Will Warlord be available on Ringside as well like other exclusives have or is it only gonna be available at Walmart? Don’t know really. These seem to be murky lately and case by case basis.

Hi Steve, I was wondering what you thought of this for an Elite 2-Pack? - the moment Macho Man introduces the world to Miss Elizabeth for the first time. Very iconic moment for sure. It’d be great to have it represented it fig form if possible.

Can we get Big John Studd in the retros line? He absolutely makes sense for that line.

Steve,
I want to compliment you profusely on:
1. Being here and answering our questions. 2. Having the coolest scale sized life like articulated figures in the business! That is saying a lot! 3. By far the best wrestling line of all time ... the elites! 4. Showing cool reveals.
My question
As a long time passionate collector who feels it is important to have recycled figures in different forms for both current and legends and New figures that air now. I also feel it is very important to get NEW first time in the lineup Legends! I know you are at WWE's mercy to sign ... but is there anything I can do as a collector to respectfully write them or encourage this? I'm not getting any younger and I truly hope Mattel can perform their magic on more WWE, WCW legends from the 70's, 80's and 90's.
I would almost consider Harley Race a first time in the line figure since it was so rare. Any hope for him again? I know you said you would like to ... but hoping he is still signed? Thank you again

Seeing that the latest Royal Rumble wave is available for preorder on two major online retailers sites, has Target dropped the line? Is there a backstory to this wave that you can share?

For the Target preorders, Cena/Vader say 4/25 and DDP/Beefcake say 7/5. Obviously, anything can (and probably will) happen with the preorders, but do you know which date seems more accurate? Both dates are correct. DDP and Beefcake were produced a bit later. Cena and Vader will hit first.

Is the Hulk Rules shirt coming with SvS Hogan cloth or plastic? If cloth will it be velcro in the front like the UE Hollywood, velcro in back like most, or a pullover like UE Austin? If plastic will it have that slit down the front like the previous Hogan figs?

First off: Thanks for the Retro relaunch. Looking back at all the questions in this thread considering Retros, I really don’t want to play poker with you. I really had no idea they were this close to being restarted. Question 1: Will Retros share parts with MOTWWEU figures such as headsculpts or accessories? Same for Elites/Basics. I always enjoyed adding stuff to my Retro figures. AJ Styles for example has an Elite head and the matching vest, which is really upgrading the overall figure. Question 2: Imperium? Are they on top of your todo list or rather down? As of now, there’s no part sharing between Retros and other lines other than select accessories like Elias’s guitar. Could that change if needed at some point? Maybe. I could see MOTU heads being compatible potentially but there’s no plan to do that. Imperium is on the radar with other notable first time in the line possibilities. Can’t say who’s at the top of the list though.

With Warlord in his tag attire (Powers of Pain), any chance we'll see his tag partner -- Barbarian -- any time soon? See all previous Legends request questions. If we can we will.

Hi Steve, Great reveals as always ☺️ I’m so happy we’re getting SS Carmella, especially since we have the Charlotte and Becky from that match already. Love the cloth entrance pants as well! One thing I noticed is the paint deco on her chest doesn’t cover the mold so if you look at her collar bone area downwards she has noticeable skin colour straps. Is that just the one shown or will it be on the final figure? Don’t know honestly. I’ve only seen those photos really like you guys. We have typically tried to match deco to the straps.

I can’t really share much but keep in mind this is a fast moving business in challenging times. Sometimes plans have to be adjusted quickly. Target still fully supports this line and it’ll continue in 2022.

Thank you again Appreciate the kind words as always. I’m not sure you writing WWE would help but thank you for the passion. They are working hard on managing their Legends roster and are aware the various talents requests. We’ve been chipping away at it and will continue to do so.

If plastic will it have that slit down the front like the previous Hogan figs? Soft goods. I’m assuming rip/Velcro on the front. Haven’t seen a sample yet.

Powers of Pain Warlord came out awesome Thanks for the extra head with Santos will need 2 so I can have him displayed as Fantasma the 2 in 1 Sid is nice to represent the WCW Horsemen look if he sells well is an ECW Sid in jeans doable in the future barring he is still under contract What was bill more excited about designing Asuka or ECW Cactus Would Adam Pearce be a possibility in the future? Bill is actually very conservative with his fandom of Asuka bleeding into work. She hasn’t even had that many figures. If Sid and Adam have fig deals going forward, then very possible for both. I’d rather get an Elite Sid Justice in ring gear out before a jeans version though though but that’s just my preference. Steve, I'm really curious why elite sid justice isnt this two in one figure. The sid vicious gear doesn't make sense if it is marketed as sid justice. Any background why that decision was made?

Any chance you can clarify if the flashback HHH has metallic paint? I know you said at one point you were working on it, but from the photos it looks like a standard base color.
And if not, is metallic paint really that much more costly? Not sure if that's something you can reveal, but it seems like it's used pretty infrequently in the line, while other figure lines at the price point are able to use metallics pretty regularly. Is it just a matter of design preference?

Is it just a matter of design preference? The plastic and color is metallic. It does seem to come across better on the red version though in this instance. There have actually been a few basics that have used metallic paint or plastic lately that look really nice like Toni Storm.
