With the Epic Moments Ultimate Deletion set being cancelled is there a chance of still getting the figures and accessories in another set or line?

Aside from any "When are we getting (Insert wrestler/title belt here)" questions, I have some general inquiries:
Assuming the Survivor Series wave is no longer Walmart exclusive, why not make it a part of the regular Elite line like how E68 was a SummerSlam centric series?
With Andrade Cien Almas as a Ringside exclusive, what will become of Roderick Strong and Titus O Neal and the NXT Elite line in general? Will they find a spot in the regular lineup?
With a recent slew of former WWE talent coming back for backstage/creative positions, are there any chances for figures to be made of them I.E. The Hurricane, Michael PS Hayes/Dok Hendrix, Eric Bischoff, etc.?
Have the store exclusive and chase variant concepts been working as well as you hoped and if so, will they continue in lieu of dedicated series? Could both Walmart and Target get an exclusive each like E69?

You mentioned before that after Dude Love, Sherri was the next person that you couldn’t ever get into a lineup. Now that she’s been released is there a story to tell about why she was so hard to find a spot for? Since she apparently sold well are there plans for another and if so then what attire do you think you’ll have her in?

In last year's Q&A it was said that referee figures are something you’d like to do but can’t because they aren’t signed to deals. Could we get a figure of a referee with a generic head sculpt that isn’t intended to look like any referee in particular like we saw in the WCW and WWF lines in the late 90’s?
How come some of the most requested attires by collectors over the last 9 years have been ignored by Mattel for example hHh Triple H? Knowing the demand for that attire, why was the decision made to base the Best of Attitude Era Triple H off the post WM 14 Raw rather than this more iconic look?
How come certain Flashbacks such as Bret Hart are rarely ever seen in the main Elite line? Is it a conscious decision to keep certain wrestlers out of the line and only release them as exclusives? Using Bret as an example, how come we have only ever seen him in the main line once out of 60+ series while every other Elite has been an exclusive of some kind?
Are gimmick matches like Hell in a Cell, Steel Cages and the Elimination Chamber in the works for the Main Event Rings or will you stick with only releasing them as smaller playlets with basic rings?
With the popularity of the Retro line, are there any other wrestling figure lines from the past that you would like to recreate with your own personal touch such as BCA?

Retro distribution: what can we expect to see on the shelves in the near future? Will any older sets we've had trouble finding (like series 5 and 6) end up at discount retailers if the focus is on the newest series?

Shouldn't we be asking 1 question per reply? Hasn't that always been the way? No, that's not mandatory. Ask as many questions as you like about the Mattel WWE line. Good luck to whomever has to sort through this crap pile. Aren’t individual post replies not supposed to be allowed in these threads? Shouldn’t questions be one per post so other members can “like” them? I'll do it. I think I've removed all of the replies and off-topic conversation in this thread. There really isn't a need for it now that we're closing in on SDCC. For those that need a reminder of the rules for these type of Q&A threads, please revisit Jay's post from WrestleMania Axxess: WrestleMania Mattel Q&A Coming Soon!!!Use this thread to ask Mattel your WWE Figure line questions! We will ask the Mattel design team your questions this weekend at WrestleMania!If you like another posters Mattel Design Team questions, give the post thumbs up! Thumbs up totals will be taken into consideration when the questions are being selected for Mattel Design Team!*** Special Note: Please don't reply to or discuss a question in this thread. No off topic or spam replies. Only submit questions. Please do not ask distribution questions, the design team does not handle that. ***
Questions can also be submitted on Ringside FB & Instagram pages. Thank you! Back to the topic at hand... What of all the figures that you've designed in the past year was the most time-consuming for you? And would you mind explaining the process that went into making it? Thanks.

Any way to get more Legends tag teams (Steiners, Dream Team, Killer Bees, Bulldogs, Doom, Rock N Roll Express)?
Is there any prioritization to completing teams/factions (i.e. Haku for Colossal Connection; Anvil for 97 Hart Foundation; Stunning Steve Austin for Dangerous Alliance; Godfather and Mark Henry for Nation)?
Could NWA/WCW figures get into the RetroFest line or does that clash with branding? Be a nice way to get an 86 Barry Windham and 88 Lex Luger.

Dear Bill,
Since you're having a hard time getting so many legends from the 80s, why not concentrate on getting some 70s guys out like Jakks managed. The likes of Superstar Billy Graham, Pedro Morales, Bob Backlund from his first title run with robe and green belt? Haystacks Calhoun, Bobo Brazil, Ivan Putski, are just some of the names from that era that WWE would likely have under legends deals.

Is there a reason why you haven't made Stunning Steve Austin yet?

When you decided to put the Men's NXT title with Shayna Baszler did you think no one would notice?

Can we at least get an updated, suited Graves - with all neck tats, and BOTH hand tats this time? I'll settle for a basic, I'm not proud.

Can you produce a video of concept to final production for an action figure to show the process?

Chances of a Mike Kanellis elite, perhaps in his debut attire? I just hate his current look, he looks like a crackhead now which is ironic considering he's clean now.

Will Wicked Cool Toys be there? Would Mattel know what they're working on? If so, chances of an NXT Pop-Up Stage like the Raw and SmackDown ones?

Are the Superstars Dolls done or what? Cause I was waiting for the new 5 pack. Y’all could still do Nia, Mandy, Ruby, Kairi and Ember.
