Now we need a hogan included because we know he still moves merch in 2021!! I think theman would get it to 8K by himself.

Hulk Hogan better not get added to this campaign.
I’m really not trying to get into any bidding wars at any friends’ collectors shops for this set.

If there was ever a time to release WM8 Hogan, it’s now. Maybe they should try to get the Ultimate Editions from Amazon out first that include a Hulk Hogan.

Give me an Ultimate USA Luger with his jacket... That would be great. Though, I would hope the attire is from SSL93. It's more unique.

Doubt they would add any more to the initial offering now, but if they offered a guaranteed window to preorder some upcoming legends that could be a draw card that doesn’t cost them anymore money. Thought?

Steve actually referenced this exact frame on the MWFP exclusive interview. If they added this, I just might back it and deal with the other stuff. (I have no desire for ring). I think if this was the early bird thing, it might convince more people to back. I haven’t. There’s just been so many Macho Man figures, not enough meat on the bone for me. People are crazy for Hogan merch right now and this specific attire has been requested

Hogan? Luger? Get the out of here. If we were to get any other New Gen wrestlers, Bret or Shawn or Bulldog or even Undertaker.

I still say you can’t have an arena without a referee. Just a referee with even basic articulation would be dope. If you make a generic head, then you don’t need to pay anyone royalties.

Tossing in Macho Man/announcer props for early backers definitely helps the cause. May end up supporting it here finally.

Better to get it and realize later you didn’t want it after all than to skip it and regret it later. There are numerous figures I passed on only to regret it later. And some of them go for absurd prices now. My dream of getting SES Punk or the Nexus is long dead.

He's had countless figures - including (very recently) a great UE fig. At least with Hogan there haven't been nearly as many figures... and the way people are going crazy over his Amazon UE, I think having another classic/yellow and red Hulk in this set would have had far more appeal.

Anyone here have any pics of their rings displayed, I’m probably gonna back this. But I don’t really know how to display the ring. Displaying the ring is the fun part, here's my older New Gen setup. Side note: I've listened to / watched all three of Steve's interviews today and the NotSam one was the best. Sam got Steve to really open up and share more details like; the mechanics of the fabric curtain, 4 AAA batteries to power the entrance, the height and width of the entrance may be slightly larger or smaller, but it's absolutely huge. The pieces in the photos are 3D printed so they didn't want to give final dimensions just yet. The Diesel in the photos was in no way a final version of the figure, it was held together by glue w/ no tru effects deco. He also mentioned, the design of the packaging will have placements for two UE figs and ring. The initial concept is similar to UE packaging with a large window with placeholders for two UE figs on either side and the ring in the middle. You can remove each item easily and add it back if you like. Steve said he also has ten years of ideas ready to go w/ this type of crowd funding backing and that if it would've hit 5k backers already, it would have already gone into production. A ring will not be included with every campaign, this maybe the only one for awhile. Hypothetically, if they release accessory packs or a HIAC, you would get the black ring posts, ring skirts and whatever other accessory. Macho wasn't in their initial plans, but they had plans for if it was campaign was wildly successful and hit 10-20k backers.

I'm not even a hardcore collector, but if I had a spare 250 (or however much this thing is shipped to the UK) I would be a player on this. It very well could have been what got me collecting again. I think it is freaking awesome and I am really hoping that it gets funded for you guys that have put the money down.
Can't wait to see pics when people start getting this next year.

Bit the bullet and backed it. Charger right away.
Also never got a reply off Mattel about why the first account I created disappeared. I love Mattel, but man they are not doing a great job at giving info on this. Steve seems to be the only one trying.

All of that information should have been everywhere instead of making people watch videos. I still believe many casual collectors aren't aware of this project or all of the details.

I really feel like if they could just get a plug during raw or smackdown, that would drive PLENTY more eyes to this project that aren’t aware of it yet.

Shipping to the UK is amazingly cheap - I paid $20 for my two sets; others have said that just one cost them $15; maybe the plan is to send them direct from Asia for Mattel UK to distribute? But then they’d likely have charged VAT which they didn’t so as ever we run the risk of customs. Duty should be charged for it as it’s over £135 value at least. Either way, the Macho figure might be enough on its own to pay for that on the secondary market in a year or two. It’s for that reason I’m debating getting another

Costs about £190 including shipping but excluding whatever your bank will charge for currency conversion
