It's already been hinted at in this thread that Storm Collectibles' deal with Hogan is preventing Mattel from making Hogan figures. |

Do a Rock vs Austin set from WM15!!! It’s crazy to me they’ve only had one 2-pack and it was a basic set w/ a kid belt at the very beginning of the line edge and cena unforgiven 2 pack would be better!! I'm holding out hope that cena from that particular era is the Ultimate we wind up getting. Still wild to me how that belt pack was the only Mattel version of that Cena attire. |

Hi Steve, There was a rumor a year or so ago that someone spotted a Marlena/Goldust Battlepack on Brickseek. Was there ever any truth to this being planned? If so, and if Ms. Runnels is still signed, what are the chances of doing an Elite with her as Terri Runnels but add a cloth Golden Dress and cigar and she can be marketed as Marlena? (ala Sensational Sherri with her dress) Thank you! Yes, I had it penciled in. Twice actually. Just wasn’t in the cards. Not sure if a single fig is possible or not. Do the powers that be think she won’t sell enough by herself? I’ve always wanted an updated Mattel version of her as well as Jacqueline and Luna Vachon. Are there plans to explore more outfits with Chyna? I think the figure will be a hit. Maybe her Armageddon Peacock outfit? Or her outfit from the Playboy cover/WWE 2K20 |

Can you tell us some figures that were slated to be made and didn't come out for one reason or another? We have in the past seen protos of Michael Tarver & One Man Gang, and have seen SDCC renders of Hollywood Hogan, but are there other figures you can tell us that we once had our chance at getting? Touched on this briefly before. Since I started, we’ve rescued most of the doable “lost” figures. FB Harley (hopefully to be double rescued), FB Jake, Head sculpt on RetroFest Duggan, RR Lita, NS Wendi, NS Asuka, NS Jinder and more all rescued figs. But there are a few more that we won’t ever see for various reasons. Can’t give specifics out on those though. Sorry. |

Yes, unless something unforeseen happens, there will be quite a few more Chyna figures. |

Any plans for any new figure rings in 2020 with updated graphics ? Like the standalone basic ring or a ring bundle with figures? Yes to both. |

As always thank you for your time answering and interacting with everyone. Any chance you tell us who Bill was working on a few years ago for the Defining moments line, but wasn’t able to be released and was replaced with Undertaker? (Thinking you can’t, but thought I would ask - still think it was Owen as it was right around the time his DVD hit) I would love to hear your thoughts on loose v MOC v graded collecting? What do you prefer? I have to be honest, I consider myself an MOC collector but I am fast moving into graded figures. Thinking of getting some Mattels graded in the coming months (Ringside / DM Bret Hart etc.) to go along with some Hasbros I have graded. Hasbros I think look simply amazing graded. Just wanted to hear any thoughts you may have... Any plans / thoughts from legends to be in the 2 pack elites at any point again? Thanks for the follow back as well 👊 Pretty sure he told me. I can’t really remember who it was but it sure wasn’t Owen. I collect mostly loose. I like to pose them do photography. I was a MOC Collector for years but decided to open since I was buying a second to open in many cases plus it became a serious space issue. I’m selective with what I keep MOC at this point. Grading’s biggest appeal to me is the display case. I have one graded fig and it’s a nice piece for sure but I can’t go down the rabbit hole of attempting to find flawless packaging again. When I collected MOC, that drove me crazy. At the end of the day, collect based on your current toy habits. It’s our hobby and we should do what makes us happiest with it. Legends in Elite 2-Packs - If all goes as planned, the next 3 Elite 2-Packs will feature Legends. |

AFA, for the new elite 2 packs, will it only be current stats or will flashbacks be made as well? It can be any era but you’re really just going to see mainstream level talent included in these. No one obscure or even semi obscure. Seems like this line would be tailor-made for the Mega Powers, if/when Hogan is available. Would this lines budget allow for the inclusion of that robe?  |

Is barb wire still on the banned list? Any other weapons that Mattel or WWE will not allow to be made?

MAN, please just re-release this whole set on RSC/WWE Shop or amazon or something. with Harley overpacked. it was all messed up being cancelled and all, many still want this exact set! I would love that, I have Austin and Jake but did not get Steamboat and Harley, I would love another chance to get both of those guys. |

I won’t get into specifics on what belts we can and can’t do but more are in the works. |
