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

It’s probably not likely.

Outside of obviously giving us our first Bayley Ultimate, obviously, are there big plans for Ultimate 20? Feels like a big deal.

Which series does the new Elite packaging start? Is it 106?

Maybe I’m the only one who cares but for years I’ve been very vocal about wanting a Rock figure with the big belt buckle. I was ecstatic when the proto was shown. Why on earth would the decision be made to hide the belt buckle behind the guitar in package? Is it understood by Mattel how much the belt buckle is a selling point of this figure?

Hi Steve, thoughts on these Hulk looks?
Some of the best evolution in Hogan figures the past two years has been the tan, the perfect Hogan face starting with Elite 96 and the Hulk Rules bandana. I would like to see a few new innovations in bandana sculpt and facial expressions.

Suburban Commando. Unique look and would look perfect next to No Holds Barred.



Red/black gear Jockass/Dookie Rip from No Holds Barred. I would welcome a two pack with the heel Executive Producer (blanking on name) or limo driver but I doubt that would happen. Solo release would be fine. Dookie expression would be awesome and so would an angry or stern look.


I really think Mega Powers deserves to be an Ultimate Edition non exclusive release. Mainly to get Macho's robe looking sparkly and sequined and I didn't like the full on Hogan tan on Macho especially in the face. I would like to see an entirely new sculpt of the bandana where it covers the top of the head but is a bit tighter and rounder than the Hulk Rules bandana and comes down on the right under the ear. Looks like a Hulk Rules shirt as a bandana but says Hulkamania right above the eyebrows. Very important look to get right.


The Mega Powers handshake was a crucial moment and the first handshake on snme was the best moment. The awkwardness of the way they held their own hands out and positioned the handshake. And perfect use for re-use of the expressions with the rsc mega powers extra heads. Two pack with Macho Man in that specific look with that bandana and wrist gear too.


Wrestlemania 4 Hogan when he "blessed" the Macho Man title win. Accessory could be a chair and a fun inclusion would be a Miss Elizabeth poster and Macho foam finger.

An ultimate edition that is specific to Hogan ending of the match and/or pose routines. Puffed out cheeks/ wide eyes when he is Hulking up and pointing at opponent. Sweaty hair, eyes closed full flex pose, facial expression with ha d behind ear.



Another much needed piece is a rubber non tear shirt that closes in the back with Hulk Rules logo.

Hey Steve,

Regarding the MC Ultimate Cody…

Are you able to confirm that, perhaps, the first shipment came in and all of those have been shipped out and more are en route for those of us who purchased but haven’t received a shipping confirmation yet?

If so, will this meet the deadline of July? I ask as a member of this message board contact customer service and he was told it is now expected late August.

Thanks for everything you do!

Steve another suggestion since I'm seeing more NXT figs lol what about giving 1 slot per series to NXT talent ?

These could be like their "prospect" figure for collectors.

I have wished for Solo, Bron (debut attire), Pretty Deadly, Toxic Attraction, Waller, Indi, for a while.

Now you have future stars talents like Tiffany, Roxane, Cora, Lola, Melo, Trick William, Nikkita, Creed Bros, Wes Lee (North American champ), Sol Ruca.

When you all caught up even go back & get current stars in their best NXT attires!

Steve do you think you could ask design if we could please get a new smiling Roman Reigns head?

Steve, will we see the Ultimate Usos available for order at MC or are these RSC only?

Also could you please stress MC to make at least the regular Ultimates available? Reliable suppliers in Germany are becoming extremely rare. I’ve already missed chase Razor, Andre and Seth Rollins and don’t have a supplier for Savage and Orton yet. Not even dare to think about the rereleases that I would have loved to get aswell.

Please put this on a high priority from a marketing standpoint. International distribution for Ultimates is becoming a nightmare and MC could easily fill this gab. Thanks!
