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. Does this mean I'll finally get my Mark Henry and Natalya Decade of Domination preorders that have said processing for, like, 5 years or whatever? Also, Steve, since D-Von is possibly under a new deal...any chance we get Reverend D-Von, my #1 most desired figure behind Big Bully Busick?

Steve, Thank you for all that you do! We really appreciate your presence here! I'm wondering if you are able to offer any insight or explanation as to why Walmart offered the Monday Night Wars Series 3 and the 2nd Wave of MNW Ultimates online for pre-order - but not Series 1 and 2, and not the Bret Hart / Roddy Piper Ultimates? It's frustrating to collectors that many Walmart stores only seem to receive 2 of each Ultimate figure and they are typically not replenished. Some of us are stressed that we won't be able to find these at retail and be forced to pay high secondary market prices or not buy the Ultimate figures at all. You made recent comments that Walmart was making improvements and I sincerely hope that holds true. Two figures per store just doesn't seem like enough to satisfy collectors - many buy two themselves! Is it a possible consideration to have at least ONE FULL CASE (4) of each Ultimate for Walmart? These should really be available online for collectors to have a fair chance to buy when they are released. I hope that if Walmart will not make these more widely available that Mattel will consider offering them on Mattel Creations or through Ringside Collectibles. Many of your die-hard fans are becoming frustrated trying to track these down. Thank you for listening to us. Hi Steve, my question is the same as the person here. Walmart distribution is atrocious. I went to 5 walmarts in the SF bay area only to find the MNW figures sold out or never receiving a shipment. This is very disappointing as a huge fan of the MNW. We definitely need more quantities sold and easier access to them. Planogram hasn’t reset yet so you’re gonna have some trouble until then. I’m hopeful you have better luck after the reset and the figs have an official home on pegs.

Hey Steve, I'm not sure if this falls under your control or umbrella, but simply why haven't the Ultimate Edition waves been allocated for the UK? Specifically the MNW, I understand the price and such but surely if that was an issue a smaller order/buy could allow for much higher/complete sell through. Now it seems that the only way to get these pieces is through secondary markets. Unless have they been offered to indie stores? Any incite would be incredibly welcome ans appreciated UK retailers passed on them unfortunately. Hopefully the MNW Elites do well in the UK and that can open the door for additional skus at a higher price point (MNW UE). 🤞🏼

Steve, Will the wrestlemania reveals be available on wwe.com? Some will. Ringside will of course have robust coverage. I’ll also try to post everything on instagram: @actionfigureattack.

Older product was already allocated for brick and mortar so we can’t go back. Just a timing thing.

Hi Steve
Congrants on the awesome Basic Champions line that you've introduced. Is the series here to stay or will it be just limited to small number of waves?
Also will the WrestleMania Basic Series make a comeback next year or is it gone for good?

Steve, with the official reveal of the UWF title, will we see more first time in the line championship belts that we would NEVER thought we'll ever see in the Mattel WWE action figure line?
Thank you.

Hey Steve, I loved the dual plated tag belts that came with the HF. Any chance we see a dual plated Winged Eagle in the near future?

Also will the WrestleMania Basic Series make a comeback next year or is it gone for good? If Main Event Champions continues to perform well, it’ll of course stick around. Glad everyone really seems to like it.

Steve, question for upcoming Rock Ultimate GH.
Is it possible to add his newer tattoo on his right arm, for a pseudo GH/New release? 2 birds 1 stone kind of thing until you can release an updated Rock?

I've placed multiple orders in the past from Mattel Creations, but can't place one now, will the International shipping return to the way it was?

Steve, does the Mattel team ever worry about running out of new Hogan looks or is the team prepared to go deeper / more obscure?

Hi Steve,
How do you defend Jamal being half a head shorter than Rosey? I view it as a total careless slap in the face to people who have been waiting 20 years for these figures to be released.

Can you please tell us if the locker codes in the new legends line will be for the respective wrestlers, meaning we get that version of Hogan, Rogers & 3 Minute Warning in the game, or will they all just be for the Ichiban Hulk Hogan that was leaked several weeks ago?
Also, can we please get a new belt pack for titles such as the NWA & UWF belts? It's a shame that these get released with, either very expensive multi figure sets or in lines exclusive to US web shops that don't ship overseas.

Are you guys planning on re-releasing all of the old 95’ and up Hogans with the new torso and tan? Thanks!

Hi Steve, big fan of your work. Can we please get a 1991 Virgil figure at some point? So far we got the 1988/89 Virgil, that was released a few years ago, and the recent BAF 1992 Royal Rumble Virgil. Would be cool to see more versions of him in the future, including nWo Vincent. Thanks Steve, appreciate this possibility to get in touch with you over this forum.

Best of the Ultimate Edition is a line just for Ultimates that have been released correct? We wouldn’t get an elite made into an ultimate under the best of the Ultimate line right?

This figure would be great in the legends line. Red boxer shorts with the Million $ Belt as the regular figure, white boxer trunks as the chase. Or vice versa. Steve, would Virgil be a big enough talent for a Defining Moments figure? His Royal Rumble 1991 moment was pretty big. Removable bodyguard attire, the purple and white long tights from when he turned on the Million Dollar Man underneath.
