Official Ringside Fest 12 Discussion - RECAP VIDEO ADDED!

[The Assassin]

Yeh although I was pleased one of my questions was asked, I must admit a few of the questions chosen seemed a bit random and pointless, especially considering how short the Q&A was.

For example, the question about why Ambrose's jeans aren't the exact perfect shape. Exactly how many people asked about that? 1? Maybe 2? Did they pick this question as a joke or something? There was a ton more original and liked questions than that in the thread.

And surely the questions where the answers were obviously on display at the show should have been the first to get vetoed (e.g. will we get more multipack flashbacks).

It's not that I don't appreciate Ringside and the crew for putting this together for us, but I wish whoever is choosing the questions could channel the enthusiasm and passion to not ask questions we already know the answers to (multipack flashbacks) or questions virtually nobody would care about (ambrose's jeans).

Regarding the Dudleys, I would've liked to know whether or not to anticipate ECW/early WWF debut tye-dye Dudleys or just the camo versions. I really want the ECW version but have no idea if they'll just skip it for their more recognizable look. Seems like if they have to make modern versions in both Elite and Basic, coupled with the obvious Attitude Era ones (maybe the blue tigerstripe since the current look is basically the same), it might put the ECW versions years down the road. Who knows their contract status by then.

Really wish she would've asked about her dad and the Cactus Jack figure. That's the burning question right now pertaining to HOF3.

I think it would help a ton if they had someone conduct these interviews who is as hardcore into wrestling figures as Bill is. They'd actually be capable of follow up questions or comments instead of "Cool."

[East Coast]

welp...that q&a was half as long as last years...and way sucky.

but at least it got posted quick. I could've answered like 80% of those questions myself.

I always find it odd, that Bill didn't collect LJN's. Thats the era i grew up with....and he's probably a little older than me...i assume thats what was around when he was into wrestling too???

but i swear on multiple occassions he said he didn't like LJN.

[bharrisfan]

^ wow how could anyone not like ljn?

ljn and wcw galoob's were my favorite. i'll take those over hasbro & jakks. not mattel tho

edit: yikes just google imaged ljns. some of those were really weird looking with noodle limbs. some still look really good though for the time.
anyway wcw galoobs i think still hold up--proportion-wise, sculpt-wise etc

It'd be awesome if RSC did a deal to give a random member a free trip to RSF each year as the guest interviewer to do the q&a with Bill. It'd be great for us and possibly put Bill more in touch with us hardcore collectors. They probably wouldn't like me though because I would veer off of the piss poor questions REAL quick lol

[Sean]

What a crapQ&A nearly every Q&A they ask if the legends line will return? Like ask new questions already

[legendsguy]

nothing really groundbreaking from the Q&A , but overalll glad to see Legends in a lot of places now. i just hope its not overkill.

No news from the Q and A...

Everything was a maybe, in consideration, no, or hypothetical

Only real news is a Ryback new torso.

This is why I'm so glad fans can ask questions at RSF because that's where we get the real news. The RSC ones are kinda bogus ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#DI-WHY? - Did you get chance to ask Bill any questions at RSF? I know you gathered some question ideas a few weeks back

[Ember's Flame]

I will say I like how Ringside posted the Q & A quickly.

[RingsideC2]

To be a little more constructive if you didn't like the questions, why don't you post what question you would have asked instead?

Jim Neidhart has a legends deal. Is he getting a figure?

[Chip]

Bill's initial reaction to the Ambrose question perfectly sums up why these Q&A's are the way they are.

[Deleted]

It doesn't look like it but I hope we get some more of Doink too. I'd love to see at least one more with his blue or red jacket and maybe a variant with his paint smeared and worn off-post match. I wasn't a big fan of the multiple wigs either. Creative idea, but I'd like to see one with the wig fixed onto his head.

[kiloinnorcal]

Would have liked for Noel to have had some follow up questions to some of Bill's answers.

[Daniel F'n Bryan]

Who asks these questions?! Holy crap. I think there were 2 relevant questions out of them all. Definitely not the "most liked questions" on wfigs.

Are RSC exclusives going to be the main outlet for NWO figures?

What attire will elite Flashback Y2J be in?

Will Austin's vest ever say BMF?

Will you make sure Wolfpac Sting gets red boots?

What is the status on a 97-98 Flashback Undertaker?

Any chance to release another 97-98 Kane with a new sculpt?

Since you are aware Mr. Perfect is out of scale, will he be released again in correct scale?

Why was NWO Hall white and black and not red and black?

Are you doing anything to correct the packaging info problems?

Are there any new names who can be made?

What was the deal about the latest WWE title?

Why couldn't the Walgreen's DX HBK been a 97-98 HBK?

What is with the body hair irregularities?

Why does Bray have a tucked in shirt and small arms?

Why do you keep giving elite Ziggler bigger arms than he needs when the basic gets the correct ones?

Since you mix and match attires, why can't you paint Brock's shorts another color than black?

Why doesn't the two new elite Savages have a shirt?

Will you give the new DM Sting the correct boots?

Will you try to get hair colors more exact?

Why so many smiling scans?

Will we get a One Man Gang?

Stuff like that. We already know that if stuff sells well then it will continue just like we know the "Legends Line" isn't returning.

[#DI-WHY?]

Seriously. I found out a crap ton more than RSC did:

New Day Elites confirmed

WCW title belts cannot be made because they lack the rights to the belts

Bill does not know how basic 44 and 55 Kanes ended up half Elite, half basic

Bunny is being released because too much time, effort, and money was spent on his figure

Bill says basic 58 will not be released until February-March

2016 was supposed to be the year of the NWO figures but a certain someone got themself in trouble

Enzo and Cass and Vaudevillains are "very likely"

And more that I can't remember

Where is Lita? Is Cameron and Tamina getting a updated figure soon??

[Deleted]

I sense WAY too much sarcasm in this q&a... Almost that it's a joke that we even ask questions for bill to answer.

I really learned nothing new from this... And I did submit a question. Are these randomly selected? There's no way those questions got the most votes....
