I just want to know about aba taker, Mabel, Pat Paterson, and red rooster. Taker and Mabel are in the summerslam line next year. Patterson I think will be the Walmart exclusive after Sherri. Did someone confirm this? If so, I think it may mean the Attitude Era line is cancelled too. I thought Taker would be in that line since it's in street clothes. Unless this is a different Taker, which is possible since they've been pumping out a lot of flashbacks for him in the last few years. |

We also have Trish and Lita. Sunny and Chyna aren't going to happen, and Terri is maybe a bit iffy. I don't think Debra's legacy has endured the test of time, and Ivory and Jacqueline barely meant anything even when they were there. Molly Holly isn't worth much without a Hardcore or Crash figure. Who else is there? Sable? Glad that you dont think so? Jacqueline, Ivory, and Sable NEED to be done. They're champions. I see them as more relevant than whatever that red rooster thing is they are putting out. Almost everyone on the roster was a champion at some point in the attitude era. It doesn't mean a whole lot. Sable was the only one who meant anything, and for whatever reason, that deal never gets signed even though her husband is one of the top stars. Maybe Rena doesn't want to draw attention to that era of her life anymore and Brock makes enough money that she doesn't have to sign any merchandising rights to WWE. |

Yet she's the only one of the three that isn't a HOFer. Funny how that works. |

She isn't in the Hall of Fame for the same reason she doesn't have any dolls made by Mattel, did you really not understand that? |

Can’t think of anyone to include ECW titles with? Tag -Dudley Boys TV-Rhino with normal arms/shoulders. Bam Bam Bigelow with the TV Title if he is still under a deal. I have been disappointed to see him only get one elite so far. I’ll be that guy. Bam Bam has 2 elites. Legends and TNF. But I get your point, we need more Bam Bam’s. |

Yeah Bill must never have seen ECW if he can't figure out who to put the ECW Tag and TV Titled with. Plus the fact that they put Terry Funk with a version of the ECW Title that he never held. I'm shocked that he would claim that accuracy is something Mattel cares about. This is the company that puts WCW Cruiserweight and WWF light heavyweight champions with the WWE Cruiserwight Title"
Rhyno could come with the ECW TV Title.
Dudley Boyz could come with the ECW Tag Titles.
Pretty easy solution. And if the Dudley Boyz aren't under deals anymore, which is possible since Bubba works for ROH, D-Von works for WWE, just do a D-Von with both ECW Tag belts. They did a Scotty Too Hotty with NO plans to EVER do a Grandmaster Sexay so why not a Flashback D-Von with no Bubba?

Pleased to hear a Retros question made the list, even if it was just the one it’s still good to hear something positive about that line given all the worrying signs we’ve seen over the length of the line so far. Also exciting to hear him reference the Retro Diesel  Disappointed Sam didn’t follow-up on that one though  |

I wish he would've asked about staining and the walgreens line. And if he will ever interact with us on the forum again. Agreed. I asked about this on the "questions for bill thread", wish we could have heard a response. I saw someone post the Andre the Giant figure without the Giant Machine jumpsuit and the figure was completely ruined. If people on here know how to stop the staining, Mattel should too. This is one question that definitely should have been asked as it needs to be addressed. Several of the recent releases with cloth accessories (Fan Central Heenan, E60 Andre) caused major staining on the figures. The Andre fig that someone posted a pic of was just covered in stains- do these figures not go through any quality control process before they are shipped out?! Anyone know if there is any real solution to removing the stains- I believe in another thread someone mentioned OxyClean?! |

Without saying too much for fear of banning, same lists as the dude that mentioned the Marlena/ Goldust battle pack. Mabel is summerslam 95 taker summerslam 2000 |

So they can't possibly figure out how to budget a new torso for maybe the biggest star in WWE that would be reused over and over for other figures, but managed to tool an almost entirely new head to toe figure for a Nia Jax basic that got used once before tooling another totally new torso for the new Jax basics?

So did he say anything about retros? Don't feel like sitting through it, as I don't care about any other lines.

Anyone know if there is any real solution to removing the stains- I believe in another thread someone mentioned OxyClean?! It is Oxy spot remover[max. strength]. You can get a tube at 5 below. You apply to the stained area then let it sit in direct sunlight for like 2 hours. Wipe off the cream and you will notice the stain being lifted. Probably won't work with a deep stain on the 1st try but should remove small stains quickly. Just keep repeating the process until the stain is gone. |

My Heenan figure arms have multiple stains, luckily the jacket did not stain the torso. As much as I prefer cloth accessories over plastic ones, I am starting to really sour on them as much of the cloth stuff coming out now is causing major stains. |

Where did you see that? That would be an awesome figure. She said she was under a legends deal now. So it's possible. I'd be okay with it. This is very exciting! I’ve always wanted a Terri Runnels action figure. Instead of a battlepacks, they should make her elite with a cloth gold dress where she emulates her Marlena character, then once you take it off, she becomes the She-devil (similar to Sherri emulating 2 different phases in her career in one figure) Or they can do an Elite PMS 2 pack with Jacqueline. |

PMS Battle Pack would be my prefered method of getting it out there just because it will give me two of my biggest wants at once. But it'll more than likely be with goldust. |

Bill needs to make an Elite Diesel in his Diesel Power top. Nobody has done it and we need it. His first Elite should have been in his WMXI attire. I'd like his IYH Good Friends attire with the pulled back hair. Glad he made it a point that we are getting Retro Diesel but it's a believe it when I'm holding it deal still.
I genuinely can't believe we're still not getting any ECW originals. He avoids WCW and ECW questions like they personally offend him.

I would put it on the previous Elite series for his Survivor Series 95 match. |
