Pretty excited to scratch off two of my 10 Most Wanted List in Brody & Hansen.

Ordered the full set. They end up being $40 plus tax after shipping (to the US) using the promo code 'power'.
Powertown posted that international shipping is available now. Is it really $85?

Bought the 6 as a bundle. Initially I couldn’t purchase because they didn’t have shipping to Canada set up, but I messaged them and they fixed it pretty much within minutes. The figures look amazing. I really hope this set does well to get future sets.

I really hope this line is successful and that the pre-orders are going well for them. I've been wanting a new Kerry Von Erich and Bruiser Brody for years and look forward to more classic stars, particularly World Class. I picked up all 6 in the bundle using the promo code from the email. If they can add a Mil Mascaras, that would be an awesome figure to add to the collection. Can't wait for the next wave to be announced!

Kerry is my all time favorite and I think I’ve heard rumors that the other Von Erich brothers may be on the horizon. If that’s true then I could see them also making Fritz in his wrestling gear. Imagine Missing Link and or Great Kabuki in this line! |

Figures look amazing. Was literally going back and forth on whether these bring me back into the 6" or 7" line, but bundle of 6 is $408 AUD + postage....hits the hip pocket a lil too hard for me at this stage. Will continue down the Micro Brawler range for the minute, wait and see how the physical product and reviews of these PowerTown figs play out, and will look at potentially getting remaining four outside of Lou Thesz and Verne Gagne. Took everything in me to not fall into FOMO territory haha!!!

I really thought we’d never get a Stan Hansen. And it still hasn’t really hit me that one could be standing on my shelf in a few months. I hope it looks good next to Luger

I was going to just get figures of guys that neither Jakks nor Mattel has made figures of (Verne Gagne, Lou Thesz, Stan Hansen). Then I thought, well I don't have a Kerry Von Erich and it would cost me over $100 to get the Mattel one off the secondary market so I bought him too. Then I thought, well that Bruiser Brody looks way better than my Jakks one and it comes with a title belt I don't own, so I bought that one as well. Then I thought, That Magnum TA might be slightly better than my mattel one and it comes with a belt I don't own and am I really going to order all but 1? So here I am....ordered all of them and feel kind of sick about that $280 I just spent Not as sick as you'd feel if you had to FOMO in later. |

I paid the extra for the Canada Post shipping so I can roll the dice. Usually, UPS is cheaper to start but then they kick you in the nuts later when they hold your package hostage until you pay up whatever brokerage fees they want to charge you on top of the duties. |

The UPS showed up as twice the price as USPS when I went to check out, except I only had 3 in my cart. |

Got Association bundle and Lou Thesz. I didn’t want Brody bc I already have the Jakks Classic but I figured saving 10% on the bundle and just selling Brody would be better. ..or maybe I’ll sell the Jakks.

The prospect of getting a freakin Gino Hernandez fig is closer than ever. He was well before my time but my grandpa LOVED Gino and always showed me old recorded matches.

Imagine Missing Link and or Great Kabuki in this line! Kerry has been one of my absolute favorites as well, ever since I was a kid. I would imagine we will see Kevin and David pretty early on the line. The Missing Link and Kabuki are very much deserving of figures; I have long wanted Mattel to make Missing Link but realized it was a long shot. Now we have a chance at those kind of guys to actually be made! Would love to have some classic World Class and NWA ring skirts down the line as well... |

Missing Link is one of my biggest wants. Kabuki would be sick too....oh man.
Didnt preorder anything but will absolutely buy kerry,brody & hansen when they're available to actually purchase. Hope the preorders goes smoothly for everyone.

I'd like to see them do a Tom Zenk to go next to my Mattel Flyin' Brian.
Road Warriors, Rock 'n' Roll Express, and Midnight Express would all be great too.

I got the full set yesterday to keep MOC but just went back and got an extra Kerry and Brody to open up. I knew I would regret it down the line if I didn't; you can't get an unopened Kerry or Brody figure from any other line for $45...Mattel Kerry was around $250-$300 and even Jakks Brody was up to $80-100 last time I checked.

If you use a credit card, do they charge immediately or when they ship?
Either way, I’m on the fence. Brody and Hansen are the big draws for me, but Brody’s prototype looks a bit off compared to the digital render. I think it’s the eyes. I’m being very critical here, but at $45, these need to be home runs for me.
On the other hand, I think the Von Erich prototype looks fantastic compared to the digital render. The rest are very close for me.

Any guesses on when they will announce Wave 2? Am hoping for a David Von Erich to match Kerry (then Kevin in Wave 3). If wave 2 has figures matching up with Wave 1, it may help people on the fence decide on Wave 1.
