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

Hey Steve, has your team ever thought about doing BAF in the more accessible Legends line as opposed to the harder to get MNW line? When Walmarts are lucky to get one case of a series for MNW, it basically becomes a one person in that area gets the line, since most buy the case.

Hey Steve is a Sheamus ultimate a possibility? His skin tone is so unique there is no way to build a custom with lots of paint.

Is Reverend D-Von a possibility? or would Mattel be hesitant due to the name or religious attire?

the natural follow-up to that is...

if yes, could we get a Deacon Batista to join him?

Hi Steve,
For the upcoming Coliseum Collection set, can you please confirm that it will ship shortly after purchase- like the others have done? This is my favorite WWE line by far. Thank you!

Hi Steve,

It feels like we are missing a true representation of some of the big guys of the late 80s/Early 90s - Bulldog 1991, Warlord, Hercules, Barbarian all had big thick torsos, less defined more rounded with huge traps and arms.

Could we see a new torso made to cover some of these guys? Appreciate you chat share who you have or haven’t got under contract but it feels like you could get multiple uses out of it over time so hopefully worth the investment.

Can we also get more accurate tan’s on the likes of bulldog, almost a red straight of the sun bed look - these are things that made these guys stand out in the land of the giants era.

I was wondering why we haven't seen MOC images of the front of The Steiner Brothers Ultimates?? They still have window packaging don't they?? Thanks Steve!!

Hi Steve,

is there anything mattel can do about Walmart and its online pre-orders?

it is very difficult for Walmart to fulfill preorders, most of them are cancelled or delayed for months, while in stores there is stock, a clear example is the UE monday night wars wave 2 preorders, they have already changed the delivery date 3 times, while in many facebook groups several people have shown that there is stock in the stores.


for many collectors who do not have the possibility to go physically to the store, it is very frustrating to have to go to resellers to get the Walmart exclusive figures.

Steve, as always - thanks for your work and time.

My questions is this, who decides (Mattel or WWE) with what new talent to sign (legends)?

Over the last few years we’ve seen a load of company’s come in to the picture to prove that some legends or their representatives are willing to discuss having figures made, ones that I remember are:

Dino Bravo
Jeff Jarrett
Sabu
Earl Hebner
Bastion Booger
Bruiser Brody
Kevin Sullivan
Raven
Mr Hughes
Big Bully Busick
Todd Pettengil
Chris Candido
Jack Tunney
One Man Gang
Slick
Power and Glory
Hercules
Abdullah the Butcher
Bad News Brown
Mike Awesome
Tajiri
Henry Godwin
Phineas Godwin
2 Cold Scorpio
Shane Douglas
Ahmed Johnson
Hakushi
Dory Funk
Jack Brisco
Wahoo McDaniel
Stan Hansen
Lou Thesz
Verne Gagne
Men On a Mission
Rougeau Brothers
Savio Vega
Marc Mero
Duke Drose
Pierre Ouellet
Dynamite Kid
Al Snow
Adam Bomb
Haku
Powers of Pain
Blue Meanie
Gangrel
Boris Zhukov
Killer Bees
Adrian Street
Dr Death

I know that you’d love to sign them all, but some of these are glaring omissions from the line, and then you’ve got other legends like Demolition who we didn’t get a Kona Crush or a Repo Man.

Sorry for the long message

Hi Steve, Sooo...the Monday Night Wars Ultimate preorders are a nightmare. They've been pushed back another month and a half. Do you still see Walmart turning the page anytime soon? Because they certainly haven't yet.
