will the “best of legends” series have the new legends packaging? Current packaging this year. New packaging for the eventual 2024 wave.

I remember Jakks used to have a "Best of" for certain characters, a Goldust figure with a wig from a certain era, robe from a different era, so the attires weren't event accurate, my long winded question is would you guys consider making figures that don't coincide with an event (ex: The Rock with his new Tattoo and wrestling trunks) It’s probably not likely.

Hi, Steve! Will the upcoming Elite Honky Tonk Man rerelease use different matrerial/dye for the jumpsuit? The one used on the retrofest, originally an awesome, vibrant shade of blue, fades into this dull pale blue with time. It's happened to me on two different Retrofest figures, and no, they weren't hit by sunlight, they were just opened and displayed in a case :/ I answered a similar question as best I could a few posts back. What about the belt that he wore with this jumpsuit, will that be with included with the upcoming figure?

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

We've had Elites of Sgt. Slaughter and Col. Mustafa in their triangle if terror gear, what are the chances of seeing a Gen. Adnan to complete the trio?

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.

Do you know if the Greatest Hits Roddy and Rock will be in the same packaging as the original Hollywood releases, or will it be updated Greatest Hits packaging?

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 with UE getting 3 slots can we get the entire Bloodline & Judgement Day in before their storyline eventually ends ?
-Solo -Sami Zayne (maybe even KO with his duct tape shirt) - KO -Rhea -Dom -Priest -Balor (Purple Demon) -Edge (as a member & opponent)
I just think down the line these will be remember as classics of todays era.

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!

Hey Steve,
Unusual question time! I'm looking to make a career change (sort of) - with a background in graphic design, currently working as a Creative Director for a merchandising company that deals in both licensed and unlicensed properties in the consumer retail space, I feel like my experience would be a perfect fit for Mattel/the toy industry.
Any advice for getting in front of someone on the WWE design side? WWE would be first choice, but I'd love to be a part of many different Mattel licensed properties, so it's not a "WWE ONLY" situation. I've kept up with the current postings via the Mattel careers portal, but haven't seen much that would be suitable for my skillset.

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

Was watching AlexWestCollects review of the Rick Steiner figure. How come it doesn't have the Dogface Gremlin bulldog tattoo on the right arm?

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!

Steve,
I love how target has exclusives (legends) that you can order from their website. We know Walmart has had problems in the past but they still continue. I know it's not YOU - but from a marketing and financial matter, there are untapped monies for Walmart and Mattel for us trying to get these figures like Bischoff, JBL, Torrie Wilson. Since you can't control what Walmart does ... is there a way to find another way to get these particular figures out to Ringside? Mattel Creations? WWE? Even if they have a different look? While you have the licensing for them can you please do that so us passionate collectors don't have to go to scalpers hell ... (which I won't do)? Thanks for all you do
