When will we finally get a release date for Fan takeover UEs? Seems like it’s been almost a year since we heard they were coming back, third part retailers are selling them for scalper prices and there’s been hardly any update on when we can buy them?
Why do third party retails get these store exclusive so early? Does that not hurt the retailer who has them and their sales when others are selling them weeks/months in advance.

Hi Steve, What would be your personal choice for an Ultimate Edition British Bulldog? Thanks

Hi Steve, What would be your personal choice for an Ultimate Edition British Bulldog? Thanks I wanted (and tried for) SummerSlam 92. With that recently done as an Elite instead, maybe another gear from his IC Title run or a WCW look with entrance jacket.

So with us getting the Elite, does that mean there’s no chance of getting SummerSlam 92 as an Ultimate… at all?

It doesn’t eliminate it but it’s recent use would push it down the list of options in the immediate future.

Steve can you reconsider Bulldog Summer Slam 92 as an Ultimate sooner please? Don’t underestimate the love for that look. The elite was good but loads of room to make it ultimate! For starters - - 3 head sculpts. We’ve only had 1 sculpt from his IC run. - Painted red, white and blue dread beads. All about the details! - Larger Union Jack. The elite one was too short compared to the actual one and it’d be nice to have the shiny style used on the new Superstars Bulldog. - Hogan/Roman torso. Bulldog never had abs. - Make it even more Ultimate by making it a 2-pack throwing in Lennox Lewis or even Diana. Loads of potential. The UK market would go crazy for it.

Since we’re talking bulldog ultimate
Steve could something like his attire from the battle royale at the royal Albert hall show be considered along with the trophy he got for winning? Or would the trophy mould be too much since it would be a one off and not suitable for any other figure? The show was a huge deal over here in the uk and my favourite vhs as a kid.

Hi Steve, any chance of the next Kevin Nash figure (as he recently announced that he's on a WWE Legends deal) being either Vinnie Vegas or his debut WWF look with the white jacket? Big fan for many years, and buying pretty much every single old school fig, elite/basic/UE that you guys make :-) Thanks a lot, Steve!

This was all meant to be hypothetical fantasy booking. Don’t get too hung up on anything here.

Hey Steve, Lately we've gotten a handful of Shawn Michaels figures from different eras, mostly they've featured rather stoic/emotionless headscans. Any specific reason for this, can this be fixed/changed? Shawn's UE figures are great for this very reason and it's odd for such a charismatic wrestler to have such serious headscans.

Steve, I have a few questions for you:
What is the possibility of us collectors getting Bray Wyatt's Firefly Funhouse as a playset? Maybe include a "Muscle Man" Bray Wyatt figure, as well as, all the puppets?
What is the likelihood, if any, of us collectors getting a Buried Alive playset with UE's of purple gloved Undertaker and '96 Mankind?
And lastly, Can we collectors get the LEX EXPRESS BUS?
Thank you again Steve and team. Continue to SURPRISE and AMAZE me. Love your work.

Had a question about the criteria you use for releasing stuff in the Greatest Hits/Vault lines as opposed to getting out similar versions of older figures in regular Elite/Ultimate lines. For something like the HOF Hogan figure, if you re-did that one, would it be a straight re-release in the GH lines? Or would you end up going with a soft goods shirt, title belt and including the black eye headscan and throw it in another line instead to make it a little more enticing of a buy? Was curious if that goes into the decision making process when deciding on what figures to just re-release in GH lines as opposed to something like the RSE Dude Love with newer tech, but also an upgrade to a soft goods shirt. Thanks!

With that recently done as an Elite instead, maybe another gear from his IC Title run or a WCW look with entrance jacket. A WCW era Bulldog with the Jacket would be amazing. I really hope that can happen. And “IF” Sting becomes available again, having him in their matching tag attire & jackets would be great figures. Really hoping now that Sting is done in the ring that he can get a deal similar to Jake Roberts & RVD, able to appear on TV over there but still get figures and other products from WWE. But staying with Bulldog, any chance we get the Biker Shorts look from him?

Hi Steve any chances we see a new HBK ultimate anytime soon? Maybe a definitive Wrestlemania 12 or Armageddon 2002

Hi Steve, as many have said thanks for all you do. It is obvious you work really hard for us and we all appreciate it.
Q: Would Mattel consider releasing the Superstars figures on shippers like the MNW's line at Walmart?
Reason: It would give us all a fighting chance at these as walmart would have to put out several cases at once to fill the shippers.
Thanks for considering it.

Steve,
Thank you for all that you do! We really appreciate your presence here!
I'm wondering if you are able to offer any insight or explanation as to why Walmart offered the Monday Night Wars Series 3 and the 2nd Wave of MNW Ultimates online for pre-order - but not Series 1 and 2, and not the Bret Hart / Roddy Piper Ultimates?
It's frustrating to collectors that many Walmart stores only seem to receive 2 of each Ultimate figure and they are typically not replenished. Some of us are stressed that we won't be able to find these at retail and be forced to pay high secondary market prices or not buy the Ultimate figures at all.
You made recent comments that Walmart was making improvements and I sincerely hope that holds true. Two figures per store just doesn't seem like enough to satisfy collectors - many buy two themselves! Is it a possible consideration to have at least ONE FULL CASE (4) of each Ultimate for Walmart?
These should really be available online for collectors to have a fair chance to buy when they are released.
I hope that if Walmart will not make these more widely available that Mattel will consider offering them on Mattel Creations or through Ringside Collectibles. Many of your die-hard fans are becoming frustrated trying to track these down.
Thank you for listening to us.

Hey Steve,
I'm not sure if this falls under your control or umbrella, but simply why haven't the Ultimate Edition waves been allocated for the UK? Specifically the MNW, I understand the price and such but surely if that was an issue a smaller order/buy could allow for much higher/complete sell through. Now it seems that the only way to get these pieces is through secondary markets. Unless have they been offered to indie stores?
Any incite would be incredibly welcome ans appreciated
