Official Ultimate Edition New Gen Arena Megathread

Plenty of time. they are not going to cancel it on Monday because it didn't reach 1k backers. I said I was going to get 1 day one, but now I am waiting. There is no point in putting your money out now. You can wait for the last few days. I will probably get at LEAST 2. I think the resale of this will be double a year after its released. I am shocked that people who own local comic book or toy stores are not making investments on this. So many more people will want this once it ships and they can't get it anymore.

This is thing is absolutely sick! Just backed it up. Really hoping it gets to tier 2 so I can use that Doink and fit him in with my comic book action figure photography. That Doink would look great as one of Joker’s goons fighting against Batman.

Hasbro doesn’t take the money up front.

Why not make it 4k? That’s only a million dollars.

I went ahead and backed this thing. I pretty much want everything included and missing out on all the preorders I wanted and no real interest in some of the main line figures across the board helped procure the funds (I know Amazon doesn't charge upfront but the fact remains.)

Besides, it's a relatively low risk investment. If it doesn't get to the goal, I get my money back, if it makes it, I get a badass ring, entrance, and potentially two Ultimates and accessories. Given how much the Jakks classics ring goes for it's a steal here. Plus my WCT ring is starting to show its age after 5-6 years on display.

Back this thing folks, even if you intend to flip it in the future, get while the getting's good!

I was discussing this with a buddy of mine on IG, we both think it's a prototype done for the promotional art/video. It looks basic but chances are they'll dress it up more once the goal is met. I recall someone saying Diesel's glove would be a new mold too and it didn't look it on the proto

I think this would've made money already had they made it like this

T1- Entrance Stage/Ring/UE Diesel with 2heads, hands, and WWF winged eagle
T2- UE Shawn Michaels WM 10 Attire, 2 heads, IC title, hands
T3- UE Razor Ramon WM 10 Attire- 2 heads, IC title, hands

I honestly do hope it hits 5K, I'm not banking on it going past it.

Backer #809 here. If its anything like the Haslabs Sentinel, if i get it and dont like it, i'll sell off the stuff I dont want/need and recoop parts of the cost. The value will go up by leaps and bounds once its OOP.

I'd love to see this thing hit all the tiers, but being perfectly honest, there doesn't seem to be a much in the way of hope we even get 7000 here.

If this project fails, it 100% comes down to Mattel putting out an item most collectors simply weren't invested in & asking for $280. The New Generation era is one of the most unpopular eras in WWE's history, Diesel has not only had several figures at this stage but is also among the lowest drawing fed champions & Doink the Clown alone is nowhere near enough to justify putting down nearly 300 dollars on something that may have so little vast appeal to the majority of the people who collect WWE figures. The fact that the biggest draw of this item for some people on this board is that "one day Mattel might ask us to put another $280 down on an item but it'll be something you may actually want!" really puts into perspective just how odd some of the choices for this project have been. People are not made of money, a lot of people simply can't justify supporting a campaign by putting down almost $300 on an item they're just gonna sell with the promise that one day, maybe, Mattel will probably make something that they will actually want.

IMO, this is gonna either need some better items added on to the project beyond the Doink/Diesel/ringskirts, or it'll probably cap off at a little above 5000. If it hits that mark.
