also on the Q&A video
No more figure reveals for today/this weekend-
Thats a shame. I was hoping for maybe a surprise or two left over...just because the con is a weekend event not just a day
Maybe the Mattel guys could be the inspiration for generic referees someday-
Hmmm, this is interesting. I mean I'd like a "generic" referee I guess, but realistically if you're making a WWE ref figure and it's not Lil Naitch, whats the point? I dont understand why Vince is so petty and cheap with refs.
It's best to ask Bill questions about torso changes since that is design-related-
now we know what to do next comiccon Q&A
They'd love to do more RVD figures, but he's not currently signed to a Legends deal-
This is a damn shame. We all WANT more RVD figures, guy had some of the coolest attires ever. I hope this changes soon.
They have the rights to King Mabel/Viscera/Big Daddy V; if they can find the space for them and as long as he remains on contract long enough-
1 down, 2 to go. The guy is signed there's no reason for them to not "find space". They released all
ing 3 of Tugboat's gimmicks at nearly the same time.
Brother Love? Would be fantastic. Fingers crossed that they will get the rights to him-
They have to at this point. Guy is more over now than almost ever, people would buy the hell out of it. And clearly Vince & Bruce are on good terms again with the Network thing.
No announcement yet for the Fan Central line, but it does have a home and will be revealed shortly-
Why wouldn't the announce it at the biggest toy show of the
ing year when the most eyes are on the product? You'd think making wrestling action figures is like working for MI6. I don't even think the damn FBI is this "secretive" when it comes to things
Dude Love story will be told by Bill (he promises), but he's waiting to see it 100% on store shelves first-
I really wanna know what the
is the deal with this figure.
Avalanche/Golga? As long as they have the rights, they will explore those options-
I'm good. We have really covered Earthquake perfectly. They say they "need space" for Viscera, but they'll make space for Avalanche? ffs. There are like 500 other guys I'd rather have. And if you don't have Kurrgan signed to make as an "Oddity" then why would you ever make Golga? Whom, if im not mistaken, was never even said to be John Tenta anyway
Haku? They'd love to get one out, but he's not under contract-
Again, why are they all afraid of money??? Haku isnt on that concussion thing is he? I need a Mattel Elite King Haku & Meng in my life
They heard the concern voiced about the Entrance Greats music boxes, so the cost of the stands will now go into something else-
Bravo. EG's were a novelty, an interesting idea but if you're literally just releasing a regular Flashback Elite with a music box....and charging MORE for it, it's a dumb idea.
Although specific details are not given, it is said that the Ultimate Edition line will be worth your money more than the Entrance Greats-
Translation: $35 line with as much "cloth" and customization as those Storm Hogan's
They are lifelong fans of Legends, so they will put out as many as possible-
But then "if we have space for the other 2 gimmicks of Nelson Frazier"
More to come of Goldberg's signature WCW and WWE looks-
Good. Give me the black/white Badd Blood WWE attire and maybe some other kind of WCW look with one of those cloth Goldberg shirts
Jeff Hardy figures are going to keep coming-
And the sky is blue.
They don't have rights to Rick Martel, but they would do some more if they get his rights back-
This sucks. I want Strike Force.
How far in advance do they plan? They are planning as far ahead as 2020 now (based on their production schedule) with some wiggle room in case characters get hot on TV-
2 years out? damn, thats surprising. I really hope they sign another extension than considering this deal runs out in 2021....
They can do more Vaders; his death left them brokenhearted, and they think he deserves at least one more; Steve thinks he may be the greatest big man of all-time-
I agree Vader's death sucked. But how many more Vader's do we need? We literally got him in the only 2 prominent looks he ever had. I mean maybe the reverse red/black WWE look, but still. Vader is the least of my priorities as a collector now.
Stay tuned for more Elites to come with multiple heads; there are some surprises in store-
This kind of thing just doesn't interest me in the least. I dont need all these interchangeable parts. I want good accessories that go with the character!
They always try to get at least one Elite Undertaker in the line each year-
And we still have a lot of memorable looks to go.
Greg The Hammer Valentine is not available to them, but they'd love to do one in his classic robe and a Rhythm & Blues version to go with the RetroFest HTM-
This surprises me. Valentine was over AF, and has a pretty big following from that era. He's really one of the last more well known names to not have a Flashback. I wonder what is truly holding up the deal
Superstar Billy Graham? He is available to them and they are trying to make it happen; he was a colorful character, big influencer in his time-
This surprises me that he's available but they are just "trying"....I really want to know what goes on behind the scenes with this stuff
No Dynamite Kid/Hercules Hernandez/ - they'll put requests in to see if they can get them signed-
Hercules, meh. It'd be cool I guess but no real rush here. I would LOVE to see a Dynamite at least 1.
Davey Boy Smith is available to them-
If they get Dynamite we need a Bulldogs version of both. And I'd like to see another long-haired version of Davey, maybe SS '92 with the IC belt
