is it wrong to be buying these just for the belts rather than the figures? LOL I've got the Jack Brisco on order for the belt mainly, that red background for the Ten Pounds of Gold will look nice, but I'm not a massive Brisco fan, would love an NWA era Flair or Harley with the black leather NWA title, but the red is a deep cut kudos for them making it, but I'm wondering if anyone else is more interested in the title belts than the figures themselves? When the belts are THAT gorgeous, NOOO it's not!!! Kamala is the only one I am half interested in figure-wise. But the belts have me tempted to order them. Same with series 1. |

speaking of powertown, i would like to see a list of the TNA figures series 2. I am hoping they stick with one female per wave, Would like a Masha, Rosemary, or even Gail Kim for the 2nd wave

Changing a shower head using Teflon tape I had started wondering if this could be a good substitute for the S1 wrist tape that got missed. Doesn’t have to be perfect since it’s just wrist tape. 1st attempt Maybe too thick on the left arm.  |

azraelmsIf/when powertown gets around to a 4 horsemen 4 pack ultras. I think next year would be a good idea as it will be the 40th anniversary of the horsemen. I hope we get looks from the original 4 from late 1985/86. Do a $200-225 price point and it will sell like gangbusters! Don’t even need belts to sell but will take them

Flair with a robe, world title belt, and shades. Tully with robe, shades, and US title belt. Ole with the 'Damn I'm Good' shirt and a tag belt. Arn with shades and a tag belt And as a bonus, JJ Dillon. If you REALLY want me to geek out about it, make it a 6 pack with young Tony Shiavone and David Crockett in a big box that looks like the Crocket interview area. I would pay $350 for all that. |

Perfect picks& accessories! If you want to make it a 6 pack, i like JJ Dillon and Baby Doll. Even if you prefer a face/ Dusty’s girl still think Baby Doll would be a perfect addition for powertown somewhere And a first time ever. |

Baby Doll would be an excellent choice for a figure somewhere.

I've been reading a book about the origins of wrestling. Do you think they'll entertain some of the pioneers from even before the time of Lou Thesz and Georgous George? Such as George Hackenshmit, Frank Gotch, Ed Strangler Lewis and Jim Landos? They're probably not very toyetic as such but neither was Thesz or Gagne.

It might be harder to track down the rightful heirs to those older names…and I’m not sure if any of them could become public domain either. Presidents are fair game so they could actually make an Abraham Lincoln figure if they desired. |

Martin Farmer Burns was recently honored by his hometown, so he's in the psyche again.

I don't know if any names before the TV era of the 50s would do well at all. Just an opinion, and not discounting the history of wrestling, but anyone that had a career before television may not be a big enough sell for any company to do. |

Has Ox Baker had any figures done in recent memory? I feel like Powertown could definitely pull that off if his likeness is being dealt out

He hasn’t had a figure since 2001 FTC. Hopefully he's on somebody's radar then. I can't imagine Mattel/WWE would be interested so it'd be nice if powertown could |

A week from today is the last day of July. Will the preorders end then, or will they go longer?
