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? Have a feeling that they'll never get signed because of how obscure the wrestlers in the group were. But great idea for a fairly easy custom that I might look into. Finding a beret would probably be the hardest part.

Finding a beret would probably be the hardest part. Not all were obscure. Bull Buchanan, Mantaur, Jackyl, and Kurgan I can see possibly getting deals. That said, all those mentioned I’d rather see Oddities Kurgan and Jackyl before Truth Commission.

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? There’s seems to be a discrepancy in some PMS colors called out on the deco sheets and how that color actually turns out in plastic. I’m aware and will try to bring it up when figs using purple are in the pipeline. There’s no reason those figs couldn’t be revisited at some point but they are further down the priority list.

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? Would love to get more versions of Nelson out. Depends on his ongoing availability to us.

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 There have been and there will be again.

Any chance a variant Berzerker ever sees the light of day? I'd love to see him in his brown tunic.
From your standpoint, what do you think has prevented guys like Hercules and Adrian Adonis from having new action figures made over the last 20 years? Are they not marketable enough?

Have there been any recent discussions about throwback playsets? Funeral Parlor, Piper’s Pit, The Barbershop, etc? Any discussion of making pixelated figures (8/16/32bit) Something similar to these: Of course. Talk of playsets, different form factors, deco executions. We’re fans just like you and a few of us are super fans. There are only so many realistically doable items that can go forward at a time though. The awesome ideas are really endless. This would make a great Funeral Parlor Set: First time Hogan and Flair met face-to-face on TV. 6 HOF's, 2 Caskets, 2 World Titles, and the Funeral Parlor Set. If not, any chance that that Piper and Savage could be made?

If not, any chance that that Piper and Savage could be made? They set would be fun but highly unlikely a retailer would take it. The individual figs are of course possible. Once again, if the talent is under a deal and there are no legal issues with their gear it’s possible. The options are really endless.

Unlikely but not impossible given he remained available to us. I’m surprised Jakks didn’t do at least Hercules. Maybe they would have given more time. When they deals are signed, whoever signs the deal needs a return on their investment. When you get to more obscure talent, the likelihood decrease of that happening. While I’d love a Mattel Adrian Adonis fig, it would take demand for multiple products featuring Adrian to make it worthwhile and that demand really isn’t there. This doesn’t rule out a fig from ever happening. It just makes things more difficult and take a lot longer.

You could probably pack everything as accessories to one of his elites. Do a suited Miz, 2 director chairs, a couple of mics with the upside down WWE logo, and a black ring mat.

Oh man, that's like the exact Piper I want. Put an IC Title on that bad boy and let's make it happen!

Now that an Elite Hurricane is on the way, would there ever be a chance of making Rosey down the line?

Since Mattel took over the line and started making Piper and Savage figures, those have been two of my top attire wants. Piper with an IC belt would be awesome: Maybe throw in this extra shirt if possible:
