I wonder if Texas flag hearts HBK would shoot it upward. People have been begging for that attire for years.

Most plausible scenario is they drop Doink into the 5k backers. However in the hypothetical scenario they add another new figure I don’t think Hogan is a good choice. He really doesn’t represent the new generation at all. The most logical choices would be Bret or Shawn as they can repaint the Ultimates they already have. A 96 Warrior would work too. And they all have the star power of a Macho Man. Maybe Razor if they went with a newcomer. If they drop Doink down to 5K I can definitely see this pushing through. Though I agree w/ you Bret & HBK are more fitting for the New Gen era, Steve definitely tries to emphasize that the neon entrance was around since Mania 8 and how all of these legends came through it. Again, I’d rather get a HBK or Hitman but Hogan would be a much cheaper repaint to throw in there. I really doubt there’s another figure coming but dropping the Doink down could help sway some people. I think he made that point to encourage people who maybe are golden era fans to back, rather than hinting at Hogan. Not that I wouldn’t love a Mania 8 Hogan. If we got another figure a Rumble 94 Bret or Shawn would be my pick.

I really don’t see them adding any other figures to this. Only scenario would have been if it passed all the tiers which it won’t.

yeah i think if they did anything after the macho pre-order "window" ends, they would add Doink and the ringskirts to see if they could get to 5k
its funny to think.....i bet if this came out at $300
with all 3 figures, the skirts and the annoucer stuff...
its already at 5k with ease

They've tried adding more figures, they should try adding some more actual arena pieces.

Is there a tolerance for this? Like the min is 5k does it actually have to hit that or if it’s 4,985 would they say for the sake of 15 do it?
Has anyone who follows crowdfunding seen something fail for less than 50 backers? Or even 100?
I would imagine there’s a judgement call to be made if it’s super close?

I’m really surprised that HBK has not been involved in this at all. When i think of the era with that stage i always think of HBK. Maybe they should have had Ulti Shawn & Diesel w/ the ring & back unlockables

They did that for Sentinel

I’m surprised they didn’t have him instead of Diesel and Shawn instead of Doink.

That figure is astronomical on the secondary market.

That's actually a great question, like if it's 10 people short what then?

Maybe they should have had Ulti Shawn & Diesel w/ the ring & back unlockables I've seen alot of people say this. They easily could've included an IYH 2 HBK or 2 Dudes with Attitude and stuck with him with the Diesel they made. Missed opportunity. HBK had the best gears of this era by miles. And I'm not just saying that because I'm a fan, but his attires in this time period were fantastic.

Ok. So I just got done watching Steve's interviews and decided to go back it. What I think really got me was when Steve was talking about all the different stars that walked through that entrance from the tail end of the Golden Era to the early days of the Attitude Era. Unfortunately, I was declined at checkout since I only have an Amex card. So, I was finally sold on this, but they won't take my money.

I wonder if maybe for the last week they throw in another surprise for people that back for that last week. That way they only make 3k or 4k Macho man and 5k or however many of the figure for the last week.
That will help the project be successful and it will encourage people to donate sooner next time for fear of missing bonuses like this.

Steve said in his interview with Sam Roberts that the Ultimate Figures will be in the typical UE packaging....That Diesel, Macho and possibly Doink will be super rare with only 5-7k made.

Shawn as an unlockable would’ve helped moved this more. Shawn has fans from2 different eras, new gen and ruthless aggression. Definitely would’ve helped moved the needle

Basically at 41%. If they have something planned to boost the number of backers after Macho runs out I think we’ll see it backed at this rate
