Hey Steve is there ever going to be a 2 pak like this ? These are cool, unique looks, but I’d personally prefer LJN homage Coliseum Collection of The Dream Team. Please, Steve? |

Hello Steve, For the Legends HTM rerelease, do you know if the dye process for the jumpsuit (I'm not sure on the correct terminology) will be different from the prior release? The jumpsuit is pretty much purple now and my collection is in a room with one window (blinds/blackout curtain). I believe other posters have mentioned the same thing (and I've seen other figures on eBay that look similar).  Yeah, I’ve seen this too. My figure at work that was exposed to natural and fluorescent light turned purplish while my fig at home with standard lighting and no sunlight is fine. Not sure if anything different was done material-wise this time but I can ask. Hello Steve, Any update (good or bad) on HTM's suit? |

Steve, how do we stop bogus Walmart preorders?How is it that Walmart continues to take pre-orders they fail to deliver on but you have 3rd party stores sell them well over retail?

Hi Steve,
Why is Walmart taking pre-orders and then they are being cancelled by a Walmart store as they dont have the figures in stock? It is making Mattel look bad in thr collectors eyes and having us loose hope and faith that we will actually see the MNW figs delivered.
Why have a pre-order system if only to cancel ? How do these 3rd parties get inventory to sell at inflated prices on items that Walmart have that are exclusive to them ? Any way to get Walmart to block their exclusives from being sold at higher prices by 3rd parties ?
How does a store that sounds like Walmart get access to all the Walmart and Amazon exclusives when Walmart cant even provide inventory from their site for pre-orders ?

Have to add my voice of concern, and ask what is going on with Walmart inventory and distribution? I know there is little you can say, but I feel better at least voicing my frustration.
It's absolutely comical now that you can just about guarantee that Walmart will not deliver an exclusive Mattel WWE Figure, even if you place your order within minutes of its availability.
My faith in my ability to secure ANY of the upcoming Monday Night Wars figures is non-existent.

Hi Steve, great news that a few adjustments are being made to the Hogan three pack and the WM X set.
As there is time to amend the skin tone of Hollywood & Hulk Still Rules, can the white trim be added to Hollywood’s knee pads? It may seem a small detail but it was missing from the first two Hollywood figures and I think it would make a big difference and of course be accurate.
In regards to the WM X set, interesting to hear the two IC titles being different was down to using a couple of your own belts but I was actually pumped when I saw the pictures as I thought it was intentional…one of the belts was more dull than the other at the event (from memory wasn’t one supposed to be the ‘real’ belt and the other a fake of some sort?), so this was accurate - is it possible to stick with one dull and one more shiny as opposed to two belts identical?

Hey Steve,
Yesterday was a tale of two sides. My March 13th Walmart preorder for UE Rey and Eddie was cancelled. I never found them in store.
But ordering the new Retros set from Mattel Creations AND getting a shipping notice was a nice surprise.
We all know how bad Walmart is with their online ordering, so I’m skipping past that. I know they are “exclusives” but is it possible to see UE Rey or Eddie show up on Mattel Creations after a certain time frame?

I dig the new Legends packaging. Hogan, Andre, & Jimmy all look great in there but Iron Sheik's face is kinda blocked by the Legends logo. After this series, is positioning of figures something that will be worked on going forward?

If it's a different type of plastic, can't it be used on Elites and Legends too? |

I thought the legends packaging was going to be the same - with the exception of minor alterations - going forward? And what's with the window? Andre doesn't even fit in the window and Hogan barely fits, not to mention Sheik's face is somewhat covered. With the issues of people purchasing figures, taking out what they want (either the figure, or the accessories), putting old stuff back in the package and returning it to the stores, the smaller window makes it harder to view everything. Will there be little windows panels on the sides or top of the packaging so we can look in to see if all of the items (figure and accessories) are there? |

And to piggyback off of his piggybacking piggyback, If you ever get Dynamite Kid under a deal could you package a Bulldogs 2-pack where Davey Boy is carrying Dynamite piggyback, like he did when they lost the tag titles? |

Now that you have the Gooker parts like the legs, feet, wings, and head, what are the chances of the dumbed down elite version with an alternate Maryse, Uso, or Woods head?  |

Hey Steve, with the best of ultimate series are we going to see re-releases of retailer exclusives such as : Batista, fan takeover warrior, Brock lesnar ruthless aggression, Eddie etc. And will there be 2 or 3 figures per set.
Another question. I'm really happy we are getting more basic figure packs.
I enjoy them cause of the affordability.
But the main event one with John Cena , rock and Roman, doesn't have the new articulation.
Will we see more packs bigger and playsets etc in future. Like exclusive sets such as, network spotlight.

Is it possible to reveal what parts come with figure in each of the BAF series?

Steve will you please ask them to stop putting basic title belts with elite and especially quit with ultimate figures

Steve, is it possible for the Roman Reigns Hollywood Elite to get the Rock and Piper treatment and be added to the GH line since it never made its way into the US? I’m a Reigns completist and would like a chance to get one. Thanks!

Has there been any consideration about changing the way Wrestlemania elites are done, i loved how it was done this year and I think I would prefer one wrestle mania match represented and 2 others from the set

I'm surprised no one has asked for a Ken Patera or Outlaw Ron Bass?
I thought both were some of the best figures Jakks made back in the day.
Especially Bass, I thought his face scan was spot on!
