If you had the choice, what attire would a Macho Man UE figure be wearing? I won’t say because chances are it’ll eventually happen. Fun tidbit...Macho was originally in Bret Hart’s slot but was bumped out once we locked in Slim Jim Macho Man for SDCC. |

When you do a Macho Man hopefully it’ll be in trunks with the robe. And here’s hoping a surfer Sting is slotted for a spot in 2020.  |

Speaking of Slim Jim Macho, do you find yourself in a situation where you feel there’s no way you can top that exclusive? I’ve given it a lot of thought and can’t think of anything that can be offered that would be better. Maybe Piper from They Live. Possibly Hogan from No Holds Barred. Punk invades SDCC 2011 would also be cool. Even if any of those could be done, I don’t think would top Slim Jim Macho. |

Do you see new molds ever being created for guys such as Kurt Angle or Bill Goldberg? The unique tooling that guys like Mabel get is incredible and and essentially makes them perfect recreations of that character. The existing parts aren't always so perfect for guys like Angle or Goldberg. Any thoughts on a new heavyweight chest or a new less muscular singlet chest? It just comes down to where we want to spend our tooling budget for the year. Just a hypothetical example...do we do a new character like King Mabel who requires new tooling or do we sacrifice including talent like that in favor of updating an already existing man similar body type. Do we tool new similar but more accurate to a specific talent parts or do we tool up new double jointed legs for all female figs? So possible to do but we have to make judgment calls taking the entire picture into account. |

Action Figure Attack Is there any reason why all the flashback Rey's have a modern mask sculpt? I love the flashback's we've gotten, but Rey's mask was different back in WCW. Mainly around the nose area... Would it possible to mold a retro mask sculpt for future releases?

There was no time to tool a new head so we had to use an existing sculpt. That was also his re-debut in the line so we wanted to do a memorable look. Yes, it’s possible to have a new head sculpt for future flashback figs. |

Is there any particular reason that the logo was left off of the side of Gargano's trunks on his recent Elite release?
Not particularly bothersome, just curious, as it does appear elsewhere on the figure.

Is there any reason why we haven’t ever seen an elite Rey Mysterio yet from 2002-06?
Do you think a Smackdown/Raw set would work with current stars and flashback attires from any episode from either show? Could be a good way to have 4 current 2 flashbacks?
Also what’s the chance of Dan Sevren/Hardcore Holly/ Steve Blackman?
Thank you AFA!

Hopefully if we can’t top it we come really close. |

Not so much a question, but how cool is that Wendi Richter is slotted in the line again? So excited for her debut action figure.

With the creation of the Women's Tag titles and so many female pairings now will we be seeing more female Battle Packs? Like Mandy/Sonya, Sasha/Bayley, Alexa/Nikki and Asuka/Kairi.
Do you think it will ever be possible to make a Basic Asuka that would fit the budget in a Basic series?
Are there any Superstars that you guys seem to find yourselves having a difficult time keeping up with because of appearance changes? Whether it be hair, facial hair, tattoos or just the gear in general that they wear being way different.
Any chance of more figures of Mickie James and Maryse?

Thank you again Action Figure Attack for taking the time to answer these questions. I have another one that is more on the business side: What are the feelings around Mattel with Walmart dropping the price of the Elite series down in most of the stores to 15.88? Do you think it's diminishing the value of the series? Has map pricing been mentioned? Or is it more of a "not our company, not our loss" situation since you've been paid? |

ztj_wwf oh, I meant another Crow sting besides that one. I personally want a ‘98 elite with the thicker hall of champions Eddie torso. Action Figure Attack thank you! That would greatly be appreciated! Sting is my favorite of all time. Now if something could be done to modify his boots to make them taller :/ I'd personally like to see a '99 or '00 Crow Sting.   |

If they get signed we’ll try to do them. |

Is it still the same situation using the Mountie name and likeness? I dream of him being on my shelves one day.
