Current PowerTown figure owners: how would you feel if they went to a smaller scale (closer to Mattel/Jazzwares)? Would it make a difference with your current display or is it something you would be fine with overlooking? Honestly, the only argument I can think of offhand for keeping them at the larger scale is that it allows for easier detailing. 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

Wow! Flair and Marty sold out on ringside without a single social post from them nor us. 11 Slaughters left. Those will be gone in any minute. Thanks guys! Yeah, I never had a chance. ….well besides the pre order months ago lol Congrats on the success. This line is a winner

An update on (most of) my 16d Collection figures from Japan. since stacking 40-ish boxes on top of each other takes up way too much room, (from my office desk alone, the boxes could reach the ceiling), I decided to try out Zakk Ryder's famous toy philosophy of "letting them breathe". The result looks like a N64 Wrestling game cover: I’ll say it again; Super impressive collection! Cool to see them all together. 16d/ HAO figures are probably the most underrated wrestling figure line. Finally got misawa & Hansen coming my way.

I don’t watch tna but I know who the tna guys are and of course Jordynne grace made a big hit at the rumble. But is anyone dropping $50 per on these?!

Looks like a much better likeness unpainted.

Just ordered Magnum … he’ll be my very first big rubber guys figure … I’m hoping to build a pretty decent collection of Nwa guys as they make them, hopefully we’ll get a lot more old school names from this era in the future … I would have grabbed Flair if he hadn’t been in street clothes so here’s to hoping there is a version of him in ring attire later on … it would be great if these were packaged with the belts they held, like Magnum coming with the U.S title … perhaps it’s another idea to ponder for the future unless the likeness of the championships are not possible due to Wwe copyrights Yeah, would be cool to get a nwa collection going. Magnum is my first order too. LJNs weren’t big on belts besides hogan? So maybe down the line add belts but for nowI’m not bothered by the lack of belts.

I just ordered regular Hacksaw (so I’ll probably get my order later than others again, oh well). As for Ringside, I believe they surprisingly did not mark up the regular versions of Demolition, only the variants (by $10 if memory serves). But on a recent interview with Wrestling Figure News Podcast, Kanik said that Ringside ordered less of Series 3, so be prepared to order fast! Good info. Why is your order taking longer to ship? Do they ship to people who order the whole series first?

First BRG order placed for Magnum. Now I wouldn’t of mind having that Flair. I’m guessing he’ll be on Ringside soon What was ringside mark up price for past releases?

Ultimates & elites are mixed. Basics with a couple exceptions don’t make the loose display

I wish they had made them the same size as the original HAO figures. I had a Hayabusa at one point and it was so impressive looking size wise. Yeah, I prefer the size of the bigger HAO as well.

Summerslam 1989. I have been asking for this figure since Elite 77 Rick Rude. I don't know what the hold up is. 100% this. Sure I would love some of the other attires mentioned but this 1989 is an obvious hole.

Good idea to unbox them! They look great & the boxes are kinda bulky.
I may need to steal your idea and put the triple crown on mutoh as well.

A redo of SS92, once Macho and Flair are resigned would be my most wanted. Blade Runners would be a nice choice as it’s an era of his career that isn’t coveted. Aside from that another 96 or WCW era figure as those only have one release each. I would love a redo of summerslam 92. That figure wasnt bad but a victim of the early technology & would really benefit from all the new details & tassels etc. plus add the duster.

As a Warrior guy...I think it is fair to say that the fig probably spent just a smidge long in the oven, but the fig is outrageously good. The duster, the colors, the head sculpts, so good. It has taken forever for Mattel to get these tans translated to figs like Hogan and Warrior so I'm really happy. Hopefully Mattel sees the feedback and maybe dials it back just a notch on the next Warrior figure, but I think the positives outweigh the negatives here exponentially. Early front runner for fig of the year in my opinion Agreed. Everyone getting caught up in the tan Are missing how the likeness & details were pretty much nailed.
