More of a business question but with something like the WWE 2K23 Cena Tie-In who makes the 1st call on something like that? Is this something WWE pitches to both parties, does 2K come to you guys, or you to them?

Question: the belts have never been improved since day 1. Are there talks or plans to upgrade the belts? Fairly important part of any figure line and they just...aren't good enough tbh

Steve, I have no doubt that you get tired of the endless "how about that legend" or "why can't we get this legend" questions but I have to ask you about one man.............a man called STING!! We all know his contract with aew is coming up this year so will that push you to put his name at the top of the list during your meetings or maybe even wear face paint to these meetings to get your point across??

Fairly important part of any figure line and they just...aren't good enough tbh Well we just upgraded the Spinner and Women’s titles. If you’re wishing for something more specific, please toss out the requests. There are a few I’d personally like to upgrade to improved plates but we have to make a call on where to spend those tooling dollars. New belts vs other new parts needed for figures. |

We look for ways to work together annually and this is the best execution yet in my opinion. The final playable action figure complete with articulation was their genius idea. |

If you were still a fan and not with Mattel, what would be your dream Coliseum Collection 2-pack?
Going to guess it’s OMG and Slick but I know you’re a fan of Captain Lou so interested to hear.

Steve, I'd like to request more WCW Booker T figures. Most notably his WCW World title run in 2000/2001.
Perhaps we could get interchangeable heads. One from his WCW 2000 look and one from his WWE debut look in 2001.
And is it possible if we could get new boot molds for future Booker T figures with the straps on the boots?
Thank you.

Hi Steve, when you get around to doing Piper in the Coliseum collection, would you like to see two soft goods kilts packaged? The classic red and white one and also the tartan to match the LJN.

Hi Steve,
Sorry to keep barking up the same tree, but I’m loving the CC line and worry it could end prematurely. So, hypothetically, if the 2 figure format of 1 anchor figure and 1 mid-tier figure isn’t sustainable, could the format shift to at least completing any remaining “anchors” as single pack figures still within LJN inspired CC packaging and gear? I’m guessing the remaining “anchor” figures would be Savage, Piper, Warrior, Bret, and Andre. I’d love to at least get them, as I’m sure others would as well. Thank you!

The in-game character is an Elite so it unfortunately doesn’t have the advanced Ultimate drop-down hips. |

I don’t know about hypotheticals here because we’re still rolling along with work on future waves. Anything we fantasy book about winding down the line would be out the window if/when real convos with me and the core team take place. But noted who you want to see. I’m sure that aligns pretty much with what everyone wants. |

Steve before upgrading belts we need wcw hardcore and wwf light heavyweight. Also pigging back off that Booker t request need a UE king Booker or Booker T. Would love to get them into the line of course. |

I’d prefer the LJN kilt in Coliseum Collection. In my opinion, Roddy is worthy of more than one Ultimate as there are a few truly iconic eras of his career we could do. You guys could also easily change the kilt on your hypothetical CC Piper as you like since the packaging is collector friendly and we’ve released that red and white kilt already. |

There are a few I’d personally like to upgrade to improved plates but we have to make a call on where to spend those tooling dollars. New belts vs other new parts needed for figures. I think the classic titles would be a good start, the winged Eagle, intercontinental and tag belts, then the attitude era belts. Alot of people feel the belts just haven't kept up with all the figure improvements -if budgeting and tooling are the issue then you guys could sell the hell out of an ultimate edition belt line. 5 belts per pack with high quality belts. This doesn’t really solve anything unfortunately. It doesn’t work that way. |

Slick and OMG would be great. Maybe Diabase and Andre, Hercules and Warrior, and complete Demolition and Powers of Pain sets. |

Once again, sorry if this has been asked before but;
Does a wrestlers inclusion in the Coliseum Collection lower the chances of a release in Ultimate Editions. As an example, I’d really love to see “Ravishing” Rick Rude in the repeating Simply Ravishing ring gear. Plus, he could get both long and short hair heads as he wore those tights with both looks.
