When will Elites and Ultimate figures catch up with Modern figures in terms of articulation?

Thanks for the response as always AFA. With the Legends two-packs, would there be any tag teams in your opinion that would merit that presentation and would work for retail or does the singles as part of a wave work better in this current retail climate? There are a few teams that could possibly work. Don’t have rights to some of them at them moment though.

Just to clarify ... is there a 100% guarantee that L8 Jake Roberts is still going to happen ? I just have a feeling that WWE and Sting are renegotiating his contract and unfortunately that’s what prevented his L7 from happening. However, I feel that Jake’s situation is totally different. I don’t see AEW straight up signing Jake, because of his reliability ect So, I’m guessing that he’ll remain under his WWE legends deal, while also being allowed to appear on AEW in an as needed / per appearance type of deal ... thus allowing the L8 figure to still be produced ? Please elaborate if you can, but if you can’t then that’s cool too ... just looking for some reassurance that one of my most wanted figures will still happen (Jake from WrestleMania 2). Thanks for taking your time to answer questions and we’re all very appreciative of you doing this thread for us 🤘🏻😎 Look guys, I get the passion and understand the speculation but literally no figure is 100% guaranteed until you get it in your hands as we’ve seen multiple times in the past. With that said, as of this very moment, the figure is still on schedule to hit as planned. That’s the best I can do for you.

Is Brock Party still a possibility? I know it’s only been a year since he won MITB and these things take time but it was also a short lived gimmick so I can see plans for it being scrapped. It’s one of the few times Brock showed personality and has been entertaining during his return. If you do make this figure would you do the bigger boom box briefcase? No reason the look/moment would be ruled out from consideration.

Hi Steve, I was just wondering when do you think we will see figures of the NXTUK guys and if they might be exclusive to us here in the UK I would love to have a Walter figure and a Joe Coffey as well. Thanks If there was sufficient retail interest and support exclusives could be possible. Aside from exclusives, we’ll continue to include as many new talents as possible throughout the lineups.

Any word on when/if Classy Freddie or Billy Graham will hit online? Any timing specifics on that those figs would have to come from the retailers who decided to carry them.

I know it's been said more cruiserweights are coming in 2020 (thank you so much!) but, there's one of the OG 205 Live crew that I fear we won't get, as they pretty much are exclusive to NXT UK now... Is there any chance of making Noam Dar a priority? I think we've gotten the whole original 205 Live crew in figure form, in some way or another. I just worry we won't get one of him And actual ring gear for The Singh Brothers would be amazing, too. We get a lot of legend requests, which I understand, completely. However, there are those of us who collect only current guys. Having more NXT/205/lower card guys would be awesome to have. I understand why it can be difficult to get them in the line, but I can wish! haha And thanks so much for pushing through MIKE KANELLIS and Drake Maverick! Can't wait to get these figs. There will continue to be lots of variety in the lineups as always including 205 Live, NXT, Legends, etc. Can’t give info on specific talents like Noam though. Sorry.

Steve, Which is the chase version of Greg valentine? Yellow or black trunks? How does it work with pre-orders? Random packing? Will you be able to see or will the robe cover it? Yellow trunks is the chase.

Steve, So again ... thanks for being here with us and also thank you for pushing retail which is above and beyond your job. Does Mattel watch what Todd MCfarlane just did with his kickstarter hoping he would raise 100 thousand for a figure and getting 3.4 million? I think it was telling and the wave of the future to offer these pre orders. To see Greg Valentine selling out within 24 hours screams demand. Again, it seems you should get a check from Target too for helping them sell their items. To me these pre-orders are the way to go. Pre-sale and meet demand. Thank you Yes, we’re aware of the McFarlane Spawn Kickstarter. Mattel has done similar executions going way back to the Matty Collector days. Glad the pre-order was helpful to you.

How will cases be packed without Sting in the legends line? Is it too late to get a replacement figure in the series for Sting? I guess production has already happened so probably not right? Legends are case packs of 5. Series 7 Razor Ramon x 2 Bobby Heenan x 2 Greg Valentine x 1 A replacement figure wasn’t possible.

So I read that four sets of Legends are already slated for 2021, it’s legends 9-12 since 7/8 are due out this year? Yes.

With the new elite brood Christian coming out, do you see another elite Brood Edge coming out in the near future? This time with a new scan? Also, Steve what’s your favorite attire that Edge wore while he was in the Brood? Mine has to be the red or Maroon. It’s possible. I always liked the maroon but many of them were pretty memorable.

Hey AFA , With MVP being back with WWE and being a regular on the program what are the chances of a possible flashback or current version of him ? If he’s available to us, we’ll do our best to include him.

Outside of having the rights for Andre, what would have to be done to get Andre as Fezzik from Princess Bride? Oddly really want it. Princess Bride rights. Licensor alignment. Management alignment. A proper slot for the fig.

Hi Steve, Just wondered if you would be able to tell us if all the "inventory" of the Elite 74 Jim Neidhart is depleted and if there was any update to Walmart putting him up on the website He was on the website already. Blink and you miss it but he was there How are the exclusives going to work online from now on? RSC it up Elite 77 pre orders a while ago but nothing for Blassie This would have to be answered by Ringside or any of the retailers that decided to carry the figs.

Hi Steve, Just wondered if you would be able to tell us if all the "inventory" of the Elite 74 Jim Neidhart is depleted and if there was any update to Walmart putting him up on the website We have none left. Doesn’t mean retailers have fully shipped him into their locations, etc but we have none left to ship out.

Steve, If Gangrel hypothetically became available to you guys, there's no way you could do a chase (or even an exclusive) of him with the "viscous liquid" splattered on his shirt, is there?

Given the release of the Anvil Exclusive in late Hart Foundation attire, and that the other two members in their attire(Bulldog and Hart) have been almost a decade since those releases, when can we see Bulldog and Bret(an even Pillman) released in some attire that corresponded with their custom Hart Foundation leather jackets and vests. Clamoring to put together that group in my collection but not at spending near a $1000.
