I think a late 70s/early 80s era Harley is very plausible...head scan with the mutton chops and a soft goods red & blue jacket or robe.Seems like it'd be perfect for the legends line. Him coming with the NWA belt doesn't seem very likely, unfortunately.

I just wonder how Mattel would handle or even do them, I know Steve said that Brody for example has never been under a Legends deal or else he would've gotten a figure.

Are you referring to Harley Race? If so, I looks like his estate re-signed a Legends deal recently, which is why Mattel is putting out the re-release of the King Harley Race figure. I am hopeful that they can put out an early 80s figure in the Legends line, and that maybe the manager Harley Race figure can be released somewhere.

Ahh, sorry I meant some of the other guys that are in PowerTown's wheelhouse. Im trying to picture them in Mattel packaging.

Well, Magnum and Kerry do have Mattel releases so you could just look them up and check those out. Brody, hypothetically, I could see done in the Legends or Collector's Edition (if that's still a thing). In fact, I would say that for most of those guys actually. And for guys who were part of teams, like Koloffs and Von Erichs, I think a RSC exclusive multi-figure pack could be plausible as well.

I was looking through the PowerTown Wrestling Instagram posts and noticed some replies from Steve that I found interesting. Someone asked about if there was going to be a 2nd line and Steve did confirm "YES...there will be a Series 2 and 3 and 4 etc etc." Another person asked about the Remco line and Steve said "Remco Series 1 will be released shortly." Both of these replies were made 1 week ago, and are found under replies to their last "Happy Easter from PowerTown" post. I had seen some people recently questioning if they were still going to continue the line, as well as if the Remco line was still being planned, so I thought I would share this. Looking forward to their next reveals and hoping they will be available shortly thereafter!

Update for those who dont read or get the emails. To All Our PowerTown Supporters-
The new and improved PowerTown Ultras Series 1 are almost here. While we missed our anticipated shipping date due to a delay en route, we are expecting delivery to our distribution partner shortly.
The latest information from our freight forwarder, CSL Express Line, is that containers will begin arriving at our fulfillment partner this week. Orders will begin shipping when all containers have been received.
That said, if you have had a change of delivery address that you have NOT emailed along with your order number to support@powertownwrestling.com , please do so as soon as possible in order to insure correct delivery once shipment commences.
Again, we thank you for your continued support,
Steve

Good catch, I try to warn the forum members of how they are being manipulated but my posts keep getting deleted by the PTB. Containers at the docks or even shipping from China to them is beyond their control. These are just small companies, but even bigger companies have practically no control over containers just waiting at the docks; containers filled with new cars can just sit at the docks for more than 8 weeks, before the cars arrive at the dealerships. Big companies probably have a ship full of containers filled with their products. Small companies probably have just part of a container filled with their products, ships don't travel with just one partly filled container. So, no, you're NOT being manipulated; you're just acting like a spoiled little brat trying to cause a stir. THAT'S why your posts get deleted. If you can't cope with the fact that small companies can't pump out figures and deliver as fast as the big companies, than don't buy from them.

I’m ok waiting, especially since that first planned release seemed nearly impossible to pull off even without any issues. But I do wonder if we’ll be seeing Steve pop up anywhere in the next two weeks or if the Major Pod guys get their’s early just to ease people’s minds.
I do find it a bit suspicious we never heard what became of that first shipment, or any news on wave 2 or the Remco style line. So let’s all just wait and see where this all goes.

Honestly at this point in the game - as long as the figures find their way to me without the initial issues that surrounded Series 1, and at some point this year, I'll be a content buyer. Should we be having to wait this long? No. But you'd be waiting a hell of a lot longer if you were waiting on me to launch a line and get it to even this point. I am keen to see what names might make up a Series 2, and would be very interested in the market's response given the significant delays PowerTown has had. One would think you'd have to ensure there are some big names amongst the group to attract collectors who have been dis-heartened by the delays or limited communication output from the group. All that said, I'm keen to eventually get my Brody, Hansen, Von Erich and Magnum!

At this point if they do one wave of 6 a year, and they turn out great, I will be just fine with it. I wish we had news about future releases, but I guess all in due time.

I think they're damned if they do, damned if they don't. If they posted S2 lineups, there would be a bunch of comments how "they haven't even delivered the first series yet and are trying to sell me more figures!" I'd love to see 2 waves a year, but would be more than happy with one. The figures seem to be well designed, comparable to other lines, and they are going to give us names and titles that we wouldn't get any other way. Really looking forward to getting the first set in hand, but they get here when they get here.

These figures are the ones I'm most excited for out of every line out there these days. Hope they get here soon! I need that Brody.

I really hope once the kinks are worked out that these guys are successful. Most of the names we'd likely NEVER get any other way.

If this line succeeds (which I hope it does), it could resemble a current Jakks Classic Superstars-style line which could help us plug in missing wrestlers that Mattel have not been able to give us yet. This could end up being the best line of all the current smaller wrestling figure companies. Just give us Series 1 in hand & hopefully release the names of the figures in Series 2. At this pace, it will take Powertown around 75 years to produce figures of the 200+ wrestlers they have signed, unfortunately.

If they'd just pump the brakes a bit they'd be fine. They actually have good people behind it...

Ideally though, once they get past the first few waves, then things could move faster, with more existing tools to use. Similarly shaped and sized wrestlers can use the same tooling.
