Steve, if you can answer without giving anything away, do you feel there is a better than decent chance we will get either Hulk Rules or Python Power Hulk Hogan MOC with the Winged Eagle Belt around his waste in a future set?? Similar to the Surivior Series Elite Hulk figure which is an incredible figure but since we have much better head scans now I know there are tons of Hulk Hogan fans that would like to see that pose again and with a non tearable shirt too. Thanks for all you and Bill do.

Why does E99 Rollins have a headscan from 2016? It’s completely inaccurate to the attire

Hi Steve, Jakks never made an El Matador. (I bought that ugly Deluxe Classic Superstars. It's stupidly tall and has very loose joints.)
You made Santana already. May you please consider the production of El Matador?

Hi Steve, I would you to say a few things
1. Papa Shango's cape is really cool. That never got produced. If it's a production cost issue, why not make a set with entrance accessories meant for the classic characters? I'm sure it would sell quite a bit
2. Virgil in his singles gear? I get the restrictions but you did produce him. Virgil was big time over in 1991. People forget that. He was part of one of the best morality tales that year
3. I think it would be best for Mattel to start paying attention. I don't mean that insultingly. Third parties are producing a lot of these unsigned acts. I can get customs for barely more than $100 for a perfect job without having to wait years and years for them. Maybe Mattel can use that as leverage against WWE to renegotiate Legends contracts
By point of comparison, I don't think the "Classic Superstars" line would have started without third party competition from "Legends of Professional Wrestling" and from that video game series "Legends of Wrestling." The CS line was probably produced so WWE could get their money for a vastly superior product
It's much more desirable for me to buy from Mattel. I sometimes think to myself "Why is another braided British Bulldog being made? We already got his cape!"
With 3-D printing, online customizers, and a few third parties, Mattel risks a much more competitive market in the coming decade. I would suggest that Mattel present these fears to WWE's new leadership so as to produce a more vibrant set of characters in the coming years.

Hey Steve, if you were to ever launch the Raw is War entrance stage would you design it to fit a range of different iPads or similar devices? A big like how some in car brackets allow for different sized tablets on the back of a headrest (thinking of my sons iPad bracket). Thanks

Are there plans for Target to continue with the Ultimate Legends line past the Bret Hart figure? Does the Colosseum Collection kind of make it tricky who to choose who goes to Target given that some figures would benefit more from being paired with a more popular name (like Terry Funk with Hulk Hogan)?
To put it more simply, is the Colosseum Collection being established now in case the Target Legends line ends.

Steve, this is dire. 4/6 ruthless agression series have been announced… slots are running low. Only 6 left. Can one of those six please be 02 elimination chamber dutch boy haircut shawn. I want it, you want it, countless others as well. If not the RA line could we see it in legends line or mainline or anywhere in elite or ultimate form. I know people want their own questions answered but if u want this fig like this to show Steve it’s not just me and him!

Is a Batista Wrestlemania 30 Elite possible?

E99 Rollins is a pretty beautiful figure, but why was it ruined with the 5+ year old headscan?

Why do they keep making pale Hogans? The tan is money and it seems bizarre that it’s only used sometimes.

Can you clarify the lineups for Superstars series 4 and 5? Looks like Rock and Macho are in both. Did things get shuffled, is one a misprint, or are they really gonna appear in both lines?

What was the decision making process on Elite 99 Rollins headscan? The figure is absolutely perfect minus the old head. Why not reuse the more accurate elite 93 scan if that was the best you could do?

Hello Steve,
While HTM and GV are still under contract, can we please get Rhythm & Blues elites in the Legends line w/Chase versions? Hopefully, the SS 1990 match with HTM's jumpsuit and GV's jacket (GV - black trunks/HTM - red tights). Then, for the chase, there is a SuperStars Nov 17th, 1990 match against Hart Foundation where it looks like HTM wore the same jumpsuit but he had light blue tights while GV had dark blue trunks.
If the Bushwackers are still available, could we get new elites in their gear from Survivor Series 93 with normal faces and then alternative Doink makeup faces? Since they never won the titles and don't really have gear accessories, this might be a cool way to entice people to buy their figures. Also, would be cool to get Mabel (if he is still signed) and Mo (if he ever signs) with alternative Doink heads.

Steve, I’m confused which box is the actual one? The maverick bird is so much cooler hope it’s that one.

HeadShrinkers and Paul E look so great, thank you.
On the Hogan, can we ask why there’s no tan? And no heel turn face? Also, I would suggest so many collectors would hope for Bash at the beach, what was the thinking behind not delivering that? It’s going to be tough to give us that massive moment now as the Uncensored version is close but no cigar?
I hope I’m not talking out of turn but it feels like poor research, I can’t imagine you guys wouldn’t shoot for BATB and would specifically go after the Uncensored look?

Steve I phoned creations about my macho being missing after they refused to update the address on it. They told me they’d look into a replacement and just now I’ve received an email for a $15 refund.
Surely this isn’t considered the value of Macho? No word as to why they took this approach or any communication. I’ve made 4 middle of the night calls due to the time difference to just get a random $15 refund. What can I actually do here?

Steve I went back into my posts in this thread (removed irrelevant parts), and besides the fact that I use a lot of " " in my posts....I thought it would be interesting to see the questions I've asked that have actually come to be reality, which will lead me to my question Have you ever thought about going back in early Elite series and re-doing a figure to either improve it or change something you didn't particularly like about it? (I know you weren't on the team then, but I'm sure you see and know about every elite ever right? lol) and if so, who & what would you do? I basically predicted the Greatest Hits series Are there any plans or interest in making 2nd elites of Bobby Fish & Kyle O'Reilly We got these in Elite 79/80 I have 2 questions about belts... And do you ever forsee a scenario where you would be able to make the WCW United States Championship for figures? oh, you mean like a Bret Hart/Goldberg 2 pack? I was just watching Summerslam 2005 and I think Hulk Hogan vs Shawn Michaels would make an EXCELLENT Elite 2 Pack, don't you Steve? We're halfway there. And technically Elite 91 Hogan is close enough. is there a plan to have Target as well stocked with Legends 9, 10, etc as they were with Legends 8? Think it's safe to say THIS happened. is there a possibility of another real scale ring getting made? heh. and also, will you try to get USA Lex Luger, Mabel, Mo, Doink and Bastion Booger into the Retro line? 2 outta 5, I'll take em. Is there going to be a push in 2021 - beyond to make the Collectors Edition elites more obtainable? like, getting retailers to order a case of them, instead of mixed in? The Elite 79 Undertaker and Elite 69 Rock were amazing and easy to obtain This certainly happened. can you bump the next Elite Cesaro up and have it be in his Wrestlemania 37 attire with a soft goods entrance jacket? Worked out nicely. Could we be due for another Elite Heyman soon? and would it be possible within budgets to make a "2-in-1" Heyman Elite with a new/ECW head, and the suit body but changeable coat/trench coat Yes and close on the 2nd part What are the odds of another "all pink" attire elite (or ultimate) of Bret Hart being made? Apparently, very good. So....my question.... did you actually take my advice/suggestions for these? or were they all just happy coincidences? LOL Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving, Steve. Thanks for all you do on this board (and in the Major Pod FB group)

I second this, both attires would be great. Would elites be able to get their entrance gear, jumpsuit for Honky and the jacket for Greg? Also, from the same SuperStars show, Jake came to the ring in pale blue tights and he was also wearing an eye patch, has an eye patch head for Jake ever been discussed/considered? What about an extra head with his messed-up eyes from the same time period?

Hey Steve!! Hope you had a nice thanksgiving! Any update on the Mattel Creations Ultimate Cody Rhodes. Now that there’s a second figure in the line up(LOGAN) I figure we may be close to Cody’s arrival!
