Hey Steve, How come the Tribal Chief Ultimate didn’t come with a shirt ? I think many were expecting a We the Ones shirt to match the Usos Ultimates. Can we maybe see it in the Elite line ? Did Asuka eat into Roman cost ? 😂 Because he has two titles. Cost went there for him.

Hey Steve, couple of quick questions: I remember reading somewhere that Macho/Steele or Macho/Steamboat were a probable Wave 3 set? Was it always the plan to have Piper/Steele as CC Wave 3 or did that change after Macho was no longer available? Any specific reason as to why an old headscan was used for the new UE 20 Roman Reigns figure that doesn't match the timeframe the figure is representing? The CC info was just fan rumor. For Roman, the newly sculpted head we were creating had some issues so we had to nix it at the 11th hour and pivot to a tooled head that was readily available.

Action Figure Attack Any way we could could get a running change on the new Monday Night Wars Piper to have navy blue trunks and kneepads? Thank you. Also, do you have any plans to give us a midlength haired WCW Piper at some point? No can do. Ship has sailed but noted and I already previously discussed this with design.

Typically the first elite set of the year hangs in stores longer because of Chinese new year etc? Do you guys make more of that particular set? Or does it end up that Target and Walmart just order more of that set? It’s probably because it’s typically used for the Mania display at Walmart so a bit more is shipped out.

Hey Steve! Thanks for changing the WWE logo to New Gen on the new Bret Ultimate! Does that mean that there are rare Attitude variant boxes out there or were they all changed before going to retail? Also, if you’ve opened one up, is the skin part of the torso molded like Andre or painted like most recent Bret’s? Thanks! Who knows what could sneak out but I’m pretty sure they were able to impact all product with the updated New Gen logo.

Steve, could Elite 35 Earthquake please be considered for the greatest hits line with the new taller boots that we’ve had for the Royal Rumble Elite and latest Greatest Hits natural disasters? The taller boots make him a little too tall but sooner that than how small the Elite 35 now looks. Please could we also have an Elite Summerslam 1990 version of Quake? It’s more memorable than his Canadian attire and would go great next to Elite 96 Hogan. Maybe. If/when we get to Quake again, I def want to get a new head sculpt created for him.

You excited to get to work on new CM Punk figures? Any favorite past looks you’d love to work on? I am excited about the possibilities. Tons of material to pull from.

Steve, I just wanted to say THANK YOU! Almost exactly one year ago (January 10th, 2023), I asked/suggested about a "Hulkamania Jimmy Hart" figure to compliment my Hulkster collection..... you responded & said "it's a no-brainer." Today, I added Legends 21 Jimmy Hart to my collection and its one of Mattel's best works! The detail on the attire is amazing! I'm not exaggerating when I say this will be one of my Top 10 favorite Mattel figures! I know you get hundreds of requests on here - many are unrealistic. THANK YOU for taking our suggestions and - whenever possible - turning them into reality! I love it! Glad you like it! Enjoy the fig. 🤘🏼🤘🏼

Steve, will we possibly see/get BCA style WWE Mattel figures? Thank you. I’ve tried a few times but it hasn’t worked out. Maybe someday.

Has the team ever discussed a working Halloween Havoc wheel? Maybe an NXT Halloween Havoc playset with ring and a few accessories for the matches on the wheel? Including a first in the line coal-miner's glove!! Of course.

Hey Steve, I’m not sure why my post was deleted. But let me say it again. Thank you to you, Bill and the design team for the CC Piper. The figure is a thing of beauty and my personal figure of the year. How happy were you all with how Piper turned out? Also is there any chance we can get the Snuka 🤟hands in the future? Like these…. Thanks. And Happy Holidays Glad you like it. Definitely trying to get those hands into the line at some point.

Hey Steve, I don't know why my post keeps getting deleted, but I hope all's well with you, man. I have a few things I'd like to ask: Is the UE Ruthless Aggression line planning to continue, or were the 4 figures released the only ones planned for the wave? Could it be possible to use the Fan TakeOver Shawn Michaels torso for the upcoming Outsiders UE Scott Hall figure, as that looks more accurate, or at least, closer to his size? (great reveal, btw) I know it might be a bit late now, but could it be possible to modify the gloves used for the Monday Night War Undertaker figure for potential re-release, or even Ultimates, of late 90's-2000 Undertaker figures to look more accurate, as shown below? imgur.com/a/3wmplRW (sorry, I'm not sure how to upload images, hence the attached link). UE Ruthless are done for now and being replaced by UE MNW at Walmart. Nothing else was planned beyond the four that were released. Talent from that era will appear elsewhere like Legends or mainline.

Steve can you ask the basic figure team why they used different body parts on the Basic Series 143 and Top Picks Cody Rhodes? Basic Series 143 is almost perfect, but the Top Picks Cody has different shins. The shins used on the Top Picks are shorter so now they aren’t in scale with each other. And besides making the figure shorter the wrinkles molded into the Top Picks shins are way to big. It makes him look like his tights are way to long. Do you know which figure was designed first? Here’s hoping all future basic Cody’s use the parts used on Basic Series 143. These were done by two different designers.

Hypothetically, would it be possible for the Elite 89 Dominik Mysterio to be in a future Greatest Hits wave with a corrected pale skin tone? Or no because that would be too much of a change from the original? Probably.

What's going on with the Terry Gordy figure?? He’s in development and on schedule.

Steve just curious you went with black and pink Hart Foundation. Is the full pink with jackets and Anvil pink Beenie on the table of being made ? This would be the most amazing set in my opinion. And the Colosseum, or greatest hits is there a chance for these Heenen in Black, Hillbilly Jim and Bundy remakes ?? is there anything major that would stop either of these currently? Thank you Sure, that gear is theoretically doable. Why wouldn’t it be? For your talent requests, if Legends are under deals that allow figures, we’ll do everything we can to get them into or back into the line.

I love that we're getting an Ichiban Hogan after all these years, but is there any particular reason why you guys went with the shirt instead of the robe? Design chose the shirt. I didn’t dig deep on why as I assumed that was his preference/vision for the fig.
