With RVD coming in the MNW sets does it mean we could see more ECW in this line, I just don't associate him with either WCW or WWF during that time and was wondering about the decision to include him in the line. He’ll get continue to appear in our line. The ECW invasion was an important part of the MNW to a lot of people and, it can be argued, helped set the stage for WWE embracing “Attitude”. ECW’s existence and it’s talent absolutely played a huge role in both companies at the time. RVD’s attire date and story are on packaging if you want to dive deeper to those appearances.

One more retail question for you, Steve.... What about the Survivor Series (British Bulldog) wave with Lawler, HBK, etc....do you know if any retailers have ordered it? Survivor Series Elites are under the PLE assortment so I can’t really tell if anymore will go out to replenish PLE pegs or if newer product will ship instead.

Is there anything you can say about potential figures of this years Hall of Fame class? I have been dying for a Bull Nakano figure If anyone signs a deal that allows figures, we’ll make them.

Figures that have been cancelled such as UE Macho Man. UE Double J, Legends Sting….If you were to get access to those again, would those get inserted into a lineup somewhere quickly or would they get pushed to the back of the line? It’d depend on the circumstances but my preference would be to include them asap.

This guy’s stolen Jey figure is inaccurate. He doesn’t include a shirt, let alone a RAW shirt from Elite 66 Kurt Angle. That must’ve been a stolen bonus.

Hey Steve, do you know if the Maivia Elite 3 Pack is going to hit Walmart stores too? or is it online only? It should when the next plano reset happens.

FYI, the “official” set date for the shipper is actually 3/24 or 3/25 so they’re not even widespread yet. Some people are just getting lucky and finding it early. Would’ve been nice to have known this weeks ago. It’s literally on the first page of the WM Shipper thread.

I’m hopeful we’ve turned the page starting today. Just piggybacking off this, what changed? If this is true, we are all beyond happy about it. A lot of behind the scenes conversations and hard work. Your feedback never fell on deaf ears.

I brought build-a-figures back because you asked for their return and creatively, it gives even more opportunities to make looks or talent that might not make the cut otherwise.
These extra 8 BAF figs or so a year we’re getting now just don’t happen if the BAF execution goes away again.

When will the Walmart preorder process be fixed? And if it cannot be fixed then is removing all exclusives from them being seriously considered? Legacy Pack preorders are now being cancelled for many who ordered on Day 1. There’s just no excuse for that. No Superstars preorders have been fulfilled / or in some cases even offered since Series 2 (other than two figures - Hogan and Piper from Series 6/7). I know they’re a big retailer, but if they cannot provide at least average or above average customer service then let them carry the core line and allow other retailers with the required level of distribution and customer service (Target, RSC, MC) to distribute the exclusives. It seems like many customers (including a lot of international customers who in many cases have no other avenue to exclusives other than preorders) are being let down by Walmart and it’s time to address the issue. I’m hopeful we’ve turned the page starting today.

Is it possible that Mattel Creations could sell limited quantities of retailer exclusives the way that Hasbro Pulse does? I realize you might not be able to answer directly; mostly just wanted to throw it out there as a request. WWE exclusives at Walmart have largely been a hopeless endeavor for me. Request(s) heard. I’ve been trying.

Steve - I saw you promoting the new Street Sharks retros. Does that mean you're not exclusive to the WWE product at the moment? I do manage product development on Street Sharks and have other collector focused duties beyond WWE.

International shipping is back on! Thanks Steve! Ps… you were the only rep / Mattel person I saw go anywhere near the issue across all lines - thank you for that. Doing what I can.

Hey Steve, I'm a little confused about your post regarding the MC reveals. You said "plus an exclusive item!" If the reveals are already exclusives does that mean this is an exclusive item that's ready to go, or is it something exclusive to the Revealed event? That item will go live during the event.

Forgive me If this has been clarified somewhere previously: Are the MC reveals next week only going to be for MC-specific products, or for the line as a whole? Related, will their still be reveals Mania weekend or are these fulfilling that slot? MC exclusives will be highlighted during the MC Revealed event. We’ll have our usual WrestleMania reveals at WWE World/WWE Superstore WM week.

Are the Monday Night Wars figures slated for the Walmart planograms? or is this shipper program the only way we're going to be able to get them? MNW Elites and Ultimates hit Walmart planogram on the very next reset.

International shipping is my biggest want. They’re actively working on fixing it. Sorry I don’t have more to share but everyone involved is doing their best to restore things ASAP.

The first Mattel Creations Revealed online event is a little over a week away. WWE is up on Friday 3/22 and we will have a few MC Exclusive reveals to show for the very first time, plus an exclusive item!
What are you hoping to see at the event?
