Also UK prices are a lot more so due to exchange rates so we will put these out at the same price as the website but in uk pounds

Where's this base of people that said they'd buy them no matter what they cost? The people in this thread are probably the people most passionate and eager to buy them and I haven't heard anyone say "I'm buying them even if they're $50 per figure". I'm guessing you don't have this deal in writing because that would kinda be impossible without an agreed upon wholesale price. Never mind the fact that you haven't even seen the product. Also, the toy company said they'd be selling them for about the price of an elite through their own website. Dont you think you'd have to mark them up, or will you just settle for that smaller profit? Will they be being shipped directly from their factories (presumably in China) to you guys? We have a store the world doesnt revolve around this board. we asked consumers if they would be interested if they were same prices as elites and the response was yes. nothing in writing is needed there is no exclusivity to it we are just adopting early. we have a pre existing wholesale deal. Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't you basically just saying that your store intends on ordering these figures at whatever the wholesale price is although you have no clue what that'll be. I understand that you hope to sell them for about the price of an elite ($22 USD) but won't that actually be determined by what you end up paying for them? Do you know what the minimum purchase order is? And again, do you know if your shipments come directly from the factory? |

I'm very excited about this line! Just the mention of a Missing Link figure in that interview has me stoked! I can see them eventually making other obscure guys from that era like The Great Kabuki or David Von Erich. Can't wait to see what we get! I just wish I had not sold off my classic superstars by Jakks. I had almost everyone of them back in the day.

Exactly this has always been our position, I am not at liberty and don't feel I should actually talk numbers on here for risk of ruining the relationship with the company Our items will be shipped directly from the company as they always have |

Dear mods: before you see this and do an instant delete, you can verify with your admins that FTC and Ringside will be doing business with each other and thus it's OK to post here.
That said, HI! Chris from FTC here. I'm not sure how in depth coverage has gotten in these 63 pages, but I'm the CMO at FTC and handle our media presence, both on our own pages and elsewhere.
I'm here simply to bring you OFFICIAL news and updates, get the bullet points of what's been revealed out of the way, and hopefully engage in some good discussion with the collectors here.
If it's cool with the mod team, I'd like to start a new thread where it can be stickied and the first post can be edited and updated by me as information gets out and production progresses. That way it's a one stop shop for everything that there is to say about our Ring of Honor figures, as well as the new Rising Stars and Legends lines.
Hope to talk to you all soon! There are some big things coming in a short amount of time (days, not hours or minutes), so there's going to be more to discuss.
Chris

I'm happy and disappointed in this respect.
I loved the fact these were going to be independent and more of a niche product helping the collectibility of the product.
But it's good to be getting an official topic for news etc

I hate to be that guy, but can we expect pre-order news/full body images for the ROH figures by August? Keep up the great work! |

I think this is great news that the 2 companies have reached an agreement to sell these figures. I know now I will be buying from ringside for these because of the discount I can get on my orders. Thanks for making a deal!
Ive been watching daily but after 60+ pages, this is my first response to these.

Any chance of women's wrestling figures? I saw that they were working with GFW as well? I'd love to see a Lei'd Tapa figure and more indy women!

In brief:
I've seen some, not all, full figure protos. Remember though, ROH has final say and approval, and after that, we coordinate when things get revealed. I know some people expect every step of the production process to be leaked along the way, but we have a more formal arrangement that is also easily controlled by the fact that this is done in-house. Same goes for pricing, etc. Any specific detail in regard to the line (pictures, pricing, availability, etc.) will come from us and ROH directly. There won't be any leaks. Anything and everything I say will be within my right to do so as a professional.
We have no agreement with GFW. We are working on NWA replica belts once again, and some of the talent that has appeared on GFW shows like Brian Myers, Doc Gallows, and the Young Bucks are going to be in our new Rising Stars of Wrestling line (a lot of people dubbed that the "indy" line).
Amber O'Neal/Gallows will be in the Rising Stars set, so yes there will be female characters done in our lines.
In regards to these lines being a niche product, they are targeted towards the collectors market. Doing business with others is good for everyone. Our compand and products get exposure, other places get new, fresh merchandise to sell, the talent gets exposed to a new audience, collectors are happy that they can get new figures, and good business leads to more figures down the line. It's a winning situation for all involved. I've mentioned before that I'm both a fan and a collector, so to me, having these figures get widespread exposure and do big business anywhere they can be sold means that I'll get to work with more talents on new figures down the line. That's something I think we can all agree we'd like to see.
