Have you explored the possibility of El Generico? I believe he wrestled a couple of matches in NXT with that gimmick. Is this a gimmick you personally would like to see make it into the line?

Is it safe to assume that we should not expect any more Billy Gunn figures in the foreseeable future.

Would Mattel be interested in visiting/revisiting a McMahon legacy set? Even on a super limited basis? We could possibly, finally get a Linda and maybe a Vince Sr or even Jess McMahon? I think we all suspect the window for such a thing might be closing.

Hey Steve, great job with the recent retro set! Apologies if you've answered this question dozens of times in the past, but Retro Series 13/Wave 3 has had me thinking a bit about unreleased figures, specifically the retros themselves. I know that Enzo Amore was originally slated for Series 4 and Cesaro for Series 9(?), but were there any other retros that got full concept designs/prototypes that were never released? Maybe just that Undertaker grey gloves repaint. Since Hasbro already released 3 grey gloved Takers, and you guys did a great job on the purple gloved Taker, would it be possible to do the debut black-gloved Undertaker? This way all iterations of the mortician Undertaker gets a release. Or maybe the black-gloved Taker could be the first chase for this line.

Is there any consideration to do a chase for the 4-pack retro line in 2023? Maybe just one figure out of the four that are included.

Walmart US take wave 2 aside from Andre unfortunately. I’m currently close to getting the lesser produced characters out another way. Can hopefully share that info soon.

As he was mentioned on Raw and is under some form of WWE contract can we please get a Steve Corino figure?

I'd love to see an Ultimate two pack with Kamala and Hulk Hogan based on either their match at the Maple Leaf Gardens from January 11 1987 or Madison Square Garden from January 19 1987, Hogan with the head hunter face paint. If that was to come to fruition (Hogan seemed partial to it in the video you guys did at the Beach Shop) would that eliminate Kamala from the Coliseum Collection? If so, would you rather have him in the CC and make this hypothetical 2 pack Elite instead?

Would certain characters have to be released under a generic name instead of the proper name? Like Mean Marc was released as so, but Dingo Warrior was Ultimate Warrior. Would a Terra Ryzing have to be released as Triple H/Hunter Hearst Helmsley etc? Just wondering what process determines this.

Hey Steve,
Just a quick question
What was the reason to debut Aliyah as a basic rather than an elite with her Aliyah 3:17 shirt???

Hey Steve, love the output on the retro figures. This last set is top notch. Will we learn the lineup for the next set at Mania? Can you shed some light on how many sets you all have mapped out beyond? Thanks!

When Walmart asks for exclusive figures/lines is it brought up that there’s an issue with distribution of the exclusives? Really frustrating when you see a guy named Paul have these before Walmart actually does. How is he even able to get them in the first place? Might be something worth looking into.

Hey Steve,
Are old exclusives (like RSC exclusives) off the table for the Greatest Hits line?

Fully realizing attire choices are now pretty much a democratic process that still needs licensor approval what would your personal top 3 Warrior figures you’d like to see made? Mine would be:
1. Raw 1996 segment with Lawler (ballcap, ponytail, all black paint) 2. Nitro debut (jeans & duster) 3. Summerslam 1991 (USA duster)
