Eastcoastcody normally takes time to post both Questions and Answeres, but I'm lazy, so I'm just posting paraphrased questions along with the answer given by Mattel.
Who was supposed to be in DM6?
Interestingly, Cena and Hart were actually wave 6. We cancelled wave 5, which was Randy Savage from WrestleMania 3 and Rey Mysterio from the Bash 2009.
1. Will we get Kharma figure?
2. What series is Teddy/Johnny?
3. When will Ryback, Sandow come out?
Great questions because they're easy to answer:
1. Nope.
2. Both will be build-a-figures as part of the Toys "R" Us "Best of PPV" waves. TL will be in the Basic assortment and JL will be in the Elite assortment
3. 2013 - that's as fast as we can go.
By the way, here's a collecting tip: we released Ryback as Skip Sheffield in Basic Figs Series 11 back in 2011. Find it if you can!
Someone asked about the Flashback HBK in Elite 19
We'll be debuting the product details later.
And we would never rule out the possibility of more Flashback HBKs down the line.
Will we get any special Raw 1000 set?
The answer is no because, as big a deal RAW 1000 was at the time, it's already old news. If we were to have done a line it wouldn't come out until 2013 sometime at which point it would be even more obsolete.
Will we get an Elite Jinder Mahal w/Entrance Coat&Turban?
Nothing to announce at the moment but that's definitely a possibility.
Someone asked about Magnum T.A and the buzz Mattel created by not releasing it yet.
We follow it and it does influence our decisions. We would never officially decide *not* to release him. It would just be a matter of slotting him in a wave, which has not happened yet.
How many BAF next year?
Actually there will be FOUR BAFs in 2013. Teddy and Johnny will both be in the Spring "Best of PPV" assortments at Toys "R" Us (TL in basics and JL in Elites).
In the Fall there are plans to do two more.
Will we see a Rock Flashback figure?
That would make a lot of sense.
What about us getting the downloadable nametags?
Our fingers are crossed that yes, they will be available there in the not-too-distant future.
Will we get downloadable images on Matty for the Raw Entrance Stage?
OK, this is the value of these forums.
We had discussed putting additional images for the Entrance Stage up on MattyCollector as downloadable content a few months ago, but it kind of fell by the wayside. We're busy people, and we basically forgot. Oops.
Based on this post, we've re-kicked off the project and are already pulling images from the WWE art bank. Let's see how quickly we can get them up on Matty (still lots of hoops to jump through both here and with WWE).
Thanks for the awesome suggestion!
Will we get another Jinder Mahal figure?
It'll probably be a while. He was a challenging guy to get the likeness correct.
Will we get classic rings?
No plans to do classic rings at the moment, but possibly in the future!
Will E18 Lawler be in FB packaging?
Yes he will!
Any new Rumblers coming?
And yes, Chris Jericho and Brock Lesnar are both in the works for future Rumblers. They will be awesome.
