I know you don't talk about who is signed and who isn't...but if Brian Pillman was/is still under a deal, what would be the next look of an Elite you'd want to make? To piggy back, if Loose Cannon then what about this?  |

The Hart Family were regularly used in WWF programming in the 90s. Would you possibly request WWE go after deals with Diana and/or the estate of Stu and Helen or would they be too niche?

I know you can't say when or with who but has the headset that was going to come with Gorilla been slotted into a new spot somewhere?

This is a totally obscure question that I’m sure you won’t know the answer to right off of the top of your head. I’m hoping you can ask around help me get to the bottom of this before too much time passes and it becomes a total mystery. What wave was the individually packaged ryback brawlin buddy in? Who else was in that wave. I never saw one in person, only online. Who else’s was in that wave?

If Richie Steamboat didn’t have a career ending injury and was on the active roster what do you think are the chances of having a figure of him as a baby, maybe as an accessory to a Ricky Steamboat fig?  |

Will we soon see an elite with accessories such as the commentator's table or the stretcher?

If regular 2001 Kane ever gets rereleased can it have the big white bandage he had on his left arm from when he was injured?

Have we got that Pre SDCC dead zone where no news flows from anywhere until a week before SDCC where a few leaks occur? Everyone except Hasbro Pulse has zipped lips at the moment.

I know the toy market has changed, but has there been any consideration to selling accessory packs like jakks used to? With the brand splits, it seems like a branded commentator booth with and microphone or the brand specific championship belts would do well
Is there concern that those will be peg warmers, or is the general feeling that the accessories help figure sales and there is no need to release as their own pack?

Why doesn’t Mattel have consistent Amazon exclusives and Walgreens exclusives.
It seems like Hasbro with each of their action figure lines has no trouble releasing them year after year, but Mattel WWE rarely has them. We got 5 total Walgreens figures years ago and maybe a couple Amazon exclusives over the life of the line
Just seems odd we can’t get at least 1 or 2 a year out of those places

Have you considered doing Collectors Edition figures in the basic and/or battle pack line? Figures that don’t really need to be elites but maybe doesn’t fit your current strategy for a mainline basic? One off appearances, short lived gimmicks, suited figures, low deco flashbacks, etc. *I know Sting isn’t currently signed but a limited run Blade Runners would be perfect for a CE BP if he ever does return to WWE.  |

I found a basic purple strap IC title made by mattel.
Its a non metallic version, without paint.. Do you know which figure this belt came with? I know the The Rock RSC comes with the purple strap metallic version. But I've never seen it as a basic version. Especially without any paint. Maybe the plates were swapped out? I've done hours of research with no luck :\

Just saw the Legends MOC images and love the way Valentine is packed to show which version you're getting (Best fig of the bunch IMO) but what happened to Razor's thumbs up hands? Will those still be included or have they been scrapped? Glad you like the Valentine packout. The thumb hands had to unfortunately be cut. There was a tooling issue that caused the need to remove them. We learned of this after the pre-sale went live. I‘ve already slotted in the thumbs up hands with a different figure in 2021 to get them out as quickly as possible. Is it possible for those of us who pre-ordered Razor, with proven proof of purchase, to have the thumb hands mailed to us? |

While not impossible, it’s probably not likely to have the Collector’s Edition strategy expand to Basics and 2-packs. Maybe we’ll see some of these looks elsewhere though in time. |

Anything is possible if the right opportunity arises. I’ll give a little extra non WWE specific context of why things like this are a bit more rare now. Planogram space is limited at retail, especially with TRU now out of the picture. Toy companies develop and pitch a lot of product and retailers then decide what specific items they feel will be most productive on their pegs. In a TRU era where space was more plentiful and more pegs needed to be filled, items like accessory packs had a greater chance of being picked up. With the limited space of modern retail, chances for items like this greatly decrease as they simply won’t move off pegs as fast as an assortment of figures. If you take online outlets into consideration, similar rules still apply. Do you put your investment into a tertiary offering like accessory packs or do you more heavily support things you feel will be much more productive for you? So still possible but a little more challenging now. |
