A long, long time ago, there were photos of a prototype Rey Mysterio in his MITB 2011/WWE ‘13 attire. Could we ever see this attire rescued? Preferably with newer parts (using the Elite 15 body as a base instead of the tiny Elite 1 body)

Yeah but slightly modified. There was a plate over “tag team”. The “WORLD” lettering was black (or maybe dark navy) instead of red. Never noticed that. If it could be done with deco, maybe. New tooling...probably not. Fun fact, I pushed for the classic tag title to be included with RetroFest Flair with a pixelated sticker over it on the package. Didn’t work out. That woulda been hilariously fantastic. |

Is Adam Bomb currently on WWE's "Bad List" or can he be signed to a Legends Deal, if it works out that way? Are Liv Morgan & Kassius Ohno going to be put in the Basic line soon? And finally, I would love to see Mattel have access to more Luchadors or wrestlers with cool costumes like Jushin Liger, La Parka, Ultimo Dragon, Great Muta, etc. Thank you for answering our questions!!!!!!!!!!!!! He’s currently a no. They could. Depends. Would love to see all those legendary talents included as well. Probably unlikely but doesn’t hurt to keep trying. |

I would have kept one MOC simply for that effect. Shame the boxes, as dope as they looked, were not the most collector friendly otherwise I could have done one myself. I guess I got a reason to find a MOC version |

How happy are you with the inclusions of multiple heads?
Is this something we will see more of in the future?

The packacking could say something vague like he was a ladies man. Like everyone though the issue would be Morley and WWE needing a deal that they don’t have currently. |

With Seth Green & Robot Chicken being a fan of wrestling and in the past even using Jakks figures for their show, could it be possible that Mattel commission them to make a series or full length movie. I'd rather watch this all day long than WWE meets The Jetsons. It would be a better tie-in than Slam City, and you could even have a situation where the show / series / movie debuts a figure and you then sell it as a promotional tie-in. But Jakks didn’t make Macho Man and that custom was larger than Hogan. Piper and Sgt Schultz stole the show. |

I always loved those comics they did with figures and have to think that inspired Robot Chicken to a degree. Edit:...internets great apparently it’s the same writer |

Thank you for doing this ... not to be argumentative because it is your world to call them as you see it ... I respectfully, feel LEGENDS are high profile wrestlers from the 90's, 80's, 70's and earlier. One who still wrestles like a Rey Mystery, Big Show, Undertaker, Goldberg, (albeit great wrestlers - I see them as flashbacks since they are still active. Maybe Hall of Famers would be those in the Hall. Legends are the 90's and under that are not in the HOF, and current wrestlers that were seen in there earlier times were flashbacks. That may help create unique categories within your elite line combined with Current Superstars, NXT's, Diva's etc .... Then if you or Bill wanted to tease us and state a Hall of Famer will be in Elite 78, with a Flashback etc ... then we can all try to guess who that would be. Then the announcement and the rendering ... WOW! Then the prototype ... then the real McCoy! Just a thought. Again thanks for hanging with us here.

Hey AFA. Thank you so much for the the awesome dialogue... Is the Barbarian off limits to make/sign?😉😂
It would be amazing to have as a singles/tag team version with entrance gear..
