Steve, can you shed some light on what it happening with Best of Ultimate series 1 figures for international customers? Canadian distributors have been cancelling orders for online retailers (with an Oct release date) saying the set has become a specific retailer exclusive and therefore they cannot fulfill orders. How can Canadian customers get this set now? We seem to be overlooked on a lot of Mattel WWE figures seeing as how we are so close and have a Mattel hq here.

Is it a bit odd that AFA isn't here trying to answer any questions to try to help anyone still debating whether to fund or not? He's been MIA since mania.

Depending on how close we are to hitting 5K this Friday, could an extension happen to get everyone that Hogan? I don’t believe that’s gonna happen. |

Can you tell us what’s under Mr Perfect’s Superstars singlet? Is it his debut WWF / AWA trunks? A different colored painted singlet? If so, what color?

I’m not sure but I can ask the Canada team. Ringside is a good alternative if you’re having trouble. |

How come Ultimate Edition Andre comes with a painted/molded on singlet, instead of a removable soft goods one? Just a choice we made. Most of our figures do have sculpted wrestling gear so we went with that here. |

Hi Steve! Is there a reason why either Bischoff, Austin and Taker from the ruthless agression series was not shown at Wrestlemania? And which figures are ultimate series 19? The Usos? We know 18 and 20 but not 19. Thanks Just space limitations. We showed the Cena wave because of the current 2K promotion and the newest figures. Ultimates…I made a series # mistake. Kurt, Bianca and Bobby are Series 19. Sorry about that. |

Hi Steve, exceptional reveals across the board all weekend from you guys throughout the weekend. Will the Monday Night War line be available to the international market? Great strides have been made in terms of getting upcoming legends/Ultimates into independent stores and the latest Target Legends exclusive Bret onto Amazon UK? With it being a new line can it move straight into independents or are we looking at starting process all over again with us having to import for the first view waves at the very least? Thanks I’m hopeful some international retailers pick up the line. We’ll pitch the hell out of it. That’s for sure. |

Steve,
Can we get clarification on the next superstars waves?
We’ve seen Earthquake, Perfect, Bam Bam, Vader, Albano, and Rude. Is the next wave Earthquake, Rude, Savage and Rock like speculated? Can you say when we can expect to see the others shown? Thanks again Steve!

Hi Steve, there are a few names that you have access to that I’d love to see you fast track into the coliseum Collection because they’re not upper echelon legends and less likely to remain available to you for many years to come. What are your thoughts on getting these out quick before you lose access:
Harley Race
Freddie Blassie
Brother Love (cancelled LJN)
Warlord
Big Boss Man
Kamala
I did a poll on here and people who buy coliseum don’t seem to be that fussed with anchors. Is it too much of a risk to try a wave without an anchor?

Hey Steve,
Just wanted to ask about the decision to increase the Ultimate line from 2 to 3 figures - what ultimately went into this change being made and does this now eliminate the ‘chase’ figure in the line?
Personally I couldn’t be any happier about it. We LOVE Ultimates!

Steve - the silence speaks volumes around what you are doing to help international backers. It still makes no sense given customs charges and right now this is stopping me from backing. Is this something that can be reviewed?
Additionally is the RAW stage definitely the next crowdfund if this Nitro one gets backed? I will only pay £509 if I know for sure this is what is coming (the RAW stage is what i wanted to be announced this time). And I would also like to know if the RAW stage is next, are we then expecting that announcement to take place a year from now, meaning it wouldn't be shipped until 2 years from now?

In regards to the little Logan Paul figure, what is it? I'm assuming it has something to do with the stages of production, but I have so many questions. Is it a completely scaled down version of the standard figure? Does it have the same articulation? If not, how many POA does it have? Can they be mass produced at a reasonable cost, maybe with less articulation? The last thing I need is to start collecting another line, but I would be very interested in something like this.  |

If these questions have been answered can you please re-direct me to the answers.
Is there a reason why JBL/Bradshaw keeps using that same ripped torso? He is clearly a big thick guy. Very very thick... Yet we keep getting a skinny slim body type?
Also why did Hogan Elites keep re-using the same skinny ripped body in the elites?
Lastly how come roman reigns still has the same headscan and hair length/style? He is the A-list tier Superstar but gets a C list treatment. The most important figure in the WWE> pun included.
Yet we keep getting the same headscan over and over and over and over and over and over again. Even in his ultimate. Not including the screaming head.
His beard is different. his hair length is different. His entire gimmick and persona is different. The figure formula + headscan was from 2019. Not a 2023 worthy figure by Mattel Standards. Uninspired, overused and just repaints over and over and over and over again... The only improvement on Roman Figures I have seen through out last two years is the color of his gloves... plus new glove mold recently on his ultimate. I know he has been using the same gear, but the least you can do is come up with an updated head scan to show match his current age/gimmick/persona. IF you wanted to do more you can create a new mold for his pants..
The usos have been getting better treatment than the tribal chief. Plenty of New headscans/gear. I can't believe the audacity of mattel to disrespect our tribal chief like that. Not cool.
