Why did it seemingly become a necessity for Mattel to release so many figures as exclusives to one retailer or another? Corporate heads may have lobbied for them but inventories for the individual stores always struggle to keep stocks up-to-date to properly carry the lines. Does it have anything to do with some kind of push to produce as many figures as possible before the sunset of the Mattel license?
Can you share some insight concerning the decision to release store exclusive figures alongside the main Elite lines, aside from, "getting them out for collectors." Was this a purposeful plan to provide an incentive for stores to better stock and sort out their inventories? And do you expect that result with this model?
Why choose to short pack figures that are part of a Build series, specifically referring to the FB Elite Harley Race? If you need all of a certain series to complete a build, wouldn't the fig overpacked (Austin) that might end up sitting on the shelves cause delays in new shipments?
Are there any plans to produce any figures or sets that would include a Raw Roulette wheel or an Anonymous Raw GM laptop?
With the recent closures and/or struggles of brick-and-mortar retail giants and major customers of Mattel products, are you still comfortable with your current business model or do you seek to tweak your focus to take further advantage of the online market?
If you can answer this, what effects will US customers feel if those currently running the US Gov't decide to put tariffs on toy shipments from China? Would it mean figures will be that much harder to find because stores wouldn't order as much? Or would it likely mean an increase in price?

Mattel, can you make me figures of: Sable The Kat Mighty Molly Jacqueline Val Venis Hollywood Hogan Jeff Jarrett Vampiro Juventud Guerrera Konnan Stacy Keibler Haku Debra Perry Saturn Thanks in advance, Sting. In all honesty I’d like to ask Mattel if Hollywood Hogan will be made in the near future. In addition to those could we have
Outback Jack Stan Lane Bobby Eaton Dennis Condrey Jim Cornette(if he isn't stuck in a deal with the other guys) Kimberly Page Molly Holly as Miss Madness or Mona Brother Love

-How many Epic Moments flashbacks are coming in 2019? In 2018 only 1 of the 5 was a flashback -Can we expect any more WCW belts that we haven't seen? -Are you hoping to do any offbeat gimmicks like Shark or Red Rooster in the near future? -Will Fan Central continue past wave 2? Will the fan vote return? -Is there anyone recently signed to a deal that you are excited to get to work on? -Going forward will the Walmart Flashback line emphasize build a figure or build a set more?

Question for MDT
Before Goldberg's DM release, it was stated that he would have a unique torso. Obviously that didn't happen. What changed and why? Also, does this mold exist and if so, will we see it in the near future? Or was it scrapped entirely?

It's getting increasingly harder to think of Qs for these events. But here we go :
What are the chances of another D Lo Brown figure anytime soon?
Will we be getting more Matt and Jeff Hardy elites soon?
Why haven't we got a Jeff Jarrett figure yet ?
Any chances of a Mick Foley figure circa 00-04 maybe Wrestlemania 2000 with green vest
Are new RVD figures possible? There are so many attires yet to make
Kurt Angle figures are great so far. Can we expect more elites ? He's had a ton of different great attires
Will we get a Brian Christopher to go with Scotty and Rikishi?
Another Eddie elite in his singles attire from 03-05 would be great. Any plans ?
Will we get new singles attire Johnny Gargano and Tomasso Ciampa figures soon?

I’m pretty sure Bill mentioned in the comic con q/a that, the response to the basic articulation change was pretty negative, and they were looking into that....Any updates on this?

How did the HOC Ciampa figure end up so undersized? Was it a design or production error?
