What’s the rrp for supremes? I think in a way they’re the next step from ultimates with the swappable legs. Imagine if ultimates went the same way. Say macho with one upper body but then a trunks and a tight lower half do you can have a 2in1 macho man and macho king. I have no clue. I don't collect the AEW line. I think the concept would be really cool for Mattel, especially if you want to do fixups. Like jean highlights/ hair tones etc (which they have done in the past) nonpainted torsos. Jeans great call for someone like Austin He pretty much was shirtless with vest and jeans for promos etc and then shirtless with vest and trunks in the ring so you could get ‘street attire’ and ring attire super easy. Seems like an obvious line to consider imo |

Seems like an obvious line to consider imo I'm surprised it hasn't been considered yet. Imagine all the Bret Hart combinations you could make, or Rey Mysterios etc. Possibilities are endless. I think though, Mattel might get more sales from individual sales than doing some swappable ones though. |

I'm leaning into it being hell in the cell
With Shawn Michaels and Taker
Tier 1 Mankind
Tier 2 Ring skirts Ground Zero or Bad Blood
Tier 3 Triple H or Randy Orton
Early bird 05 Batista or 02 Lesnar.

I don’t believe it’s anything guessed so far.

[/quote]Wow you have a good eye man. I was skeptical at first but you make some really solid points there. Very impressed.
I am now convinced the next crowdfund is gonna be a 2-in-1 stage, which the pieces can be configured into Monday Nitro or Attitude Era Raw.
Obviously the previously shown stages are mockups (AFA confirmed this I believe), so not even prototypes, but the seeds of the idea are definitely visible when you know what to look for.
I might be in the minority but I'd really like the figures to be more obscure Elites (instead of A-lister Ultimates), like ring announcers, commentators, referees, etc. I'd love to get a Michael Buffer, Referee Nick Patrick, and Steve McMichael.[/quote]
I have seen 3 different images (Axxess, a youtube still and one from AFA insta story) and that was all I needed to be able to mentally dissect the stage. I guess it was easier for me as I make these too. You are bang on there I would love to see figures who were not necessarily the faces of wcw but the guys who you think of and realise the show was not the same without them. My personal opinion is it will be a Nitro x Raw stage and the unlockables will be members of nWo and DX

I can see it being one of the stages - most likely the Raw stage since the ring was just released.
I think whichever stage they don't pick will be released later (like the Raw ring was once New Gen was funded) if it is funded. Part of the crowd funding is to create the molds so Mattel can reuse and release additional products later on. For that reason, I don't think they'll give us two stages, but will be happy if they do.

Tbh I'm more excited about the possibility of getting more made to order figures(or whatever they called the Cody and Logan Ultimates)and what it will be,then the crowd fund project. I'm a lot more likely to give around $50-55 for those then I am whatever this project is for the price people's thinking. I don't have the space for these bigger items and just really don't care about them if I did,so ill be giving that much for the figures anyways. I would love for these to become a full time thing,maybe you could do a legend this time,current next and keep changing off or even do one of each if its gets enough interest.

After all the talk, research, and speculation... this is my guess on the crowdfund:
Raw is War stage. $399. 5000 backers. 3 Tiers plus Earlybird offer.
No idea on Tiers 1 and the Earlybird. I bet they will all be figure related, of some sort.
Tier 2: Parts to make the Nitro stage
Tier 3: UE nWo Eric Bischoff
Anything more, and this ain't gonna get funded, and I'm gonna be pretty heated. They're definitely gonna need a hella talent on the Earlybird to make this go into the stratosphere, like Macho for the NGA. That's my hope; I really want this to be successful.

While I do think the Nitro and Raw stages share the same base parts, I highly doubt Mattel would do a 2-in-1. I would imagine it's much more likely that they would approach it the same way they did the rings. Maybe the RAW stage is the crowd fund, and the Nitro stage uses the molds and is released (with a Nitro kit for the ring) as an exclusive shortly after the Raw stage ships.

It would be smart to do the raw is war stage because ppl would also buy the attitude era ring which is still available on MC.

Definitely makes even more sense. And like the AE ring, the Nitro stage/ringkit could be at a lower price point than the initial crowdfund. |

I would be all for this because I don't need anything Raw related. I also don't want to pay $400-500 either. |

The light up entrance of the new gen arena is the bill of that cost and is a fantastic piece. I love the idea of the RAW set but the more I think about it, I’m not sure what they realistically can make it ‘do’ to justify such a big cost. I can’t see them doing the smoke gimmick that was in show last year and I can’t see them being able to include a working tron of any kind.
If it’s just a load of plastic with very limited or no interactive aspects, it’s really going to need a lot of very good figures to drive the numbers of backers needed. The other thing about the attitude era is the figures people really need/want from that era are mid to lower care guys who wouldn’t warrant Ultimate treatment…and most of that talent don’t even appear to be signed.

I think making guys who wouldn’t warrant Ultimate treatment is kinda the incentive they go for. Never would have even thought about Doink as an ultimate if it wasn’t included in the last crowd fund. Id love to see the Raw is War stage, the black cage from St Valentines Day Massacre, ropes/ring skirts for Attitude Era PPV’s or the original smack down, and a handful of ultimates. Give me Chyna, Kurt Angle, Eddie, a new Triple H, Vince…. Don’t need another Stone Cold, Rock, or Taker. As long as it’s focused on the Attitude Era, I’ll back it. Really wanted to back last year but I was downsizing my collection and couldn’t justify having a ring and entrance for an era where I was selling off all my figures. |

I hope the details of this project are released when I'm able to sit here and just watch the comments roll in. I feel like it's going to be a classic Wfigs day.

How about an in-scale Titan Tower building?

As much as I'm hoping for a Mick Foley figure associated with this I also don't want one to be if the price has gone up. Can't justify it for a bucket list figure if it's part of an expensive set. |

At this point, we really don’t need any more Mick Foley’s unless it’s an updated and improved Dude Love with tie dye. We have the defining moments Hell in a Cell Mankind coming and that’s as definitive Mick Foley you could ever get in the attitude era. I would however take a Yurple the clown, Ultimate Vince and Dr Austin with bed pan. |
