^^I still get the occasional warped leg. Last night I opened an E18 Barret that I had for about a month, the legs were pretty bad. A little heat and bending straightened them out. I've gotten to the point where I am instinctually prepared to dip legs in hot water. I usually think the Basic legs are too close to together so those get immediate hot water treatment. I've had less trouble with ankle joints recently but that was a long time issue. Still not something they needed to talk into the ground since we get why it happens for the most part. |

Later this week or next week but if your having a hard time waiting I can fill you in on some answers.... 1. "Not signed to a legends contract" 2. "We would like to but we cant right now" 3. "As soon as we get the rights to do it then we will" 4. "not right now" 5. "never" 6. "stay tuned" it's sad but thats true |

I don't even collect anymore, but I always enjoy seeing what's going to come out. And to Mattel's credit, they don't have to do any of these Q&A's, I'm just appreciative they keep us in the loop with any info, even if at times it's not much.

Hoping we do get some kind of "reveal" information. Confirmation on the 4 FBs wave would be great. Considering those won't be out until elite series 23 at the earliest, they might want to blow the announcement six months out. |

last year we at least got the reveal of BOPPV, Elite 15 and matty legends.
not to mention an hour long video of Q & A + Tim Ash & Toms toyfair review.
This year. No reveals......unlike the 45 min q&a last year....I expect about 7 mins

don't hold your breath for this Q&A - what can they possibly talk about? It's so pathetic. He-Man believe it or not is not one of the more popular brands with Mattel (see Hot Wheels and Barbie), yet they do more to promote it than what they're currently doing with the WWE line.
Twitchy Bill wont have anything to share or enlighten us with and they will continue to gloss over the LEG SLEEVES OF DOOM question even though that's a LEGIT design question for the design team.

Sorry, don't expect a Q&A. No designers present at TF this year.

Considering those won't be out until elite series 23 at the earliest, they might want to blow the announcement six months out. Probably. Especially with E22 not coming until late June. We've been finding out from retailers spilling the beans before Mattel or Ringside tells us anyway though so it's almost trivial why they don't want to announce the lineup(s) to us. We shall see I guess. |

Don't post the line up! Then everyone will piss their pants about who's in it and the people we are most excited about? Expect those guys to be around $50 a pop.

Right... so no new figures and no Q&A. Did Mattel forget to mark the date of Toyfair on their calendar or something? Rather pathetic effort from Mattel here, was any reason/excuse given as to why WWE got so neglected at toyfair?

Love Mattel but I really think they should throw the fans a bone for Toy Fair. Even if it's just a sneak peek of some prototypes or a couple from the next Elite series or whatnot. I mean of course they don't have to, they focus on SDCC, yada yada, but still it's force of habit to get excited and want to see something at Toy Far (in general)
Even some fun stuff like they do at SDCC with the personal art projects that aren't meant for retail or anything. I always enjoy that type of thing.

Mattel didn't forget about there He-Man or DC line. They had a ton of awesome stuff for there collectors.
There He-Man figs aren't even in retail.....and there DC lines barely make it to retail. They can't stock WWE elites fast enough....yet we're the ones who get no respect?
