PowerTown Wrestling Figures

Man, wish they’d do 6 inch scale rather than 7 inch. Oh well, that counts me out.

Seems to have been something Myers spearheaded like we talked about pages ago. Could be really cool, especially if those tan legacy contracts or whatever legally hold up. Either way, I hope one of the first tings they do is highly detailed MCMG.

If Powertown feels like they can be successful with a TNA line, good for them, but I feel like this is taking on too much, and will just slow down the other lines. Personally, I don’t even watch current wrestling, so I’m only into the legends.

Funny to think that considering most of the roster (especially the Knockouts) have said they've received offers from AEW and turned them down. Most notably Josh Alexander having a meeting with Khan and declining after he couldn't tell Josh what plans he had for him after his debut. Moose had a WWE offer in 2020 and chose to stay aswell.

Interesting, I hadn't heard that. Maybe part of it with me is that I just didn't get into TNA at all.

I am currently 52 (just shy of 53) and my wrestling viewing history starts with the AWA in the late 70s, early 80s. Bockwinkel, Hogan, Jerry Blackwell, Sheik Andnan El-Kaissie, Mad Dog Vachon, etc is what started me as a wrestling fan. My main influence though was the TBS Crockett shows from the mid-80s. Flair and the Horsemen at their peak, Dusty Rhodes, Magnum TA, the Koloffs, Midnight Express, Rock N Roll Express, Road Warriors, etc. All time favorites. I dabbled in the WWF back then, but didn't get into it as much as the NWA stuff. But my 17-23 year old me strayed and didn't get back into it until WCW in the mid-90s, about a year before the nWo happened - then I was pulled right back into it. I didn't watch WWF even during the Attitude Era until Benoit/Guerrero jumped over - the writing was starting to be on the wall where WCW was concerned. The 2000s then the WWF was the only thing in town - I tried the different eras of TNA/Impact, but none of it stuck for me personally.

AEW has come along and I really enjoyed it at first, but the roster just got H U G E and they don't seem to have any long term storyline plans in place, so it just kind of fizzled on me. I did watch TNA for a bit, starting when Omega won the AEW title and did that crossover with Don Callis and the TNA group, and the Good Brothers were also bouncing between shows, but again, TNA just never stuck with me. I just couldn't get into it - and that is my personal preference. To be clear, I am not knocking it at all, but it just never appealed to me.

I am happy for the fans and that those wresters will be getting figures now, I just personally will not be getting them. My main fear like a few others have posted on here, is that it will cut into the resources for the classic wrestlers. Now, if they are able to double the staff, double the factories, etc, and produce the same amount of classic wrestling lines along with the TNA line, then cool. By all means, if this helps Powertown, then cool. I just fear that they are going to be spreading themselves too thin.

Looks like they're going to do some "upscale" repaints under the name Diamond Collection. Not sure how much meat on the bone there is for that, but the all-white Kerry looks pretty cool.

I am excited for this news and glad that TNA can finally get figures of their wrestlers again. I do wish they can add more articulation to the TNA figures so they can be up to date with the rest of the modern roster from other wrestling figure lines. Also wish the titles straps would have the same setup as the Mattels championship. Other than that I am excited for this!

That price point is pretty high at $55. Looks cool, that’s just too much especially with the holidays here. Seems like something you should release next year.

I assume they wanted to tie it to the movie.
