Official Upcoming Mattel WWE Figure & Lineups Thread

is the elite GH 5 dominik gonna be the E105 one?

Idk why but I assumed it would be his first elite with corrected skin tone.

Late to the party, but updated the initial post with the new lineups

I get that…but when this has been going on for YEARS and continues to go on in every instance with no real feedback, I understand the frustration. Once again, orders are being cancelled. Arriving absolutely incorrect. And delayed…while these items are on their online store from 3rd parties for a 200-300 percent markup at times…it’s a joke, and an insult. And if you are going to put out a sought after line with anticipated figures…and this,keeps happening…yes, someone should step up and show some transparency.

Theres been complete transparency. That said, Steve can only do and say so much. What else are you expecting from him? He’s not going to bury a retail partner. Especially the biggest chain in the world. They’re not going to pull out of any deals because they are the biggest chain in the world. Mattel needs Walmart a lot more than Walmart needs Mattel. People seem to forget that Steve has zero obligations to come and interact with us on these boards. And sure this hobby can be frustrating at times but there are ways to express those frustrations without being a dick.

Elite 113 is a great lineup

Agreed, he decided all that. And just as easy as he decided to do that he can easily just remove himself from that position without any actual repercussions as that isn't really part of his jobs.

I've mentioned before, my sister's a Monster High collector and they have 0 insight or communication to anybody in the line.
Their pre-orders are bloodbaths that sell out under 3-5 min and resell for 3-4 times the price, some go over $1k and there's nobody that listens to the community and fixes those issues.
My point is that he doesn't have to answer to any one of us, and he does because he's as much as a collector/fan as we are and cares about what we have to say, but people forget that he is trying to do what he can while still fulfilling his duties to the company or asking for stuff that isn't in his hands and a lot of you guys go after him like its his fault. Also, some of the questions/requests on that thread are downright ridiculous, don't fault him at all for taking breaks or quit the board altogether.

Yeah Walmart sucks but no need to be mad at Steve. He’s in marketing, not distribution. I believe he does what he can, and sometimes all that he can do maybe is passing along feedback.

Steve doesn’t work for Walmart. There’s only so much he can do. Walmart distribution isn’t solely a Mattel WWE issue. And they’re not gonna pump the breaks when working with the biggest retailer in the world. If Walmart wants product, they’re gonna provide them with product. They can work with Walmart and make suggestions on how that product gets distributed but at the end of the day once Walmart purchases said product it’s theirs to distribute how they see fit.

And yes, Steve chose to interact with us on here but has no obligation to do so whatsoever. No one from Mattel needs to be the face of the brand. It’s not an official position.
