hi Steve.
thanks for your time.
when you put together prototypes with existing parts, how do you scale them?
is it a simple measurement or do you use actual released figures to measure them up? for example, start with Rey Mysterio on one end and Andre at the other? like a police suspect line?

Hi Steve, is Mattel working on the new QC issues with the new factory?
1. We are seeing major scaling issues (for example Dudley Boyz)
2. Tight joints
3. Loose hands
4. Loose heads
I'm hopping by 2025 these QC issues are addressed and we have scale figures, smooth pinless joints, & properly fitted heads.
Please don't take this as a negative but more as a communication between collectors and Mattel. You have always been the voice between us and Mattel. I think we can get back on track on creating the best wresting figures ever made!
Thanks,

Hi Steve, thank you for your time. My question would be if there's at least a small chance that Mattel could do what Jakks Pacific used to do, and somehow negotiate with WWE that they could sign their own legends for certain legends figure lines?? Jakks did it for their Classic Superstars series, like mentioned on the following screenshots:    Thank you so much! |

Steve, any chance Monday Night War greatest Hits Elites goes online at Walmart?
These have been hard to find in stores and hoping they pop up online like MNW Series 4. For many of us this was the only way to find them.
I know you probably tired of hearing this but Target is WAY BETTER then Walmart!

Hi Steve, can you please address the following issues with those who are responsible for fixing them in the future?
From the new Monday Night Wars series 5, both the BAF nWo Dusty Rhodes and the WCW Ultimate Warrior elite figs have pretty loose heads, which isn't the case with any other figs (not just from this line, but in general).
Thanks a lot.

Steve,
I hope you are doing well, would it be possible to re-release Ultimate Edition Eddie Guerrero Ruthless Aggression with the correct torso or release a new Eddie Guerrero from that era?
Thanks, the best

Is HBK SDCC still on the water or has it made it to the states yet?

Hi Steve,
We are severely lacking baby-face tag teams during the golden era, specifically 1985 to 1988. Would love to see at least one of these tag team champions during that four year period:
U.S. Express
British Bulldogs
Strike Force
Any chance of it happening?

Hey Steve question on the macho man rights deal is the hold up on wwe's end with it expiring or could it be that he was signed to a direct deal with mattel in 2010 when they was doing individual exclusive contracts with certain people and it just ran out and the estate or wwe doesn't know about it ending ?

Can SDCC exclusives be remade if the talent is currently available and there aren’t any major additional licensing issues? I know WM15 Undertaker got a re-release with a different head but I don’t think anyone else has. Is there an official policy? I’d personally love another Shockmaster with some upgrades. Mr T is another but this time not be a mashup and just do the SNME look with the correct boots and either a Hulkamania or SNME shirt or both.

Hi Steve! Can you please tell us if the Dudley Boys 2pack will be back in stock at Ringside and/or Mattel Creations?
Thank you

Go and give some of the old posts a read. Hi Steve, thanks a lot for the reply. As far as i know the previous discussions in this thread were from a time before the WWE/UFC merger into TKO and when Vince was still in charge. So my question to you is, with the new management and all, do you see a chance to bring up those exact negotiations again? Thank you so much for everything you're doing for our community! Cheers! |

Can you please bring up issues over misinformation on some of the new figures that have come out recently.
Top Picks Rock has 3 main issues Rock vs Cena didn't happen at 27 that was Cena vs Miz.
The next year was the once in a lifetime match and neither held the WWE Championship.
Rock never beat Cena for the championship, Cena beat Rock.
Defining Moments CM Punk has a issue where it says 3 days before MITB when it should be 3 weeks.

Steve, gotta say, the Walmart WWE Superstars line is the best thing going imo. What’s the chances we’d ever get a tag team 2 pack? Maybe a ringside exclusive or comic con exclusive.

Hey Steve, hoping you can shine some light on something / maybe confirm the theory.
MNW elites have hit Australia (woohoo). Series 5 to be precise!
They have 2K promotion with them and it appears from what we can see, the top of all these figures has had one side of the tape seal broken. It’s also the side that has the 2k promo code tucked in with the box!.
Every box found this far has the tape cut - I’m assuming it was done (either at Mattel warehouse or our national distribution warehouse) to get the Mattel 2k promotion codes in the box, or do we have a massive problem with our Australian Target employees stealing the codes… LOL!
I’m assuming it’s the first, but would be great (and put some MOCers at ease including this one) if you could confirm / provide any insight.
Cheers as always and thanks for you time on the forum.

Has Mattel taken note of the prevalence of custom figures, especially of legends from the 80s, and if so what has been the internal reaction?
