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. will it be from 2 separate waves (Best of) or a rerelease wave (UE4) |

That new Damien may not work in Elites. It was expensive. Could Jake get another UE at some point? Maybe but no immediate plans. This is the nerdy stuff I really enjoy a peek into What made it expensive, was it the paint application methods needed, amount of raw materials that go into it, all of the above etc? I don’t think people always understand there’s different methods used to create deco and hope quickly costs can rise when you overlay different deco hits etc The bendy wire was of course extra cost but the deco on Ultimate Damien was crazy. |

So if I remember correctly, last year at Axxess you guys randomly sold a ton of Defining Moments Stone Cold figures. Sadly I believe it happened shortly after I left the event so I missed out but still very cool. Any plans to sell any old figures this year at the event? Those were sold by WWE Shop and were a pleasant surprise to us. We haven’t ever sold anything ourselves at the actual event. Not sure what exactly they have on tap this year as far as similar surprises go. |

Can I recommend either the E11 Miz or the TRU WM27 Miz to be re-released in the Greatest Hits line? Recommend away! |

Are we gonna get a picture showcase on WWE's website this month, or are they just gonna be held off until Wrestlemania considering it's literally a day or two later? Basically just wondering when we'll see Elite 102 official images The March gallery will coincide with WrestleMania week. |

Which celebrities did you have in line to get a figure made of but fell through due to contractual issues? Actual design work done…only a small few I can think of. The list of attempts is long though and everyone you’d want or expect. Baby steps though; Zeus, Mr T, Gronk, Knoxville, etc. |

Is the crowdfind being announced Wrestlemania week? You said it was imminent a couple weeks ago. By imminent you still mean weeks away?

Hey Steve, wondering if you might be able to shine some light on a question I have Just looking through some of the post on wwe’s India Instagram and notice they had a interview with someone who did a raw is war and nitro diorama and they were showcased on the Instagram post, wondering if what we seen on the Mattel panels was his work or was it something Mattel created for the panel? The reason for the question is I was just wondering if we ever do see these released in the future at some time, will they be re-tooled by Mattel or will it be what we seen on the panel, thanks in advance if your able to answer Whatever you’re looking at on IG is work by a customizer with no affiliation with Mattel. Looks well done though. The dios we made for display at Axxess and SDCC were created by one of our designers in house. I believe there are interviews with him during the Elite Squad videos for both events. |

Can we get confirmation that NOD Karma will have his proper singlet as per the render rather than the inaccurate vest top Bills prototype had? Really hope so, we’ve waited long for this and you guys already have that torso and singlet from the fighting machine. He’ll have the torso shown on the physical sample in the Elite Squad video. |

Can we ever expect to see those two-fingers hands that were supposed to come with Jeff Jarrett? As someone who loves to pose my toys and do figure photographs, I can get enough alternate hands! They’d be perfect for a ref saying “two count,” Piper’s eye poke, Dude Love’s peace sign, Brutus Beefcake’s “struttin’ and cuttin’” etc., etc. Yup. 100%. |

Hey Steve, could we please get another elite Syxx figure? This time with his goatee and this attire? It's a huge want for some of us.  Lots of Sean Waltman questions. I’m sure him you’ll see him in the line again in time. Specific requests noted. |

I received my Attitude Era ring this week and it’s freaking amazing. What are the chances of getting an Attitude Era announce table to go along with it? 🤞🏼 |

Not possible. The fig is in production. I can confirm UE Seth has chest hair deco though. Does Andre have sideburn deco? I know those are typically sculpted but, with his facial hair being so wispy, TrueFX might work better. I think this one may be sideburn-less. |

Legends UE Bret should hit when Target resets planogram in April. No plans for WM 13 Bret yet but it’s certainly prominent and needed. |

Hey Steve, certainly understand if this is a couple of weeks early, but thought I’d ask anyway. I’m curious to know if the figure(s) planned with the next crowd fund will be packaged traditionally (Doink, Diesel) or like Kane (Attitude era ring) or something new/TBD. PS… myself and my young bloke (he’s 13), are heading to mania all the way from Australia. If you’re keen for a beer at mania let me know, my shout for you, Bill and Rob! In my opinion, any UE figures with crowdfunds would have standard UE packaging or something unique like Coliseum Collection. Be sure to swing by the Superstore. Looking forward to meeting you guys! |

Piggybacking off the above.. Have you guys explored a more malleable belt strap for over the shoulder poses, etc? If so, is this something we could see over the next year or two? I think there are some concerns with the pegs on the strap. Maybe someday though with some further exploration. |

On topic of hands, because this is a separate question.... with how many superstars already have had "glove" hands made....will there ever be a move to actually create glove hand molds for all these guys moving forward instead of having so many hands with gloves that have the hand veins in them. Rey, Undertaker, Kane, HBK, Diesel, Brock come to mind as having gloved hands. We’ll certainly keep adding more. |
