I’d imagine the plan is bang out 1 or 2 series of must haves and then Series 3 onwards they can go deeper into their roster and people will by then be full series collectors |

They’ve got me for all of series 1. My biggest hope and want is Giant Baba. Since they’re using All Japan belts for Stan and Brody maybe there’s a shot.

I just worry they're going to blow their load with the "big names" and not bundle them correctly. I know people wwnt to pick and choose, but at some point you have to have incentive to buy the "lesser names" to get the others. If there isn't, or they run out then boom....

Am I correct that these will blend in and scale better with aew than wwe? At over 7” for brody, he will tower over most mattel, even big show/andre/khali, right?

Brody looks great. If I got him, I’d want Hansen. Then I’d probably also want Thesz and Gagne.

Looking at these again, they are fantastic. I was pretty sceptical about it all but I'm really looking forward to them!

They're definitely going to be a tad large. I took a couple of quick measurements E91 Flair (6'1) - 6 7/8in Mean Mark (6'10) - 7.75 The Rock (6'4) - 7 But none of the companies have been super consistent with their own scale, let alone across lines. For my money I think these will be close enough that I can live with it. |

Saw the kerry box posted too.
I really think the neca style boxing on these really mark them out as being a collector piece. It looks classier than others. Even ultimates are in a box that looks like a toy rather than a collectable (which primarily they are a toy but they also have a collectors market too so kind of half n half)

There weren’t any “Tully Brothers” in wrestling. Seeing the other spelling errors it’s probably either The Mulkey Brothers or Tully Blanchard.

Does anyone know when Kerry wore that jacket? I always remember him having a robe.

So any guesses - are we ordering these through HighSpots or the PowerTown website, or somewhere else?
EDIT - looks like the PowerTown website

These look terrific but the price is too high for me to consider this particular wave.
If they get around making Leilani, Rockin Robin, Madusa, or any of the other women legends announced I will be first in line to preorder.

Anyone else get the email update from PowerTown today? Pre-orders start Friday at 12 pm Eastern, and if you are buying a bundle you can use the code POWER for an additional 10% discount. No word on what the pricing for the bundles will be yet, just $45 per figure. I'm hoping they offer a good deal if you buy the full set. If it is $250 for all six, with the extra 10% off that would come out to $37.50 per figure, which isn't that bad.

Not Powertown related, but that OSFTM Vader is one of my all time favourite wrestling figures. It's basically perfect, easily the best Vader figure outside of the Charapro. |
