2) I’m just losing interest in collecting in general. Never mind the elbow. The quality control is just outrageous. I got several ultimate Undertakers and Kanes and they all have really bad paint issues or joints or you name it. I almost called customer service but I was like what’s the point. This is supposed to be a premium line, but it’s anything but. Wow, I missed a fare bit since I last checked in on this thread. One of the most fervent supporters of Mattel has lost interest in their product. ...and they actually listened to the customers on this mistake and are sending out corrected pieces IIRC.

So what exactly is the issue with the Kane figure? straight arm no issues, when you bend the elbows it’s skin tone inside instead of red That is sort of a BIG issue tbh. Normally I'm not too picky but they should have discovered that.

Damn I took a little break from collecting and just read some of the thread. Sad to see Brother Love deleted his account. The YouTube video he made on why the New Gen ring should be backed convinced me to buy. He will be remembered.

I wonder if we'll get to see a render of Savage before the end of the year.

Four months seems to be plenty of time to have a digital render mocked up and approved. I hope they’re not waiting for big events to reveal updates.

On one hand they don't need to wait because it's not a general release so it would be silly to do reveals at big events. On the other hand I wouldn't mind it if all the people who didnt back see what they missed out on...

I would reaaaaaaaaaaally love to see the Macho Man.
I think they should start begin showcasing different parts of the set a few weeks apart soon. Maybe in January, they can start showing off a new part of the set every six weeks until the item begins to ship.
I might be most excited to see how its packaged at this point! Lol. Steve saying its all packaged together in a themed set with the individual pieces inside...I can only imagine how massive and unique its going to look.

That in turn would possibly influence them into backing the next project.

If projects become annual it would make sense, do reveals in the lead up to SDCC next year and in the end go "that was last year's project, now here's this years! And then show off what the next concept is.

My guess is they wait until Axxess to really show everything (though maybe some hints before then) and while showing everything at Axxess, reveal that the next crowdfunded project will be announced/go up around SDCC.

Axxess is probably the best time to start the next project. It’s the biggest time of the year for wrestling. It’s right around the time when people are getting their tax refund. It’s not being drowned out by other announcements at SDCC or people using their funds on exclusives or other toys/preorders going on sale that weekend.

I just wonder if it’s feasible/if Mattel would break up their typical SDCC crowd-sourced blowout.

Hopefully launching during SDCC weekend when there’s a lot of other toys being announced and going on sale was one of them. Plus, doing it WM weekend they could use some of their advertising budget and buy a couple spots during each night of Mania to get the word out.

Recent ebay sales have been interesting to watch. So far the set has been sold for 480, 699, an offer was taken for another 699 listing, and an auction ended at 505.

First renders of the WMX Macho Man. Are the headset and sunglasses connected to the hat, and not separate pieces?

How do you guys feel about the Flair torso being used for Macho? I’m on the fence about it. I felt like the elite torso was a bit too jacked for the era of Macho Man we’ve gotten, but also feel like this one is a little too small for those legs.
