Are the ECW titles that share the same design as WWE belts possible? Like the winged eagle TV title or the IC-style tag belts. Was the TV explored with Bam Bam?

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. Any way you can say for sure that a different female talent/manager from the 80s or 90s will see a release before another Liz? Not necessarily a first time in the line, perhaps a different representation of a talent already released. Possibly also associated with Savage.

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? He was originally being developed as WCW Sid Vicious for a different wave. We were trying to think of a fun accessory and came up with the removable ref gear to make it a 2-in-1. We then had a quick lineup adjustment and needed to fill the SummerSlam slot so we decided to move Sid here but reverse the pack-out to make Sid Justice the focal point version. I’ll be honest, we disagree on this making sense as it’s meant to be a 2-in-1 figure and from the feedback it seems like the majority of people are happy with this. I’m thinking you simply want a straight up Sid Justice. That’d be my next choice personally when it’s time to revisit Sid.

Yes, I want straight up light blue yellow perm mullet sid justice whenever you can revisit it. Hulk with authentic tan and crazy eyes, retro mean gene, big john studd with robe, powers Warlord with gear, cream of crop macho, colonel mustafa, the new motwu line. You made a golden era collector very very happy. Quick question. Is big john studd the same figure as the heenan family box set? Is it possibly to get the hair blonder? I assume this is based on the 89 face run?

New knee pads please? Literally no one likes the ones we get on almost every figure now.
Or make them with softer material?

I assume this is based on the 89 face run? Granted, this is being a bit nit-picky, any chance the stars on his trunks can be changed to red? In the few matches from his return in 1989 he was always wearing the red stars. This would make the figure a little different from the 4pack release. If not, no biggie.

Any consideration of doing another Lost Legends type set of old figures being modernized with TrueFX and swap hands/heads?

Hey Steve. So we were told that Retros would return when the time was right. Well here we are! Can you explain as much as your allowed to do so what makes now the right time? Bill said the "nut" was cracked and was just wondering what hurdles you guys were able to overcome that allowed Retros to return. I think this would help collectors understand what is going to be different this time around and what to expect in the future. Thank you!

I’d rather not replace any existing lines or use those slots to eliminate the potential for something new and exciting. I’d prefer to just keep sprinkling in updates like we’ve been doing.

Is there going to be a SDCC exclusive? Will it be a legend?

Is there going to be a push in 2021 - beyond to make the Collectors Edition elites more obtainable? like, getting retailers to order a case of them, instead of mixed in? The Elite 79 Undertaker and Elite 69 Rock were amazing and easy to obtain

Perhaps making a repaint and making the chase a reissue? Like making a Nash with the E16 parts in a new attire, but the chase of the set is the original E16 attire?

I got three...
1) Will the Ultimate WM9 Hogan have white tape painted under his yellow wrist sweatbands?
2) Will the upcoming Hogans be "tanner" like in the pics or similar to how they've been previously?
3) Is there a chance the men will get similar knee braces like the Tegan Nox & Dakota Kia Basics have? I put one on a Triple H and I love them.

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.
Steve -- surprised to hear you say that it's murky even for you if limited edition figure will be exclusive to Target/Walmart -- or also available on RSC.
If you're not helping make those decisions -- who is? Is it a decision solely for Target/Walmart or a negotiation between retailers and RSC?
Also -- I know it's on your radar, but any way for us to communicate a Retro wish list to the team?

Would something like a Black & White figures "Paid for by the NWO" elite 3 pack (Hogan, Hall, Nash) ever be possible or is that too outside the box? I would think the packaging would be pretty cool too.
I would imagine something like that would only fit in a spot for SDCC which would probably limit/make it impossible to ever release in the current retail environment?

Hi Steve if Val Venis was to get made would it be possible to do a 2 in 1 with short hair to cover his 2000 & 2002 looks?
