PowerTown Wrestling Figures

I'm glad we finally have more information on these. $45 is a little more than I hoped they would be, but the price makes sense compared to what other smaller companies are charging for similarly sized figures.

I will probably get all of the first series, but I hope there is some kind of discount code or bundle price like he mentioned. I'm happy with Highspots selling these. I've had many good interactions with them over the years.

As for the future? I hope they stick to somewhat bigger names or this line may not make it far. As mentioned earlier in this thread, the random Rougeau cousin probably isn't going to sell very well.

I wouldn't mind seeing a trading card set or something along those lines. It sounds like they have a good number of people under contract, so they probably have enough names to fill out a set of trading cards.

I think using the big names for figures, but having the smaller names on retainer so they could be used in graphic novels, cards etc would be the best approach. Then a bit of a bio on the back of the cousins cars about him and how he fit into the family etc would be a better approach.

They have gagne and magnum involved but both have been out of the business for a long time. I’d say someone like cournette would be a great consultant for something like this - he knows all about the old days, has much more recent experience and could potentially bridge the gap.

Only Kerry for me this time but the price seems reasonable to me compared to other figures from the smaller companies.

Is it possible to reset the poll? It would be interesting to know now we know more what peoples intentions are

Also someone asked about kickstarter. They mentioned they didn’t need the funds from kickstarter, from what I understand it was just a mechanism for selling but maybe they have a partner website or have sorted out their own backend to do the sales?

Side note - I have always wondered why we cannot talk about that one company here.

Which is a bit odd since Brian Last apparently collects some figures (at least of Andre) and should know that company is garbage.

With Highspots on board we’ll at least get these first six. I was feeling the same as you until that part was announced. They’re good business people in general and wouldn’t have signed on unless they checked out that everything will actually get done.

I have no hope that we’ll get to the kind of “deep dives” that I’m personally looking for, but I think we’ll at least get the first set.

I will also say that I’ll be sad for a lot of the wrestlers/families too. Some have been mentioning this “project” to me long before we ever heard about it and Leilani Kai (a friend and one of my most wanted figures for this line) was practically jumping out of her seat talking about it when I saw her last month.

These are really cool figures but, I really want the belts. I am afraid they look too small for the figures. I hope they fix it before they are released.

I'd recently unloaded a lot of my 6" collection and was purely focusing on the Micro Brawler range...but these might pull me back in. If I do take the plunge, I'll be putting money down on Bruiser Brody, Stan Hansen and Magnum TA. Kerry Von Erich may end up on the cutting floor when it comes to the collective amount + costs of shipping to Australia. Verne & Lou don't are really out of my realm of knowledge (and interest to be honest), so are easy passes for me
