Sorry if this has been asked before but I’ve only just got back in to collecting wrestling figures.
Has the introduction of Coliseum Collection changed the character selection for Ultimates?
e.g. a potential Rowdy Roddy Piper being pushed from the Ultimates line so he could be paired with a Cowboy Bob Orton in Coliseum Collection.
Thank you for bringing back a former collector by introducing the Coliseum Collection.

Steve do you prefer the soft goods or the plastic goods for elites/ultimates?

Hey Steve!
Just paid my Ultimate Edition S15. These are now at €59,- overhere in Germany and rising. Seeing the Coliseum Collection being at €81,- + shipping from Mattel Creations I was wondering if you could forward a request to carry all Ultimate Edition figures on Mattel Creations. I know, there are some, but a frequent release would really help to lower the costs.
Thanks!

Has there been any consideration to offer more than 2 releases of the coliseum collection 2 packs per year?

Steve would it make sense to make a Rick Martel Strike force version to Match Tito. And add a Jacket and shirt so one of these can be put on the already created Tito Strike force version. Or maybe 2 jackets in Rick Martel figure box  |

Hey Steve,
I've just seen pics of an Elite John Cena figure as a playable character in WWE 2K23, can you talk us through how this came about, how much input did Mattel have in the project and could we see more Elite figures in future games or potential WWE 2k figures as physical figures in the future?

Hi, Steve. Was there any thought into acquiring the rights to the old LJN Wrestling Superstars name/logo for what has become the Coliseum Connection? Thank you!

I’d only want to use that name if we were re-launching the vintage line with that same style figures. Plus we had the Superstars line already going. |

We’ve been collaborating. That in-game figure model is based on the Ruthless Aggression Elite which is hitting Walmarts now. Would love to do more. We’ll see how things unfold. |

Steve do you prefer the soft goods or the plastic goods for elites/ultimates? Depends on the gear. Warriors dusters work best in soft goods. Most of Bret Hart’s jackets are better in poseable plastic with the swappable arms. |

Thank you for bringing back a former collector by introducing the Coliseum Collection. Not really. But LJN gear and overall looks may be reserved for Coliseum Collection if we think we’ll realistically get them in the line. But that’s not a rule. |

Are we getting another ultimate re-release wave this year? One more re-release wave coming later in the year. They’ll be upgraded to pinless elbows. Also confirming the recent Bret and Triple H re-releases were upgraded to pinless elbows. |

It was supposed to happen already but…expect the unexpected I guess. I’ll find a new home for it. |

Hi Steve Back at the end of last year it was mentioned about legends and ultimates being available in the uk, so we know if it will be brick or online only and aprox date they will be available from? Super excited to pick up some ultimates again 👍 I don’t have any solid info on that. The market is working that out with local retailers. I’d guess sometime in summer though. |
