Do you know if JBL/Bradshaw is still available to y'all? Are Elite 2-packs going to hit retail? JBL...maybe. Elite 2-packs will be available online and at specialty retail only for now. Do you know which retailers might be getting them? I haven’t bought Finn/AJ yet because I’m hoping to find it in a store |

I know that retail is your bread and butter but would creating a Legends line that collectors pre-paid for (Once the paper concept was displayed so we saw the concept) work at a premium price? Meaning $30.00 for let's say a Bruiser Brody ... if he was signed and the demand was there you could green light it? If the money is not there ... then you don't make it. Or is that too small potatoes?
Kind of like Eaglemoss? You know they are coming out and if you missed it you jeopardize your collection.
Maybe proof of concept that WWE does a featurette on that person for their network ... Educate the new viewers of that great wrestler ... then they sell the figure through their on-line store? So maybe year one it is:
Every 2nd month
Stan Hansen (they already have a feature)
Bruiser Brody (already have one)
Rocky Johnson (already have one)
Ivan Putski (already have one)
Jeff Jarrett (already have one)
Jessie Ventura (already have one)
I rip it open but the packaging could be exclusive to WWE stores. Then the figure could have a different color trunks and released in the market like you do now?
If you did this ... I would Pay! JUST FYI! Thank you!

What goes into decisions like making first time in line figures like KO, Morgan, and Deville store exclusives and making people like Nikki Bella a mainline and chase variant? I’m still kinda confused on why E71 Cole wasn’t in his camo attire to match E72 Roddy and Nikki was the chase figure and Ohno and Paige were exclusives? I’d love to here your insight AFA Cole’s figure gear was finalized just before he appeared in the camo gear. Keep in mind we work very far in advance. We’re already doing a lot of work on 2021 product. Paige was a last minute addition as business dictated we needed another exclusive for Target and that figure was ready to go since she wasn’t going forward at Walgreens. We try to create the best lineups possible with talent that hopefully appeals to all segments of collectors and kids that will also have the best chance at strong sell though to ensure we move on quickly to the next wave of figs. WWE then has input on the lineups as they have their our own considerations and specific view on things. |

Are there any plans to possibly make a new torso mold for guys like Ali, Cedric, Ricochet, Roddy, AJ and Bálor? Small but ripped guys?The Bryan torso is too small and the Cody ripped torso is a bit too big in terms of size I’m sure we’ll get new toros options in time. |

It’s a fun idea but if they were available to us we’d just include them in existing lines. They’re all in the realm of doable in the way we currently plan lineups. We just don’t have access to a lot a the talent you’re suggesting. |

What do you know of the Santa foley digital render that leaked on here a few years back?

Can you update us on the situation with getting the last two waves of Retros into stores in the US? We’ve heard that Walmart aren’t taking them but Target still might, is that still the situation? How does production work in situations like this? Do you do a single production run in sufficient numbers for all retailers ahead of those waves reaching Ringside like earlier this year and now you have the Walmart allocation in storage looking for a new home, or do you do several production runs of a wave as the stores confirm their orders? Thanks.

Since you're still answering questions, any chance we'll see a proper 1997 Hart Foundation Jim Neidhart elite to match the other 3 Hart Foundation members? As opposed to a 1994 Jim wearing his HF jacket like the upcoming figure?  While I'm at it I may as well ask, any chance we'd ever see Jim from his solo 91/New Foundation team attire? Or Bulldog from his Wrestlemania 12/Unforgiven 99 attire?   Thanks! |

Thanks. Just one production run is done for all retailers. As stated before, grab the figs you want from those waves online if you can. They’re off planogram at Walmart and it’s not looking likely they’ll hit Target. |
