Steve,
Love the head sculpts of the new Razor Ramon. I was wondering if it is plausible that either Mattel or Ringside could do the Ultimate Razor with the classic black trunks and more than one vest? I can see where it is challenging to pick a color - but one of the cool things with the ultimate version you can have a gold and black vest, yellow and black vest, and even another color that would fit with his black trunks. On my shelves is a purple elite Razor already ... would love to see multi options with the change of vest with ultimate. Is it possible? Thank you

If you had the rights for Tony Atlas would you do Tony Atlas classic or Samba Simba? Or both.

I love the build a figures! Smart idea to get to buy the complete set. I have had a consistent problem with the left arm going in and staying on multiple figures leading me to believe it isn't just a mistake. Would you be so kind to take look at that? If you ever get the Ric Flair rights again could you make a crazy look? Aka stripping down to his boxers!

Steve,
Is there a chance to do the Million Dollar man as an Ultimate? Do you still have him under contract? Thank you

Thanks for your input I really appreciate it. I like the idea of Build a figures but am surprised how hard it is to get in the arm. It works. I appreciate all of you and this forum.

I just bought the new WWE build a figure wave with Mean Gene and it seems like the last few for me including this figure I have a hard time getting the left arm in. Anyone have a tip for me? Thank you

Steve,
I want to applaud you again for the great Mattel WWE line and how cool it is that you are here interacting with us and giving us insight. I really appreciate it. Any shot of Razor Ramon from Wrestlemania 10 (which I think was his classic look? and possibly with another face sculpt?). Did you say you have FIRST time in the line legends coming up? When will that be announced? Same with the next Mattel Creations? Finally, it seems with the new show of the TERRITORIES and knowing that Vince took them all over - it seems to me there would be even more interest in honoring the past- especially if they are building a Hall of Fame. This would also be fruitful for Mattel and beneficial to the old wrestlers who can get these items autographed and get paid. Do you have any thoughts on the new POWERTOWN line coming out? Thank you again.

Harley Race!
Jimmy Snuka! I know there is controversial for some but in addition to being a great wrestler who needs the classic barefoot ... we are innocent until proven guilty. We can have an exclusive for adults and not kids offering.
Surfer Sting
King Kong Bundy
Von Erichs
Comes to mind!

Thanks for your knowledge on this board. I have a few questions please. I pre-ordered last year August 30th 2021 WWE Fan Takeover Ultimate Edition Hulk Hogan. It kept changing dates but I was beyond patient. I saw people getting them and didn't understand why I didn't. Did they order x-amount and run out? Since it was exclusive to them did they reorder and I was on the 2nd batch? According to MY ACCOUNT I was still getting it. So I contacted them and they saw it in my account but said no. No more. This is what I don't understand about these kind of exclusives? I ordered the Mattel Creations Life Size ring and exclusive figures. Can they just decide to show I ordered it but just not give it to me? I know they will - same with Ringside. Same with Target. Same with Walmart for me .. but Amazon I have had issues am I alone? Is there a way to rectify this? Also, the Colosieum figures of Hulk and Funk. When and where are they available? Also with this new Shawn Michaels Fan take over figure? Where is it? Thanks for your help here.

Incredible reveals of NEW in the line Legends. Old Legends. New wrestlers - remakes of old. I could see where a lot of people are happy! Thank you!
A few questions please.
The WCW entrance is AMAZING! Can that be for sale or will you make that?
For some of the harder figures to get - like Sgt. Slaughter exclusive or Macho Man Slim Jim, recently Zeus and Hulk and in the past Harley Race (assuming he is available) is there any thoughts of re-releasing them in a different package so the purest have their figure with the original packaging but allow for others to still get those figures in a more generic package?

Steve,
Thank you for answering our questions and helping us stay engaged. Awesome.
Love that you got Zeus coming out and your efforts to get as many legends as possible. Please keep doing it!
Any chance you would consider an accessory pack with Cowboy and various hats, Native American headdress, vests, perhaps a NWO, Tye-Dye, generic shirt with various weapons?

Are you still with us? I hope so. On the Peacock WWE Network I see AWA stuff - does that mean you have the rights to create their background for an interview station? Same with World Championship Wrestling?

Steve,
First of all, thanks for doing these q & a's. Also, thanks for enduring our passion combined with supply chain issues, rights, manufacturing from a continent away, and dealing with two powerful corporate entities ... applause from me!!! The scale molds are simply amazing ... and I want more and more legends, but can they be repurposed or used for other lines as well? Assuming you have the rights? For example, if you were ever to do a James Bond line or Star Trek with your ability to make the clothes, is that possible???

Are you able to make sets like WCW Championship background or Piper's Pit or is that dependent on rights? Also, does the WWE own AWA? That background set would be neat for some of these interview settings.

Steve,
1. Thanks for doing this. 2. Cool that you introduced the team at Wrestlemania. Classy and spreading the love of the team. 3. I Still think the elite scale sized figures are the best in the business.
Here are my questions: As an old-timer who loves the legends and has been here from the beginning ... When we are able to get a NEW in the line figure like Chief Jay Strongbow and seemingly a majority are struggling to find it can you help via ringside? Target exclusive? Something? The silence on this figure is disappointing.
I know I am banging my head against the wall but we are only getting two new first time in the line figures with Stacy and Molly?! Is there no way of increasing this with so many legends or former WWE and WCW figures out there?
Again, I really appreciate you allowing us passionate collectors to interact with you.

I would do 4 sets with figures.
1. PIper's Pit. (Figures include Piper, Accurate Snuka with coconut, Andre The Giant in suit) 2. World ChampionshIp interview Area (Ric Flair in suit with Tony Schiavone) 3. Barber Shop (Brutus, Shawn and Marty 4. Brother Love Zeus and his stand and curtain.
3 First in the line figures for motivation Accurate Snuka Andre in Suit (which could be used later for another figure

The good news is that they are still going! This is a Fun what if though. Series 15 would be my number 1 pick. Mattel has done a very good job!
I am not posting anywhere near as much as I used to because the LEGENDS is by far my favorite line - but with what WWE is willing to do with legends deals combined by what Mattel is willing to make ... I see less 1st in the line Legends! Whether they are released as a Legends line or within a elite line .. it doesn't matter to me as much as making NEW LEGENDS! Surprised we have sputtered so much and feel less optimistic of 70's, 80's and even 90's new figures. Hope I am proven wrong.
