I popped so hard at the Steiner news. Big Poppa Pump has been easily my absolute biggest Mattel want since day one

Great questions about the superstar accessory packs (even though I didn’t like the answer), and hogan skin tone and torso choices.

I'm so hyped for all Steiner Brothers Elite to be released. I went nuts when Steve announced the Steiners lol
I'm more excited for a Dog Faced Gremlin Rick Steiner than a Big Poppa Pump. Mattel, "just take my wallet" lol

I say this with relief, not as a complaint: nothing exciting for me. I don't need Harley, I have plenty Andres I'm very happy with, and I have all Mankinds I want. With that said, it's nice to hear that Defining Moments will be back and that there will be UE two packs. I do look forward to future lineups. I take this back 1000% with the Steiner Bros news! Like Tom said, this is a total mic drop. Had they simply made this announcement and no other reveals this would go down as a sure fire top 3 Ringside Fest, IMHO. My revised top 5: 1 and 2: The Steiners 3. Mountie 4. Nailz 5. singles Barbarian (WWF early 90s) 6. Mr. Fugi (tux or bald/Yoko version) 7. UE early 90s deadman Undertaker |

I’m excited for the Steiners as a team but a 2001 WCW Champion Big Poppa Pump is a day 1 top 5 want for me. So hopefully we can get that sooner rather than later.

I'm glad the Hogan issue was addressed. Not really sure how height/scale playing a part in torso choice was really a factor since I hear complaints about the general scale of everything.... So, it wouldn't be accurate anyways, lol. Plus, they didn't notice those big ass shoulders/arms barely fit with that smaller torso? That should have been a red flag regardless. I'm expecting these Hogans to get re released then or just release an UE Mr. America. I'm curious on the new darker tone for Hogan. I'm also wondering if Scott Steiner will be one of those guys getting a new torso? IDK, I have a love/hate relationship with their torso choices. Like the Batista torso while he got it a hand full of times after it was introduced and then Sting somehow adopting it, like, wtf? Shamrock could have definitely used it though. Anyway, at the end of the day, I'm happy about the Hogan change. Steve, you know I love ya, haha.

Great reveals and Q&A 😀
I'd have preferred Harley as an Ultimate Edition with cloth cape and multiple heads - but at least Mattel can release him again. Really hoping for an NWA version. And a manager (BAF?) version would be pretty good too.

Why waste a greatest hits spot on that crappy, overrated 'Bluetista' fig?... If we're getting a previous Batista, how about a re-release of E72 - and they bother to add the trap tats this time. Yeah, it's a strange choice... why not the E2 or E6 figure - they are both from Mattel's first year(!). The E30 and E72 are both better than Bluetista too... I never really liked that look. |

Give me the Galoob attires first.
The Steiners were the last big grail signing I think. Depends whether you count it or not, but Jarrett was the other one.

Yeah I was never a big Jarrett fan but you can’t ignore his accomplishments. But considering he’s off the table for now, my personal opinion of the top 5 names left that haven’t had a single Mattel figure, in no particular order: Pedro Morales* - may not be a household name but was the first ever triple crown winner and good mid card hand during the Golden Age. Shane Douglas - the face of ECW and Dean would be a good New Gen fig Raven - very toyetic character, one of the top guys of ECW, stood out in WCW for a while in the height of nWo, had a decent run in WWF within the hardcore division Barbarian - needed to complete PoP and his singles look is very toyetic Haku - probably the biggest name they could sign. So many looks with him. Islanders, King Haku, Colossal Connection, Meng in a suit, Faces of Fear, big hair Meng, return to WWF Haku *After thinking about it Pedro is probably not a top 5 guy as he would be a plain looking one and done figure that wouldn’t sell all that well. So maybe swap him with Mr Fuji. Several looks with him and multiple guys with Mattel figures you can display him with. |

I think Eaton & Lane are now on my top grail list. Nikita is another.

had to get on google to see what all the fuss is about, can't stand the poor quality YT videos showing a brief montage of new reveals. Just screams "get my views up pls"

I would guess a singles run Scott Steiner would be first considering he was more popular and was more relevant. I could be wrong though, WCW was only around for like 1 year of my life lmao
