Someone brought up the scaling issue, along with OTHER issues in thee Ask Steve thread...Steve deflec-I mean "Addressed" this by kind of scolding the questioner for not putting the different issues in their own "Threads" so the Mattel team could igno-I mean "Address" them there. "Please add your detailed specific leg issues to the existing thread on the subject. Feel free to start new individual threads on specific issues with your detailed issues and I can pass on the thread links to the appropriate team members." How is that scolding on any level? He couldn't have been any nicer. |

He couldn't have been any nicer. Yeah Steve is not in charge of design. He also isn’t in charge of QC. He comes on here during his own time and does his best to pass everyone’s concerns to the right people. When he creates a thread and directs people where to go to express their issues he still gets criticized. No wonder he pops in here so rarely these days. |

It’s not hard though.
Bill, that pink is salmon.
Bill, that purple isn’t right.
Bill, Hurricane and Kane have black around their eyes.
Bill, Kurt isn’t roided up to the eyeballs
Bill, Kane wears gloss laceless boots
Bill, Mean Gene isn’t 6’10”
Bill, Bubba isn’t as big as Andre.
Bill, we don’t need a one off mold for The Bunny, we need a chunkier singlet mold we can use time and time again.
It’s not even about these things being passed on to others, it’s not Steve’s job, the point is they shouldn’t really be happening at all to this degree. The odd little mistake yeah, but 7 foot Bubba isn’t one of them.

how much does it all cost when you end up buying an extra Albano now? A quick search, its actually decent price on eBay. |

It also helps to sell Superstars in demand. Still lots of IMPERIUM, Headbangers, & Vault1 Dudleys. It's fine. I'm sure it will restock. I'm not too worried. I'm more concerned with how my Walmarts just got MNWE5 and totally skipped MNWE4. MNWEGH only showed up at 2 out of 20 Walmarts & both only had HHH when me & my Network got to them. >_> |

I wonder if they've pulled them to do a second production run with corrected parts for Bubba?
Unlikely, but not impossible.

I'm wondering why I keep seeing some people on IG with them already in hand and I didn't even get so much as a shipping notification lol. Obviously they don't all ship at the same time but still, where's my 7 foot Bubba at Ringside?

It seems like most people here ordered from RSC. |

And why where they cheaper than imperium and headbangers? To sell them faster? To sell out the first run? Or am i the guy who has to pay double now on ebay cause they will never will be back up on MC? Who knows 😂 |

I hope these come back in stock! I was waiting for BF sales to justify adding them as part of a bigger international order, and really wanted to get my hands on a set!

The odd little mistake yeah, but 7 foot Bubba isn’t one of them. Majority of these issues have to do with Mattel not creating new tooling but using existing tooling. I've always been of the opinion if you don't have the right tooling do not release that superstar until you do. |
