Has anyone tried to remove the head on one of these PowerTown figures? I’d love to have a Stan Hansen retro, and this seems like a pretty cheap choice for a head.

Well shoot. I don't know if this would help or hinder his chances to be in this figure line, but Ole Anderson passed away. Anyone that has seen my posts on a regular basis knows that I am a HUGE Ric Flair fan, along with the 4 Horsemen. I started watching wrestling as a kid with the local AWA shows on Sunday morning, but as I grew into a teenager, my primary viewing was the classic Crockett television from the mid-80s, featuring the birth of the Four Horsemen. While we have had plenty of Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, and Tully Blanchard figures over the years, we even did get a JJ Dillon and Barry Windham from Mattel, but no Ole Anderson. He is sorely missed in the wrestling figure world, in my humble opinion.
I hope this doesn't hurt his chances of being signed by Powertown.

I don't think it will hurt the chances.

A box set of all the original 4 Horsemen including JJ Dillon would be amazing … problem is, slow as Powertown moves we wouldn’t actually get it in hand until the year 2044 … so yeah, get excited

Arn anderson has the rights to the four horsemen since 2022. So since arn is still alive im sure he will support any figure of his old tag team partner.

Assuming that includes likenesses, or is it just the name and associated copyrights? Hopefully we hear news soon.

My hope is that when these start going, we can get to a place where there are new preorders every month for something. Maybe like April March for Remco, May April for TNA, June May for Ultra 2, then July for Remco 2, August for TNA 2, September for Ultra 3, and so on.

Yes, you should be able to preorder them all at once.

I loved the original set and ordered them but $25 per figure seems high for me personally. If anybody wants them, I have no problems with them but not for me is all.

Guessing there's no pics of these TNA figures? No. Should we start complaining that they’re not a real company and are in over their heads?
