It's a bit strange if the UE Diesel doesn't come with anything else... just the figure and a spare head and hands is going to look very bare-bones in a standard UE box(?) I asked Steve if he will came with the winged eagle title but he said Diesel is final, just going to add wrist tape and the missing elbowpad. |

Very strange if that's it... they could at least add another pair of hands and another head (it wouldn't require any new tooling either if they include existing the Elite 16/Network Spotlight head)? |

Steve said the entrance is about 17β tall (43.18 cm). Ring is either 21.4β or 21.7β (54.35 cm or 55.11 cm) which is roughly an inch smaller than the previous scale rings. He said itβs scaled for a 6β figure.
For comparison, the Raw Wrekkinβ Entrance Stage is 19β tall. The previous Mattel entrance stages were 1 or 2β taller than that.

Couldn't believe how much this had jumped when I just checked the site a minute ago. Wasn't it around 2300-2400 a day or two ago? Just wild. We've been in the danger zone!

I asked Steve if he will came with the winged eagle title but he said Diesel is final, just going to add wrist tape and the missing elbowpad. In one of the interviews I could have sworn he stated it was coming with an entrance vest as well. I believe it was Fullyposeable but I may be wrong or may have mis-heard. |

I am pleasantly surprised to see how much it jumped today! I backed day 1 but have been very pessimistic about the possibility of this actually happening. The progress itβs made in the last few hours has definitely reignited my excitement for this project. Really curious to see if it doesnβt make it all the way funded tomorrow, how much of this momentum carries through for the final week without the Macho Man incentive.

Steve said they donβt want to do something where you have to get a new ring every time thereβs a crowdfunding campaign. Like if they wanted to do a project where they release like a steel cage or Hell in a Cell, they could look into a way people could get the appropriate colored posts, ropes, and turnbuckles. So I guess maybe like a conversion kit. But he said hypothetically.
So if youβre on the fence about it, you should maybe get it just to have a ring for any future accessories or cool things they release. The tooling for this thing doesnβt exist yet. The posts might end up being separate pieces from the frame and when I say frame, I mean the blue part that looks like metal girders that supports the wooden planks. And since the blue frame is hidden by the ring skirt, if the pieces that make up the post are detachable, they could possibly sell black or silver posts through Mattel Creations.
Thereβs a lot of possibilities they can do once the tooling is created. If you already have a ring, maybe think about replacing it.

@wweretrostars:
βSpoke to a collector tonight that plans on backing 1οΈβ£0οΈβ£0οΈβ£ arenas tomorrow. One. Hundred.
His rationale: Macho. Man. F.O.M.O.
Feels like each set will have a $200 figure - Then ring + stage + Diesel + announcers set he can burn off easily. Macho will be the most rare UE to date.β
Wow.

I just simply canβt afford it and it sucks. My credit cards are almost maxed and they donβt accept PayPal so I canβt use PayPal Credit.
