on tooling her figure. Thanks MDT Razor Ramon needs tall boots...just saying. Will Lex Luger have other figures...short hair, ponytail? Whats the hold up on Jim Anvil? Thanks

I would love green Million Dollar Man or white with purple trim but I wonder if a cloth green ring suit could fit in a Elite budget. Possibly but not sure, they would have to skimp elsewhere. The white suit came in before he created his own belt, so I think they could include that suit and leave out the belt. Do it as a one-piece jumpsuit like Honky's and it should fit. Whats the hold up on Jim Anvil? I think with Anvil it might be down to the crackalack: Perhaps there's always the worry that he's going to do something really bad by the time a figure comes out.

Dame shame, I didnt know it was that bad...but to be honest It looks like he has a medical condition...like Parkinson's or something.

Totally get it'll be Q3 or 4 2015 at the soonest, just make sure the Elite Flashback Y2J is from WM19...can't stress that enough! lol

Ok my comments.... 1. The Interviewer that works for ringside, is HOT! In an awkward way. 2. I don't every buy flashbacks, but if there was an American Badass taker and/Y2J I would totally buy it. 3. They could have totally switched Summer Rae back to her NXT attire, or at least gave her 2 figures. One in a battle pack with Fandango, and the other in a single basic with her NXT attire. Oh well, she better be ready before Christmas. 4. I want the mattel design job , he is kind of awkward when answering questions.

Wow, that was upsetting to watch, hopefully he recovers for his own good . Would really love to own his figure too. The Q&A was great, finally many questions that's been asked plenty of times been answered . Some questions were self explanatory but that's ok. Thank you Bill !

Glad to see so many ECW questions, hopefully that lights a fire under their butt to get some signed Although I think that confirms what we figured with Raven. Shame, he'd be an awesome figure.

How did no one ask about getting Sarge or Snuka in their more popular attires? That's something we've been clamoring for for years.

Absolute credit given to the Mattel team for not only an exceptional Comic Con showing but fantastic Q&A too. Bill answered the questions straight on without any fuss and so many more than we seem to have had answered in the past. Lots of great things to look forward to.
My highlights are definitely the strong possibility of inverted kane and stephanie who is definitely on the way.

So they didn't ask about Paul Bearer, that was my only disappointment otherwise the questions were pretty decent. Wish RSC didn't include the ones they mentioned in the panel itself, but hey, still awesome they asked questions for us, always a plus, so thank you RSC.
Just curious if Paul will ever surface here in the US.

I wonder who he's considering putting the classic tag belts with? What classic tag champ flashbacks are plausible ? It wouldn't be money inc. as he said no Dibiase for a while..... Bill seemed like he wasn't 100% about the Acolytes, but at the same time he seemed to enjoy the idea of them :-) HVMMONSThat reference picture is Y2J at WMX8

Bill, we don't plan on seeing anything at Walmart! THEY NEVER STOCK ANYTHING!
Keep up the amazing work. Can't wait to buy pretty much every elite shown.
Can anyone give me some Rocky news?!? I haven't had time to read all comments.
