Who thinks that if Mattel gives leeway on the early bird date people will throw a fit? “Mattel is breaking their word! They said 8/13!” I think Mattel is desperately trying to make this succeed within the parameters they’ve set up for themselves which they may be unable to undo and I see the effort and I appreciate it. It’s been a rough debut, but if there’s ever a second crowdfunding effort, I think it will be much smoother.

It’s been a rough debut, but if there’s ever a second crowdfunding effort, I think it will be much smoother. No matter what happens, somebody is going to throw a fit. If they extend the window to secure the Macho figure, early backers will be upset. If they don't, people who held out will be upset. If the project gets funded, people who didn't throw in will be upset. If the project gets funded, people who did throw in will be upset if it doesn't unlock the upper tiers. If the project doesn't get funded, people who threw in will be upset. There's a whole lot of varying degrees of justification for the vitriol there, but at the end of the day, someone's going to be upset.

I hope we get a big backer that buys 1000 of these before Friday. I’ve backed 3 of these and plan on backing 2 more.....and yes I’m scalping the hell out of 4 of them on EBay. Lol

Backed 3, but I might backing 7 more. Mainly to support the project and I think it's a good investment. It is better to invest the money in something than to do nothing with it. And if I can use it to move the project forward, I'll be happy. I really hope we can do it.

I’ve backed 2, will probably move to 3… here’s what I’d do with them.
(Understanding that Ring, Stage and MOC Diesel/Doink will be in one sealed box, Macho will ship seperate as he is an add on)
One: keep all items in shipper boxes sealed and store them away for 10-15-20 years! Two: keep the ring/Diesel/Doink completely sealed and on displayed - flip Macho Three: open macho shipper and display MOC, open big package to get MOC Diesel/Doink and display MOC, flip the ring and stage.
Only hesitation, what if there is a late backer incentive which is a different figure then Macho… hmm, worse case I order a forth I guess lol.

I highly doubt they'd add a late backer incentive that doesn't also cover the people who already backed. For anyone thinking of buying another I recommend getting that order in on or before the 13th because the value takes a hit when Macho isn't included, and a Macho Man figure that's limited to just a couple thousand will easily hit Hasbro Mailaway levels of value.

I was hoping that if there's a late backer incentive it would include Macho for the early backers. I might back a 3rd before the 13th just incase.

The smartest thing to do would be to still offer Macho Man after the 13th and just cut the rest of the announcers pack to people after the 13th.
Have people tried spamming WWE's Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Youtube with links in the comments section?

This was a perfect way of us getting Jeff Jarrett as a first time in the line. I've already backed it from the first day but really think they should just throw in doink at 5k to reach the numbers, Split everything up and you're getting a good deal

Lol I did wonder the same thing, a big backer who would back 1000. But then it occurred to me, that’s $250k (quarter Million). That is some serious cash lol.

I’m sure a place like Ringside could just about justify something like that. Not many average joes will want to part with 250k for a year and go through the sort of hassle that selling a thousand of them would bring.

Just can’t see how this gets made if it’s not at 5k by Friday (Macho deadline) - would anyone likely to back this do it after missing out on Macho? Surely not?
2,775 by Friday to get made at all….4,775 by Friday to get Doink…just can’t see it.

I think Mattel has another idea on getting this thing backed. I think a lot of people want to see this Macho Man made internally and they're willing to make this a reality. I would be surprised if Mattel didn't throw Doink in in the next week. People want Doink!
I could care less about the ring skirts, honestly.
I do not really understand the logic of making Macho Man the "early bird" exclusive. Why would people back it after that window and not get *maybe* the coolest part of the set? Why not just add it for everyone to have? I understand they wanted a big rush right away but it seems like its going to lock up the end of the crowdfunding duration. That's another reason why I think they will add Doink.
This might not mean anything, but typically Steve Ozer will reply to my questions in Instagram. When I asked him if they have considered adding Doink at a lower tier or even into the 5k backer level, I did not get any interaction with the question. I don't mean to suggest that they're keeping it quiet and end up doing it. Just take it for what it is.

Yeah Friday is the new deadline. If people aren’t backing it with Macho then what incentive do they have to back it the last week without? I don’t see this thing getting funded without something new being offered the last week and I doubt that’ll happen. Maybe they extend it another 30 days is probably the best we can hope for.
