How long exactly is the process from a superstar's debut, to getting them on the shelves? I don't know how much of this is in your hands but it's depressing that we still haven't got a Daniel Bryan toy  Any plans for Elite 2-packs? We've seen the WWE All Stars Savage/Morrison set and it looks superb! Why do you opt for hard plastic for some people's entrance gear (e.g. Edge, Regal) and soft goods for others? I find soft goods work much better in the context of an action figure, as they don't restrict articulation at all. Any plans for static/ non-articulated figures aimed at the older collector? Something along the lines of Jakks' 'Unmatched Fury' series. Will we ever see 'Collect and Connect' parts in the Mattel WWE line? This could be a great accessory for an elite figure with no obvious extras. It would also be a simple way of bringing accessories or even certain superstars to fans! |

Will you be making a WWE Hardcore ring like Jakks, with the part where you can store weapons, because I think the ESR is too big and will you be able to make r3 tech like fingers?
*please answer!

Thanks for asking!
1. With the number of Legends per wave dropped from six to four will we get more waves released per year?
2. With some Legends having outfits that lend themselves to repaints/variants a la Ricky Steamboat, Rick Rude, Jake Roberts and Randy Savage is there a strategy to get different attires made and how likely is it to get new head sculpts I.e. a non-kissy face Rick Rude and super intense Macho Man?
3. Any plans for online Legends exclusives of characters that probably wouldn't sell in stores like a David Von Erich to complete the big three Von Erich brothers? Whether via mattycollector, ringside or any other avenues. Can we expect another Legend exclusive at SDCC?
Thanks again for the great work with the line!

Are there plans to fix the ongoing kneepad problem? (kneepads are too hard and immobile)
Is there a possibility of fixing the Elite ankle joint, so that it is more secure?
Will we be able to purchase sets of display stands?
Will there be accessory packs released for the ESR, and will another ESR ever be released?

In 2010 we've had 4 sets of legends that came out, how many sets will we expect for 2011 and are they now limited to 4 figures per set permanently?
Which legends do we expect to see for 2011?... Also will the Andre figure still come out?

Will we see any retro title belts from WW(F)E, WCW, AWA, or ECW? Also, have you ever considered selling title belts as assortments on their own?

Will we see figures with more articulation? Such as double jointed elbows and neck to shoulder articulation. Will you sell weapons in the Mattel line? Whether its a accessory with the basic or elite line. Or in a pack of their own? The UK doesnt get lines such as entrance greats and defining moments in stores. What are Mattel going to do for their UK fans in 2011? This as well, this is sooo true! |

Will the Andre the Giant figure show with the real scale ring that was cancelled, still be released in another set?
Will we get any other Macho Man figures in the Defining Moments line?
Is there any chance of an Attitude Era style ring?
Will an old school ring be released at any point in the future such as like 5 years down the line?
Is Mattel liscenced to release Hulk Hogan figures? (since he is in the new video game)
When will the Legends 2 Packs series 2 be released?
Will we ever have any online exclusives?
Any chances of a classic Gangrel or Goldust figure?
What superstars are being thought of for future 'Defining Moments' lines?
Any chance of rarer attires of popular guys such as Shawn Michaels in nWo gear and The Rock in concert gear?

I'd like to know what the long term strategy is for the WWE line. What I mean by that is this: We've seen smaller numbers of figures released per set. We've seen the cancellation of some high profile items (Legends ESR). We've also seen the introduction of kid focused items (Rumblers). What can the adult collector expect to see in 2011 and beyond?
Personally, it concerns me that we're seeing less and less legends/new wrestlers released per set.
The only other item: What does Mattel plan on doing to better promote upcoming figures? It seems like they could do a better job of releasing proto pics/info in regards to upcoming line-ups.
Thanks.

Will you be incorporating females into the Legends line (ie. Wendi Richter, Moolah, Miss Elizabeth, etc.)?
Any thoughts on producing exclusive variations of wrestlers as film characters that they played (like Triple H for "The Shaparone" or John Cena in "The Marine" etc)?
Any chance of you producing figures of celebrities that were involved in WWE as guest hosts or other parts in the past (ie. Bob Barker, Jon Heder as "The Flame", David Arquette, etc."

Will you release accessory packs, possibly one with belts?
Will belts be released with Basic, PPV, 2-Packs, etc?
Will the original Nexus be released soon?
Thanks!

Why is the distribution to Toys R Us so terrible? Why is the distribution so erratic everywhere?

Why is the distribution to Toys R Us so terrible? Why is the distribution so erratic everywhere? I believe it is because the main TRU place is messed up. Mattel sends all their stuff to the main TRU place. Then the TRU stores get figures from the main place. So it is the main place that  s up not Mattel. I believe that is how it works for K-Mart and Target so I guess that would work for TRU as well. |
