I do wonder what they’ll end up doing with the cancelled orders. I can’t imagine a lot of people did, but I wonder if they’ll just end up slapping them up on the mattel creations site. This is what's interesting about them touting the 8,495 number on the box (in the video they posted recently). That was the final counter number but there had to be cancellations/chargebacks/insufficient funds related issues with some of the orders so it may not be the actual number of how many were made. They would likely retain some as overage (for broken parts, things like that) but it would be...curious...of Mattel to sell them again on Mattel Creations. At this point, they've gotten payment for the ones that were produced (if 8,495 or another number) so it's unlikely they would offer any additional ones. That could disincentivize some "bulk" backers from backing the next project in as large of quantities and drive orders down so I don't think they'd do that.

One of the Bill's once said mattel wouldnt make a figure under 10k pieces (whether they got destroyed at the factory is another discussion) So even though this is more than just a figure I could easily see this being a 9k-10k piece run. 8495 paid, another 500 for replacements and special releases (Im sure Mattel has an secret ebay account they will try to schill some of these on)

I don’t believe it could be cancelled after the end time, only during the month it was available to back Nah I cancelled after it was backed. why

So then it’s probably safe to say they made the total amount backed once it ended, plus whatever % was presumably made for replacements for damage, defect, whatever

I never got my Slaughter last year because they didn't have any replacements.

The only gripe I have with this ring is the posts. I know every other ring has posts like this, but it would have been nice if this one had posts that were just 1 piece that goes all the way to the ground like the real rings. Those pegs on the bottom always want to fall out when you pick the ring up. Still looks like the best ring ever made and im looking forward to getting one.

If you look at the mattel creations website it says ETA for shipping is August 2022.

After you place the order, or check the order it says shipping should be on or before August 31st.

I suppose asking bill or Steve to give us a one line update on a product we paid for a year ago is asking to much
