Distribution in Canada has been a lot stronger over the last number of months than it ever was previously. Can this be attributed to anything in particular, and can we expect it to continue in the near future? Glad things are better for you. Not sure of the specifics of what you’re seeing exactly but hopefully this momentum continues. |

How soon after a big indie name signs to NXT do you typically try to get them scanned and get to work on a figure? Do you ever get a heads up that someone is coming to the wwe before they report? Can’t wait to see a Swerve figure hopefully in the next 1-2 years!

There’s a core WWE team across marketing, design, packaging & development. Only 2 or 3 team members have duties on other brands. There’s a larger support team at Mattel as well who handle logistics for the various brands including WWE. Our Basic designer works exclusively on WWE as does Bill with Elites and Ultimates. Is Bill Kerner still working on the line? You know, I've been wanting to ask this for YEARS but never did. Hope Bill K bkbrawler is doing well. Really like that guy. |

If someone is heating up we can reshuffle things and get them out a tad quicker. |

Action Figure Attack A few questions. Will there be an increase of NXT guys in the basic line? Now that the universal championship is Blue, do you have time to add it to the upcoming Fiend Elite? Any update on War/Viking Raiders? Battlepack or elites? Thank you You’ll probably see them included in Basics a tad more. I don’t think it’s possible to include the blue Universal title with the Fiend’s debut Elite. We’re already pushing to get that out as quickly as possible. No comment on unannounced figs. You’ll have to stay tuned to future reveals. |

Will the Target Royal Rumble & Survivor series Wal-Mart elites continue? So many possibilities for stars & attires.

Hi AFA/Steve, I remember seeing a photo of Trish Stratus and Lita with their recent attire (Royal Rumble 2018) any idea what line/when these action figures will be released?

If Barry Darsow is signed and available for a figure, would there be a chance at a Repo Man ?

Is there a chance that future headscans on single head Elites can be designed like the current interchangeable ones?
So if someone bought 2 different Seth Rollins Elites with different heads, they could easily swap them around instead of having to heat them up first.

1.) if it was something like a Ringside exclusive. Could you get away with doing a non-WWE attire for a wrestler? ie; Samoa Joe in biker shorts look from ROH/TNA? (i mean im pretty sure nxt takeover series nakamura was a straight up indy/new japan attire)
2.) Since it was a WCW gimmick. And afaik, WWE owns everything WCW. And since its not really tied to a persons likeness or name. Could you in theory make a "Yeti"??

I know some lines have there run and are done with and on the next thing. Is there any possibility you guys could keep the “Big Four” SS, SS, Rumble and Mania as permanent lines?. |

Action Figure Attack have you guys ever considered doing a “last Raw appearance” Warrior with suit, duster and removable mask? If never considered in the past, is it possible that this is an option in the future? Maybe as a Ringside exclusive? Thanks in advance!

Even if they get put on hold, they can always come back when the time is right. |

We need the actual performer under a deal to do figures. |
