13 months from announcing the company to shipping product. And some really good looking figures at that. When you see other companies like Boss Fight taking years and years to deliver on product, I think it shows what can be accomplished with the right team and industry experience.
Based on some of the names floated around, I'm really excited for S2. I'd like to see these scaled next to AEW/WWE figures. But I can't wait to get these in hand.

Great news to finally see some figures in the mail! Too bad Kerry Von Erich isn’t ready, but at least it’ll ship without an extra shipping charge. The most exciting thing to me about powertown, is getting figures Mattel would never make! The list of guys signed is amazing. Can’t wait for a proper figure of Nick Bockwinkel. Long overdue. And Mad Dog Vachon! Fingers crossed for a Buddy Rogers eventually.

Should we pit together a wishlist of people they could plausibly get and pass it on? Or vote on who should be prioritized based on who we know is signed? I'm trying to the Classic Superstars survey that Ringside put out during that era. EDIT: Found it! www.ringsidecollectibles.com/ClassicSurvey2007.html

I initially only wanted the Brody, but after seeing the Magnum I think I might be more excited for that one.

YES! Now get me Gorgeous George, Bockwinkle, Buddy Rogers, the rest of the Von Erich’s (especially David) Barry Horowitz and Gentleman Chris Adams!

I hope they include my childhood favorite Tony Atlas in wave 2. Also sign Rick Martel.

My biggest want by far in this line is Ole Anderson. I am hoping that they can get him done. That would be an instant buy from me.

I’m sure it’s pure hyperbole to ask this, but do you think this line will influence Mattel at all? Go after some of the older guys? Release ‘companion’ figures like that Mid-South DiBiase?

I have wondered that sort of thing myself. I thought that when I saw the news a few weeks back about the Headbangers getting a 'Nostalgia' contract. Those may have been created to cover some of these lesser known names into getting 'in the fold' for WWE/Mattel figures.

We really need him to officially complete the original Four Horsemen. My #1 want is Nikita Koloff. Nikita is high on my list, and at least he is on the previously announced wrestlers that are signed, so I think we have a pretty good chance at both Nikita and Ivan Koloff in the line. No mention yet of Ole anywhere but I am hoping. Ole is notorious for having such a hatred towards Vince McMahon that he has shunned WWE Legends type contracts in the past, so I am hoping that this is an opportunity for him to get something without having WWE involved.

The time is NOW to announce series 2... we are all about to hype the heck out of these guys
