Powertown is a collectible action figure Mattel & jazzwares are action figure in the toy aisle.
There is a difference. I understand if you are disappointed but it’s been a year,Stop complaining about scale.

$49.99 each $189.99 Full Bundle I just can’t rationalize buying these at that price given it is current roster from a smaller promotion and the articulation is not as good as $22 elites or AEW figures. I know it is an issue of a smaller company with smaller volume, but I just can’t pay that much personally for these and be ok with it. Mattel & jazzwares are meant for collectors as well as kids to play with. Powertown is strictly collectors to be posed and placed on a shelf. So $50 isn’t terrible for a top quality collectible but my issue is; i don’t care about tna enough to spend $50 on a current tna star. Curious how well this preorder does. Maybe there are more tna fans & diehards out there then I realize.

Finishing up mass production and getting ready to ship. Will be available in grey and black. With sliding features so you can adjust for feet layout on the figure. So it will work for both Big Rubber Guys and original LJN. Will most likely be selling in bundles of 2 for $25 2 for $25 sounds a lot just for stands 😬 Agreed especially since it’s not sounding like anything special, Just grey or black. I would be interested & think someone producing ljn or BRG stands in mass quantities would attract a lot Of collectors but gotta do better than that. PASS

If you are debating then you probably aren’t ready to sell but could be getting closer. Maybe in 6 months from now you will be ready to have that attic space cleared out.
Prioritizes what you collect and what YOU value. If you kept the first couple sentimental waves of hasbro, would they be displayed or still in the attic?

I ordered Hacksaw & 2 Missing Links, imo, best looking figures in the wave. Any word on who's gonna be in wave 2? They just put this up for presale. Given Powertown current speed, don’t expect wave 2 news for awhile.

In the same vein as the sgt slaughter they did, killer Kahn is a great candidate.

We are trying to keep repaints limited unless (in our opinion) absolutely warranted. We feel these Blue Mania 2 Bulldogs are warranted. I’m so excited for you guys to see our April pre-orders. 3 figs. Any guesses? Any hopes? Magnum needs his tag team partner for America’s Team, Dusty Rhodes! ?

We Got the Nwa promo flair, getting magnum, so think next should be nwa dusty. Maybe they could do an alternate polka dot dusty in the same wave

I assume these uncirculated figures are from the batch where the legs were snapping off? I'm interested in the Verne so i might still bite on it, but just curious if I'm correct in my assumption. Yes, hence why it was uncirculated and says for ‘display only’

Everyone? Have you read this thread mate? I think he means zombie gets praised and a pass (bc he friends with the major pod guys? Or allegedly works with original sculptor or designers?) where others getting killed for these long wait time. I think zombie may be the best of all the mediocre hasbro reincarnation lines. But way overpriced like everyone else and the likeness are hit & miss. Which a lot of people (not everyone) are willing to overlook more for him than others.

As far as what they are going to do for the 4 Horsemen, they promised something special. I have no idea what that could be, except that they absolutely have to have Ric Flair for this, and if I am being honest, they need both Ole Anderson and Barry Windham too. Maybe that is the thing. We know they have Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard. So they need Flair, Ole, and Windham to encapsule the top two versions of the Horseman. JJ Dillon too. Hopefully we get news on all this soon. Maybe for ‘something special’ for the horsemen they do a special series and they do a box set bundle with ole & one with Windham, or you get them all?? Should be interesting but this what has me most excited about powertown. Finally getting a collection of peak mid 80s nwa. We got Magnum, (depending on the look wahoo may fit) horsemen are coming and we know koloffs & rnx are eventually coming as well.

Awesome collection! The lights & detolf backdrops of nitro stage, new gen, etc look great!
Jealous of how clean it looks. It is So hard to display everything without looking too cluttered for me.

I wouldn’t like a change in size. If they want to start tna in a smaller scale fine but don’t have ultra s2 be out of scale with s1. Powertown, even if scaled down, aren’t going to blend in with your jazzwares & mattels anyways. So why bother In what way? I don’t own any yet so I’m not sure if you are referencing their detail, posture, or what exactly. They are thicker & wider in addition to being an inch taller in scale. Powertown blend in better with storm collectibles. Powertown like Storm feel like a more high end figure but also more fragile too. (Not that I’ve had any issues with breaking but a Mattel could nosedive off your shelf and can pick it back up not sure if powertown wouldn’t be unscathed) It’s not a diss towards Mattel/jazzwares or powertown. I like them all
