I think they overstocked E26 when he passed... And overpriced DM because they knew he would sell... I say bring on more singlet Warriors. However, I'd like to see WM4 and WM5 in elite and yellow IC belt with another trunks Warrior. The more the merrier. Oh right... Can we see Ultimate Warrior elites of Wrestlemania 4 and 5 with yellow intercontinental belt in the near future? ? I WILL make the yellow IC title happen. Could you please just not re-release WM6 again?

Is Freddie Blassie still the Elite 77 Walmart exclusive?

Would it ever be an option to crowdfund deals straight with talent for figures (given they are on good terms with WWE). Have no idea if it would be feasible but that Mattel wouldn’t have to foot the bill since it doesn’t fit on the budget or whatnot?
Examples of people inducted into the HOF the last few years, so they most likely aren’t on bad terms)
Bruiser Brody Abdullah Freebirds Bubba Ray Dudley Rock N Roll Express Stan Hansen
amongst others

If more Warriors were to be made, would you steer away from singlet attires, considering both the E26 and DM weren't that well received/popular? Those figures were overproduced. That gave the perception that they didn’t do well but A LOT were sold so they were pretty popular in reality. That's good to hear... 'cos I want to see more singlet Warriors. Hey AFA, just wondering if you can give any kind of explanation to this? Or any helpful hints on how to prevent it? It’s happening more & more to my older elites, which are kept in my finished air condition humidity controlled basement...it’s getting quite frustrating! Thanks! Speaking of this Orton... Why is this the only elite Orton to have the red rose on his forearm? It has not been in colour on any elite Orton since. Is it down to a design oversight, deco cost?

Could we see another Lacey evans elite with a fan and her lace it up outfit she’s wearing now?
Why haven’t we seen an updated Sonya deville this year when her and Mandy have had one of the most talked about storylines on TV?
Is Corey Graves in wrestling gear a possibility?
What’s the status of including certain announcers in the line like Bryon Saxton, Tom Phillips, Jojo?

Hey AFA, Not sure if this has been asked before, but how come all the elites with a singlet torso come moulded in the singlet colour with the flesh tone painted? I’m not sure when mattel started doing this but I’m confident it was around elite 30.
Just wondering if there was a specific reason for this and if it’s possible to change it back to the torso being moulded in flesh tone? As they are now the skin tone almost never matches up and seems to chip very easily

Will the “Takeover Line” poll winners be announced during SDCC @ Home?.

Hey Steve,
I'm sure this is probably one of the busiest times of the year for you and your team, if not THE busiest time so I appreciate you making yourself available for our endless onslaught of inquiries.
Two quick questions:
1.) Will we see a packaging change for the Elite line anytime soon? If so, are you able to specify the wave?
2.) How soon are we going to see another BaF Elite series?
Thanks as always!

When you go to the Mattel Creations website there’s a countdown clock saying it’s gonna launch in 54 days. Since the SDCC exclusives are going to be sold there next week will there be partial access to the site available then?

Any chance we'll be getting the APA in ring gear? Also, is a "Damn" shirt possible or no way with Mattel?

The countdown clock on the site is unrelated to SDCC.

The countdown clock on the site is unrelated to SDCC. Will these Insta sales be designed for international customers as well, or is it effectively US-only in this case? I look forward to hearing much more about Mattel Creations at SDCC, but can you at least tell us at this stage if the international offices of Mattel will be involved with Mattel Creations? What I mean is (I’m assuming this service will involve Mattel selling direct to customers/collectors rather than through the traditional retailers route) will there be UK/German/Australian/etc. mirrors of the US site where those customers can enjoy the same Mattel Creations products without the heavy expense of international shipping and import customs that always comes with buying direct from the US? Speaking for myself only, if I’m paying a higher amounts for the same products then I’d prefer that money to go to Mattel to support their products rather than to delivery companies, etc. I’m assuming it is cheaper for Mattel to bring stock into countries rather than individuals like me.

To the best of your knowledge, were there any variants or running changes with the Retro rings (not including packaging)?

For Steve:
1. What happened with the Elite Legends 7 pre-order launch getting botched? 2. You mentioned that if this does well, you can convince the powers that be to do this more often. Well, the announced pre-orders did sell out. People did as you asked them to do. Is this a good sign for the future for announcing pre-order launch dates online ahead of time? 3. If it happens again, do you think it will go more smoothly? IE launch will go off on the announced date as planned?

Action Figure AttackSomeone posted this in the MWFP Facebook page and it brought me down nostalgia lane. Would this 2 pack with Cory Matthews and Vader be at all possible for a SDCC exclusive? Or even something for the Mattel Creations website? Combining my two favorite things while I was growing up will make this a treasure!

Is Bret Goldberg 2 pack based on the October nitro match or Starrcade?
