PowerTown Wrestling Figures

If TWC isn’t Powertown did they give them their mailing list or something? I don’t remember singing up for TWC and everyone who ordered from Powertown seems to get their emails

I agree. Unless they write it off as a tax thing, they should be selling these somehow. If they go the route of writing them off as a tax thing, then they legally cannot do anything like pull the belts out. However, if it were me, I would put some sort of sticker on the bottom of the box, stating something like FIRST RUN - DEFECTS, and sell those at a discount. Like $35 or so per figure. I am sure MIB people would be perfectly happy with those, at least some would.

I already have all 6 MIB, and also Brody, Hansen, and Von Erich as openers, and now that I have them in hand I regret not having the other 3 as openers. If this were to give me an option to get at least Gagne as an opener (MIB the defective and open my Gagne), then so be it, I would be all over that.

That said, I am also hoping the prices keep coming down from TWC as if they do get to a certain point, I would get the remaining 3 that I need to open. But $69 each is not there yet.

Goes until "at least August 28th", but no word on whether or not it'll extend beyond that

Yeah, I’ve been patient waiting on news for S2 &
I know the major pod/ bro 2 pack is up (but that’s not the classic guys we are waiting for) and they got the remco style next but they really need to at least announce the lineup or pre order date for ultra S2. The excitement for these are high & I worry powertown is trying to expand and do too much too soon.


I agree with Cardona on his latest podcast that they are bigger & thicker than Mattel so they don’t really look great on the shelves with Mattels. Just like A Mattel would look off on a shelf full of power town. So Powertown needs to start churning out some more releases and capitalize on the demand while it’s still hot.

It has been a long time without news on series 2. I’m hoping that series 2 is about done, so that when they announce, it’ll be ready to ship asap. Although, it’s probably wishful thinking because they will have to go through pre orders, find out how many they’ll sell, then start production.

I was under the impression that after the initial wave, they’d have a faster turn around for pre orders. I still think they will.

I believe they claimed they’d do 2-3 ultra waves per year. But that sounds wishful thinking. We’ll Be lucky to get a 2nd wave in hand by end of year at this rate. Lol

Agreed & I am hopeful you are right that they can alternate between ultras & remco style once they get the first wave of that out and be a little quicker in releases.

Interesting & likely take on the cardona & myers 2 pack.
I too get the exposure of having those guys hype up the Powertown brand.
Like you said A) they don’t really fit the company message & B) these are the last 2 guys that need new figures asap. (Regardless of How much you like or don’t like them.)
So likely a way to show off powertown’s capabilities with a pair of modern guys who don’t wear plain single colored trunks like many of the legends from the 60s-80s wore.

I’m chomping at the bit for how many legends they can do from the “territory days” in the ultra line. So frustrating it’s taking so long for an announcement on S2. Guess that helps our wallet for now. Ha

I just hope they don't get too into 'Present' and stick to the 'Past', but that may just be me. I watch WWE and AEW. None of their current wrestlers will be represented, obviously. Getting figs from the 70s and 80s territory days ticks off so many boxes, that I hope that is what they stick with,.

I totally get that, but for me that is mainly due to the lack of news.

The last rumored lineup for Wave 2 (from last October) was this:

Gorgeous George
Wahoo McDaniels
Ivan Koloff
Nikita Koloff
R&R Express Robert Gibson
R&R Express Ricky Morton

But this could change as Madusa was 'confirmed' by Steve Rosenthal a few months back.

If these 6 or 7 figures were confirmed, and they looked as great as the first wave, my excitement would be right back just as it was after seeing the first renders of the first series.

I just hope when they get a pace going and leave us with more to anticipate to keep the excitement going. What I mean is to announce Series 2, with renders or pictures, and also announce just the lineup for Series 3. Then maybe after Series 2 starts to ship, show the renders/pictures for Series 3, and announce the lineup for Series 4, so we always know 2 lineups, and am always looking forward to what is next - either the next lineup announcement or the next images to be released.
