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

Hi Steve,

Does your company have a deal with other 3rd party vendors selling new unreleased waves of "walmart wwe superstars exclusives"?

If yes, wouldn't that mean that the wwe superstars are not truly exclusives to walmart?

If no, are you aware there is one such vendor that has seemingly unlimited supply of s4 and s5 since at least February? (and getting resupplied when most of the people on this forum had their preorders cancelled.)

Thanks!

If you ever get the green light to make Sting figures again...what's the first move?

Re-do the Defining Moments? Finally release the cancelled Legends? Start from the beginning of his career? and would you prefer an Ultimate first?

Hi Steve, re-asking since you’ve been more active on here lately. I hope you enjoyed 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 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 am looking forward to Piper/Steele, Hart Foundation, and beyond. Thank you!

Hey Steve - just checking: with RVD and (soon) Ricky Steamboat both appearing in AEW, does it affect their Mattel figures at all? (are they both still under figure deals?)

Thanks.

Steve since we got Randy RKO bro Ultimate; are we going to see Riddle to pair the tag team ? Maybe have riddle replace Randy Savage ?

Random question about copyrights:

If someone of the independent retro companies would sign Brian Lee, would they be able to produce him in his Undertaker attire or is this combination not possible without WWE? In fact it is just a ripped black shirt and black pants. His boots might be special.

Just asking out of curiosity.

I totally expect Mattel to give us an Ultimate Edition Undertaker 2-pack with the 40th birthday of the match around th corner…

Hang tight. You’ll be able to purchase these figs very soon.

Hey Action Figure Attack ! Hope you are doing well

I was wondering if Mattel have considered trying to make multiple heads common on Elites at some point in the future. For animating/photography, it is helpful to have an action/open mouth expression (for hitting, being hit, yelling, etc.) and then a character specific expression headscan. Additionally, based on threads I have seen in the past, people seem divided on which expression type is better (due to different reasons for collecting/ideal display) and this could help everybody out.

Does the upcoming Finn Balor Elite have two masks or are they heads they simulate him wearing a mask (e.g., Elite 74 Andrade).

I love the upcoming MNW Kevin Nash and the hairpiece is awesome. I hope it becomes more common and seems it could be used for bandana wearing folks (like Syxx, Hall, and Nash) as well as those figures can suffer from large foreheads when they come with removeable bandanas. Are there plans to use this quite a bit for folks with long hair? I think it would be neat to have multiple heads and multiple different styles of hairpieces come with figures and allow for a lot of different combinations which again can help with animating/photography.

A few Eddie Guerrero questions...

Will/can the upcoming MNW Eddie Ultimate use the Hall of Champions skin tone or something very close to it?

While on the topic of Hall of Champions Eddie, could it be done as a Greatest Hit or maybe a new Elite (or two with a Chase ) one of his other singlet attires in WCW like black or red.



Would it be possible to get a/some Los Guerreros era Eddies with the mullet he had in WWE (since it was different than his WCW mullets)?

Thanks, Steve!

Hey Steve is best of Ultimate Edition gonna continue ?
