Re. The 80s figures, I think mattel got burnt on the legends line which was by all accounts a disaster so you can't blame them for not going all in on the legends now

While I don't like the lack of Surfer Stings, I think the waste of the last two or three releases is a bigger crime. The basic that was released in the two pack with Undertaker was miss imo. Even if they were going for a light vs dark theme(classic Mattel overthinking), there were better options than the one they released. I wasn't a big fan of that basic black & orange Sting either. Mostly because of the hair, but the color combo was good. The Elite 62 Sting should have been from Beach Blast '92. That pink Sting is probably the most requested surfer Sting figure, but Bill admittedly wanted to make the Sting from the Great American Bash '91, so that's the figure we got. The Elite 62 Sting is a good figure, it just wasn't a highly requested attire.

Why does the right colour of the NA title have to be a running change? How about just making sure you get it right the first time? Referencing pictures isn't rocket science.

I’m just happy some of these answers weren’t corporate answers or “maybe, we’ll see.” Some questions imo, were useless though and better ones could of been chosen. I am really happy to know that we’re getting another DDP. Hopefully, this time it’s the one everyone wants. -new snarling/straight faced scan -jeans -rib tape -maybe if the budget fits a sleeveless shirt or a vest would be fine Watch it be the stalker ddp.😀😀 I could honestly see Mattel doing that :/ We still haven’t got our ponytail Luger and they have the molds for it.

Thats good they are trying to get King Harley out again. Hopefully he can be slotted into a regular elite wave slot and not be a chase figure. Bummer about no legends deal for Jarrett but oh well.

Steve is still posting more answers on Instagram. He said the HBK 100 head will be used on future figures and there are 1st time in the line flashbacks in the works that haven't been shown. War Raiders also seem to be forthcoming.

Hall after Hall with one Razor while sting got release after release in crow/nwo and one surfer You're right on with Razor. Ridiculous that we have one. (I know they made a street clothes Razor too.) It has to be because they can put out Sting and Hall cheaper in black attire than making Surfer Sting and Razor with more colors. Mattel's favorite color for tights is black, see the retro line for proof of that.

Then call him Roddy Strong. There's only 1 Roddy. Roderick Strong sounds better than Roddy Strong anyway. I can’t wait for the new roddy figure You'll be waiting awhile, afaik none are in the works.

Razor has two basics also. The B97 and a WM Heritage (?) both are black trunks though.

I love that AFA actually gets to the point and answers the question about Johnny's kickpads instead of beating round the bastard bush like Bill.

Nice to see Harley might get re-released, but what about the rest of the damn line? Spending $300 on eBay for Jake and Steamboat is hardly ideal.

More Qs and As Why don't WWE figures have nipples?I actually don't know why! Maybe I'll tell that story sometime didn't (down) the road. Lol! You gonna be at Power-Con?We will be at @thepowercon supporting Masters of the WWE Universe, MOTU Origins and She-Ra. I'll be there both days. Is Gorilla coming with two torsos? Render shows a different shirt and tie torso.Gorilla will be similar to the Flashback Mean Gene Favorite current wrestler?I love everything @wwemaverick and @ronkillings1 are currently doing with the 24/7 Title. So entertaining. Are there Viking Raiders in the works?Huss! Huss! Are Heavy Machinery in the works?They'd certainly make fun figs any plans for a elite toni storm or rhea ripley?Figs of them would be sick! #WWEEliteSquad member yesreallyrob is a big fan of their's as well. While there's really nothing to announce, I'd personally love to add them to my collection. Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling??OMG...I wish If you could would you make a Mantaur figure?100% yes I would! Lol! Local Question: Is Mattel aware of how hard it is to find Walmart exclusives in Los Angeles?The team is aware. I am aware. I live in the LA area and toy hunt every chance I get. While we can't dictate which specific stores Walmart decides to stoack their product at since we sell to them and they distribute to their locations, we are actively working on ways to improve availability of these figs for you guys. Not an easy fix but give us some time. Why is there still only one body mold for the women other than Nia?There's actually quite a few and even more variety on the way. Take a closer look. Hi do you have the rights to make Orient Express figures? Tanaka, Sato, KatoWe do not. What is the liklihood of getting more past female talent? (Luna Vachon, Ivory, Jacqueline?)We'll do everything we can to get as many Legends out as possible. It all comes down to them being signed to Legends deals and that process is constantly in motion. Any change of getting figures of the Headshrinkers?Not currently possible. But man, I'd love modern figs of them. Any update of Hercules since his estate wants to sign a legends deal with WWE?No update. I'd buy a Herc fig though. how come you guys have been pushing out the strowman figs that look so similar?
They sell great and his look hadn't changed much. But his look has slightly changed now... When a new character like the Fiend debuts, does WWE give you a heads up on new look?Sometimes. Case by case basis. We watched as fans along with all of you as this character developed. Please make, to scale, LJN style figures! What was your fav WWF LJN?Might be tough due to the weight but not impossible. I loved the second LJN Hogan. White shirt and red trunks. Why wasn't there a Elite R-Truth At SDCCWe showed his new Basic fig Has the closing of toys r us effected u guys? Where are majority of your figuresow soldOf course. We had so much dedicated space at TRU. It made a lot more unique items possible. Walmart, Target, Amazon, Ringside, and others are all huge supporters of the line. Will there a be a WWE Attitude era championship role playing belt anytime soon?It is an iconic title. Maybe one day. Any First time in the line flashbacks planned that you haven't shown yet?Yes Now that theres a new shawn Michaels headscan will new elites be following the basic 100 figureYes, more HBK figs will come So, where/when will we be able to get that New Asuka fig aka Skeletor's future bride?Asuka is in the Network Spotlight series hitting Target very very soon. Will there be a wrestlemania becky with the two belts?(pic from SDCC panel showing the two belt UE tease) What's the store exclusive in elite 72?Classy Freddie Blassie Will there be any more elite Zack and curt this or 2020 with Zack having a chaseI'm sure we'll see them in the line again at some point. as far as chase versions...maybe, maybe not. "Thanks so much for all of the questions! So sorry if I didn't get to your's but there are literally hundreds. Hopefully many were answered through someone else's question. We'll do this again soon. #WWEEliteSquad"
