They should: -Apologise for ing up the rollout so badly. -Apologise for taking the money from everyone who ordered since yesterday. -Refund everyone. -Offer the entire package as a one month open pre order (think limited run games or NECA) -Give a discounted price to everyone who already backed and they ed around.

I don’t want either figure but I do want the stage and I’d buy for $100. I guess I’d rather get Diesel than Doink

None honestly, sorry but there was nothing offered here that interested me.
As someone who doesn’t care how this goes either way, I still think something that had more of a “I have to have this no matter the cost” vibe needed to be released first here.

The sad part is they’ll blame the fans/collectors for not hitting the goal thus implying we won’t back something or there aren’t enough of us instead of looking in the mirror and realizing, “Wow we f’ed that up badly”. It still baffles me how they were able to be so out of touch with their first offering and mess this up so badly.

Nothing. The only thing I would get behind is if they offered a package deal of 6 to 8 first time in the line elite legends for 100 to 150 bucks depending on the amount of figures included and I'm not holding my breath on that happening anytime soon..

So now that they’re taking money upfront again - the whole project is turning into a bit of a mess. I think they need to cancel this now and rethink. Save the embarrassment of it not getting backed and come back with a revised offering. What would you back if they made some changes? Whilst I love all of it, I really just have space for the entrance stage and for me that is the main usp here. They’re doing what? LOL

i guess TBH, i would actually pay that for the entrance alone.
i would take the real scale ring b/c i dont have one right now, but honestly dont really want one based on the size of the mf?
i am a Diesel fan but dont like the figure--have no interest in doink...at all.
its a weird situation.

LOL, they're already backpedaled on the money thing? What a damn mess Honestly, barring contracts and all that, if it were up to me and I wanted the damn thing funded but needed an out to blame the collectors, I'd have tossed that damn King Harley Race into the deal right from the start.

I'd crowdfund a Doink figure. Don't want anything else.

if they are adding doink and the skirts with a higher back it must mean they could still make a "profit" on it with all of it
so i want the ring, entrance stage, skirts, diesel and doink for $250

I'd just want the Doink instead of the Diesel.

I don't want the ring. I would love if diesel was a different look from his other figures. Maybe the jean jacket look. At that point, diesel, doink, entrance stage 125.

I would support them pulling this and never trying again to please anyone thru crowdfunding.

Also Ken Patera. I'd back that. We're 10+ years into the line. Who doesn't have a ring (or several) by now? I think that's part of the problem.

This poll needs about 1,500 voters or else it’s all pointless no matter which way they went

I don’t think they should cancel it. Let it run its course. If it finds, people that backed it will get it. If it fails, they’ll have useful data on what can be done better. One of the biggest misconceptions I keep seeing is that people feel like it’s shameful if this doesn’t fund. I say “keep on trucking”. There’s always lessons to be learned.
A better rollout may have been something along the lines of like $150 for the entrance and Diesel at 5k. At like 7 or 8k offer the option to add the ring and ring skirts for an additional $100. Then at 8 or 9k, offer the option to add Doink for an additional $30. I think that would solve the issue of people who don’t want all of it and don’t want to be bothered with reselling pieces later.
Also, I think future pieces should be more centered around backstage type play sets. A multi-section backstage set would be cool. Like a locker room, interview area, GM office, and a Gorilla Position. A Buried Alive match play set would be cool. Or a Boiler Room Brawl. Piper’s Pit or the Barber Shop. There’s lots of options.
I think what hurt this other than the upfront charging thing is that it forces people to buy to have to spend more money on something many don’t need or want. Also, the $250 value needed to be there on tier 1. If it gets less than 7k backers, you’re paying $250 for a ring, a figure, and an entrance. For me PERSONALLY (key word as value is subjective), even if every tier is unlocked, the $250 value is debatable. I don’t want to hear the reselling argument. I buy things when I want them. I don’t buy things with the intention of reselling them.
I honestly do hope this funds for the people that want it. I’m just not liking all the people trying to pressure others into backing it. Back it if you want to. Don’t back it if you don’t want to.
