Since this is a poll/discussion, have you all noticed the numbers change over time?

Since this is a poll/discussion, have you all noticed the numbers change over time? I changed mine a while back from "Only the ones I want" to "All of them." I quite like these and am very impressed on how these have been handled,even with the delay to fix the first batch. |

I haven’t changed my vote from they won’t see the light of day. Obviously I was very wrong and I’m glad to be. I’m ready to preorder series 2 as soon as they put it up.

Anyone else in the UK ordered these directly of the powertown website and have gotten a heavy custom fee?

I’m still going to cherry pick because of the price point, but there’s a good chance they announce a wave where I want everyone.

That was my original thought, but if they are only doing one or two waves a year, I can afford that. If they got to Mattel Elite levels, and had a new wave every other month, I would maybe have to rethink - originally I wasn't going to get Kerry or Magnum because I had their Elite, but I am so glad that I did. |

Last I heard they will have 2 maybe 3 waves of ultra per year. So prob 2. Lol I didn’t get Kerry since I have Mattel’s elite but wish I had now. |

So here is a thought. Maybe they will be at SDCC and announce the next wave there?

Bam, 40 for you!  |

So do we have a lot of people left whose figures haven’t shipped out yet? Just trying to gauge how far along they are.

Curious to see if PowerTown will do a ring at some point.
For loose collectors: what scale ring looks best for these?

Not sure if anyone mentioned this earlier, but the heads seem to be pretty easily swappable. I popped the Kerry head onto a Texas Tornado custom I've been working on. Popped on and off without needing heat. The head sat a little high on the Mattel peg and is a little large, but overall would definitely work with little to no modification.
