WM35 Axxess Mattel WWE Post: Bill Miekina Mattel Q&A Video!

Pumped for quite a few of these esp the Shinsuke and Bret Hart ultimates! Nice showing Bill!

Yes! Great post as I was eye balling that Drew just thinking about scalping his hair off to place it on a Taker. Haha

Really love the elite Jeff they previewed. Those Goldbergs imo are trash, they’re painted over trunks and still have the same scan mattel tried to pass for a 2017 and 90s Goldberg. Also sucks that Seth isn’t going to be in his night king attire and instead a repaint that’s going to shelf warm :/ seems like I’ll be saving more money

I still have to find the NXT one! It looks so better. It's an elite too.

I love see new figures. That Ricochet and Ali looks dope but they need to correct Lashley. It’s a easy fix I’d just rather not have to.

Wow, they somehow managed to get all my wants shown except for Elites if Heavy Machienry and Buddy Murphy.


Well done Mattel!

Looks like Goldberg's contract might be ending soon. They're just knocking 'em out right away. Wouldn't be surprised to see an Elite of some sort at SDCC.

Really strong showing with some genuine surprises.

Wow, Don Muraco. Nobody saw that coming! Wish they'd do that Razor gear in Elite. That's the one with the the shiny silver pattern. It's very detailed, so I understand why they didn't do it here, but still. Drew's hair strands is 100% what that NXT figure needed. I love how they pulled this off! Kinda wish the Ultimate Bret had one of his heads like this. Ultimate Bret, now that I brought it up, is a beautiful figure! I'm definitely spending the extra cash to get him. Very excited to see how Ali and Gargano turn out! I didn't expect to see so much new stuff at Axxess.

Some criticisms: Gorilla Monsoon? Awesome edition! Weird hair color and Mattel's signature lankiness? Not good. This might be our only Gorilla, please try and make him look bulkier. This figure looks how he looked when he was sick in '99 more than his prime. Cool to see AJ in neon green so soon, but that dreaded bulky shirt is back. You made Seth's tight vests look good, just make a new soft plastic shirt like that and it'd be fine. Doesn't have to be cloth to look good, though that is preferable. Another small complaint: please reevaluate how you do Strowman's pants - they don't look anything like this, and nearly all of his figures have these pants or something similar.

They really nailed Miz's whole entrance look here. That figure looks really good. RETRO DIESEL! Very happy for anyone who has always wanted that figure. Ultimate Deletion Bray Wyatt looks really cool. I like the surveillance motif of the packaging, too. '99 Big Show? Hell yeah! I've been wanting this particular look for him. I wonder if they'll give him the red Big Show lettering shirt (likely, the promo pictures of him as champ have him wearing this), or if they'll go with the Big Show shirt with his face wedged inside the letters? That's the infamous snafu Jakks made where they used Al Snow's face instead of Big Shows when recreating the shirt. Hell, maybe he'll have both! That would be cool.

Wants:
-Jeff Hardy
-Rollins (both)
-Bálor
-McIntyre
-Styles
-Ricochet
-Mustafa
-The Rock
-The Miz
-Ciampa
-Adam Cole baybay
-Gargano

If I had the space and the money I'd get that in a heart beat for my Hasbro and Retro figures lol. At the very least I hope Jeremy/Wicked Cool Toys makes the cardboard one to go along with the other stages and crowd pieces. I hear Ryder and Hawkins on their podcast saying at Toy Fair they were asking him to make that and other classic stages too.
