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

I’m wondering why someone found UE Rey & Eddie on clearance yet most of us haven’t even found them at full price? Can Mattel please try to do something about Walmart’s poor distribution and poor online ordering? Didn’t you guys help fix Target’s online ordering?

Hi Steve, I hope you’ve been enjoying SDCC. I know I’ve been a broken record with my CC requests, but with the independent companies picking up legends quickly, doesn’t it make sense to increase the CC line frequency? Obviously, I have no clue of specific legend contracts, and am really enjoying the rise of more wrestling toy lines. But this line really pulls at my nostalgia heartstrings, and I want to get as many of the original line as we can. Seemingly missing out on Macho, at least for now, is a real bummer. I’m excited to see where this line can go, and despite the mixed feedback on here, am really looking forward to Piper/Steele, Hart Foundation, and beyond. Thank you!

Hey Steve loved sdcc....but any news on any of the US store exclusives being sold on mattel creations (or some kind of alternative) for international collectors? As a Canadian, I feel there is a very very very slim chance that walmat Canada will get any of the exclusives and Toys R Us Canada will ever get any legends (the last one we got was series 15). Heck, I'm not even sure if Amazon Canada will get the wrestlemania x set! (as of this writing, it's not there yet)

Steve, the UE Piper for WCW was the kilt just using the same as coliseum line just to display and be packaged in a more accurate red & white in stores ?

Steve thanks for updating the Basic hips. But did you guys go back to the old style boots or even the elite boot with the side to side rockers? Because the wider the stance the less “foot” will be firmly on the surface. The feet need the side to side rocker so the whole bottom of the foot will be on the surface. The boot the basics have now will be resting on the inner side of the boots in the wider stances. Here’s a pic showing what I mean. Pretend the top Cody has the basic unarticulated boots. You see how the foot is less on the surface as the legs are spread out. Compared to the bottom pic where the rocker at the ankle/foot allows for the bottom of the foot to stay on the surface.



Thanks

Hi Steve, couple of questions if possible please?

Not sure if it's been mentioned but The Rock figure from Mania 28 is wearing the wrong trucks, will this be changed? The one shown is his Survivor Series gear when he teamed with Cena. Keen to get that Rock/Cena as it was my first Mania I attended.

Will the face on black suit Paul Bearer have a slight white make up to it?

Any chance of a turtleneck Shane as a baf and Vince from the final nitro episode that's a really important moment in the war. And would complete the MNW saga

Hi Steve, any possibility of a Hulk Hogan’s Rock ‘n Wrestling line? The Elite 100 Andre chase dipped its toes in this, but a dedicated line (with those available) would be amazing! I’d prefer animated style figures, but would accept Elites with existing molds in attires from the show. Maybe after Coliseum Collection runs its course? Thank you.

With there being the new Legends Greatest Hits line, will the regular Greatest Hits line shift to more non-legends?
