I hate that every other question is "Will we get a _____ figure?" and we get the same "It's possible if they're signed to a deal" answer. There were a lot of great questions asked here that I would love to know the answer to, most of all, questions regarding the state of the line in the UK when it comes to exclusives/distribution and it sucks that they got ignored for the same old boring questions that we get a vague answer to. Yeah, that was pointed out in the thread where people could pose questions and the response was, (and I'm paraphrasing), SHTUP STOOPIDHEADZ I'LL ASK WUT I WUNNA I mean, has Bill ever been asked if someone was going to be made where he responded "Yes! He's going to be in series 51 and this is what he's going to be wearing!" No, that has pretty much never happened. |

Can you name a specific question that someone posted in the submission thread that you feel should have been asked? It would be great to hear what question you think should have been selected. |

To be fair it’s not too many questions you can ask that you can really get a concrete answer on anyways.

Well that was pretty anticlimactic. The terrible questions shouldn't be a shocker, I guess. 60% of the comments on here are "why haven't we gotten a figure of this wrestler who has been featured on tv for 3 months" or "why aren't there more legends?" But I'd much rather see questions with some actual substance asked. Some great reveals and info this weekend, but that Q&A was basically useless. Can you name a specific question of substance that someone posted in the submission thread that you feel should have been asked? It would be great to hear what question you think should have been selected. Oh come off it, there were design questions, favourite figures to work on questions, timeframe questions, there were loads, you cant say from god knows how many pages of questions, the only ones worth asking were the same old thing? |

I'm blaming the people that keep asking the same questions and those that click the like button. |

I’m curious.(this isn’t me trying to attack you) I just now watched bits and pieces of the Q&A. People are still asking questions that they should already know the answer to. Already know they can’t make people who are not under a deal. |

I’m curious.(this isn’t me trying to attack you) I'm not seeing the original thread where people were asking questions, so not sure if any of these were asked. But some topics I'd be interested in hearing more on off the top of my head: -it feels like we're seeing more softgoods produced in the line (multiple shirts in the SS Hardy, the Shield set, etc). Has something changed on that front? A couple years ago Bill had said that the price on softgoods had gone up significantly. -the first 2 EM sets had two figures, while the next 3 have had 3. Is there a set formula we'll see moving forward, or will it fluctuate? -the WWE line was one of the top selling lines of 2017 - have strong sales had any impact on design budgets, willingness of WWE to sign requested Legends, etc. -would Mattel consider signing performers directly, and if not is that a corporate decision or a WWE request? -are price increases planned in the basic or elite lines? -will we see non-suited or female BAF figures The questions selected were popular and common questions - I don't fault RSC for selecting them. And even if asked, there's no guarantee other questions would have gotten any more detailed answers. The question on the impact of TRU closing was a great question, and the answer given had nothing to do with the question. We got a lot of great info between the panel, RSC Q&A and the Instagram Q&A. But I think some here get frustrated seeing the same questions over and over, knowing what the standard response will be. Yes, if the talent is getting regular screen time they will have a figure coming. No, they will not come out 3 months after their debut. It'll take at least a year. Yes, they will consider making any Legend under contract, but Wrestler X isn't under a deal right now. But that's just my two cents. |

The Q&A felt anticlimactic. I felt like I know the same amount going in then coming out. Some questions where the answer was to look at the panel should be avoided. I would love to see more people from the team like one for the design (Bill), distribution, etc. Bill and Rob were from the same thing pretty much so having both didn’t add to it.

Yes, they will consider making any Legend under contract, but Wrestler X isn't under a deal right now. But that's just my two cents. I glanced through your recent posts and didn't see any post in the Q&A submission thread. In the future why don't you submit the questions you'd like to see asked!  As far as the questions you just posted here... I believe we asked about Soft Goods in a Q&A not too long ago. Epic Moments seems to not have a formula to me, just what makes sense for the moment but I agree with you that's a good question and we might have selected it if it was submitted by you or another WF member. We asked something along those lines with the TRU question which I think is one of the biggest things to impact the industry. As is the case with the question you proposed or the one we asked about the TRU fallout, the design team is not going to reveal confidential information about budgets. As far as signing talents they have said in the past that they request who they want from WWE but it's up to WWE to sign them. My guess is WWE is being less vigilant about signing legends than they were last year since WWE is doing extremely well overall as a company. They have said in prior Q&A's that WWE has to sign the Legends. Design team wouldn't know the answer to this. Decent question but we haven't heard anything about new BAF in awhile. I also think we asked Bill about this in the last Q&A. |

We cannot ask distribution questions to the design team, they are not involved in it at all. It said that in the Q&A submission post. That's understandable but I'm sure they'd have some sort of insight into why the UK gets forgotten about when it comes to so many different waves. |

I thought questions that would’ve been revealed during reveals at SDCC wouldn’t be ask. Will we see more people with interchangeable heads was clearly answered during the panel reveals. Can we see more than one legend in an elite series was clearly already answered since Dude Love and Sting are in the same series.

Also it was just announced so we thought Bill might have more to elaborate on it than what was said at the panel. |

That response to the basic series 100 sounds promising hope to hear more about that in the future! Funny response from Bill to Zack Ryders Edge heads request. I also like they are talking more about the stage and referee gives me a little more hope about those things. I know it wasn't asked nor shown at SDCC but really I hope to know what will happen to the Paul Ellering figure from WM axxess. I hope it's just been delayed and not cancelled.

Here’s another good question.
“Out of the hundreds of Triple H figures you have designed, why have you skipped over late 99-2001 with the hHh trunks that represents his first WWE title run?”
Follow up that doesn’t get asked because Noelle has zero insight in this. “You previously stated that you didn’t have a place in the line but put a street gear version in the BoAE set. What about a Wrestlemania, Summerslam, SvS, RR Heritage set as he wore them at all events through the year???”
