My guess is nwo bischoff, ddp, big poppa pump. Maybe ways to convert into nwo branding as stretch goal. I think an nWo Bischoff is an absolute must and is actually a realistic possibility seeing as he's finally in the line. I'm hoping for some sort of Nitro ring conversion kit for people who have the New Gen ring but I get why that's not probably going to happen. Aside from Bischoff, other figures I'd hope for (if we're sticking with the same number of 3 that we got with the first crowdfund) would be a UE jeans DDP, UE Kevin Nash, or a UE short-haired, facial hair Roddy Piper with black No Fear shirt, leather jacket, and kilt. Only devil's advocate argument I'd make is that I don't know if he makes sense as an Ultimate. They'd need to tool a new body that wouldn't have a ton of re-use, and I think you could execute the figure well (jeans, molded NWO shirt, leather jacket, maybe an alt head) as an Elite. It's also a higher demand figure that would sell well as an Elite. |

No UE Kurt Angle for what has been teased, doesn't fit. Wonder if they'll make an UE Mick Foley for the Monday Night Wars angle.

Still don’t see how that would be “way more expensive “ than a ring. Only thing I see being “more expensive “ is going to be a Nitro stage. Yeah. I think people are reading too much into Steve saying they’re taking you back to the wars. I doubt they’re gonna give you a bunch of medium sized things. It’s gonna be one big thing and things that compliment it. And the stage can’t be a 2 in 1. There’s no shared parts to convert a Raw stage into a Nitro stage. Yeah, folks are setting the bar way too high. It makes a lot more sense for Mattel to run those as two separate campaigns from a business perspective. I wouldn't be surprised if the next WM line is a MNW line. Steve indicated that the line replacing RA would be era-based. I don't think they have enough WCW talent to justify a standalone line, so doing something cross-branded would fit with this as the kickoff item. |

The base itself could definitely be shared, and they could have the parts to convert the base to either, which I could see as a reality since it would certainly be expensive as Steve alluded to.  |

The only WCW UE I’d be interested in is Mortis and I doubt that ever even happens.  |

I have a feeling it's a 2 in 1 stage. WCW stage that can convert into a Raw is War stage and vice-versa. Plus they can sell it like that to those fans who would want to buy 2 of them to display both stages at the same time.

Im not talking about converting the stages, I’m talking about it just being 2 stages . I mean the man said “more expensive.” So I’m taking that as $500+ rather it’s just 2 stages with the announcers table or figures. Not saying it’s going to be both, but more than likely 1 stage a land things to go with it as you said |

You seem to be more into converting things. I on the other hand and im sure a lot of others would rather have 2 separate stages and 2 seperate rings instead of having to convert stuff. |

A bland Suited figure as a crowdfund ultimate is crazy

I think you guys are getting a bit pipe dream crazy with the 2 in 1. Nitro Stage was more elaborate than the Raw stage, but Raw is much larger with a tron. It wouldn’t be expensive, it would be ungodly expensive.

I don’t collect the RA line really, but before it ends it will have made it to series 6 with 3 figures per series? If they did a wcw line they could easily come up with 18 figures to go along with wcw. Macho Man, Rey Mysterio, Hulk Hogan, Booker T, Steamboat, Flair, Goldberg, DDP, Luger, Elizabeth, Mean Gene, Duggan,Dusty Rhodes, Malenko. Those are just a few off the top of my head they possibly still have signed; not counting a few they may of just signed like the Steiners. |

It wouldn’t be expensive, it would be ungodly expensive. We know it’s not going to be a 2 in 1. I was hypothetically speaking. And I definitely would have rather get the Nitro Stage before the Raw stage, but just doesn’t make sense to do this all backwards the way it may be heading with the raw ring with no entrance stage and nitro stage without the nitro ring unless you convert rings which takes away from the crowd funding from other things if you would’ve just made the nitro ring instead of the raw ring |

If it’s a limited run like the prior exclusives then they could do WCW. There’s plenty of talent to do at least 6 waves of 3 figures.

I'm betting it will be the Nitro stage AND the Raw Tron stage we saw at the Con last year, and 3-4 figs, maybe some other extras. No 2 in 1, just both stages. Can't see the cost being more than last time otherwise. I really don't want another full scale ring.

Lol I actually have no interest in either stage, just speculating on what it may be. I don't see them releasing 2 separate stages in 1 crowd fund from a business perspective, but I could see them doing a 2-in-1 where it could be converted. It might not be that at all, could just be Nitro with figures/accessories, we'll have to wait and see! |
