Really sucks about the crowdfund, speaking as primarily a WCW/NWO fan, a wrestling figure collector of 25+ years, someone who grew up with the Toybiz WCW Nitro Arena and figures, and as a crowdfund backer (despite not having much money) I am beyond disappointed. But I appreciate all your hard work and for trying.
Anyway, might be too early to ask this, but I just wondered could you guys please consider releasing the WCW letterblock somehow (just one of them I mean) - perhaps packed in to some kind of special figure set or store exclusive? Kinda like a WCW-themed equivalent to the that set you guys did a while back with the old-school RAW letters piece packed in with 1-2-3 Kid, Razor and Undertaker.
The WCW letterblock would still make a great display piece by itself and if I could pick one thing to "save" it'd be that. Thanks AFA and best regards as always.

Hi Steve, I feel like the Ultimate John Cena’s have been a bit dull. Could we get something more colourful when he’s next in the Ultimate line please? Thanks  |

How soon before we get the new world heavyweight championship belt in the line? I know it's about a year for figures but it seemed like the new United States and intercontinental titles were made pretty quickly

With Alba Fyre on the Main Roster now, is there any chance at all of getting "Kay Lee Ray" with the NXT UK women's championship, or at least an Alba Fyre with her old gear and hair?

Hey Steve - as others have expressed, very sad that we're not getting the Nitro stage  What are the chances of just releasing the LED entrance (whether as a crowdfund or limited release)? Might be a nice companion piece for the ring and then match up to the New Gen offering, as far as an entranceway and a ring. |

Is it possible to do a build a WCW Entrance as a crowd fund? So WCW letters with a Figure for a smaller price point? Platform with the Steiner brothers for a smaller price point? Announcer Table with Bischoff, Keenan and Mongo? I just wonder if that could work to create the whole thing in stages so more people could afford it? The price did not deter me from ordering but I wonder with the economic times we are in if that wasn't the biggest factor? The NWO with a piece. The Horsemen with a piece?

Action Figure Attack Hey Steve, I was a Nitro crowdfund backer but one of the ones who was really backing it as a means to obtain the figures, as I just display on my book shelves, and to support the line overall. Being just a figure collector, I’m curious if these figures will be like the New Gen Doink and not ever be made again? Or are these looks, specifically early NWO Steiner, nitro debut Warrior, and debut Hogan, still on the table and likely to be made elsewhere in the line, even as elites, basics, etc? Sorry if this question has been asked and answered previously but I missed it if it was. Thanks!

Steve, can you speak on if the parts for Roman to have a more accurate torso and waist exist yet, or have plans to make this a reality? I would love to see Roman back in the Ultimate line sooner rather than later. With the red boots to be specific! 😉   |

Hey Steve, so the headbangers have signed what they described as “nostalgia contacts” I think Samu used the same wording when he signed his deal. The question is, are these different to the conventional legends deals? and if so does that allow the potential for more mid and lower card talent being under deals?

Hey Steve,
I really think we’re missing the mark on the championship 2 packs. Battlepacks were a fantastic way to get tag teams, or even rivals, as FTITL inclusions.
While I feel most of us always prefer elites, some of us are truly okay with getting a basic FTITL to fill in until we get the elite. We coulda had the following by now
Imperium
Katana Chance & Kayden Carter
Mustache Mountain (when Trent Seven was employed)
Brawling Brutes
The Creeds
Pretty Deadly
IYO SKY & Zoey Stark
Rey & Dominik Mysterio
In fact, these were all title holders that would fit into how the set is now. Even some obscure title feuds like LA Knight (who we are all salivating for) and Cameron Grimes for the Million dollar title.
I understand why these two packs exist, but i really think it would be a great way to get more FTITL talents in that we have been sorely missing out on for a long time. Even a two pack like Baron Corbin and Madcap would have been great.
If there is anyway you’re able to sway them in this direction, i know the line would definitely have my attention.
Thanks for all you do!

Steve, would doing the nitro stage as a made to order be an option. I would pay more than $400 for the stage and all figures and i think other diehard wcw fans would too. Can this be explored please?

Any chance we could see a new elbow pad piece for Bobby Lashley's unique elbow pad?
Or maybe a grey deco over the arm with an elbow pad over top?

After Backlash and THAT entrance, I'm completely sold on a Bad Bunny Elite. Hell, I'll take a Mattel Creations Ultimate. Does he have merch deal?

Hey Steve 3 questions for me, one Nitro stage related (of course), on future focus one and a fun one.
Are the figures that were to come with the stage (Rey, Steiner, DDP, Warrior and Hogan) off limits for future releases? Or is there real possibility they could find their way into being released down the line?
SDCC is only 9-10 weeks away. I know the wind is likely out of the sails at the moment, but I bet you guys have some killer reveals for us. Should we start to get excited? Got any hints you can share?
Lastly, who’s your pick to win the NBA finals this year? I had Bucks beating Clippers, but didn’t even get past the first round. I’m now thinking Boston are the team to beat, probably facing Denver. Who you got? (Assuming you follow the NBA)
Thanks as always, shame about the stage, I think it deserved to be made. Maybe one day hey.

Hey Steve I feel the crusierweight 205 division is lacking as most are gone but 1 that is not is Drew Gulak can we find a way to get him in the elite line he was a big part of that line. Also any plans for updating other wrestlers ie newer arms like tozawa, Alexander, Shelton, Gable, mahal, Butch, angel ? Also elites of lwo guys

Any elite chad gables being planned? if so, it’d be nice to see a new ripped torso with a singlet (like a seth rollins torso with a singlet) because we’ve never seen one before and i feel chad gables past elites didn’t do him enough justice with his physique.

If a retro ring is revisited, can it be a WCW retro ring? Maybe a shared exclusive (Ringside and Mattel Creations) with a retro Eric Bischoff if it is Nitro? Or the yellow/blue ring with a retro Paul E. Dangerously?
