Is the edge from the best of ruthless aggression on Walmart a one and done or is that an actual series with more figures coming? It’s the normal Ruthless Aggression Elite series. The whole line is actually called The Best of Ruthless Aggression and it’s visible on the logo circle on front of packaging. |

If Sting were ever under a deal again in the future, what would his first ultimate be?

So Walmart has an estimated ship date of April for ruthless aggression series 3 and a ship date of edge which I’m guessing is series 5 for August. When can we expect series 4 to ship? Sorry about all these questions from me about the ruthless aggression line, I just really love it and can’t wait to have em all

Can we get a basic (or even an elite) Bobby Lashley in a suit?

How come Edge went up for pre-order but the others from Wave 4 didn't? Unless I just completely missed the other 2

Hi Steve. Do you have an update on whether or not E101 Cody will be able to be fixed to say "The American Nightmare"?

It really does - are you not even a little bit embarrassed when you see the efforts of companies like forbidden figurines ? They have made your belts look like toys you would get in a Christmas cracker. I don't want to come across as cheeky here but the winged Eagle has never had an upgrade. You are making amazing figures these days, especially with the ultimates, and yes most people on here will slam me for having this opinion and questioning your can't do opinion on the matter, but you guys should take a look at what forbidden figurines have made and try to go down that road. I love your figures Bill and remain a loyal customer - but your belts are living in the past. Maybe if there weren't so many hands with every figure then this may free up some budget? Well first of all, I’m not Bill. Why would I be embarrassed by the great customizers and independent companies out there. They’re amazing and I’m a fan and customer of some of them. What they do vs mass manufacturing product for retailers are two totally different things. Telling you your particular solution doesn’t work is not a “can’t do opinion”. I’m just telling you that the idea doesn’t solve the tooling spend issues, the costs issues or the work well in the current retail landscape. That was not me shutting the door on improvements in general. So once again, as I posted a few posts back, what specifically are you and others looking for in improved belts? Let’s start there. There is talk about the belts in various threads on the board, they don't sit right on the figures, they need to be slimmed down alot. The straps are thick and the plates stick out way to far, they need to be trimmed down so the plate sits slightly above the strap - very slightly. The shiny gold looks like cheap Christmas decorations where as the real belts look darker and more brass like. This isn't in any way me knocking what you guys have done, you have improved things so much recently that there is now a need for the belts to keep up. We have come a long..long way from Elite 6 Triple h with lego hair, the accessories are amazing and the scans are amazing to. For me the best examples to point out are the ultimates kane and amazon hbk scans. They are amazing, but the belts are just needing an update. They are due a full overhaul. Slimmer all round. If you can scan kanes mask like you did then surely there is a way to scan the belt? Mattel is a monster company, why can't they keep up with the independents? Also - thanks for taking this on board. A lesser man would have skipped by it. But your the guy. #goteam |

obviously you can't say what it is yet, just wondering if you can give a yes or a no...have you seen anyone correctly(or at least come close) guess what the next crowdfund is? or is it something that'll catch everyone by surprise?

Since the topic of belts is brewing, I personally think a lot of the front plates for older belts are too big. Specifically, the Winged Eagle and Classic IC are too wide for figures like Bret and HBK. I think the European looks too.
I actually like the single-piece versions of the WWE Network logo belt that came with Money in the Bank Rollins and the Hardcore title. They remind me of the first belts that Jakks made around 1997 that came in the 4-wrestler set with Undertaker, Rocky, Bulldog, and Owen. Those belts were beautiful.
Is there a possibility that basics like the Championship Showdown packs could get single-piece versions of belts like the hardcore title instead of dull versions of the belts elites get? Would that be too costly to make the change in the Showdown line?

Thanks for all the answers and tolerating some of the crazier question here! Maybe I missed it, but what is this WrestleMania Superstore? Is that an actual thing or just something you coined? Is it online? At WrestleMania? A literal store to buy things? Or simply product reveals? Hi Steve, Is it Thursday the Axxess reveals Will the missing Edge tattoo on the elite 102 proto been added to the final version it’s on his other figures The WrestleMania Superstore opens Thursday 3/30 at 12 PM PST. We’ll be setup and ready to go for opening. I think that tattoo may need to be omitted. Can’t recall exactly but if we were allowed to do it, it’d probably be present. |

Hey Steve!!
Can a promo Roman Reigns & a Suited Cody Rhodes be considered for the elite treatment? There's so much you can do with Cody an Rhodes in wrestling attire wise.

My two biggest hopes for Mattel's WWE Elites and Ultimates are that alternatives are developed for the pegged closures on the belts (Championships and otherwise) and for the cut joints at the figures' waists. Thank you for your interaction here and your desire to create the best possible products. |

Andy Kaufman has just become my most wanted Mattel figure since Hogan, Flair or Angle. Any chance of him making it to the line? Surely the Knoxville body could be re-used somehow!

Mattel yesterday released the catalogue of upcoming motu stuff and it got me thinking of those brilliant posters you did a couple of years back with the elites on
Have you thought about doing another or maybe an ultimate one? I thought they looked brilliant and showed the fantastic work you guys do
