Are there any elites that were made before your time with Mattel that you’d like to revisit to either correct/update?
If William Regal was available to you, which incarnation would you prefer to do next?
Other than the legends series 7 figure, was there any other Sting figures planned? I feel like he had to be on a shortlist for an ultimate.
As always, thanks for letting us do this!

Security guards are a regular part of programming. Have you considered trying to get any out? A lot of wrestlers have been security prior to making to the main roster and others have disguised themselves as security to pull one over on their opponent. This could be a way to do this potential army builder.

Hi Steve. Any updates on the basic 121 Kane mask fix? Or just wait for the next future figure?

I’m going to ask the same question , until I give up hope. Will a matching Adam Cole be made, to complete the camo Undisputed Era? Please say yes. Huge void in my collection.

Has the recent releases made you have to adjust your line up would it mean more obscure guys get figures ? Any talent that we replace are typically of the same popularity level. Like if a main eventer had to be replaced, it’d be with another main eventer.

Do you think the fine folks in Hot Wheels: Monster Trucks would be interested in making this 2-pack? I can't think of a more iconic Monster Truck battle in the history of Monster Trucks. (actually, I don't know of any other Monster Truck battles in the history of Monster Trucks)

hypothetically, if you had the lineup for a future elite series ready and planned, it was literally at the closest point to production possible, then one of the superstars in that lineup gets released and you are told that he/she absolutely cannot be made in it...
is it easier to replace that person with another figure you already had planned in another set, or just leave it out altogether and produce a higher quantity of someone already in that wave

If we can insert a new talent and stay roughly on schedule, that’d be the best course of action. If it would cause a delay, we’d have to just go with one less figure and pack another one more heavily in the case. It’s very important to ensure the waves are hitting when they’re supposed to so retail demands can be fulfilled.

This could be a way to do this potential army builder. I’d love to get some generic world builders or gear for generic characters out. Bill snuck in some ref shirts here and there. Still lots to tap into; security, camera crew, refs from different eras, etc.

I feel like he had to be on a shortlist for an ultimate. As always, thanks for letting us do this! I think I’ve answered this before but I’d love to see an Ultimate execution of the DM WM 7 Macho Man. Not because that figure wasn’t a masterpiece but it’s such a significant look, it deserves the Ultimate treatment. Maybe even that Warrior also. I’d like to see an NXT GM Regal. Long overdue. While we didn’t start actual development on them, Sting would have had at least two Ultimates if not more as time went by. It’s disappointing it didn’t work out but I’m sure my buddy Magic will make some killer Sting figs.

Hi Steve, Hope you're well. I've noticed since Ultimate Hollywood Hulk Hogan and Series 9 have been released, you've added butterfly joints to the figures, will this continue with future Ultimate Edition figures (Mainline and Fan TakeOver) or will certain superstars in the line have butterfly joints? While there may be rare exceptions here and there, we are planning to have all Ultimates who have non-swappable arms utilizing the butterfly shoulders. Still trying to work out the kinks on doing butterfly shoulders with swappable arms.

I know the spiel about talent needing to be signed to a deal to be considered for a figure, but have any of you considered Todd Pettengill given his appearances at both NXT In Your House shows? Spitballin' with that proposition, could a two pack of Todd and Dok Hendrix with IYH inspired packaging be feasible? New Gen needs that bit of love too. On that note, hope all's well bud! While a special two pack probably wouldn’t get the retail support needed to go through, I wouldn’t hesitate on either in general. It’s just finding the right spot for them and in Todd’s case, having figure rights.

What’s up with no updated Gulak for four years? We need a bearded Power Point Presenter. Even a basic.
