I fell in love with wrestling during the Mega-Powers storyline. I had liked it previously but that storyline got me totally hooked. My dad would take me to shows at the old Philadelphia Spectrum every month. My fandom never waned. I’m from North Philly & my dad would take me & my older sister to the Spectrum to see all the wrestling events. Great times! Epic time and great area to grow up as a fan. |

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....🤗😀 They’d need swappable heads for the masked look. That’s the only thing I’m certain of. Anything else would be dependent on design choices and balancing their cost within their wave. Would absolutely love to see these one day. Interchangeable heads would be epic. |

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 I want the Basic Hurricane as an Elite. I would have released Tugboat with swappable heads. The toot head from Shockmaster as the second head. Elite 16 Rock with better goatee.Even though it’s a newer fig, I want classic Vince shorter. That would be awesome! I wanted that Rock because he had the unique trunks (from SVS '11) with the Brahma Bull on the front, but the goatee put me off. Maybe that could work for next year's Survivor Series set (if there is one)? |

AFA, How do you feel about doing a Rick Steiner figure regardless of his brother?
I’d love a singles elite Rick Steiner

With the increasing attention based on funded online releases (such as Hasbro getting the Jabbas barge released as well as Neca currently getting funded projects released thru the Loot Crate license) is there any discussion being tossed around at potentially doing this with any Mattel WWE product?
Obviously, this is not fitting into the mold of the brick and mortar centric gameplan you guys are doing (and have to do) but is there any research or attention being given to the concept at all?

Spoke on this a bit earlier tonight. It’d be a great outlet for certain items for sure. |

whats up with the Purple used on some of the figures.
Specifically Razor Ramon DM and RSC Macho King. In promo pics. With a nice camera and flash photography. They certainly look purple. But when you get the figure in hand their attires were fuschia. More pink than purple. Any chance these get revisted and done in the correct color? (is it known that the colors came out wrong? or is that just par for the course with using purple?)
Defining Moments Macho Man (headband/robe) was sold as being a WrestleMania 3 Macho Man. But its clearly not. Bill even called it a WM 3 macho i think in a video. It was the pale purple trunks from WM 4 match vs. Butch Reed.
So is it known behind the scenes that they still haven't released a WM 3 Macho? And thats something still on the "to do list". Or is that checked off and done as far as design team is concerned?

The Rick Steiner is one of my favorite Jakks figures. Definitely one of my Top 3 Jakks figures for sure. Just wish the old school Scott was released. |

Thanks It's already been confirmed (I think even in this thread) that Hurricane is the chase figure in that series but we don't know the attire yet. |

When you say “WWE says this” or “WWE says that”....what actual department within WWE works with Mattel? If there is a factory error or something along those lines...does Mattel get “credit”? As in, does it screw up the budget of a line or a department because Corbin has hair (just an example) when he wasn’t meant to? Not sure how to make that more clear right now. Basically if someone else makes an error, can it directly effect the figure line/future series even though it wasn’t your team’s fault? What got you into wrestling? Do you attend shows? We predominantly work with WWE CPG (Consumer Packaged Goods). Factory errors are of course a hassle and can potentially cause a domino effect of problems. Can’t get into specifics beyond that. I fell in love with wrestling during the Mega-Powers storyline. I had liked it previously but that storyline got me totally hooked. My dad would take me to shows at the old Philadelphia Spectrum every month. My fandom never waned. That’s why you are such a stand up guy, you’re from Philly (the area at least)!  |

With Nelson Frazier Jr. available to you now (Mabel is one of my all-time favourite figs you guys have done) and Ministry Viscera on the way - is there any chance we could get The World's Largest Love Machine down the road? With soft goods robe? Pretty please?   |

Is there a reason we haven't had a Brock Lesnar in track pants yet?
I mean that's what he's wearing 90% of the time we see him. We've had basics in his shorts with a shirt, but he doesn't wear them together

Would the Truth Commission ever be able to be made into figures (assuming if you had the rights), or would the political nature of the gimmick make them an automatic no-go?
