Now that we’re seeing a couple Elite 2 packs, would there ever be a chance of seeing Elite 2 packs with female talent? Maybe the IIconics or Kabuki Warriors with the Women’s Tag Titles?

Instead of the "will you release" question, my question is what determines the attire you guys decide to release? Promo pics? Certain year/match? There's a few that are mix matched.

Why hasn't there been a proper short hair Roddy Piper figure circa 1985? That's the most iconic look for Piper as a pro wrestler and the line is desperately missing that version. Maybe as an Ultimate? Unless you mean Elite in my opinion the entrance great is by far the best Piper released by any company to date. That scan captures his snarky face perfectly. I would love to see it in true FX. |

Thanks for getting back to me Steve. It sounds like there is a bit of hope that you might make Bret’s first wwe title win against Flair in Saskatoon. I think the pant design is actually one of the most iconic Bret has worn. Would it possible to pass on the fans recommendation to Bill and the team that we all love the moulded torso with painted singlet versions instead of painted torso versions of Bret please? I’ve waiting so long to see this figure but would be so disappointed if it was a painted torso. Thanks Steve 🙏  D@nm! Not even on a leap year. Sorry @ham I tried! Action Figure Attack in all seriousness why did you guys go away from casting singlet torsos in flesh tone plastic to casting it in the singlet color? It doesn’t really affect me as I display my figures. But I have passed on figures at retail because there were chips in the flesh tone parts already. Personally I would think the original way of casting it in skin tone and painting the singlet would be a better option especially for the customers. Because if the paint chipped off the singlet we could either repaint the chipped area or just say it’s a tear in the top. But now with the torso being molded in black I cringe to think that if the paint chips off the figure it’s basically ruined unless I can perfectly match the skin tone. Is there a chance that that could be changed going forward? Thanks. Design call on this. |

Can we ensure the Blassie figure comes with the short elite suit legs please?
I’m still struggling to get over Vince’s legs! Probably should go into therapy! 😂

Obviously I know he'd have to be signed to a deal, but do you forsee any problems when it comes to Rico? I'd love him from his tag run with Haas.

Action Figure Attack Speaking about Flair, are there any plans on creating a pudgier torso for him? I remember Hogan and Flair sharing the same torso as sheamus and thought it was an odd choice.

Action Figure AttackI know you won’t divulge any reveals, but have there been talks or a priority placed on getting a red and yellow Sting to fit in with Hogan, Warrior, Savage, Beefcake? I know they never officially teamed all together, but on a shelf they look awesome together.

So I am going to ask you a tough one. Ready ... ? I am an old school guy who realizes as every year passes it will get harder and harder to get the LEGENDS like Bruiser Brody, Ivan Koloff, Nikita Koloff, Dick the Bruiser, Rocky Johnson, Tony Atlas, Superstar Billy Graham, Killer Khan, Crusher Blackwell, Dory Funk, Stan Hansen, The Great Muta Jessie Ventura, etc ... is there anything ... anything at all that Mattel could creatively do to create generic elite Build a figures ? "The Cowboy" This could include a few different body types (that you already have made) with removable vests. Cowboy boots, - cowboy hats, accessories, a few different head molds that could resemble a Funk - a Hansen/Black Jack Mulligan, a David Fritts - but this could be a head that resembles Rocky Johnson too - which would force you to get his other parts in another series. The Great Chief (Head piece) Wahoo McDaniel, Jay Strombow, Rocky Mavia The Body Builder Tony Atlas, Billy Superstar Graham, Jessie the Body Ventura, Ivan Putski The Brawlers: Brody, The Bruiser, The Crusher, Ox Baker The Russians: Ivan Koloff, Nikita Koloff, Volkoff etc ... The Evil: Capes/robes face paint applicable, weapons ... Kevin Sullivan, The Sheik, Jake the Snake, Buzz Sawyer Hitting the Charts: Rock and Roll Express, Stan and Beautiful Bobby, Orient Express: The Great Muta, Killer Khan, Mr. Fugi You get the idea: Here is my desperate sales pitch to you. 1. This could be fun for kids and for us to mix and match body types to create someone who could resemble the actual person. Or just create a generic figure. 2. You already have the body parts available. 3. If there were 3 different mix and match features within the build a figure .... but arms, legs, heads or boots/feet that would be better suited in another offering we would have to buy all of them too. Pretty desperate huh?  Any luck?  |

For Action Figure Attack: This isn't a big deal, but the Elite Hall of Champions figure Ron Simmons came out before the Elite 67 Rey Mysterio, based on his Halloween Havoc 1997 attire. However, Mysterio is packaged with the old WWE cruiserweight title belt instead of the WCW one. Was there a specific reason why Mysterio couldn't get packaged with the WCW cruiserweight title if you guys are allowed to use those 90s belt designs as accessories now? As mentioned before regarding the figure itself, this was a last minute replacement coupled with Rey returning to the company. We went with a flashback look with existing head and title due to the timing not allowing for the creation of new tools. |

Of course she’ll look different. What do you take me for sir?!?! How insulting. Lol! No plans for a new Corey at this time. Didn't mean anything by it... it's just because there's going to be such a difference between the two sculpts/scans, I didn't know if you'd be more focused on one particular appearance - namely the more recognisable, "post-surgery" Chyna, than her early appearance. The renders we've seen, suggest that the more feminine look will come first. Also, boo to no Graves. Early Chyna is coming first. Go check out the pics from Ringside Fest. |
