In addition to Bill's clarification, just because there may not be a physical figure available to see in the display cabinet, does not mean new, and exciting figures won't be announced as in production.

You are all so damn deserving. You're given an inch, you expect a mile. Here is a guy who doesn't need to waste his time here, that will chime in time to time, and yet you all crap all over him personally and his products. These are toys. Very very affordable toys. These aren't collector grade figures, or scaled models. They are globally distributed, mass produced toys. At $10-$25 a piece, these are an amazing value. Give or take additional accessories from figure to figure, you always get your moneys worth. Yes this is a forum for discussing both positive and negative discussions. But alot of yoh take it from managable complaints to flat out ridiculous claims and grievances. Just shut the ![](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/wfcensored.gif) up. Buy it or pass on it, its that simple. You continually run Bill off. Admins here are at an all time high of banning people for this. This forum is lacking enjoyment because of your constant millineal butt hurtery. YOU AREN'T OWED ANYTHING!!! Actually all forums are beginning to lack enjoyment for me due to posts like the above... All time high amount of mods, yet everyone wants to be one... Zzzzz

maske2g , I hear ya, the amount of brown nosing and sucking up on this forum is wrong. There's nothing wrong with complaining when it's legitimate.

maske2g , I hear ya, the amount of brown nosing and sucking up on this forum is wrong. There's nothing wrong with complaining when it's legitimate. And it goes both ways, but it appears to me (and many, it would seem) that the ability to express one's opinion with a little tact is lacking. Flying off the handle with insults towards a company is far different than explaining constructive criticism.

I'm going to speak my mind on figures like I always have.
Much like that cute little philosophy of "don't like, don't buy" when it comes to what I say, "Don't like, don't read."

I'd like to say this is the year of Fred Ottman. He gets the SDCC Shockmaster exclusive. He gets this killer Tugboat elite and... He gets a Natural Disasters Typhoon release via a two pack with accompanying Earthquake in some kind of retail exclusive! Prove me right at SDCC Bill! You magnificent... you know what!

I don't blame Bill one bit if he is annoyed by this. Modern day technology and information makes any surprises basically impossible to pull off. I get annoyed all the time with returns getting spoiled for me or debuts getting spoiled. I get the frustration completely

Let me clarify a bit as I think I may not have been as clear as I could have been: There will be other figures shown at ComicCon that are Elite, but are not in the Main Elite line (retailer exclusives). What I was hoping to debut from the Elite line has now leaked online, so of course it does throw a wrench into the plans as I do not have a new main Elite line to show, unless first samples on the next waves arrive before the show, which is not guaranteed. If I get samples that I think are good enough to show I will bring. If I get ones that I do not think are good enough to show I will not show them. Hope this clarifies things for everyone. Oh that is good. So back to being excited for SDCC. Maybe we will see Hollywood?

I don't know how many of you would have survived the 70's-80's where the only way you knew what the new lineups were was... 1. You walked into the stores and saw new product on the shelves. 2. The Sears Wish book came out 3. You purchased a big Playset/vehicle like the Millenium Falcon which came with a pamphlet in it.

I miss those days! Don't forget that you could also see pics of new figures and such on the back of the figure cards as well. I don't know about anyone else, but 3 3/4 GI Joes always excited me the most. Looking at the great character artwork for newly released figures on the back of the cards and salivating til you found them! Ah, the good old days!

How come Savage is an elite and Warrior a DM? Maybe they wanted to release them both relatively close together and couldn't find a slot in the elite line for both within a series or two of each other. Especially when you consider L6 Warrior being in E44B, I'd imagine Mattel doesn't want two Warriors in consecutive series. With Cena already slotted for the next DM, that would mean you'd have to wait nearly 6 months to complete the Ultimate Maniacs if they added Savage to that line after him.

Would of made a nice (dare I say epic) two pack though!

But yea, I remember these days very well..... The Macho Man figure looks fantastic, I cannot wait to find it at retail! They found a great way around doing a jacket - very acceptable.

Does this mean no Elite 44B/Legends or whatever we're calling it now? I think we know what to expect from 4/6 of them but think everyone is curious to know what the finished Magnum looks like and the repainted Jericho. That and if any of the re-released may be coming with updated accessories (yellow IC belt).

what does he mean by no new elite reveals this year? does he mean we wont see pics of e45 e46? I'm pretty sure he's talking strictly about actual physical figures. Theyll likely have E43 and 44 on display, then show slides of people from 45, 46 and mayyyybe 47. Last year they had E36-38 on display, along with unpainted E39 Bulldog. In the slide show they had E39 Godfather, E40 Zayn and E41 Balor to name a few.

Would of made a nice (dare I say epic) two pack though! Two packs are limited to the 4 K-Marts that are still in existence, Amazon, and RSC. Maybe they wanted a wider release and not limit it to an exclusive. Maybe there wasn't enough within the budget of two packs to give us everything we got with Warrior and Savage. Maybe Farooq and Rock was a one off experiment to see how the series would do with no immediate plans to make it an ongoing series.
