You had the hand-painted pre-production versions of UE Brock and Shawn at Ringside Fest, will we see those again at Toy Fair in February or will those ones be actual production samples given that TF is in February and those are expected to release in the spring? Not sure but whatever we show next will be further along. They’ll hit early next year.

Any chance of us getting another Elite Wolfpack Sting? It would be awesome to get one with wrist tape and the hall of champions Eddie torso.

What do you guys do with prototypes and first figures you get back? Do you get to keep them in your collections? Offices?

Please don't say "get to it in time." You'll freak all us Big Stingers out over not having 50 Sting figures in our collection ;-)
For us Legends collectors, has WWE been harder in signing off on certain promotions/eras in terms of cranking out say 80s NWA figures and they want more 80s WWF guys?

Has Mattel explored the idea of ‘loot launcher’ in the past? And if not, is this something that could be looked into. Basically risk free for you guys and might be a great way to try and get an obscure (Gooker 😜) figure out... might also be a great way to re-introduce the Legends line? I know other company’s (NECA) are doing it and it seems that it calls out ‘fans’ to put their money where their mouth is...
PS... the comments re: Legends line and collectors having a ‘Jakks Hangover’ are on the money. The line sells like hot cakes today.
Also, can you give a brother a follow-back on Insta? @hit_daWarriorDemon_man (you don’t get if you don’t ask 👍)
Thanks as always for your ongoing interaction... you may have saved the boards!!!

Well I can’t talk about anything unannounced or commit to every constant request so....those are the answers you’re gonna get. Lol! They’ve been easy to work with in that regards. Including talent from different eras and territories is doable as long as they’re placed in balanced waves. As far as 80s NWA specifically, there’s just not that many Legends available to us at the moment from that time period of the NWA.

Hi AFA, my collection is a little niche aside from my Ultimate Warrior collection, I focus on WWE champions in the attires that they first won their first title in. I’m doing okay especially with the new Big Show, Kane/undertaker exclusive and the UE Triple H but I’m surprised how we haven’t had The Rock as an Elite in his red Accent trunks. Has this just slipped through the net or, like Triple H - could we be seeing this as an UE sometime soon!? 😉
The other one is Bret when he first won the title in Saskatoon against flair. There is a great moment at the end where he pulls down his singlet to celebrate. Do you think we could ever get a soft singlet for this figure? It would be pretty unique compared to his other figures
Thanks! .

1/ Can we look at a Colonel Mustafa figure ASAP before you lose the rights to Sheik please? We’ve had four Sheiks so far and no Mustafa. ☹️
2/ Is the Paul Ellering figure dead in the water? Can it be rescued somehow if so?
3/ Will there be a 2002 NWO elite style Nash to match the Hall you did?
Thanks in advance for any answers and doing this for us collectors. 👍🏻

I'd take this as a basic (without the jacket) if we couldn't get another Elite.

Agreed, I'd like a triangle of terror in their entrance gear:

Have you ever thought about going back in early Elite series and re-doing a figure to either improve it or change something you didn't particularly like about it? (I know you weren't on the team then, but I'm sure you see and know about every elite ever right? lol)
and if so, who & what would you do?
for me an example would be I'd love to re-do the Elite 12 Daniel Bryan, get rid of that awful head and give him a more realistic look, with one of his cool looking entrance jackets

Any chance you guys will take another shot at Barry Windham? Perhaps with his hair down and a swappable Four Horsemen hand?

AFA,hypothetically speaking, if the Killer Bees were to ever be made, how would you guys do it? Soft goods jacket? Masks similar to Andrade elite 74? Black tube socks with generic Air Jordans' look? Just wondering....🤗😀

Thanks in advance for any answers and doing this for us collectors. 👍🏻 As far as the Ellering, Action Figure Attack has stated they are trying but "not in the cards just yet". Any chance you guys will take another shot at Barry Windham? Perhaps with his hair down and a swappable Four Horsemen hand? As quoted from Action Figure Attack on another Windham, "We’ll try to revisit whoever we can if they’re a compelling option and they’re under contract."
