Hi Steve, not sure if you can answer this or not but there seems to be some sort of distribution issue in Australia. We only received half of elite 92 (flair, fiend and adam cole) while no sign of the other 3 at retail, we have now started receiving elite 93 and only have 4 of the 6 (no cesaro or racquel) any ideas why this could be?

Do you ever watch WWE and see guys come out in new awesome attires (Usos at MITB for example) and your immediate reaction is something along the lines of “dammit we just made the USOs?” Those bloodline attires are amazing!

Hi Steve, I know you can't give specific details about the next crowdfund. But can you at least tell us when we should expect it to be announced. Like will it be before SDCC like last year. I think that with the rising inflation issues and overall cost of living increase. A lot of people would like more time to plan ahead for this. Like I know a lot of people had an issue with the backing/charge date being in August last year. Which for most is back to school time for their kids. Also, will it be the same format as last year with 30 days to back or could it be longer like 60 days this time. Thanks for any information you can provide we do appreciate it.

Looks like they took cases with those talent excluded unfortunately. I’m working with the Mattel Creations team to make available as much as possible to help fill in the gaps.

Of course. I was here at the show and texting Bill B, Bill M and Rob similar thoughts. Never hurts to have tons of great source material to choose from though.

Hello Steve. So is that upcoming Jimmy Uso figure really Jimmy, or is it accidently Jey? Also, with the thinning out of the main roster talent, will that mean more opportunities to involve even more Legends (maybe more first time to line ones)? Thank you.

Assuming the rumours about the era/look of Hogan Elite 96 are correct - please can we have a Hulk Rules vest without the Velcro down the middle this time? I know you’ve said you have fought for this on previous hogans and you probably can’t answer this before elite 96 is revealed but I wanted to ask again at the earliest opportunity. We get the Velcro gimmick but particularly with Hulk Rules on the front, it kind of kills the look as it doesn’t really line up. I absolutely personally want each major Hulk shirt released without the velcrIt won’t be on this upcoming figure though. Can you look at the bandana's from those era's too Steve? Hulk Rules bandana Summerslam 90. Python Power from early 1991. Hulkster from Summerslam 91 til WM8. And the Hulk Hogan vest with the Stars and stripes between the names from WM8

I’m glad the Jake is getting re-released. Never saw that wave at Walmart and wasn’t willing to pay the inflated eBay prices. One of my favorite Snake attires! Doing this opens up the door for a lot of cool upgrades. Hoping it sells as well as the positive reactions indicate. CAn it continue to focus more on these ones like JAKE that had terrible releases, rather than those that were released 10 years ago but were plentiful at the time. Royal Rumble 2020 Macho and Lita, King Harley /Commissioner Shawn Michaels series, some of the decade of domination ones come to mind

Royal Rumble 2020 Macho and Lita, King Harley /Commissioner Shawn Michaels series, some of the decade of domination ones come to mind The strategy is going to stay the same with a mix of older viable looks plus figures that may have been harder to find in their first runs. There’s a constant flow of collectors getting in and out of the hobby so just because a figure was plentiful at one time doesn’t mean it’s fairly accessible now. Making those older looks available again let's new collectors easily get into the hobby thus making the line healthier allowing us to do even more and push the limits. The upgrades let existing collectors add a better versions of the figure to their collections if they choose.

I seem to remember you mentioning the possibility of basics heads potentially becoming removable like the Elite heads. Is there any update on this becoming reality or was I dreaming?
Also, love the idea of the Greatest Hits series. Can't wait to see pictures of them soon.

Would something like an accessory pack ever work at RSC again?
We saw the belt packs but what about something like a collection of Hogan Shirts or Cena Shirts/Hats/Armbands? Would that be something you guys wouldn’t do since it limits rerelease or future release potential like the recent Top Picks Cena

Who are some names that were under contract before your time that you wish you would have gotten a shot at? Any attire changes you would had made if you were around for them?

Is there any chance of an Ultimate Edition Chyna figure? I know her last 2 Elites don't seem to be flying of the shelves (😞) - but I really think she is worthy of having an UE figure... Maybe something like this with removable soft-goods gear (and black gear underneath) plus an extra head would be great!
