I still think these look good. The Thesz and Gagne protos look great.
I'm very interested to see how these work out and what they have in store past the first wave.

I wonder if they cancelled the wwe Strongbow because he got signed to this company and they gave mattel a c&d? if the figures come out and they aren't garbage this could be a great outlet for what would be shortpacked elsewhere No it’s because for some reason Mattel didn’t know cultural appropriation of indigenous people is a hot button topic and considered racist until well after the figure was produced. PowerTown has DiBiase signed and Mattel is releasing his figure. It's now rumored that the DiBiase figure might not be released because of his WWE deal. |

Look great, still hoping for better leg articulation like double jointed knees and hope the thighs are ball joint.

Does anyone else find it interesting the complete 180 the Major Wrestling Figure Podcast has done on this brand. Went from them advising wrestlers and fans not to be involved or support the brand to now actually looking forward to them being released. What a turn around in attitude.
I for one am excited about this line coming out, I can see it doing very well and exceeding all expectations.

I find your obsession with the Major pod guys more interesting.

They look better than Mattel and Jazwares for me. They have that modern style while still managing to look pretty retro, like modern Remco AWA figures should. Still not really my preferred scale, but I appreciate that they're not trying the same thing as the other popular lines. The figures themselves don't look hindered by a zillion points of articulation.

Is there a wiki for who they have signed? I'm getting a little overexcited for the first timers.

I question some of those WWE talents...not just Ted. Well,Mattel previously had Hillbilly Jim, Tito Santana, Medusa, Harley Race, Bobby Heenan, Mean Gene, and Diamond Dallas Page. Most of these only had 1 figure, and we know in the case of Harley that Mattel no longer has access to him. I would not be surprised of these previous contracts have expired, and now Powertown does have access. I really hope these come through and are a success. If they fit in with Mattel Elites and AEW Unrivaled, this could really give us a complete collection. |
