Mainline Elite planogram space hasn’t been reduced. What’s your question about swapping? Thanks for replying! Fig swapping is just a terrible practice and I see it more and more. And I am a frequent hunter. I get that returns and return policies are 110% a corporate brick & mortar thing. But it affects y'alls bottom line as well; probably not as bad, but at least a good dent. The longer things sit, the less they order from Mattel. My question has been: Is there anything that you guys can do? Suggest? I just worry that swapping will doom the thrill of in-person hunting (which is me 110%. Unless a 'zon or RSC exclusive, I don't buy it if I don't find it) and be the end of it. Thank you for doing what you do! Swapping is the worst. I’m not sure what else we could realistically do on our end alone to prevent it but we’re of course here to work with retailers with their efforts to crack down on it.

Hey Steve will Cody’s weight belt be corrected on his Elite 111 figure?

Hi Steve, if for instance you can make Bradshaw or Barry windham in the MNW line is it too niche to put separate heads for thetr short singles run in 1998. Thank you

Hi Steve, I have been looking forward to the Mattel Creations exclusive tag teams and the next CC set this year but I’m concerned that us international collectors won’t be able to get our hands on them - we get a pretty rough deal as it is in terms of having to pay after market prices for Walmart and Target Exclusives that we do not get over here. It would feel incredibly tough to have something directly in Mattel’s control that stops us from getting hold of these figures - will international shipping be available again before these pre orders are available, which I understand will be this summer?
At the moment MC website allows international purchases on the website with shipping priced at £9 but we’re told these orders would not be fulfilled?

I picked up UE Yoko and noticed there are two different art for the packaging, which one is the running change? The Legends style artwork on the side panel is the running change. Can you explain or show the difference? I saw the picture but I’m still confused.

When is the Amazon UE Rollins expected to go up for pre-order and when is the expected release date?

Hi Steve I LOVE the 2 in 1s you guys have been pulling off with Jim Neidhart/Who and Terry Gordy/Executioner and I noticed that the Target Legends Road Dogg had him wearing some pants he wore as the Roadie. Was this supposed to be an implied 2 in 1 or just coincidental? He did wear those same pants at the formation of the NAO so I’m hoping it was coincidental. I know obviously Double J isn’t signed to a deal but I hope the Roadie is still up for consideration for his own fig.
Also I collect and display by year and 1996 has been getting filled out more and more which I appreciate but I’d like to submit a request for a Diesel and Razor in their gear from 96 before they left. And another cool one although I know there was some reluctance on Bill’s part to doing Smokin Gunns version of Billy Gunn since Bart signing a deal seems so unlikely but I’d like to submit a request for you guys to make a Rockabilly! He would give people an extra reason to buy a Honky Tonk Man too. Let’s keep filling out that 96 roster!

Let’s say you wanted to do a new line using the MOTU/Superstars form factor (tag teams, cartoon style, modern talent, etc) would Walmart automatically get the first right to refusal or could this hypothetical line go anywhere as long as it’s not called “Superstars”?

Hi Steve,
Apologies if it's already been answered, but will the Main Event Champions line be coming to the UK, do you know?
Thanks for your help!

What are the chances of more intercompany crossovers like TMNT? I'd think a Power Ranger line would do quite well and Hasbro is definitely playing ball with that license right now.

Are there any interesting stories about the making of any past figures that you’re able to share with us?
Maybe some hiccups you had to overcome, or something you were able to do that you didn’t think would be possible?
Keep up the good work, the figures just keep getting better!

How has the Greatest Hits line been performing? Has it done better, worse, or just about what Mattel was expecting? What's the reason for the shifting number of figures per wave? We've had 2 sets of 6, a set of 7, and now a set of 4. Is there any way you'd be able to take suggestions for future line ups via a poll/fan vote, compiling posts on here or Twitter/X, etc. Also, any indication on when we could see the next addition to articulation for the UEs? I'd love to see an attempt at integrating an Elite style ab crunch along with the current articulation, ala the recent Marvel Legends Spider-Man figures pictured here:

To piggy back off this VERY important questiOn that A LOT of people would like an answer too, i too would like to know if new packaging and a new name could get the superstars out of walmart and into creations where everyone worldwide has a chance at these once and for all. Because, unless i am mistaken, i don't believe walmart has the rights to sell motu-like figures otherwise target wouldn't carry the tmnt-motu crossover lines. Correct? Thanks in advance for answering our question on this VERY important issue in the superstars/motu/tmnt/wwe-motu/tmnt-motu and soon to be? "motu-stars" or "wwe-stars"? communities.

Hey Steve will the next coliseum collection be revealed at Comic Con in July ?
Also are there any plans to expand the ultimate torso molds.
Large guys like Big John Studd. He could be great for the shelf as well as for customizers for ivar, a train, and others.
