Curious to see if PowerTown will do a ring at some point. For loose collectors: what scale ring looks best for these? I haven't opened mine yet, but board member Kyle Peterson posted unboxings that show them scaled next to most other figure lines - if that helps |

I skipped these initially because of the limb issues. Glad to see that’s been sorted. If anyone has an extra of any of the series 1 figures I’d be interested.

Honestly, I always thought that the "real scale" ring for the Mattel figures was a little too big for them. I think it would fit the Power town figures better than Mattel. Powertown figures seem to be like 5% bigger than Mattel. It's a miniscule difference but enough to notice |

I could see a ring down the line but it’s probably pretty low in the priority right now as they are still fulfilling ultras s1 and presumably preorders for S2 + the remco line etc. These are also advertised as ‘adult collectibles’ whereas Mattel’s are action figures (even though most collectors here are not banging them around in a ring). |

Just received my figures here in Canada. They are amazing. Kerry Von Erich was in my shipment.

why was DiBiase not released? Renewed his Legends deal with WWE, I think. |

Got my Kerry today! There was no shipping notice or tracking info, so I was totally surprised when I went to get the mail and the box was sitting there. Another excellent figure, and I especially like the World Class title belt. So glad I ordered this set because PowerTown really delivered. Bring on series 2!

Fedex? It was shipped USPS, just like the first batch. But last time I received an email that they shipped with tracking info, and this time there was nothing. It was a nice surprise to find the box waiting for me. I suspect others who are waiting on Kerry might have had their orders shipped but haven't been notified either. |

Yeah, got my Kerry today also and didn't get a notification. I just went out to let my dogs out and the package was sitting on the front porch.

I think the Myers and Cardona figures look great. I definitely plan to get both of them. The belts are also nice additions. I remember hearing they had a deal with the NWA so seeing that belt isn’t too much of a surprise, but seeing an Impact belt is a surprise for sure. I wonder if they can do other Impact belts? |

I meant that as a compliment (the belts are so good it’s worth the price of the figure alone). Those preview images look even better than series 1. I find that Matt’s serious face isn’t as good as his taunting face where as Brian’s serious face looks more accurate than his screaming face. Even the “less accurate” heads (for lack of a better term) are some of the best I’ve seen from any company.

Got mine today, just opened them! Initial thoughts they are great, scale a bit big (Vern is the smallest and looks good next the WWE and AEW figures the rest are a tad big), they look amazing. I can’t pick which of the four I like the best. Thesz and Gagne are so simple but they look brilliant. The belts are freaking gorgeous for tiny little toy belts. Wish I I had ordered Magnum and Kerry just for the belts now. Only complaint thus far is the stiffness of the joints but they are adult premium figures so understandable (they don’t feel like they are going to break just hard to move)
Pretty sure we can smoke and mirror them with other lines for fig photography.
Looking forward to the day they give us Gorgeous George and David Von Erich (and the WCCW Texas title!)

Won't buy the MWFP figures because I only collect Attitude Era and earlier but they look really nice!

Figures do look great, but I don't care about these two, to be honest. They go up for preorder the 14th, and I am hoping that shortly after that, we hear about the next wave of Ultras from Powertown. If the second wave are due to be 'in hand' by the end of the year, the info and preorders should go up soon.

They did respond. They said “Later this summer” So who knows. End of July? Probably not til august sometime. |

I got the impression from that Steve Rosenthal interview about a month ago that they are really undecided - like they have 'too many good' wrestlers to include and they couldn't decide which ones to use. I mean it is a good thing to have, I guess, but man, it is not like they have a limited run.
From everything I gather it seems the first series was a resounding success, even taking in the leg breaking issue. These are so well received, that I fully expect the next few series to be even bigger hits. So hopefully they are taking the time to map out 2-3 more waves at a time, whether they share those right away or not, they at least have them on deck.
