You are probably right but it’s their fault for wanting the money up front when no other company does crowd funding that way. So out of touch. Who doesn’t do crowdfunding this way? This is exactly how crowd funding works. I’ve personally done Kickstarter campaigns that worked just like this. The crowd funds the production of the product. If they didn’t need the crowds money to fund it, it would be like any other sale of a product. I mean taking the money upfront rather than when the campaign ends. What did you think I meant? Obviously I know crowd funding means it isn’t put into production until they get enough numbers. That is very, very obvious.

They’re gonna screw themselves then blame collectors for not buying it just like they did with the original Legends line. Yup. I think they need to look in the mirror. Steve is a lot more in touch with what the audience wants than Bill but still you can’t always put the blame on the collector. It’s almost midnight and it’s still sitting at 719 people funding this thing. It’s early but I think it’s looking like a failure. To be honest the tiers could be much better. When I think of New Generation I think of Shawn & Bret 1996 era, not 1994 with Diesel & Doink even if that is considered the New Generation.

If this looks like it will reach 7000, I'll back it, but not sure I'm interested in spending so much without the Doink figure. If it was Doink instead of Diesel, I'd be in. My fear is if people wait like this instead of backing now or waiting until the end it will cause low numbers that will scare others off and this probably won't even hit the 5K You are probably right but it’s their fault for wanting the money up front when no other company does crowd funding that way. So out of touch.

"How should we pose the chase?" "I dunno...just go with a Hunchback of Notre Dame thing or something" LOL I laughed so hard at this! The final photography for these figures recently has been so bad. Jazwares needs to stop being cheap and hire someone better.

What are some Ringside Exclusives you regret passing on? For me it’s the pink Bret Hart and the DX Shawn Michaels.

Wrestling figure collectors are the most impatient, entitled people. No other collector is as impatient and entitled as a wrestling figure collector.

This was such a stupid idea to have all the PPV sets share the same DPCI number. Can’t even fully blame Target for this one. It was another bad decision by Mattel. If you had a WrestleMania Matt Hardy sit for MONTHS why would Target want more? They don’t know the characters just the DPCI.
DIS-DIS-DISTRIBUTION PROBLEMS!

Can we see a re-release of the pallet accessory and the Canadian flag?

Isn’t it ironic that Mattel packed these 5 per case to not have this problem, only to still have this problem.
Sting or no Sting, packing Heenan two per case was a horrible idea. Mattel obviously hasn’t, and never will learn from their past mistakes. The legends line likely won’t make it past series 10 at Target.

Lol maybe Mattel will take their time for once now that they have competition from Jazwares.

Anyone else think Mattel is starting to crack with the pressure of the AEW line? Some of these mistakes are late Jakks era mistakes. Lazy funhouse Bray, Kane missing studs on belt, Kofi with painted knee pads, a belt not being sculpted for Ultimate Fiend. I can go on and on. I’ve never seen Mattel get this lazy. It may have to do with costs but when Jazwares is providing a quality product with amazing articulation it’s easy to compare what you get from Mattel for $20-$30.

He's their number two babyface and before the era of empty arena shows he was getting the biggest reactions of anyone from the live crowds. AEW fans cheered for Jack Swagger Actually they booed the hell out of him. Do you even watch?

Why anyone would be mad at AEW over this is ridiculous. What a bunch of entitled babies. Mattel had the license for Sting figures for what 5 or 6 years? That’s on Mattel for waiting this long to release an early crow Sting.

Has Target ever been accurate with a pre-order? This is Retro Fest and the Red Rooster all over again.

How come Elite 77 AJ Styles doesn’t have Too Sweet hands? Wouldn’t this have been the perfect opportunity to re-introduce those hands?

What was the point of announcing it if it isn’t live on YouTube? More bush league errors from Mattel.

Yay another Seth Rollins figure! Maybe we can round the set out with Shinsuke Nakamura, AJ Styles, and Finn Balor to really clog the shelves with product that won't move for months!

If you have any kind of good job then good luck finding these exclusives. Neck beards with nothing to do all day but refresh popfindr, beat the real collectors to the store and call being rude to the employees. Not to mention it brings attention to the exclusive and employees scalp them up. I mean the box does say collectors edition on it.
