Q&A w/Steve aka AFA Official Thread NO DISCUSSION, Q&A ONLY!

Hi Steve,

When can we expect the next Best of Ultimate Edition?

Hi Steve do you know if Dutch boy brown pants Survivor Series HBK will have his entrance gear from the event?

May I suggest Outsiders Kevin Nash from Elite 16, British Bulldog in trunks from the original Legends run, and 2009-2010 DX Triple H & HBK from Elite 7 for the Greatest Hits line?

Piggybacking on to this - is there any possibility of CC going to 4 waves a year? 1 per quarter?

Hi Steve,

Any chances of an updated Dude Love. I think you guys could benefit from another shot at this figure, maybe with the baby blue tights he wore. Maybe a good fit for the legends line.

Thanks.

Hi Steve. I have to ask, most of us who collect flashback Mattel's would also be interested in the answer......

• Most flashback collectors of the golden era would love to see a General Adnan to round out the Triangle of Terror collection.
Is the reason why we haven't got a General Adnan yet just because he isn't under contract? Or is it also because of the similar appearance his character had with Saddam Hussein, and maybe he would be mistaken for him on the pegs? would that be an obstacle in getting him?

Steve,

Any chance this is possible?
Hail Mary!

What if, with a week to go till the WCW Entrance Nitro campaign ends ... Mattel says, "We would like to thank the fans who have invested in the WCW Nitro Entrance Stage. Since we are going to reuse parts from this display for the future, and committed to Monday Night Wars lines in the future, we have decided to honor and reward the 2,084.00 supporters who believed in us and will make this for those and any other passionate collectors who jump in within the next week. As of now, this means that only 2,084 exclusive Scott Steiner and Rey Mysterio figures will exist if the campaign ended today that will come exclusively with the Entrance. (Mattel has $833,600.00 from the supporters right now). How many more would jump in? I think a lot. . A LOT!

Mattel has already proven it can pivot and be very creative. "CAN'T" doesn't exist, which I like. Mattel will also in all likelihood be doing ultimates for Steiner and Rey anyway, so this is already helping on that front ... plus the stage could be reused in multiple ways - over the many years, so those investors would be sharing the cost of development.

Now what happens if everyone learns with a week to go - Mattel will honor the 2,084 backers and anyone else who jumps in? People are NOT going to want to miss out! They don't want only 2,084 collectors owning something unique that they don't have. The value rises. The lemmings jump off the cliff! Let's do it! Plausible?

Those who didn't want it - shouldn't care. Right? Those who are on the fence waiting for it to get close to 5,000 to see if they would jump in or doubters would have to be believers quick or they would miss ouot. Possible?

I second that emotion. I got 3 Dudes and they all had a fused thigh joint on the right leg. He also didn’t come with knee pads. Might be a good candidate for the Best Of series?

Piggybacking off this, could future ring skirts come with a plain black (or blue for classic events) opposite side? That'd be really helpful for figure photographers/fig feds who don't want WWE specific branding on their rings.
