Steve was Hogan 40 year figure releases an anomaly?
Can we expect other 40 year mark wrestlers to get similar treatment?
Hint hint wink wink HBK 40 year mark will be June 2028 đđđ

Hi Steve,
Unsure if you'll answer this, or can answer, but.....with re-releases the thing at the moment, can I ask please why it was only partial upgrades that were applied to certain figures?
Ultimate Steve Austin, why did the re-release not include an upper leg change (getting rid of those chicken legs), Stunnin' Steve upper legs are much better. Legends Bulldog, why weren't the tassels switched to the ones that can move? Like wise with the new Warrior that's coming in the vault series? Earthquake, why did the knee pads get dropped from the latest release?
Just baffles me a bit that if you're making a effort to upgrade and re-release, why things are still being missed which would complete the figure?

Is there any particular reason Terry Funk was one of the fist Coliseum Collection figures? I'm stoked to have an ultimate it just doesn't seem like the kind of thing that would be priority

With the best of legends and from the vault series is it possible there will be new accessories included instead of only upgrading articulation?

Can you talk to Bill about maybe scaling down the size of the heads on the retro figures please?
I feel like this line would be vastly improved just by bringing down the size of the heads, and sculpting a visible neck on the figures. As is they don't really seem to look 1:1 with the old Hasbro line.

Is Jake the Snake Roberts still under contract? He hasn't got a release since his Ultimate Edition and there are still lots of different looks of him to create.

Good morning Steve, totally random question stemming from a musing of mine. From blue boots Superstars S6/7 to blue pants in S8 to now blue boots in L22, how/why was it settled on the color blue to be the chase for all of the recent Hogans?!

Steve, why did I have to buy Monday Night Wars series 1 Stone Cold on eBay when I found 3-4 untouched shippers? Who packs the shippers, Mattel, the retail partners, other? Help us understand why we can't find the figures we want to buy.

Hey Steve, has there ever been any serious consideration to doing a fully articulated 3.75â (or thereabouts) line, a la GI Joe /WWE Build & Brawl/Mattelâs DC Multiverse?

Would a new (hypothetical) Don Muraco figure have the new NWO Hogan tan?
It would look incredible for Muraco!

Hi Steve
I know a lot of collectors didnât like Collectors Edition in the Elite wave,I liked it since we got first time to line characters we wouldnât get in the main elite line,Could we see it come back? Maybe including some NXT Talent like Tyriek Igwe & Tyson DuPont or deep cuts like The Brooklyn Brawler & RoadBlock?

Hi Steve,
In regards to figure lines released at walmart, is there a reason why they are not labeled as a limited edition series and why are individual chase figures not labeled with a limited number sticker on the package the way jakks used to do on their k-mart exclusives.
The MNW line for example has not even been given any shelf space and is only being delivered on shippers as of now.
The superstars line space has been reduced to one peg at many walmart stores for this new reset and should also be labeled as a limited series.
Is this something that could change for upcoming series to more accurately reflect both figure lines and to at least give them more permanent space with side shippers located on corner front shelving panels the way both target and walmart does for your mattel hot wheels limited edition branded series.
I believe this will help collectors find the figures they want by protecting these shippers from being tampered with and keep them sealed until their street dates. (Street dates given to "limited edition exclusives" on sealed shippers, like done for black friday).
Having been in retail space and in charge of inventory of special items i foresee this will greatly increase the odds collectors have to find these hard to find items which are often times picked through before they hit the sales floor.
This will conversely even the odds for collectors with scalpers and resellers who currently have a leg up with employees. This way everyone has the same chances to get them (so long as walmart stores adhere to their street dates).
Conclusion: permanent areas given space for these limited edition items will ensure they are ordered more often when they sell out and the limited edition notation on the packaging and shippers themselves along with limited edition stickers on the packaging will allow that constant sell through.
Some food for thought.
Thanks for your time and for all you do for us.
Sincerely, your buying customers.

Maybe including some NXT Talent like Tyriek Igwe & Tyson DuPont or deep cuts like The Brooklyn Brawler & RoadBlock? Weâre still including the type of talent that would have been CE, just without the exclusivity.

Steve Coliseum Collection, how is it doing ? are you guys going to bump up amount of sets per year ? CTM Itâs doing fine. Amount of releases per year will remain the same.

Have explored and attempted multiple times. Hasnât come to fruition yet. Out of curiosity, why do you think this type of line has never really taken off in the wrestling space? Iâve long thought it is such a sweet spot. A bit of a cheaper price point, great movement to do moves. Play-sets like rings and entrance ways in a much more digestible size. I loved having matches with GI Joes as a kid and always thought a wrestling line as such would be a hit with young kids.

Hey Steve, are you guys allowed to make any Mutas from the time when he would wear masks or is this old school Muta only? Thanks!
