They said Q3 during the pre-order, then a month later gave a Q4 release date. How is it unfair? Its fine to be OK with the timeline, personally they don't bother me either- I'm not someone that's in a rush for figures. But they set dates and then routinely push those dates out, sometimes multiple times. That's not "meeting deadlines." It's actually the very definition of missing them.
It’s unfair because they might come out tomorrow for all any of us know, and in that case they’re ahead of the deadline. The fair thing would be to judge once they’ve come out or at least missed any deadline they set for them. But that hasn’t happened. The third quarter hasn’t concluded yet. I'll give it one more try and then just let this go, because you're just re-framing your argument and I'm not totally sure why.
They announced a release date for Ultras Series One. They missed that date (they had a production issue, but still deadline was missed). They announced a release date for the Matt/Brian two-pack. They missed that date, pushing it out several months.
They've announced several other dates that they may or may not hit (hopefully they do, because the one thing they've actually released was pretty cool). They have not shown any track record (yet) of hitting dates they've announced, and in fact have already slid out some of them. Their track record is not "meeting deadlines".

I wonder if they have access to Roddy Piper. A pre-WWF era Piper would be great for this line, right PJ? If they started doing legends of Portland Wrestling, I would dive right in. Still hoping some company makes a Playboy Buddy Rose (any style). I’ve been tempted to pick up the AWA Remco but it would be all alone.

They missed one deadline. Literally their first endeavor. I don’t know if they missed the major two pack deadline. Not sure what it was but by you saying it’s come and gone already I’d assume it was Q1 since we’re still in the second quarter. If that’s the case then that 0/2 And that’s literally their whole track record. I should have made myself more clear I suppose. Because they don’t have a long track record of missing deadlines (impossible since they don’t have a long track record at all) I have a basic good faith relationship with the company. You can feel free to not trust them if you so choose.

Wrestling Figure News site has done a great job covering this (and all things wrestling figure news-wise) on their site. I’d check them out for pics.

How do you know that he isn't signed?! Correct me if I am wrong but I don't believe Powertown has released the full list of wrestlers they have signed to deals.
Martel is a big want of mine as well, don't think we will see another Mattel figure of him that is why I was hoping he might sign with Powertown. Also, when I saw that Greg Gagne was involved, I knew they would be trying to go after as many wrestlers that appeared in AWA. Speaking of which, I hope they sign Curt Hennig as well once his legends deal with WWE expires.

Is it true that if a talent is signed to PowerTown it’s a lifetime deal, & no one else can make figures of those characters? I really hope not because we need these characters across multiple lines with multiple companies.

Great looking figure, can't wait to see Kamala & Madusa. I am blown away by the head sculpts, the likeness on all the figures Powertown has released/announced have been spot on. Not sure if this is due to the excellent work their sculptor is doing or what technology they are using but the likenesses are way better than anything Mattel has released. Here's hoping Bret Hart signs with Powertown so we can finally get a figure that actually looks like him.

I asked him before on Twitter and he answered me how he would like to be signed for the fans and gave a convoluted discussion on how hard the licensing negotiations was…

I really hope not because we need these characters across multiple lines with multiple companies. I believe it was reported that way early on, and Steve mentioned that, but I have a feeling exclusivity may depend on the talent.

They have not released a full list, but early on they did announce a number of names that they had signed (most of which we have not seen anything from them yet) and I have kind of compiled a list on page 7 of this thread. Here is the updated version of the list, which had people removed when they re-signed with WWE/Mattel and also added names that first appeared in the Remco wave. Full List of wrestlers from past announcements and other merchandise coming from Powertown ‘Cowboy’ Bobby Duncum Duane Duncum Bobby Duncum Jr. Jaques Rougeau Eddy Auger Rougeau Johnny Rougeau Jacques Sr Rougeau Raymond Rougeau Armand Rougeau Jean-Jacques Rougeau Cedric Rougeau Emilie Rougeau Bobby The Brain Heenan Diamond Dallas Page The Von Erichs - Assuming this is Kerry, David, Kevin, Mike & Chris Randy Poffo Lanny Poffo Angelo Poffo Hillbilly Jim Tito Santana Tony Atlas Rockin’ Robin Judy Martin Harley Race Nick Bockwinkel Mad Dog Vachon Mean Gene Okerlund George ‘Scrap Iron’ Gadaski Iron Mike Sharpe André the Giant Bobby Duncum Sr. Bobby Duncum Jr. Bobby Heenan Tony Atlas Gorgeous George (early on was rumored to be part of Series 2) Nikita Koloff Ivan Koloff Gertrude "Luna" Vachon Paul "Butcher" Vachon Maurice "Mad Dog" Vachon Diane "Vivian" Vachon R&R Express - Robert Gibson R&R Express - Ricky Morton Bobo Brazil Missing Link Tully Blanchard Ken Patera Dick the Bruiser The Crusher Arn Anderson
