Bobby Heenan and Jimmy Hart BAFs! Thank you, thank you, thank you! It's great to hear that the Flashbacks are "extremely successful" - and Bill mentioned a few times about looking to expand the Flashback offerings for 2015... Also I think we need more clamoring about flashback million dollar man! Why is he of less importance than so many at this time? Well we have had an awesome Entrance Greats M$M - I know he wasn't an Elite, but as he's in the suit, you can't tell one way or another. Plus, we've recently had a SummerSlam Heritage one too, so I don't think a Flashback is urgent, especially over new/first-timers. I would like to see one eventually though...

Rob7274 big show and heenan? I could see too cool as flashbacks maybe but I hope not... Who else were tag champs from 88-2003 I'm sure there's lots of possibilities I hope it's Natural Disasters or Hart Foundation First post. Woo! Anyway, the following were World Tag Team Champions between 1985 & 2002: Andre & Haku, Hart Foundation, Bulldogs, Money Inc, HBK & Diesel, Headshrinkers, Headbangers, Pre-DX Outlaws, X-Pac & Inverted Kane, APA, Hardyz & Dudleyz (both not possible), Too Cool, Edge & Christian, Undertaker & Kane, Billy & Chuck, Un-Americans, '01 Jericho & The Rock, & Edge & Hulk Hogan. However one thing I'd like to point out, which I don't think anyone's ever mentioned, is there were TWO Versions of the tag titles. The gold/silver block logo ones we got with Arn/Tully, and the stretch logo version Edge & Christian held.

Why so long until Sting? The prototype looked like it was pretty far along.

Really?! With some of these questions like Ryno and D Lo? Ask about Paul Bearer's status or surfer Sting, not TNA talent. Off my soap box...great hearing from Bill as he's always upfront, as much as he can be, with the consumer. Super excited about Barry Windham, Jimmy Hart, and The Brain! NXT sprinkled into basics is a very good concept! Hat's off to Mattel! I asked 3 separate questions 1 about Windham, 1 about Heenan & Hart and another about Surfer Sting...They skipped the Sting question

Every single wrestler on the roster except for Emma has been been made or been announced.

It's heartbreaking that bill dosent know the status of Ron Simmons. Any incarnation of him in FB form is a must

Anybody else think the BAF of heenan/hart after the initial collector craze, is gonna just rot on the TRU pegs? They better pack that set with absurdly detailed and popular figures or it's going NOWHERE... the heyman set won't even move and everybody loves heyman!

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

Ugh So many question about flashbacks... Good to hear that there is a Stephanie McMahon and Summer Rae in the works. Disappointed Summer will be already out dated I much prefer the NXT attire. Hoppefully the second part will have less flashbacks questions and more current roster questions.

WE are "the hardest of the hardcore collectors" on these boards! Take my pulse bill anytime. Mdt is doing a fantastic job with the figures. The other part that has made flashbacks so successful is that the figure selection decisions seem to be including us. Wcw content is a great part of wwe network. Keep including figures from there please No complaints except, everybody's got a price and everyone's gonna pay, but the million dollar man, needs more respect. And by that I mean elite with suit and belt dammit

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.

Ok so Summer Rae 2014-2015 early Sting -late 2015 No Goldberg Rhyno d Lo Dude Love Nxt talent will be in basic even if not on Raw or SDBarry windham will be made sometime That's the gist of it - Jericho top of the list for Flashbacks
- Classic Tag Titles strong possibility
- Bobby the Brain Hennan and Jimmy Hart build a figures
That's pretty much what I got out of it.
Sounds COOL!
