What?
Thanks for offering pal. Two small questions:
1. We've got Dusty and Magnum, are any more NWA era figures in the works like Midnights, Nikita, Rock n Rolls?
2. Long-winded second one, but I'm very curious on this one. When a set like the Horsemen 4-pack has a tough time selling, does Mattel consider fans didn't buy it because the Barry Windham figure wasn't accurate for that era (90 look instead of the more 84-88 look he had at his career peak)and didn't want the "wrong" Windham or does Mattel just think people didn't want the set and Barry wasn't enough of a draw for the set?
Thanks again!

Thanks again! What would even make you think that it had anything to do with Barry? He was the only ftitl guy but flair had a new scan and ran and Tully were produced in extremely limited quantities prior to that. Any of those things could have been a draw too and yet it still sold poorly. |

@shockwayne - I would really like to hear if they have any plans to fill in some holes from the Hasbro line with wrestlers that realistically could have made it in the original. It would be absolutely incredible to see figures like Tugboat, Diesel, Jerry Lawler, Made in the USA Lex Luger, Hart Foundation Neidhart, a circa 1992-93 ring gear Savage, etc., etc. in the line. I hope this gets asked, Bill said he has a complete set of Hasbros, so I imagine he likely wants to see the same stuff made that we do, so it would be interesting to see what characters he wants to cover. I could see a "jumper" Max Moon with a removable jetpack, Mantaur, Aldo Montoya, 1996 HHH, 1987 Ricky Steamboat, a cheaper, better 123 Kid in 2 packs with Razor/Marty/Sparky, etc. |

Any of those things could have been a draw too and yet it still sold poorly. I don't think it sold poorly initially. I think they produced and shipped way too many. If there are even 50 collectors per area/store that will gladly pay $50 for that set, that should be an easy win. But when you send each store 200 sets, you can't give them away because the target audience already has theirs. |

Can you pleast ask Bill if he is aware of the scale discrepancies some figures have between their Basics and Elites such as b55 and b62 Sting's being noticeably shorter than the 2 DM versions. Same with HTM. And if so is he trying to correct it going forward? And can you also ask about why the flesh is being painted on some of the singlet tops? Because some are still molded in flesh colored plastic. E43 Bret is cast in black with the flesh painted yet the Anvil is cast in flesh colored plastic and painted black. Also can you thank him for me for getting the GAB Sting and Magnum out to us. Both are dreams come true for me.  |

If you can sneak in one more quick question I'd be fine with a yes or no answer. Are we getting anymore Lita figures?

Ask him if the TNF elite carding is a look to a future line.
Rocky Johnson, HBK, Kevin Owens, and Iron Sheik
Or just ask him if he'll make every HBK in tights
