Steve,
Good to see you back. I know this isn't really your department but the handling of decade of domination pre-orders by Walmart has been shameful at best. I pre ordered undertaker in April. I have had my ship date moved twice now to the last day of October at last email. Since, I have heard about some people getting figures shipped, others cancelled outright, and people being able to preorder the figures now on the website and having them ship well before people who pre-ordered in april like me. I've also heard about shipments being made in envelopes where the packaging comes badly damaged. People are mentioning leaving collecting over this and I've never been more frustrated trying to get a single figure.
Is this something you can address or at least direct to the right department at mattel? This is not fanboys complaining and is more of just good business practices.

Knowing you can’t name anyone, but now that the concussion lawsuit is over, have any of those legends involved in the lawsuit now been made available to you? I’m not specifically only asking about first time in the line but all the legends that were previously unavailable?

Do you know which of Ellering’s parts are being packed with each figure in the WM BAF line?

Is the Pink & White Keith Lee elite we saw renders of the Chase or Regular? Asking due to RSC not putting up pics of it for Keith Lees figure page.

Can Stone Cold elites be made a little beefier? His elite arms don’t have any definition and he had bigger thighs as well. The arms and thighs on E32 Cody Rhodes would look much better on him imo

Are there any updates on whether there is still a chance to get a Kabuki Warrior Kairi? She announced that shes still with WWE.

With the addition of Amazon exclusive to the Ultimates, will that change or influence the current ‘main’ line formula? For instance is there a chance we could see 2 flashbacks as part of a series (or current superstars) or is the intention to keep the current one current and one legends in the Ultimates? Pleased to see another new way to get Ultimate Edition figures out, hoping we might see Tag Teams into the future. Should LOD ever become available they have Ultimates written all over them...(As does Demolition etc.) Keep up the great work.. (P.S... any idea when the next IG live unboxing / Q&A might be?) Cheers and thanks as always Thanks a lot! We’ll deviate from the “formula” when needed. It’s a guide at this point and not hard rule. I think LOD and Demolition would make for amazing Ultimate Edition figs. Who knows what the future holds. It’s a wild business. Going live tonight at 8:30 EST/5:30 PST actually.

Can we get another release of the purple strap IC title someday? Maybe with a SS98 Triple H? They used it up to Chyna’s 1st reign so anyone between Rock’s 2nd reign & her 1st could come with it

What was the thought process on including the Nitro shirt with Bret/Goldberg? I don’t recall either of them or anyone else ever wearing it. I get not wanting to do a generic jersey for Bret but why not a silver and black nWo or Goldberg tribal tattoo shirt?

Any chance of the 1st euro continental champion D lo brown. ?
I feel like his nation attire is good but that look his double champion is more iconic and his peak of his career

Hello Steve. First of all I am very thankful for the work that you and your co-workers put in to making amazing action figures for adult collectors and kids like me. During these times of COVID it is very hard to get to the store. My question is will British Bulldog be on Ringside collectibles with the rest of elite series 82? Other collectors editions have been put on there from 77-81 minus the special edition undertaker. Also the Keith lee chase variant is not on the website with the rest of the figures. Will these figures be available on the website or was the exclusives being on ringside just a special for quarantine? Thank you so much. Love all of your work for these amazing figures. Also two more questions, when will images of elite 81 come out and any ric flair figures in production? Thank you Steve

Hi Steve,
I know the usual answer is “spreadsheets,” but the arms and shoulders on the Matt Riddle elite are terrible part choices. Can we get any answers on if they will be updated with his next elite figure? To me things like that are mind blowing that they get past design and development.

Hey Steve, I was just wondering if you know how/why Smyths in the UK got Elite 79 Collector's Edition and none others before it? Will they be getting collectors editions going forward or was it a one-off/mistake?

A word to members posting in this thread... and to some specific ones in particular.
Unless a post is not a question, it's staying put as long as it's on topic. The only one to "judge" the worthiness of a question to be answered is Steve himself. Not any else here. If you take issue with that I suggest you not come to view this thread. He is the only one that will choose which questions to answer and when, if at all. If Steve and only Steve has any issues where he further wants me to monitor this thread for specific questions only, he knows he can always come to me for that or anything else.
Remember that Steve has a job with a huge responsibility. He has a life off of this site just as the rest of us. He does us a huge service and favor on his own time by choosing to answer our questions.
Thanks! JS

AFA, thanks for all you do my brother. I am not going to ask you for Hercules, but can you give some indication as to why he is consistently on the high demand list but is never produced. I know Legends deal, etc. Is his family on the outs with Vince, any other extenuating circumstance that would lead him not to be made.
Also, what would YOUR attire choice be.
I would go with baby blue tights, red lightning bolt in fist, and chain and cuffs...
