So uhh, considering there’s already a ton of molds and deco patterns for him, if he’s under a deal, how long would it be before we got a new CM Punk? Lol

Punk obviously does not have a Merch deal/WWE deal yet.........just curious what Punk attire would you like to see be made when the stars align?.
Personally I’d love to see the his Green/Black/white gear from the Raw before MITB 2011 were he and Vince had the live contract signing.

Why hasn’t Mattel made any AWA title belts, I know people aren’t exactly demanding it but is there any reason why you guys haven’t made them?

You have mentioned that you may propose a certain character/attire and WWE would suggest another. Is it safe to assume for talent who performed for WWE and other companies that they typically would prefer you to make the WWE version? For example if you were to propose Stunning Steve, Natural Dustin, Lionheart, etc would you strongly be encouraged to do Stone Cold, Goldust, and Y2J instead?

I would like to ask about how the decisions are made to short pick various figures versus double packing some For instance WM 36 Elites - Instead of everyone having 2 each Matt Hardy gets 3 and Booker gets 1. And it’s a BAF. Shouldn’t everything be even? WM 35 Elites - we all know Scott Hall is popular. Why would he only get 1 per case and Triple H get 3? Again why not just everyone get 2? And the regular Elite line E68 - there’s a proven track record with Daniel Bryan. He doesn’t sell that great. For whatever reason. Why choose to double pack him, instead of Braun? E69 - Rey. I understand this choice. But to double pack E72 Rey, that is nearly identical? E72 - Bryan (again) and Triple H are double packed. Why not Alister Black (that you know there’s a huge demand for?, maybe the tattoo color hits??) That leads to another question. In some of these assortments. There doesn’t need to be multiple people getting double packed Is it ever an option to get 7 characters instead of 6? Or in the rare case of no store Exclusive, 8 separate characters? Just curious how these things work Mainline Elites are a case pack of 8. That means two will be double weighted. Your double weighted figs are your anchors of the waves. Your Batmans or Spider-Mans to compare to super hero lines. Those talents who anchor usually have proven history of sell through or have a popularity level high enough to greatly reduce the risk of clogging. Waves with BaF: Although many do, not every consumer wants to complete the BaF. Weighting of the waves is still evaluated by the talent included. This isn’t just done with WWE as you can see tons of examples with Marvel Legends where the same thing occurs. Thanks for the reply. To counter the Marvel Legends comparison though. Often those waves vary They may have 8 separate characters, 7 or 6. I’m guessing they adjust, where it seems like WWE is totally set on 6 per set. E68 would be a great example. You know and everyone knows that DB doesn’t have a great sell through history. Was or is it an option to just go 7 characters deep instead of double packing him Again not trying to troll or argue. Just genuinely curious. These Elite slots are getting fewer and fewer, with all the NXT talents, etc. Just exploring ways to get more talent in the line |

But who would they realistically include them with? Slaughter is only one I can think of, and I’m not even sure he held the championship Zybysko is highly doubtful for another figure |

Is Hurricane going to have the WWE or WCW Cruiserweight belt?
There were a ton of figures shown at comic con that don’t have lineups yet. Christian, Viscera, Ronda, Hurricane, Chyna, Seth, Sting, Rude, etc. When can we expect to figure out where they go?

A cursory search didn't turn this one out yet, but if it's a dupe, I apologize...
...a lot of people seem to have their jimmies rustled over the fact that the next Ringside Exclusive is "just" Sasha Banks and not some more niche or peculiar character as seen in past offerings. Are you able to elaborate a bit on what goes in to what characters are ultimately chosen to be released exclusively through Ringside, and how Sasha was landed on for this particular outing?
I mean, personally it's the first one I'm really considering getting, but I'm still curious.

Any idea if the upcoming Elite Brood Christian will have the proper logos on the side of his tights? And any chance of a black shirt chase variant?  |

any reason legends couldnt be online exclusives? amazon, RSC, WWE.com, etc?
I would think they'd sell much more that way too even. chasing down the 2 whole legend figs that show up at walmart can be tough for 100's looking for them. why make it hard, make money instead!

I mean, personally it's the first one I'm really considering getting, but I'm still curious. We work closely with Ringside to offer exclusive items that will be collector friendly and hopefully sell strongly for them. They’ve been historically heavy hitter characters; HBK, Bret, Hardys, Taker, Shane, Rey, Punk, etc. The only time in recent memory we went a bit more obscure was with Brian Kendrick. |

Once again .. GIANT thanks to ACTION FIGURE ATTACKS for teaching us insight and allowing our passion of the hobby to be expressed and answered. So cool. My question about if there was anybody on the "Naughty list" was obviously implied that WWE would have to approve all and have under a deal first ... I was just wondering with Chynna being available now ... (which I think is great) would there be hope for a classic barefoot Snuka, or Bravo or are there people on the Naughty list that will not be available with licensing or not. That is one curiosity and if can't give names can you give the amount of wrestlers so we can speculate? Again, thanks for all you do. Just FYI ... call me an odd collector but I have a custom OJ Simpson Mcfarlane figure on display for my admiration of him as a football player ... but personally I have no respect for him. I have Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, Bonds, Clemens on display. I have stuff with Pete Rose ... but I am able to differentiate between what they did as an athlete and their indiscretions. My largest collection by far is wrestling not pictured below but massive. Love the legends. THANK YOU! mcfarlane.com/news/mcfarlane-fan-feature-mark-fauser/ |
