I realy dont understand what Mattel thought by making Rey and THIS Hogan the first 2 figures. Steve if you read this.... give us Steiner and Warrior instead of Rey and Hogan Please make it happen Mattel.

Character selection is definitely the issue here. Should of made Steiner the early bird and swapped out Rey and Warrior or Hogan for Hall and Nash. There's definitely some Character fatigue with Rey, Hogan, and Warrior. Idk how you can say character fatigue when the original argument against the Hogan was “it should’ve been Savage” I'm not saying Savage should have been the early backer, but at least his figures can offer different looks and colors. Would definitely have been a better choice than Hogan.

I don't understand the joy some people get seeing stuff taken away from others. If you won't want it, cool but enjoying others misery is stupid. I'm certainly not taking any joy as I want this to get funded. I just want to see Mattel give backers the figures they actually want instead of forcing more of the same old. I've already said I'll back two as soon as I'm guaranteed Steiner at a minimum. Take Rey and Hogan out (or move them to the back) and I'm in.

I'm really surprised by the lack of any sort of surge today - never guaranteed it would've been enough to hit 5k, but I wasn't expecting this level of dead. That's what happens when you decide to put the two least desirable figures as the first two unlocked.

Here's to hoping that if the Hogan early backer doesn't reach tonight Mattel will pivot and move Steiner to the top of list along with either DDP or Warrior. Bump boring old Hogan and Rey to the back and give the collectors the figures they actually want so we can get this thing backed.

That's probably why they did it this way. They figured that the stage itself would be interesting enough to get 5K backers that it wouldn't matter what figure they put at that tier. Seeing how Warrior and Steiner are the two most popular figures in the set by far, they were probably hoping that those two figures alone would drive this thing to 11K. Having Steiner as the early backer figure and Warrior as the initial figure, or vice versa, and Hogan and Rey at the last two tiers, they probably figured it would never even get close to 9K or 11K. I understand this logic... buuuuut with the price increase over the New Gen set - and the sheer size of the stage - wouldn't it have been better to front-load it (with Steiner and Warrior) to make sure it actually gets made? Exactly.

Rey Mysterio... 1 vote. WTF were Mattel thinking, making this the only guaranteed figure? 🤦♂️ Yeah. It was definitely a GREAT idea to make the pack-in figure yet ANOTHER freaking Rey Mysterio figure. He's really drawing everyone in as you can tell by both the poll and backer numbers.

I want the DDP and Steiner ultimates from this lot the most. No way they are hitting the numbers to unlock them so not bothering to submit an order. If those 2 were the 5,000 goal instead of Hogan and Rey id bet this would be much closer to being funded. Exactly. And everyone knows this. What was Mattel thinking?

Maybe Mattel should have included the most desirable figure(s) from the start instead of forcing more of the same on the backers.

I really want to back this but yet ANOTHER boring Hogan and Rey isn't going to entice myself and many others. Mattel should really pivot and replace those two with Steiner and DDP.

I'm confused. We're always told that Hogan and Rey are such massive sellers. So where are all of these Hogan and Rey fans to get this project funded and started?

I love the people who have no interest in backing this feel they still need to complain about it. We get it. You don’t like the stage and/or figures. That or it’s too expensive. Cool. It’s been a week since it’s been revealed. Why are still obsessed with it if you have no interest in purchasing it? I do want to back it just not as it stands currently. As I've already said previously: push Hogan and Rey to the back of the line and bump up Steiner and DDP to the first two figures and I'll back two right now.

Can I ask a serious question? If you haven’t backed the nitro fund yet can I know why? Do you plan to later? Is it too much? Little to no interest? Don’t like the tiers? For me I’m not backing right now because I have little interest in the tiers and the ones I’m kinda interested in I don’t think it will meet depending on what we have seen so far, nothing to do with price ,the price is understandable if all tiers are met Because the order/tiers of figures is trash. Move Hogan and Rey to the back of the line and I'll order two right now.

I'm sure this has been said in the previous 70 pages, but moving the order of figs around may have been the way to do this. What's the correct order for max interest? Early Bird Scott Steiner Tier 1: DDP Tier 2: Warrior Tier 3: Rey Tier 4: Hulk Moving the undesirables to the back means people are more likely to back early to secure Steiner and DDP as they’re the heavy hitters here. Steiner as an actual early bird to drive the ‘oh I better back this now cos I want this first Scott’. Plus he’s the only NWO part of this set, so at minimum you’re left with a WCW guy and an NWO guy. Warrior is a sought after attire so he keeps interest going up to around 7k. By the time you’ve passed him people are confident enough in the value to continue pushing towards the last couple figs. Then you have Rey and finally the Hogan cos it’s basically a rerelease. This is exactly what should have been done from the start. I'd like to know the thought process behind putting the two most undesirable figures as the first two included. If the order of figures is moved to the list I quoted above I will back two sets right now.

id love to visit the parallel universe where the figures are in a different order, and see how far we would be along right now in the number of backers That's what I've been saying since this was announced. I would love to know the thought process of not only including Hogan and Rey period, but making them the first two figures that are unlocked. Mind boggling stuff.

It’s pretty simple actually: If you like it/want it, buy it. If you don’t, then don’t back it. Life goes on. While I don't fully disagree with this theory, the crowdfund element makes it a bit more nuanced than that. Someone could want it (and have the money to buy it) but mainly want DDP, Steiner, and Warrior and then end up getting none of them. While obviously that's a risk when backing any crowdfund, I do think the consternation with this set is more pronounced because of the way the tiers are aligned. Exactly. Why in the world are Hogan and Rey the first two figures? If they are truly these great sellers that everyone always buys then they should have put them at the last two tiers to ensure we get the highest number of backers.

Can you please consider shifting the figures for each tier in the new WCW crowdfund campaign? DDP and Steiner need to be the very first two figs unlocked. Hogan and Rey should be bumped to the last tiers or replaced altogether.

As I said in the other thread: Get Rey and Hogan the hell out of this set and bump up DDP and Steiner to their slots.
