So the biggest news from this Q&A is that The Bunny will be coming out? Great. Can't wait to see those taking up 17 pegs at Target for the next year. And how can they possibly cut down on articulation on Basic figures? They might as well just scrap the line entirely if they're gonna start cutting things like shoulder and elbow joints. All very disappointing. Bicep joint and boot joint are the obvious two. |

I'm just glad we now know that DM was never going to be Jericho...and I for one am glad. Happy to hear IRS hasn't been shelved and he's still on his way and also glad confirmation came that HOF is selling well, that's a big line for me. HOF line is great. It gives us extra Legends and Flashbacks, so I'm happy with that! HOF series is awesome. except for the fact that it can't have Undertaker, Kane, Rock, HHH, Rick Rude, British Bulldog, Bam Bam Bigelow, Rick Martel, Sting, One Man Gang, Honky Tonk Man, Christian, Lex Luger, Miss Elizabeth, Goldust, DDP, Big Boss Man, Mark Henry, Prince Albert, Brian Pillman, New Age Outlaws, Earthquake, X-Pac, Magnum TA, Chris Jericho, RVD or Crush in it |

I'm pretty sure 'Taker's a lock for 2016. |

I'm thinking the rerelease is Nash. Makes sense as another in hof 3 wave. I don't see it. Theres so many other attires, it would be a better option to just repaint him in another Nash singlet. I'm thinking it's E12 Kane, they just add the left sleeve and boom, everyone is happy. They just released that wm31 Kane I don't see them doing that again. Nash just got into the hof, we have hall coming out it just fits the bill. |

I may be alone in this but my first thought was a new Booker T in the HOF line. I just don't see the point of putting out King Booker again. There's so many other Booker gimmicks that should be done first, as with Nash as he has so many outfits. E12 Kane with a left sleeve would be perfect, very different from the high priced original but at the same time very similar. Plus Kane's career has basically been hit by multiple flashbacks |

I appreciated the explanation regarding IRS and the admission that Snuka is the figure Bill would most like to redo.

Good Q&A. RSC picked good questions and I feel we got solid answers.
Noelle though. Ugh.

That's easily the worst figure in the line. I understand WHY they did it the way they did but they just over-thought it. |

Two thoughts coming out of the interview with Bill:
1) I'm sure Noelle Foley is a great person, but if she continues to do interviews and segments she needs to add personality. There were spots where it got pretty rough. Not trying to pile on or hate, just add constructive thought.
2) Mattel has fought on MULTIPLE occasions to cut the articulation in the Basic line?!? I'm glad Bill floated that out there for us, it makes me appreciate his work even more (honestly, I didn't think that was possible lol). I'm guessing boot and wrist articulation would get the boot, but I wonder if waist articulation is on the block as well...I'm scared guys...Bill, you MUST keep fighting!!!

I'm sure Mattel don't want to see a drop in sales. If they cut the articulation, then a drop in sales is exactly what they're going to get. |

Great q and a. I want some brass knuckles for my macho man and ric flair figures bill.. And I want them yesterday lol
They would be awesome if he made them to slip on the hands that arnt fully open or fully closed
That d.m must have been Owen, bill said it was "Massive" , talked about a possible slammy accessorie and who in the world is a big enough name that mdt would work on without having the rights to
When bill was asked about hogan, flair and sting in the past , he would say as soon as we get the rights to them, I'll start working on them ASAP.....
Owens the golden grail.... It would have to be him.... Mattel has new legends contracts, I bet Goldberg is one, hopefully they can charm Owens wife

Who said it has to be another King Booker? What other flashback Booker is there to re-release? I'm sure he didn't literally mean re-release the figure. Just release another version of the same person. |

Fight Bill Fight This is gonna sound heelish, but I wouldn't mind divas getting basic hips, for me they're too brittle to have that much articulation. |
