Steve, When are the preorder issues with Walmart going to be corrected? UE Eddie and Rey have been delayed until September. It’s frustrating for a couple of reasons. People have been finding them in stores since July. Walmart also ends up cancelling many preorders leaving us to find on the secondary market. Why is this always a mess?

Any chance we will see Jacy or Gigi in the Elite line soon since their basics have been impossible to find?

Have you explored to see if Austin’s WM17 vest is doable? I’d assume “101 Proof” on the back would have to be censored since it’s a clear reference to alcohol but I’m specifically curious about “BMF” on the front. They’re initials and while we think we know what they mean it could possibly mean a number of different things. Personally I think it’s a spoiler for the outcome of the match and says “Become McMahon’s Friend.”

Action Figure Attack What are some of your favorite big poppa pump attires? Could we get a different mold for Rick Steiner? Wider torso and sculpted biker trunks? Is the Starrcade '97 Hollywood Hogan finalized? Figure is incredible, but the lightning bolts and blue used look a bit too thick and somewhat baby blue. Is there any way to correct this? Thanks in advance Steve.

Hey Steve,
Thanks for all you do, it’s gonna be a great year going forward.
Some of my favorite RSC exclusives have been ones of current wrestlers (UE Uso, Undisputed Era, Walter, Kendrick, Grimes, & Bate) any chance we can see more of these?
I thought maybe an elite 3 pack of Imperium in their blue or black attire, ultimate three pack of the The New Day, and countless others would be great exclusives.
Thanks!

With this being the MNW year AND the anniversary of Hulkamania with a focus on Friends and Enemies of Hulk, 2024 has to be the year we get a Disciple, right?

Are you able to pass along the information of how much Australian buyers are having to pay for store exclusive figures such as Target and Walmart. There’s currently no big distributors that sell these store exclusive figures which leads to people charging exorbitant amounts.
Currently for the new RA Brock and RVD ultimates the only person selling them in the country is charging $200 each, the Eddie and Rey ultimates cost $150 each, RA elites are $80-$100 each and the save goes for legends elite.
Can we please get a way to pay for these figures at a reasonable and affordable price? No one should be forced into paying these prices for figures they really want

Could you also give them a nod to add some more Ultimates to the Mattel Creations shop? I need everything starting from Wave 17. Seth and Andre are almost impossible to find overhere in Germany. If you could at least regularly add the regular waves to the MC shop it would ease alot for collectors overhere… |

If you get the rights back to animal, would you consider doing him in his mystery man attire from wcw in 2001? Maybe MNW line? I'm sure I'm in the minority but I'd love to see it!

Steve, does the new basic austin in the 2 pack with triple h come with the red smoking skull on the back of the shirt? All images I've seen of the figure just show the front.

Is there any possiblity of doing the Target exclusives as a Mattel Creations thing for us Canadians and the rest of the world? Target exclusives are impossible to find here in Canada from all toy companies. It would do a huge service if you guys could step in and help us out. I'd rather pay a bit more for shipping to you guys then some 3rd party seller at a ridic price.

Hi Steve,
Any chance of getting some of the exclusives specifically from Walmart onto Mattel Creations for purchase? They are impossible to find in store (out of all the RA figures I've only ever seen the first wave and the new JBL). Also when you try to buy online from Wally they usually have it up for three times the price from another seller. Like Eric Bischoff says in stock but it's like $50. It's very frustrating. I mean why doesn't Southern California at least the stores I go to ever get the shippers or end caps? It's been this way since the beginning.
Thanks for all you do for the wrestling figure world. It's much appreciated.

Hi Steve,
Will the UK continue to get Legends and Ultimates in the future?

Have to ask, just in case, can we expect more RVD figures from Mattel?
