Hey Steve,
Any idea why Brock Lesnar has never had a 2002 look with different trunk designs? He did have different looks early in that run, before Summerslam.

Steve, is there any chance of a Slamboree 2000 Hulk Hogan from his match with Billy Kidman?

Hello, Steve, Any chance at Roddy Piper in his lederhosen from SNME in October of 1990? What about this shirt, do you guys have access to this one for Piper? Also, would you guys ever re-release the Elite 70 Vince McMahon - correcting the heigh issue? And for fun, since you guys have access to "They Live", any chance you could throw in one of the alien heads with Vince like this image below...

Hey Steve, any chance the E107 Balor's head gets changed? It's his shaved head look from 2019, a look he has never had during his time with Judgement Day

Or just a red biker shorts ring gear version from the Rod Awakening segment? Sorry, no picture.

Hi Steve!
A couple of questions:
1. Will elite 106 Sami Zayn come with a soft hoods T-shirt from his time in the bloodline?
2. Is there any chance we can get a fatter sgt slaughter with a bigger head? Think Otis parts. When I put his most recent elite next to some of the recent hogans, hulk’s head is about twice the scale. I feel like a fat sarge with pointy Iran boots is just what the 👨⚕️ ordered! Target Ultimate Legends to go with the new summerslam 91 Warrior? 🤩🤩🤩

Hey Steve!
Idk if the team has noticed this but since switching to the double jointed pinless arms (especially the larger arms) there is a noticeable gap between the shoulder and bicep joint on some figures.
Is this something that can be addressed to have the arm fit more flush in the joint?

If Mattel got the rights to Lance Storm. Would it be easier to make the championship belts that he had in WCW, since he added stickers on top of them?
Those are the,
*Canadian Heavyweight Championship *100kg and Under Championship *Saskatchewan Hardcore International Title

Hi Steve, are any New Generation Ultimates planned in the same Red New Gen boxes as Doink, Diesel and Mach?
I’m a bit gutted that Yoko and Razor weren’t in this style. Are we destined to only have three New Gen boxes on our shelves?
The Steiners in this style would be perfect 🙏
Thanks

Hi Steve,
I wanted to ask you a bit of a personal question.
If you lived outside the USA, as a collector of this brand, would you say you were satisfied with the supply at your local retail stores and online stores? Would you still be collecting?
Thank you.

I’ve noticed Mattel loves making new Golden Era Hogan scans but refuse to make any updated older man hogan scans. Hogan definitely didn’t look the same in 2002 or 2005 as he did in 1993.
The half unmasked Mr America scan looks great for an older hogan with the wide chin and thicker moustache, a head like this would even work great for a wolfpac hogan instead of the “off the juice” skinny face and skinny moustache Hogan head we always get
is there any chance on getting an updated older hogan head to suit 1998-2006?

Looks like it's back to the drawing board on walmart preorder issues. I know you said you were hopeful things would improve but the superstars hogan and piper have been pushed back again, now saying October. Cancelation will most likely be the next step. Really worried about this line and the MNW line going forward. Superstars rude and earthquake never even went up for preorder and neither has perfect and bam bam. Any idea as to why? Hoping this preorder fiasco can somehow be straightened out soon. I know you do what you can and it's much appreciated but it's beyond ridiculous at this point. It's a vicious cycle of preorder, multiple delays and then cancelation on basically every mattel wwe walmart exclusive

Any idea why Amazon hasn’t sold the Greatest Hits sets? Did they not take them?
Or at least I don’t think they have sold them.

Here is a unique question for you Steve: Sometimes it is easier to click your profile and read your responses under “view member’s recent posts.” I accidentally clicked on your recent threads and saw something from 13 years ago that caught my eye! You posted in 2010 about a lifesize Undertaker that Mattel made for SDCC that year: www.wwe.com/inside/overtheropes/sdcc2010photos#fid-15160162Any idea whatever happened to it?

Curious considering the renders and the prototypes shown at comic con, will the tag titles be corrected into the silver versions for the Coliseum Collection Hart Foundation Set and will there be any adjustments made to the belt so it can be put on Jim Niedhart?

Steve, maybe you can or can't answer this, but on the topic of getting new deals in place to make new figures, do you guys say, "hey, wwe, we are getting a lot of feedback from the fans for wanting such and such, is it possible to get a legends deal done in near future?"
Or is it more, "here Mattel, here's the list who is now available to make."
Basically, are you guys able to make suggestions to wwe for legends not signed and does wwe go forth and getting a deal done based on who it is and such?

Steve,
Thank you for all that you do! I've been going through my collection lately & marveling at all the unique, amazing figures I have that I never thought we'd see!
Question: Does the actual talent review/approve figure designs before they are green-lit? For example, does Hulk Hogan (or his rep) see the renders before they are actually produced? For wrestlers who have passed on, does their estate/rep review action figures before they are finalized? Or does Mattel have free-reign to use whatever attires/designs that WWE gives Mattel the rights to? Does the talent have any input to say "no, I don't want my figure to be made wearing that attire" or "I do not like that facial expression" or "will you make my figure more muscular?"
I'm genuinely curious if the actual talent reviews the final prototypes/designs or if they only see them when they open up the box!
Thank you again, Steve!
