That figure was the best figure in that assortment. It was a shame to see it pegwarmers. I think that wave was just overproduced. We’d be more cautious with him if ever revisited. I remember talking to a target employee and him telling me they were getting revised cases with some elite 33 and another set( can’t remember). He opened one of these revised cases right in front of me and it has 4 JYD’s in it. We both agreed there was no way all of um were gonna sell even though it was a great figure. So good that it was one of the few I pre ordered off of RSC. I wonder how many of those 4 JYD cases were sent to stores... |

are you allowed to make unmasked Rey from WCW Filthy Animals era? Is Fake Diesel allowed to be made? (i ask because these seem like things WWE might shoot down) Does RSC Undertaker as Kane...count as the Kane elite for the next year? As in its felt behind the scenes that you dont need another Kane for awhile. Or does that strictly count as an Undertaker figure and another Kane elite can still be made no problem? Not sure about unmasked Rey and Fake Diesel. We’d have to submit for approval once we realistically had slot them slotted in. For Kane and Taker, we could probably do more if business warranted but we would like to give some space so Ringside’s could have the spotlight.. |

Was Booker T for the WM 36 elites chosen specifically to go with the WM 19 Triple H that was previously released? The figure looks great. But seemed like an odd choice to do yet another Booker in white trunks, when he's worn other colors that haven't been done yet. its been said that one of the reasons we finally got a referee, was that Danny Davis was a wrestler. Does that mean; A) that a Danny Davis in his ring gear is possible? B) Charles Robinson as our modern referee figure is a possibility? (since he did wrestle in WCW) Booker was chosen to go with Triple H plus we wanted to get an Elite out with his shorter hair. Wrestler Danny Davis is possible as long as he remained available to us. Danny Davis is under a Legends deal. Charles Robinson is not. |

While I knew King Mabel would be popular because of pent up demand and it’s a killer fig, his reception has far exceeded those expectations. Word! I was blown away by that as well. Overall in my return to this hobby (affliction), I'm floored by how much obsessive nostalgia dictates peoples' figure-buying games, even to the point of making historical embarrassments and bit players hot sellers. When I was playing with the almost useless, crappy Hasbro WWF figures as a kid, I consciously longed for figures I could actually make, you know, wrestle and do moves, as well as for all wrestlers to be as exciting in the ring as The Rockers and Randy Savage. That day has come along in full force now, so while I'm glad to have new representations of the few favorites from my youth that are still worthy of respect, I'm even more appreciative of the younger, more exciting guys doing things I could've never imagined. That brings me to the question I was leading toward with my original one...Did you guys see the Pete Dunne demand coming? That Chicago Takeover match between him and Tyler Bate, and my resulting obsession to own a plastic version of each, is what got me back in the game after being out for about 15 years. HUGE props for getting another version of him in the line so quickly. Aleister Black too. I'll look forward to having 2 versions of each. I think as a long time fans, we can see when someone is heating up and resonating with the people. When doing lineups, I not only try to include who’s hot at the moment but try to be forward thinking of who will be hot when these figures actually hit shelves. We do our best to make educated bets on talent and it’s been working out well for the most part this year. |

Is there any way we can get Kevin Nash with his WCW Oz gimmick with cape and mask?

Weasel suit Heenan was one of the Fan Central vote options. If that got chosen or if it ends up getting made would it be a molded suit or a cloth suit over wrestling attire?

you guys pretty much already did a No Holds Barred version of Hogan, with the RSC exclusive.
But ofc it had the American Made shirt.
Do you have the rights to the No HOlds Barred designs? Like could u make a Rip'Em shirt with a Hogan figure if/when u get hogan back

When you make an Andre with a molded singlet would you be including the WM3 ring cart with it as an accessory?

It never made it to TV (but neither did the yellow winged eagle with Legends Warrior).
WWE has had it on display at Axxess and its made it into some of the WWE videogames.

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? Love the look of that Macho Man outfit - anyone remember did he ever wrestle in it? To my knowledge, no. At least not televised anyway. I believe he did do some interviews in the attire, or something similar. I found this pic of him with NY Giants linebacker Carl Banks where he's wearing the attire (maybe not the pants, they look a little different).  |

The obscure talent as SDCC exclusives was never really successful but we’ve finally found the right type of offering for the SDCC audience. |
