If Hacksaw is still under a deal, would you consider making a ruthless aggression era version of him? Have General Adnan, Colonel Mustafa, and a heel Srg Slaughter been considered? All great ideas! |

When designing figures, and working on what scale height wise, do you have a chart or something to decide how tall they will be and do you group some different heights together. Say you have someone that is 6'1" and someone 6'2". Would they be close enough in height that you don't see a need to make one an inch taller or shorter. If that is the case can you say what height groupings typically go together?
Also on the Alexa Bliss and Sasha Banks figures you guys use mostly the same body parts making the the exact same height. Alexa is around 5'1" while Sasha is around 5'5". On TV the difference is very noticeable and they are not really close enough the be made the same size. I think Sasha could be slightly taller to make her more accurate. Sasha is only 1 inch shorter than Becky and the Becky figures tower over the Sasha figures. Any chance of the scale on Sasha changing?
I really find the info on behind the scenes development to be fascinating.
Thanks for all these answers in the thread.

Just wondering, there’s been a lot of questions about Jerry Lawler, you guys made his old Memphis/awa look and his current announcer older look, assuming he is still available to be made, can you speculate as to what the next version of him would be in the event he will be made, I think it is long overdue for a classic 1993 heel Jerry Lawler representing his feud with Bret Hart, Between Jakks and Mattel this version has never been represented and is arguably his most iconic WWF look.
Also similar vein Ric Flair has been one of the most iconic and legendary characters in wrestling but there seems to be not a lot of versions of him released either. All of his figures have been great so far but there have been none representing his iconic look from the mid to late 90s from WCW with the shorter hair. With so many versions of Brett Hart, Shawn Michaels, Randy savage, and ultimate warrior, what are the chances of getting a Ric Flair in this version. There was a picture of an ultimate edition upcoming figure hint With the four horseman hand gesture, I’m holding out hope that at the very least an interchangeable head sculpt of Ric Flair from this era will be included with that . Thanks again for all of the insight!

Without asking for specific names, how far out do you guys have the Ultimate Editions planned?
And hypothetically---if you guys were to make Ultimate Sting, would you prefer to do a surfer era Sting or a crow era Sting?

How did Godfather get approved? You’d think a pimp would be a gimmick Mattel would steer clear from. If WWE approves it, I don't think they care what the gimmick is- $$ is what both companies care about. They have made figures of demons, zombies, voodoo witch doctors, Ugandan headhunter, deranged psychopath, Goldust and soon Chyna (porn actress). Compared to all of those, I don't think a pimp is that bad. And rerouting it back to the subject of Val Venis...I dare say that, even in spite of his gimmick, he's probably easier to pass beneath the radar, in that unlike the Godfather, there's very little, if anything that would appear on or with his figure that would outright imply "porn star". The little gimmick blurb on the back would have to be craftily worded, but in the grand scheme of all of the gimmicks mentioned above being able to make the cut (and some being a lot more blatant), I feel like a world in which Sean Morely signs a merchandise deal could absolutely see an Elite put together. |

Not that you were asking me. I'm in the same boat. I don't feel like they've put out a definitive Surfer yet but they got Crow right the first time out. I'd love to see an Ultimate Sting based on like 93-94 in particular. |

It wouldn’t even be that hard (no pun intended). “Val Venis is a former Intercontinental and European Champion, but above all else he loves saying hello to the ladies.” Or something like that. |

Not that you were asking me. Same, surfer Sting seems tailor-made for this line, especially for his jackets. I'm sure they could find one particular color theme (tights and boots) where he wore different types of face paint so the multiple heads could be different. They have done heel Slaughter Not like this though Yep. This is the Slaughter I want. |

This would have to be answered by the design team. I’m not sure what their individual methods are for how they account for scale. |

I’d prefer to see Surfer Sting in Ultimates first. His entrance jacket could use some poseability. |
