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

Hello Steve,

From the figures shown at SDCC, can you confirm which figures are in Series 7 and 8 for the Superstars line? As far as I recall only Vader and Albano were confirmed for 7.

Will this continue to primarily be a Walmart exclusive line or will it open up to other retailers (like the Survivor Series PPV set eventually did)?

Hi Steve, I am SO looking forward to the Piper/Steele CC set next month. But is there not enough demand for this line to increase frequency? Waiting 1/2 a year between sets is too much! I would think the demand for Ultimates is higher, with quite a few higher profile Legends yet to be made in this line- Warrior, Andre, Honky Tonk Man, DiBiase, Sheik, and more. Thank you for your consideration!

Steve, the packaging on NWO Retros are perfect! Love that you can reuse package to keep close & open. Hopefully all retros releases going forward will use this formula ?

Hey Steve just wondering if we will be getting chases at all in the mnw line such as the upcoming triple h in black and red pants is it possible to see the blue version of the attire as a chase ?

Can this be possible with certain superstars that would justify and makes sense to have a chase figure in the line just to knock out more looks ?

Steve have the Mattel design team talked about releasing ultimate editions of the belts for figures? With diecast plates and synthetic leather straps ?

Is the ladder match exclusive Razor Ramon’s vest gold? The pictures make it look green-ish.

Steve, please can you tell us the Wrestlemania 10 two pack will be adjusted from the proto images? Razors vest should be gold as I’m sure you know and the packaging also looks like Razor is pictured with a green vest?

A lot of us are super looking forward to this set and the packaging is so great, please can we make sure it’s correct?

For Rick Rude's next Ultimate (I'm willing this into existence) can we get WCW, with the Big Gold Belt and the blue robe please?

This is more like feedback I guess than an actual question, since I think it’s already been answered but not in the way that we would like of course. But I do have a 2 part question. Why was the incorrect hairstyle used on Jimmy Uso, but also why has it been used so much? The UE Usos were shown last year at RSFest, and even The Usos themselves caught that his hair was incorrect (“straight out of the horse’s mouth” I think the saying goes), and it still wasn’t fixed. I understand using a scan as much as you can, but there’s been instances where 1 scan is used 1-2 times at most then never used again.

I’m just trying to understand why this was done, especially on what is supposed to be a not only premium but also exclusive figure, the UE Jimmy. It’s really disappointing that, that occurred, especially considering that these are probably the only UEs these guys will get. Also, not everyone can afford or wants to buy another figure just for the head(s) to swap onto the UE Jimmy, or some are keeping them MOC and have to just deal with the incorrect hairstyles. I’m not trying to be mean to you nor Design but it’s poor practice if you ask me, and I know you guys get a lot of hate and negativity for this issue, but it’s an issue that shouldn’t have even happened in the first place let alone happening for so long/with so many figures, especially his UE.
