What does the future hold for RA style bodies?!

Jeremy_Padawer(A)

First of all, thank you for taking time out of your evening to chat with me today. Hello from Jeremy Padawer at Jakks Pacific!

RCD(Q)

Are there any plans for a Sandman figure in the classics or possibly a ECW line?

Jeremy_Padawer(A)

To answer - "what does the future hold for RA body style." Basically, the short answer is more of the same. I don't want to fix what's not broken. If I've learned anything from the collector community, it's this... Regarding Sandman, absolutely. Sandman, and any ECW superstar who joins the ECW, will be appearing in future assortments. ECW assortments will be replacing Ring Rage assortments in 2007.

ken_shamrock(Q)

any plans for a cs .5 series ..a god way to put out repaints !

Jeremy_Padawer(A)

not at this time.

ken_shamrock(Q)

is mr fuji signed

Jeremy_Padawer(A)

no.

DSGISASTALLION(Q)

How many more years will we be seeing classic superstars?

Jeremy_Padawer(A)

Right now, we have the assortments planned through 2007, and they are still strong. I believe we're going to hit CS #20. My personal goal has always been to release every important Classic Superstar. Remember... when we just started this line, it was the best of the 70's, 80's and 90's. We started in 2003. It's going to be 2007! That's 4 years later. So, I think it's fair to say that there are a few superstars from 2000-2001 who might creep in.

undertaker16(Q)

When are Jakks going to make a RAW,Smackdown, or PPV RSR?

Jeremy_Padawer(A)

The Real Scale Ring for 2007 (this will be the 3rd version) will be the ELIMINATION CHAMBER!!! This will be the single largest ring in the history of Jakks.

beckett(Q)

hi jeremy, will the wm ticket promo be in the uk

Jeremy_Padawer(A)

The ticket promotion is available anywhere in the world.

sherri(Q)

now that sensational sherri is signed to a cs deal when will the figure be released? specifically, which assortment/assortments will she be in?

Jeremy_Padawer(A)

Ha. You are pretty good at finding me. Sherri will be released in 2007...

ken_shamrock(Q)

any movement on honky tonk man or randy savage

Jeremy_Padawer(A)

We are making some headway with Honky Tonk Man. There might be some misunderstanding in regard to what signing to Jakks program means with HTM. However, I can clear that up with him. Randy Savage is still not approved.

lprc(Q)

Will Nacho Libre have a figure line?

Jeremy_Padawer(A)

Do you want a Jack Black figure?

beckett(Q)

oh and thanks for the work you have done for the wwe line

Jeremy_Padawer(A)

My pleasure. I think I'm 60% heel today, huh? I'll take it.

RCD(Q)

If CM Punk joins the ECW brand is there a chance for a figure of him?

Jeremy_Padawer(A)

absolutely. every ECW superstar is fair game.

jackfrostarmy(Q)

Any chance of Andy Kaufman?

Jeremy_Padawer(A)

Yes. He has been approved to approach. Is this of interest? It is to me. But, I'm definitely biased (having grown up in Memphis, TN. I love Memphis. Anyone out there from Memphis give me a COWBELL sound.

TWIH(Q)

Jeremy, thanks a million dude, will the UK be recieving the Rocky figures?

Jeremy_Padawer(A)

yup! Rocky is going to be amazing. We've signed everyone.

Nderic(Q)

How limited is the Mr. America Exclusive?

Jeremy_Padawer(A)

It could be incredibly limited. It's going to be based upon how many people send in the 22 tickets with UPCs. I'm going to order hundreds of pieces for inventory. If we happen to give away all, I'll order more. Give me a BOO if you are upset about Mr. America? I think I lived up to my end of the bargain. Would any of you really want this figure to be a character never ever released in another way? For instance, if this were Macho Man, how mad would you have been? I think this was at least a top-3 scenario. My other favorite was McMahon with yellow jacket, and I will continue to try to get this approved.

Hacker(Q)

Is the RSR Elimination Chamber going to be scaled like the RSR, and what will the price point be on that one?

Jeremy_Padawer(A)

The price on the RSR Elimination Chamber is going to be steep. We have to do this right. To do this right means that the ring cage will be enormous. I'm guessing $69.99+.

hellogoodbyehellogoodbye(Q)

Why did you leave the back of Trever Murdoch's flannel vest plain white?

Jeremy_Padawer(A)

When we have to make cost reduction decisions, it's best to start with the back of the figure. This is the honest answer. I expect you'd see through any other answer.

grogg(Q)

Jeremy, thanks for the chat. What would you say has been your biggest disappointment in the Classic line? What would be your favorite accomplishment in the line?

Jeremy_Padawer(A)

Great question. My greatest disappointment has been the lack of Owen Hart and Macho Man Randy Savage in the line. My favorite accomplishment has been the revolution that we've started together. Like me or hate me, we're part of the same community. I'm glad to be here. I plan on being with you for at least 1 more year. That would make a 4 year run. Now ask yourself, are you better off today then 4 years ago in the WWE line? Heh. It's like the Presidency, except maybe just about 0.00000000001% as important!

lprc(Q)

Will we have Owen Hart in the future?

Jeremy_Padawer(A)

Probably not. I'm trying, but I have to respect Owen's family. I can not release a figure without their signature. So, while it's not impossible and while I expect that you will be shocked in the future at who we pull off (in terms of signings), but this is not a super likely figure in the near future.

jbarrett777(Q)

When will we see a proto of Mr America?

Jeremy_Padawer(A)

Approximately 1 month. Again, regarding Mr. America, are you sure you would have rather had Macho Man or Owen? Imagine if we had done this and limited that figure ONLY to those of you who spent the money to collect all 22 figures. It wouldn't be right.

CandymanKevinBaker(Q)

Have any new ECW stars been scanned since the re-addition of ECW??

Jeremy_Padawer(A)

Not yet.

CMD(Q)

Is their any possibility for a Legion of Doom 3-Pack of Hawk, Animal, and "Precious" Paul Elllering?

Jeremy_Padawer(A)

absolutely.

jbarrett777(Q)

Are there any plans to make more classic belts such as WCW or ECW ones?

Jeremy_Padawer(A)

absolutely.

Pfrchaos(Q)

Will there be anymore Sabu figures released?

Jeremy_Padawer(A)

Yes.

hellogoodbyehellogoodbye(Q)

Is Carlito ever going to come with a removable cloth hawiain shirt?

Jeremy_Padawer(A)

That's disgusting.

ken_shamrock(Q)

::biggrin i %%%%%%% love the cs line thanks so much jakks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jeremy_Padawer(A)

BIG UPS. I'm from the street, as you know.

ClubberSasso(Q)

Any news on the line-up for the Classic DA series?

Jeremy_Padawer(A)

Hogan, Rock, Piper, Flair series #1.

derekomac(Q)

As a collector of Rey Mysterio I was just wondering how well does he sale and is it really needed to have him in all most every set

Jeremy_Padawer(A)

He is remarkably popular. Over the top popular.

Sodaguy(Q)

pimpdaddysatan(Q)

Any plans for more WCW Classic Suoer Stars from the 90's, like Disco, Vampiro, Harlem Heat, Alex Wright, Buff Bagwell, ETC??

Jeremy_Padawer(A)

Yes.

WE_WANT_RAZOR_RAMON(Q)

Jeremy_Padawer(A)

We're relatively close to signing Razor (cross my fingers).

takerrules(Q)

Ya Jeremy!! Mr America is right on!

Jeremy_Padawer(A)

TheGang(Q)

Will we see Warlord & Barbarian, aka Powers of Pain produced at some point? Thanks

Jeremy_Padawer(A)

I hope so. I'd sign both of htem.

Sodaguy(Q)

When will the HELL IN THE CELL playset be in stores?!

Jeremy_Padawer(A)

This will be at TRU on approximately July 9, 2006.

ThugSuperstar(Q)

Are there any plans on doing a CS Cactus Jack?

Jeremy_Padawer(A)

Yes. I'm going to write this down again. Promise to try.

ineedmorefigs(Q)

Why has Cactus Jack been pulled from the Extreme Superstars 2-Pack for K-Mart

Jeremy_Padawer(A)

We do not yet have the rights to sign Cactus.

Godz(Q)

Can we get Abdullah the Butcher and Stan Hansen classic superstars figures?

Jeremy_Padawer(A)

Abdullah is coming.

mrfnperfect(Q)

Any chance of seeing a two-pack AWA version of Scott Hall and Curt Hennig?

Jeremy_Padawer(A)

Yes. I'm working on it.

greensborohill(Q)

What's the status of Ricky Steamboat? Isn't he currently a WWE employee?

Jeremy_Padawer(A)

Ricky Steamboat is not signed. It's been relatively complicated to get him signed. I hope to sign it.

Jrfjr126(Q)

When are we getting Mickie James?

Jeremy_Padawer(A)

Yes. She is going to be an exclusive for an internet account - shortly.
