idk where you’re seeing 100 for either of those but you need to show me so I can make some money Not now….But for months they were selling for $75-$100 on the bay. Once they hit retail they came back down. What I’m saying is if you made a limited number of a rare obscure wrestlers they would sell on Mattel Creations. I like your idea...maybe they could do a pledge thing like some customizers do and list all the possible figures and they each need to sell a certain amount of units to officially go into production. People could just pick and choose which characters they wanted to spend money on. (For the record, I'd buy all the characters you listed lol) |

His figure would look badass with all the tattoos. Make it a crowdfunded item that only gets made if 5000 get backed. |

I love Hakushi, but he would be a niche of a niche from one of the least popular eras in company history. Probably wouldn't move the needle unfortunately. |

I think they'd open themselves up to more success by listing 20 characters or so and letting people pledge on whoever they choose. I could definitely see someone like Adam Bomb getting made that way. |

If Zodiac & Goon can get made there’s no reason to think Hakushi or Adam Bomb couldn’t.

Hell in the Cell makes the most sense in my opinion. Since Mattel has had the line. we never got a cell or a cage for the big rings because they never sold enough. Now they finally have and it’s almost inevitable that the rings are going to be available to purchase separately at some point for those that didn’t get in on the first crowd fund. So a cell and conversion kit for the posts and what not would be awesome. To this day, there has never really been a great cell playset. Most of them are too small and the real scale one that Jakks made was pretty flimsy and the trap door mechanism wasn’t that great. A cell, exclusive Mankind UE, and conversion kit for 175 maybe?. Stretch goals could include another UE figure, announce tables, etc. They set the bar at $250 for the start. I can not see them doing another for less. That being said, this is what I feel should happen next. Gives everyone the Ulitmate Mankind with an unmasked head. Go ahead and add Undertaker to the lineup. Early bird special Terry Funk! He was a big part of the match giving Foley extra time. Can alway add a worried concerned Vince as a goal. Don't think JR is available |
