I'm sorry but this is dog water.
- The early bird bonus only happens IF it gets 5k backers in a week and is a basically a re-release with new accessories
- No one was asking for the Rey and why he would be the auto include and not a FTITL Steiner is mind boggling.
- We've already gotten elites of that DDP look.
- Steiner is a great pick but will he shocked if it gets made if this gets funded at all.
- Street gear Warrior as the final goal is legit a joke. No one asked for this and out of all the people they have under contract related to WCW THIS is who the include.
- Nearly 450 dollars after taxes and shipping in a economy on the brink of a recession and none of the above are actually garuntees except for Rey.
The stage looks wonderful, but the price point is atrocious and the figure choices are the worst imaginable. I've seen a lot of copium in here about Hogan and Warrior are gonna be enough to sell this and get to the final goal but I really don't see that happening over a re-release and street gear.

That stage is beautiful. Def in for at least 1! Im shocked we don’t have anything nWo in this set.
Let’s be honest without the nWo no one would have watched WCW. Let’s see what mattel has up their sleeves with next wks reveals.

Careful, if Cardona happens to read any of that he's gonna have an aneurysm.

What incentive do the “influencers” on IG and YouTube get from telling us, “you need to back this whether you like it or not because if you don’t there won’t be another crowdfund after it.”
I just think that’s a ridiculous take - given the circumstances and financial struggles a lot of folks are going through right now.

This board is full of the most miserable people on earth, my god, no wonder Cardona is a kingpin around here I don’t even care about the cost or whatever cuz I’m already not buying it but wow what a miserable sentiment for you to have, that’s shows no understanding of like, any socio-economic issues Then again why am I using big words like that on a wrestling board, it is me who is really the idiot I love your brutal honesty across this board. I’m trying to be positive too 😭😭😭 it’s a really nice item, why are we hating on poor people when there’s this nice item in front of us? This is like the best thing Mattel have ever made just talk about how cool it is and convince more people who can afford it to back it

If you’re old enough to remember WCW, then you should be old enough to have a decent of a job to afford a $400 toy. If not, then it’s simple, just don’t buy it. I’m sure there’s a reason this is wcw, it’s something they know adults can afford. If they do something modern, then I’m sure it wouldn’t be $400 because they know most of y’all’s parents aren’t gonna buy it for you, and majority of the ones on here crying about cost are probably the ones who don’t even know what wcw is. Looking for that signed 8x10?

Looking at that figure selection again, barring Steiner, not the most impressive lineup. Rey's similar to E100 (Good fig, but the E100 is more visually striking), we've gotten DDP in that look twice in the line so far and the aftermarket price isn't that insane on it, and I can't think of anyone clamoring for another red and yellow Hogan or Warrior
Looks like the stage and Steiner are what I want most here, the rest I can do without, but it feels super weird to have zero NWO rep when they're the ones who added fuel to WCW's fire in the Monday Night War, which they're banking on in the promotion so far.
You wanna know what would have been a better early bird than debut Hogan? Scott Hall from his first appearance on Nitro. Such an iconic look I wouldn't expect to be made in the main line, it would've been a perfect inclusion, especially if we're driving that Monday Night War theme home in the marketing.
That said, I understand likeness rights and having done other figures from the era already in Ultimate form, but could you imagine a redone Hollywood Hogan? Sting would have been a BEAUTIFUL inclusion and I'd fork over the funds right there.
I still say DDP in jeans would have been better over this look we've seen already in Elite form.

It’s a red and yellow Hogan. Plenty of those exist already. Not really much meat on that bone. There are zero yellow trunks WCW Hogan figures. Plus something like this has to have somewhat mass appeal. The goal should be to try and get the attention of some casual fans that may jump in for the first time after seeing this. My brother in christ, every yellow trunks Hogan is basically a WCW yellow trunks Hogan lmao.

That lower body on Warrior is definitely getting used for a Summerslam 2002 Shawn Michaels pretty soon

Stage looks just as amazing as I expected. Like a lot of people, I am also disappointed with the figure lineup. I assume most of these are cost cutting measures since a lot of the tooling on Hogan, Rey, and Warrior can be reused. The commentary desk and Bischoff would have been great additions, or maybe a Heenan.
I understand why we are not getting WCW Bret Hart, because if we got him, we would also need El Dandy.
I’ll pledge for it, but may cancel it if we don’t get to Steiner at the very least. Unlike Doink, I don’t see one figure in this set that would not be an Ultimate at some point in the future (or has been in the past)

Mattel when Jeff Jarrett goes to AEW and they can replace the Jeff Jarrett that would have been in this set with the 896th UE Ultimate Warrior

I can't believe y'all are hating on this. Blows my mind. Premium sets like this are all I could ever want as an adult wrestling figure collector. Like, dream stuff. Insane to me that anyone could see this and crap on it.

Every Hogan is in red and yellow with the only difference being the shirt design, if he has the yellow wrist bands or not, and if he’s got an 80s or 90s build. This figure is incredibly similar to the WM9 figure, so as an incentive it’s weakened because of this.

The goal should be to try and get the attention of some casual fans that may jump in for the first time after seeing this. A casual fan isn't going to drop 400+ on an arena. This set is for the hardcore collectors. You telling me that someone who never bought a Marvel Legend or maybe just a couple of their favorites over the years didn’t get wind of the Galactus crowdfund and ended up backing it? Or with the GI Joe Hiss Tank. That wasn’t anyone’s entry point into the Classified line? Plus the Mattel line has been alive for well over a decade. There hasn’t been anyone that stopped collecting in those years where this may be the piece that lures em back in?

$695 CAD...holy ****.
After taxes and shipping that's $800.
Yeah, unfortunately I'm out on this one.
