Is William Regal available to you still? I don’t know the particulars of his deal, but I’d love to get a modern NXT GM Regal someday. Thanks! Won’t be getting into contract availability but if he is available, we’ll try to make this happen. |

Is there a rule against having swords in the MOTWWEU line? Noticed that no one has came with one yet.

Do Randy Orton and R-Truth Elite 78 bring any other accessories besides those shown in the pictures?

Was the Chyna torso re-worked due to too much cleavage? The muscle definition on the proto seemed more accurate to her physique. Regardless... it came out fantastic.

Can you request the rights to Cheryl Roberts so you can put her face on the next Rick Rude tights?

Steve:
1. Thanks for taking the time to respond to these. Times are dark - some of us have serious jobs, and actions figures are an amazing escape. This thread helps me get away every day.
2. Thanks for your great insights on the Retro line. As a collector who ONLY bought that line - was very sad to see it end and had questions about how it was managed.
Seeing your responses that you knew the older superstars sold the best - and that a manager was planned at TRU - makes me hopeful about the future and that you’re listening to collectors (I desperately want to give Mattel my money for Retros of 80s-90s wrestlers).
3. You said typical turn around time is one year, but Hogan MOTU figure with ring comes out next month, and you previously said Hogan was approved in January. Does MOTU have a quicker turn around?

Hey Steve
Would you consider a Thankyou Taker limited edition elite to mark Undertakers retirement?

Can we expect more Greg Valentine figures? While nothing can be guaranteed, my hope is to get at least one more Valentine figure out. |

You said typical turn around time is one year, but Hogan MOTU figure with ring comes out next month, and you previously said Hogan was approved in January. Does MOTU have a quicker turn around? Glad you’re enjoying the thread. I know I’ve been a little less active here lately but I do have to run the day to day business plus working on lots of exciting things for you all for Comic-Con@home. Still popping on quickly whenever I get a chance. The Retro line lost its way a bit between fluctuating retail interest, TRU closing, talent selection, management leadership change, etc. It was honestly not one or two people’s fault but just a series of events that forced it to have to (hopeful temporarily) end. I came on board while planning what turned out to be the final year of the line and I think it’s agreed that the last three waves were pretty strong with an even balance of Legends and modern talent to satisfy hardcore fans, retailers, licensor, game partner, etc. But it was just too late at that point. And yes, you would have seen mote Legends in the “Collector Edition” type slots as retailer exclusives. I am hopeful we can bring these back in a way that makes sense and caters directly towards the real audience for them. I know the appetite is strong here but all of your continued patience waiting for these just helps ensure that if/when they do come back, they’re back in a way that can be successful and keep them going as long as there’s still solid collector demand. Hogan and speed to market - While the majority of items needs about a year or sometimes more, there are figures we can fast track. Fiend, Ronda, etc as examples. It is extra strain for the system/process as a whole, thus can’t be done for every figure but we do implement this as often as possible. With the Hogan ring bundle hitting roughly end of September, it falls in line with the typical fast track time frame. This being a one-off time also helps as we’re not shuffling around all the work that was done on a specific wave. Hope that explains things a bit more. |

Design and I did align to keep the Power Sword and Havoc staff exclusive to the actual MOTU world as this is a separate world/universe. With that said, an upcoming character will include a different type of sword. |

Hey steve, I know you cant comment on who's under contract usually. But with Sgt.Slaughter getting a similar scale figure from another company, is it safe to assume that he is off limits for now?
