Steve, I have two questions.
#1. If the crowdfund goes beyond 15,000 or more backers, would you consider maybe adding other UE or 2?
Perhaps a WCW Booker T from Bash at the Bash 1998 in white attire with flames? And a WCW Bret Hart? Or maybe a late 95/early 96 Macho Man?
#2. Would we get a WCW Nitro ring at a later date? And will it include the floor mats with the flames on them?
Thank you.

Hey Steve,
Do you know how close we are to a Hit row or Maxium Male Models if you can say???
Also since Maxxine dupri has been getting significant tv time would she debut in the Elite line or would she be a basic?
Thanks

Hogan is from the first episode of Nitro and will come with 2 shirts, correct? On that episode he wore a Pastamania shirt and his Hulkster shirt later on. Will one of the two shirts be Pastamania? We’re fulfilling a long time community request with this one and giving you a shirt without velcro down the front along with a rippable version. We sadly can’t do the Pastamania shirt at this time. We did look into it though. The early sample of the shirt will debut Thursday at the Superstore. So, is it true that if it doesn't reach 5K backers by 4/7, then Hogan doesn't get made? Even if it eventually hits 5K and you backed it early? |

Hi Steve, sorry if this has been answered already. What day are the reveals? I'm guessing Thursday. I can't wait, hopefully some WCW to go with the nitro stage which looks amazing!

Hi Steve do 123 Kid 94/95, Kevin Nash 98/99, Undertaker 05/06 and current day Rey Mysterio stand a good a chance of the ultimate treatment?

Will there be any additional deco on the Steiner figure? I'm guessing his head on the crotch and Superman logos are off limits. But will we see Superstar on the front and Big Poppa Pump on the back?

I'll piggyback on the international collectors asking about the currency conversion that Mattel Creations is using. $400 US is translated to $695 CAD before shipping. That is $151 difference from what it should be. Is that really due to import fees into Canada?

Mattel creations is now listing the crowd fund as £500 for us in the UK. Even with VAT and customs considered, the numbers don’t appear to be adding up and brings the price closer to $625.
Is this being escalated or can we have some clearer communication on the cost breakdown as well as confirmation we’d not get customs fees on top? Feels like this is currently a massive issue for none US backers and could prevent take up.

Why are the UK customers who are very loyal to Mattel and especially Mattel Creations being absolutely shafted with the price?? You’ve added on approximately $217 from the people in the US! How is this fair in the slightest and that doesn’t even include shipping, pretty sure if this isn’t addressed and put right this will not reach the amount to even unlock 7k backers. There’s more than just one country in the world that collects wrestling figures! Being in around 10 Facebook groups in UK and Europe 90% or the people in them have said they won’t be backing due to the unfair pricing.

Quite shocked to see how much us in the UK will have to pay for this set. £470 and now up to £500. A lot of the UK collectors saying they aren't going to back it especially as there's no guarantee it'll hit 11k backers. To make it worth our money in the UK it should come with all the extras already for £500.
My question is do the mattel team realise how bad this is for International collectors?
Is there no chance they could be sent to the mattel headquarters in the UK and then sold through them to UK collectors?

Hi Steve!
Since Bret Hart Legends ultimate shows up on Amazon Germany und UK...will Amazon outside of the US have the Rock Legends ultimate too?
And can you tell me if the packaging of Ultimate Eddie will be the same as the mainline?
Thank you :-)

Hi Steve!
I love the Nitro stage, but I don't collect 6" figures, only Retros. Is there any way you guys could show us a couple pics of it with some Retros on it? Maybe throw the 4 NWO guys on there?
I would love to see if at all it would look ok with Retro scale, or just ridiculous if I tried it.
If scale doesn't look too far out there, I'd buy it and just resell the figures and keep the stage.

With the cost if the WCW Nitro for outside the US, does this include any custom charges or handling fees etc, as $217 over the price that US Collectors are paying is a bit unfair, especially since there is a lot of WWE Figure fan base in the UK and around the world.
If they are included, which explains the price hike, is there not a way you can just not charge anyone outside the added fees?
Charge everyone the $400 and let us outside the US deal with the Import Fees/Handling fees etc when they are dispatched next year, I feel doing this will see a boost in the backing of this item and may possibly sway many outside the US to back it more than they are at this moment.

I believe the variance on top of the exchange rate is a shipping surcharge that’s dependent on country to account for those increased costs. They should be adding something to the FAQ on the site with more specific info. |

And can you tell me if the packaging of Ultimate Eddie will be the same as the mainline? Thank you :-) I’m not certain if they picked up the Rock figure but I’m hopeful. Eddie has standard retail packaging with inverted colors like Legends and the Ruthless Aggression logo. |
