kanekilledvince: Currently, do you plan on working with a serious, realistic representation of the wrestlers, or dominating your product line with caricature-style action figures?
mattel: We will dominate the line with realistic representations of the wrestlers and lightly experiment with other design variations.

Well thanks Kanekilledvince for getting one of my questions in almost verbatim:
They will dominate the line with realistic representations and only lightly experiment with other design variations.

Mattel rules they answered every single question I asked. ;D I must have asked 30 different questions and not one of them have been answered. There must be some sort of problem because I notice a few people like naparo01 have had several answered. |

i know they arent really telling us anything with this chat, but its more detailed than anything i've experienced with Jakks thus far.

Even I've had nothing answered  I've tried asking a few variations of What is likely to be the lowest "1 of" number that exclusive figures will be limited to?The thing is that I wanted to know if Mattel will make crazy deals like Jakks made with Ultimate Warrior when they gave him his own 1 of 5 figure. God bless. |

jakks tend to cut corners when it comes to cloth accessories, paint jobs etc. will you guys be similar?
they aim to provide us with the necessary detail we want.

They answered my question. Wow! jakks tend to cut corners when it comes to cloth accessories, paint jobs etc. will you guys be similar? they aim to provide us with the necessary detail we want. Deuce_and_Domino: With Jakks it seems as if they do whatever they can to cut costs. Obviously collectors will want full paint jobs and cloth clothing. Will you be willing to go the extra mile that JAKKS won't and give us this detail? Thanks mattel: We will do everything we can to deliver what you guys want be it deco, soft goods or accessories |

someone addressed the scale issue, tall people being tall, short being short, etc.
"we know this is a major issue with the line. keeping in scale would be our ideal solution"
will figures have blood?
"not likely"
he shoulda asked will we get 'battle damaged' figures.

well blackjack, they arent gonna say "we'll cheap out when we can. whatever it takes to keep some $$$ in our pocket."
are they?
__________________________________________________________-
you said there wont be exclusive body moulds. does this mean rey and show will have the same torso (what a intellectually- disabled question)
No. they will have a variety of torsos.
someone asked about cameramen, etc. (staff figures)
they replied with "thats funny. perhaps."
so no hope of that then, sorry assassin.
