Anyone know if this is a genuine attire and if so, where/when he wore it? I know he wore that ‘style’ of gear in WWF but don’t recall that colour scheme and pattern? If it’s ring accurate and not stupid money then I might order it, the idea of Mattel getting him back and doing the ultimate for $25 though is a factor. Raw 7/4/94  |

5 years later..
All in all, JJ looks great. Hopefully reasonably priced.

5 years later.. All in all, JJ looks great. Hopefully reasonably priced. Pricing will be the deal breaker for me. These look really good, Ultimate Edition good. And I get that it’s an independent company, so expecting a little higher, but still not willing to go much more than $50 per figure. I feel like PowerTown set a nice tone on what this scale can cost, done well for an independent company. |

I am all good for this, but like the others, price point is the big question. $50 per figure seems to be about the most I will do. On that note, with Pillman with Mattel now, I am find skipping that one, and I already have the Mattel Bundy. Of the 4 figures I am most looking forward to Abdullah the Butcher actually, then Jeff Jarrett. If I can get those two for $100 I would be fine with that.

Also, I hope that since these are in 'post-production' that means these will ship when ordered, or very shortly afterwards.

I honestly expect it to be around $75 which is a hard no for me. I can deal with $50ish, but anything above that I’m out.

But I’ll probably end up getting Abby and Jarrett if they are $75. Will definitely not be getting Pullman and Bundy for that price though Hopefully they are priced similarly to Powertowns though. Jarrett looks amazing |

Looks great tbh. Wonder what the price points are. Yeah I agree with the guys above. 45-60 maximum. 75 would be a total cash grab. |

I wonder what the over/under is on Bundy being reworked. Jarrett looks great like he would fit in with Mattel/Jazwares/Storm/Super7/etc. Bundy looked like a different line which is a shame. Abby was kind of in the middle for me.
These feel like they will land in the $60 price range but I wouldn’t be shocked to see them go up to $75. Anything beyond that will be a hard sell.

$75 when Mattel could quite conceivably get the licence back and produce something better or as good for $25? That would be way too big for me. In all honesty, $50 is too much for a figure. I get it, not mass produced, costs etc but as a consumer that’s not my problem.

I said 75 - 80 is what I think he will want for these.
We are in the era where companies will charge that sort of price now
Thankfully, for me there isn't anyone in series 1 I would be happy paying that for.
If it surprisingly is 50 or less I will probably grab Double J our of curiosity

I really wish you all would stop throwing out all these insane prices you “think” he will charge or what you're “willing” to pay. He surely watches these boards and threads. Why give him any ideas. For all we know they will be $40-45 plus shipping.

No way this is the same price as one of those. |

No way this is the same price as one of those. Ding ding ding This. We have also seen what Super7 and Storm charge and we know those are more established companies who likely have lower costs and produce a higher volume. So lower run figures with more detail (probably various hand painted deco)…why would it not be higher? It’s no secret that he browses these forums. Obviously he won’t sell them at a loss. His painter Jennifer Johnson stated that some of the retro figures have a very small profit margin which is believable. These 7 inch scale figures have far more articulation which only drives up the cost with unique parts and such. It’ll be interesting to see how these are rolled out, how durable they are, and at what price point. At this time there isn’t anything I absolutely need but I am definitely open to anything that fits within my collecting rules. |

Jarrett looks solid but he's an easy pass for me, so is Pillman now that Mattel has access to him again. Bundy should be exciting but he stands out a little too much from the Mattel stuff for my liking. Don't love the way they did the neck articulation for Abdullah but if they can deliver him for 50 or less I'll probably pick him up

might as well wait for Mattel to do another Bundy rather than waste money on a figure that just looks bad compared to other lines

I knew he looked familiar. Yeah I'm gonna pass on Bundy. Maybe id buy a powertown version, id definitely buy a Mattel version, but ultimately I can live without him |
