Q&A w/Steve aka AFA Official Thread NO DISCUSSION, Q&A ONLY!

Is the upcoming Shawn Michaels MNW rerelease going to come with the original shoulder accessory or was that cut for the BAF/added articulation?

Steve, could be me, but I'm starting to realize BAF releases are being sent to difficult to obtain stores.

PPV/PLE BAFs are non existent at retail. And if they do happen to pop in a store, it's only the 1 or 2 of the set therefore it becomes incomplete, so technically speaking the only way to get a complete PPV/PLE BAF set is through ringside. That's fine no real issue there.

Then Monday Night Wars BAF set seems to be a "specific" Walmart store exclusive, I say that because not all Walmarts get them. (My store has only ever got the WM shipper of series 1 and nothing since, probably won't see any MNW figures in my store until series 5 or 6)

That being said, the only readily available line for legends collectors is the Target Legends line, love it. But why hasn't BAF been added to the legends line? I think it would be a great opportunity to push out a fifth figure for the legends line, and potentially get more sales from people who wouldn't normally buy certain figures.

Is there a reason to why here recently all new figures have really loose heads? For example, bought the new MNW figures, it took me 4 RVD’s to finally find one that didn’t have a bobble head. Ultimate Mankind’s head won’t stay on unless you use the one without the mask. Just picked up 4 of the Greatest Hits Legends and Tugboat, Warlord and I.R.S all with bobble heads. Can’t just be a coincidence

Hi Steve just wondered if any thought has gone into giving elite dusty a new torso similar to the Bronson Reed one. The new ultimate torso makes the elite now look very basic and out dated? Thanks

Zach Rider recently unboxed SDCC HBK and said he knows that there was something else planned. Can you confirm that WM12 Shawn was a replacement and possibly give some insight on why the other figure didn’t happen. Is it possible this figure could ever see a release?

Hey Steve -

Now that El Generico is WWE canon (as seen on WWE Vault on YouTube), is there any chance of a Sami Zayn/El Generico 2 in 1 figure?

Can you tell me how many more repaints or rereleases we should be expecting in the Monday night wars line? Out of the 24 figures in this series we’ve seen 9 that are somewhat original designs. How about the New Age Outlaws before they went to DX with Billy still wearing the rockabilly tights. Commissioner Slaughter, Bret in the wheelchair actually give us the wheel chair in the box, Big Poppa Pump

Hi Steve, now that we have Superstars in the UK, would it be possible to do a greatest hits wave with Bulldog in it? It seems such a shame that we missed out on him by a wave! Thanks

Hi Steve, I just wondered whether the new retro ring will be more purple like in the renders? It was very 'pink' in the photos at SDCC. Hopefully we'll see these next ones soon! I especially love the white one! Which would you like to do next? Thanks
