Putting Harley Race in this set would move the needle even more. Lots of people still want that figure re-released. We have already gotten diesel and doink multiple times. If you want people to pay $250 for a ring and figure set it needs to be something special. Its great they added a macho man announcers pack, but i don't know if that will be enough. Replace diesel with harley and watch the numbers jump like wildfire. I don’t think Harley Race is as desired as you think he is. If he was released in the regukar line, he’d be $15 on Amazon just like Dusty and Lawler are right now. Not to mention that this is a New Generation-era set, and Race hadn't wrestled for the WWF since the midst of the Golden Era (he left in early '89) and was managing Vader in WCW at this point. Hell, even in his own heyday, nothing about Race said "New Generation". Dude was the epitome of the term "old school". That being said, I REALLY want a King Harley Race figure. I was a huge mark for him as a kid, and I am beyond salty that his fig was released in such a severely limited quantity.

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 Putting Harley Race in this set would move the needle even more. Lots of people still want that figure re-released.

Add Doink now at 3k, I think it would get us there in a few days. Add Harley at 4K and add something else to get us to 5k

with exactly 2 weeks to go, we’re sitting at 41%. as much as i really want this to move, i don’t think that’s gonna happen anytime soon 😭
even if we do get to 50% there’s a very low possibility that this will hit the estimated goal and move in to production. we definitely aren’t getting that doink (he may be slotted in a future line up or something) or the tier 3 items

I can imagine that afterwards the numbers will collapse again. I backed it three times.

After all this time, I was finally sold on this. Unfortunately, I only have Amex. So I’m now finding myself in the position where I do actually want it, and literally can’t back it. I can’t be the only one in this position, so there’s a number of potential backers just shut out from this. I assume that also means I’m shut out from future potential projects. If Mattel is successful with crowdfunding, and I want any of the products, I’m stuck going to the secondary market. Hasbro has no issues with Amex. Kickstarter has no issues with Amex. How many potential backers are just blocked from this because they don’t have Visa or MasterCard?

Dusty and Lawler have both had 3-4 figures already - and been included in the line for years. A lot of people who wanted figures of them already have them (plus, the latest Dusty figure/attire is far from a "must-have").

How many potential backers are just blocked from this because they don’t have Visa or MasterCard? Interesting point. May be a hurdle holding back more backers. I think offering potentially early access to re-releases of legends such as Harley Race's elite would be an easy perk to move the needle forward and generate additional income for Mattel. Roughly 3000 more backers in two weeks still seems a long ways away, but I would be bummed if this doesn't come to fruition.

Load it up at the register with enough to cover the cost and an activation fee and the site treats it as a typical credit card.

If Mattel wants this to work they’ll make it work.

Also, if it’s an option, getting a new credit card is generally easy and it’s always good to have a few options (this being a good example).

I am guessing that this last push is going to end in the middle of this week. With 9-10 days left, they’re just going to add Doink and the ring skirts to the deal with only 5k backers and it’ll get made.

Can a refund like that happen? Seems like grey area for that type of way to fund it.

Not sure why that wasn't obvious, but yeah. Don't think Mattel could legally get away with doing that based on what's posted on the creation page, but prepaid cards are a slightly different than straight up credit cards or debit cards.

I think that after the early bird period expires, they're going to have to move Doink down to 5000 (if it's feasible to include him at that number and still see enough of a profit), because otherwise the numbers are going to stagnate.
