Steiners, where art thou?

[thep1]

I guess y'all didn't bark or holler loud enough...

[judas]

They will need some knockout reveals for SDCC I presume?

[Flair Forever]

Michigan.

I believe the Steiners are in Michigan.

Michigan.

Nah. I'm pretty sure they are Michigan guys.

Maybe there was a brief pause in development to see how things turned out after Rick Steiner verbally attacked that wrestler because he disagreed with their identity? That seems plausible. Nothing to back that up with but the time table seems to match if these figures are usually on a one year schedule from start to finish as the incident happened at last year’s WrestleCon.

Steve answered it a couple times on the Q&A, they weren't signed at the same time. So they made the individual attires first and the Tag Team attires simply aren't ready yet. They're still coming.

Sorry I missed that. Glad it clears it is cleared up and that cloud of negativity doesn’t have to be permanent.

So odd because he announced them together in that one stream wearing a Steiner Bros shirt to reveal that they were making them.

I believe it was December 21st 2022. Steve announced that they already were working on several figures that would span multiple lines.

So logically if they were already working on several looks in Dec 2022 then we definitely would have seen renders, if not completed figures by now.

Fair point.....I thought we would at least have seen renders or an announcement of their placement etc.

I got freaks 9 days out of the week

[Triple S]

We aren’t getting them. Mattel is done.

I still think the timing is odd considering we’ve gotten renders for Punk and a bunch of new figures. How long have the Steiners been signed for?

They can both be slated for a reveal AND delayed due to the situation with Rick last year.  Development may have been frozen or they were pulled and needed to be slotted in much later.  All of their most iconic looks are pretty deco heavy for one or both figures.  So there are probably a lot of moving pieces if they had to be pushed back.  

At the end of the day, I just care that we get the figures.  I've waited this long, and can wait a little longer.

For me, I just don’t want it to be the usual Mattel schtick where they wait forever and then contracts expire or they get canceled. They should of pumped out the highly desired attires first. I want white singlet Scotty with designs. Then black biker trunks.

[TheHitmanKid]

Their Q&A made it seem they already have new Steiners down the pipe line. I hope its faster than later. I hate losing out on figures like Macho Man, Jeff Jarrett and we didn't get certain figures because of contract expiring. I'm still mad about that Elite Itami we missed out on 😭😭

Itami didn’t do himself many favors by constantly being injured. You know damn well Bill wanted to make him but with him off TV as long as he was he probably couldn’t get the OK to put him in a line.
