Adding this here as I’m not sure it needs its own thread at this time. TNA Ultras lineup revealed: www.instagram.com/reel/C3IrQUxRCqN/?igsh=ZGxhem5ydTA3YXFyGood group (Josh Alexander, Moose, Jordynne Grace, Eddie Edwards). The footage of each star did a good job of capturing who they were…but I’m not so sure about that script or the person delivering it. Maybe both. End of the day it doesn’t matter I suppose but it’s one area where PowerTown can improve upon with their marketing.

I don’t watch tna but I know who the tna guys are and of course Jordynne grace made a big hit at the rumble. But is anyone dropping $50 per on these?!

The only modern guys I collect are people who I have special memories of (live/in person). Of the TNA roster the only ones I would consider getting would be PCO and a strong maybe with Flash Morgan Webster and Trent Seven.

Solid lineup. It's almost the same as the original chella/epic line-up except Deonna Purrazzo( since she left) who is now Josh Alexander. PCO would be a must have as he would be a cool looking figure.

This seems appropriate as this is a thread for all things Powertown - Ultras, Remcos, TNA, so this works here.

I wonder how much bigger then WWE and AEW figs these will be. Wish they had stayed in scale with them.

I thought that they were going to make an effort to make sure that scale was the same as other companies wrestling figures. Hopefully they tweak them down a tad, but it's probably unlikely at this point. My Bruiser Brody is like Andre The Giant in my display!

Has anything been mentioned anywhere about mini figures? I thought i saw them previously mentioned but haven’t seen any follow up on that front; i would think those would be quickest and easiest to produce.

Boss Fight's Lucha figures changed sizes between series 1 & 2. Series 1 looked tiny next to Mattel. Series 2 scales nicely next to Mattel. Not saying it'll happen, but I guess it could.

That is a strong first line-up. I like that they are prioritizing the cancelled figures for those who were waiting for Moose, Jordynne, and Edwards from Chella/Epic.
I have a TNA shelf comprised of Mattel, Jazwares, and Boss Fight figures. I hope that Powertown will scale down these figures so they can fit in.

Current PowerTown figure owners: how would you feel if they went to a smaller scale (closer to Mattel/Jazzwares)? Would it make a difference with your current display or is it something you would be fine with overlooking?
Honestly, the only argument I can think of offhand for keeping them at the larger scale is that it allows for easier detailing.

I would be fine if they decreased the scale a little to fit in better with Mattel/Jazwares. I've got the first wave and think they all look great on their own, but some of them tower over the other figures I have. Definitely not a deal breaker for me, but I do intend to support them and keep buying their Ultras figure line.

If they want to start tna in a smaller scale fine but don’t have ultra s2 be out of scale with s1. Powertown, even if scaled down, aren’t going to blend in with your jazzwares & mattels anyways. So why bother

I don’t own any yet so I’m not sure if you are referencing their detail, posture, or what exactly. They are thicker & wider in addition to being an inch taller in scale. Powertown blend in better with storm collectibles. Powertown like Storm feel like a more high end figure but also more fragile too. (Not that I’ve had any issues with breaking but a Mattel could nosedive off your shelf and can pick it back up not sure if powertown wouldn’t be unscathed) It’s not a diss towards Mattel/jazzwares or powertown. I like them all

So why bother I agree with your first point and 100% disagree with the 2nd point. I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just giving the OP another opinion

My Suzuki and Hogan figures blend in well enough with the Elites and Jazwares I have on display but they aren’t exactly posed standing in a uniform way. They felt “close enough” in size for me to not notice a substantial difference. I have a weird collection though so it works for my unique needs and not necessarily the majority. I appreciate knowing why you felt that way about how they wouldn’t scale down properly/why you wouldn’t want them. Makes total sense.
