Why in God's name are people bringing up Harley Race? Wrong era and he's not under contract...The fantasy booking for this set has reached an all new level of ridiculous. Because the majority of this thread turned into a “I specifically want _______ for my $250.” Which is asinine.

In a hypothetical world, where Mattel comes out swinging with a last ditch effort to turn the tide, who else would be swayed if Mattel were to really lean into the vibrant color of the New Generation with an Ultimate that would really make a difference? ![](https://cdn3.whatculture.com/images/2019/04/2092157b2e32a573-600x338.jpg)

If Mattel throws in an Ultimate Edition Make a Difference Fatu as part of the base tier package I will back this project and provide no proof that I've done so.
You can quote me on this.

More arena pieces aren’t going to noticeably increase the percentage of backers. Most collectors want new figures to display, not an arena with every last detail put into it. I’d bet the percentage of collectors that display figures in a case/on a shelf FAR outweighs the ones who display in an arena/do figure photography. Flashback Harley Race is only sought after because of its very short time at retail. A re-released figure would hurt this far more than helping it. Clearly there’s major money to be many with Ultimates, hence why they went with them for this campaign. Elites wouldn’t have made a difference. i love the Ultimate line, but I would have preferred Elites with this setup to be honest Me too, but Mattel are definitely trying push this Ultimate line as much as they can. Even bringing in Ultimate Legends. They’ve seen the market (especially secondary) and I guess the numbers are there.

It is a really bad sign that we're 3 weeks in and only at 2,121 backers. Common sense says that the biggest swath of backers are when it's announced combined with the Macho announcement...and we've still barely sniffed the halfway mark...
Barring some retailers ordering chunks, I don't see how anyone can convince themselves it's possible.

Might be a dealbreaker for retailers to have to pay upfront for something that won’t ship for 12 months. Hopefully there’s some kind of consideration for anyone backing a large amount of these

Because the majority of this thread turned into a “I specifically want _______ for my $250.” Which is asinine. If you want this projeect to succeed, why not ? The ringskirts is the only thing you would need to change. Just literally add plain blue ringskirts. You guys need to quit being so salty and ask for something better.

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 think 5,000 is now realistic, but I don't know how the numbers behave after this Macho Pack, because this offer is only valid for a few days. I can imagine that afterwards the numbers will collapse again. I backed it three times. not saying hitting 5k isn’t realistic, just a very, very low possibility with the amount of time we have left

I think they will move the Doink and ring skirts down to 5k and if that still isn’t enough to get enough ppl to back this project then there just aren’t as many niche collectors as we thought. A lot of people are saying they should have went with the Smackdown fist or titan tron but those play sets are gonna be 3 times as big as this set and will be $400-$600 as Steve said on the podcast. 3 UE figures that will be very rare Stage Ring Announce desk Ring skirt All of that for $250 is a steal. this. and even then, people would still complain that the price point is way too high and it’d just be this whole list of complaining like this new gen one again
