Fingers crossed that Riddle has different arms this time but I won’t hold my breath. He’s one of my very few big wants from the main roster. Riddle was the first time I put a figure away because it was disappointing.
Things like Alister Black’s height being off 3 Elites in a row and wrong boot choices repeatedly have made me a bit more pessimistic.

Will survivor series be exclusive to Walmart? Most likely just RSC. I don’t recall the last two sets selling at Walmart at all.

Last year Walmart had SvS on a shipper with DoD1, and Target also got them in. But I didn't see any of my stores get restocked beyond the first case, so it was very much blink and you'll miss them.

Sweet, if the Hogan is 1989 then that means we are finally getting the Hulk Rules, Hogan. I must say, I was never a fan of the 1996 Bret Hart tights, but in figure form they look amazing. Kind of bummed that Warlord is the exclusive, I have not seen an exclusive figure in any wave, in any store since Brisco. Looks like I will have to go to evil bay to get him.

I still don’t believe Mattel will do a legit Iraqi uniform for Slaughter so I’m not getting my hopes up that it will be WM7. Hope it has a navy or purple winged eagle regardless of attire If KUSHIDA has a spot to himself does that mean he’s a store exclusive? I’m not familiar with how the codes are separated Considering the way Mustafa turned out, I’m gonna say I was right

I watched a Q&A video today with an online retailer (don't think this has been posted anywhere). The video really hyped the releases for the fall and late 2021/early 2022.
Below are some notes from the video. Granted, this is his opinion and everyone gets excited over different things:
The best line of Elites "ever" is coming out. He didn't seem as excited for that Exclusive for the series (referring to the Collector's edition). He confirmed he was talking about the main Elite line open to everyone to sell (not an exclusive line).
Ultimate Wave at the end of the year/early 2022 – is probably also the best "set" so far. "Get your money ready!" (My personal speculation is this is the rumored Outsiders)
Legends 13 is pretty cool and something is really surprising. He then said 2 surprises that he didn’t think were going to happen (makes me think one of the surprises is bigger than the other). My personal speculation is that this is someone involved in a lawsuit or someone with a history of being on bad terms with WWE (not Owen Hart).
He also referenced seeing some of the other exclusives, but didn't give any specific hype surrounding those (just general hype for overall everything that is coming out).
"What's his face big budget probably blew up." Referring to Bill I think (he wasn't being disrespectful - just couldn't remember his name in the live Q&A).
Overall, it sounds like this Fall and Early 2022 are going to have awesome figures and surprises. Makes me excited for the reveals at SDCC and Ringsidefest.

I wish Mattel would hire Batman & Superman to go convince Martha into making the deal.

I wish Mattel would hire Batman & Superman to go convince Martha into making the deal. People started bringing Owen up and he confirmed it's not Owen. He's not allowed to confirm who is in the line-up though so he can't say anything else. I think he just wanted to squash that right away to set expectations. I think someone like Jesse "The Body" Ventura would be a surprising name (maybe Marty Jannetty/Koko etc.).
Never say never, but Owen is probably not going to be made by anyone that has to give a cut of the pie to WWE while Vince still owns it (maybe even after if they ever sell).

I just wish they could do an online exclusive or something, a deal right through mattel where the profits from the sales go straight to a charity or something, How can that be a bad thing, everybody wins.

Mattel can't do their own deals. I'm sure this will happen eventually with Super7 or some other company, but nothing that's affiliated with WWE.

I get what you are saying, but they currently don't want to be involved with WWE in anyway. Sounds like the kids don't either. I don't blame them. Even if they ever considered a deal like that, I doubt they would trust WWE's accounting. Also, I doubt WWE would ever agree to that - this is the same company that doesn't want employees, but also doesn't want their contractors making money on third party sites on their personal time unless they are getting a cut.
I think we will get an Owen Hart figure through another company. He just got a micro brawler.

No I know, I totally understand. I would hate them too trust me. The way I’m looking at it is strictly from a fans point of view, Owen will always be a part of the WWF whether he ever is associated with them again or not. As somebody collecting action figures, I just want one of a character I enjoyed. The whole WWE dropping him from the ceiling thing is why his family hates them and more understanding I couldn’t be. I guess I’m always looking at it like, Martha and family hate the WWE, we as WWE fans pretty much receive the same punishments they do in regards to his removal from things. I wish there was a way she could spite them without spiting us.

I’d say the rumored Kane and Undertaker Ultimate set is what he’s talking about. Especially now that we have a new Kane head.

I’m going to go with Khali as a Legend figure since he never had an Elite, which will surely piss some people off.
