Hi everyone. I've been hearing a few podcasts talking about how the ring announcer Macho UE will be the lowest production Macho at around 8,011 or so after the 8/13 cut-off. But I'm a little confused. Is it 8,011 BACKERS or UNITS? If it's BACKERS, there will be many more Macho UE figs than everyone is talking about. I know I bought three rings. I've heard other influencers who bought 10+. Anyone have a clue?

If you backed it after the early bird date then yours won’t get macho with it

Does that mean 8,011 UNITS sold or 8,011 backers who could have purchased 2+ each, making it hard to figure out how many Machos were made. |

It’s the total amount sold, not the amount of individual people who ordered. When the Macho offer expired the number was 8,011 or 8,020 or something like that, so that’s the maximum amount of Macho’s to be shipped out in orders. Will likely be less taking into account anyone who cancelled their order after the fact.

Every unit sold is referred to as a backer. If one person bought 5 rings then that’s 5 backers.

There will be a little over 8,088 machos produced, it doesn’t matter if people bought multiple. |

Steve has mentioned if you'll get as many Machos as rings you 'backed' before 8/13. So if I backed 100 rings, I'll get 100 Machos. So my question is still....is there 8,088 BACKERS before 8/13 (who could have purchased many more than 1) or 8,011 UNITS sold? |

It’s units. They sold 8,000+ units before the cutoff. I’d guess there’s maybe somewhere between 5,000-7,000 individual backers.

If you backed it before cutoff you got macho. If you ordered 3, you're getting 3 machos. If you ordered 2 before cutoff and 1 after cutoff you're only getting 2 machos...
Not sure why that's confusing...

It's units sold. If you bought ten, they added ten to the total count.

Yes, the amount that is listed is the amount of units sold. As others stated, each one is listed as a backer but that doesn’t mean there’s that many people that actually backed it, as some did buy 2 or more. If one person purchased 3, then they should get 3 Machos (as long as they were purchased prior to the early bird special ending). I hope they don’t  us over, the ones that did back it during (or before) the special. If I don’t get a Macho I’ll be beyond pissed. |

You're making this way more confusing than it is. It's not confusing it all. Nobody is "calling a sold ring a backer".
A backer is VERY CLEARLY in our context here, referring to units sold/units purchased.

In the context of the campaign, backer = u it. They use the term “backer” because it’s a crowdfunding campaign and the impression is that you would only buy 1 even if that’s not the case. They’re just using standard crowdfunding terminology here hence using the term “backer”. If it was a traditional retail item, they’d probably refer to it as “unit”. They’re just using language consistent with other campaigns.
There will only be 8011 Macho Mans produced plus customer service stock to replace any defective units.

Calling a sold unit a “backer” is confusing. At surface level, 8,088 backers seems like the amount of people not units. |

Thus making them representative of 3 backers. I’m not sure where the confusion lies. |

If you backed it after the early bird date then yours won’t get macho with it I said it before this is going to create issues for those who ordered/backed this project. Some of the people who ordered this after the cutoff date and are just going to assume they would get the macho man bonus set. Action Figure Attack mattel one way or another you should address this. |
