I wonder what Mattel was thinking as well. Why not do the raw stage first? I believe that would be more successful. Either way, I believe the numbers will go through the roof near the end like last years crowdfund. To Steiner levels? Maybe. I hope so cause that'll be an order for me.

I would of had Rey or Hogan plug it. Especially, at Hogan's beach shop. Kind of odd, I also didn't care for this Warrior, but now I really want it. It's sort of a one off look. I want to create a WCW battle royal, so now I might have to sell off my Wicked Cool toys ring. Does that thing go for anything?

I really want the early bird Hogan to justify in my mind the price on this. If they don't reach 5,000 by the early bird Hogan due date, I may seriously consider cancelling my order.

I'm happy I'm missing out and I won't rethink it just because some scrub online told me to.

I know they have been busy with WrestleMania week and have their jobs and personal lives but I am surprised they havenβt scheduled appearances on podcasts over the next couple days trying to push this to 5K before the end of Friday. Exactly this! There could be a LOT more marketing push on it! Same thing happened with the New Gen arena. Didn't seem like Mattel didn't want to promote it much until it looked really dire. Mostly radio silence while the project was getting 1-2 new backers a day and it looked doom. Then it was up to a Major Wrestling Figures Zoom telling me I should get rid of my collection if I don't buy 2 of them. AND IT WORKED!!

Of everything, I wanted Hogan the most.

Man, if only there was some sort of event, like a big weekend of nothing but wrestling, where 3/5 talent were so they could've made some kind of promotional material for this set. And if only that event happened to be held in a city literally ran off of production and promotion. Then this thing really could've gotten off the ground.

I'm funding this tonight. I didn't care for Hogan originally, but I figured if I'm going in might as well. Wish Mattel gave the Hogan to the first 5k instead. Regardless, we'll see what happens. I funded also. Now I wish they did that too. Just the first 5k thats it. I think that would have made a lot more people jump on early. We still have 2 days after today. Although, they do have it in their budget for 5k sold with both hogan and Rey. For some reason if they need a final push come April 30 they may just go ahead and offer up Hogan again to get to the finish line. who knows?

I really want to back this but yet ANOTHER boring Hogan and Rey isn't going to entice myself and many others. Mattel should really pivot and replace those two with Steiner and DDP. Honestly feel you would get 0 out of the 1500 that already bought in complain. actionfigureattack make this happen

Steve and Rob were pushing the New Gen hard right up to the last minute. They were doing a podcast a day. Steve did a couple live streams on IG.

Iβd love to have this, but not with 5 figures where I donβt care for three of them (if we donβt get Hogan itβs even less bang for your buck). Make this $300 tops, with Steiner at 5K and DDP in jeans at 7k and I think this would have funded already. Adding in $100 worth of figures not many are asking for is killing this (in addition to the fees international collectors are being forced to pay).

I think it would of created FOMO and also made the Hogan more special. I do appreciate that they at least tried to include Hogan for everyone if they got 5k within the time period. I think they should of extended the time.

So do we just get our money back if the stage doesn't get funded immediately?? Or do they hold a charge in your account?

Let's me honest, they have spent a good amount of money already to get this thing together. They do want to see it get funded.

For $400, youβd think theyβd have Atleast given Steiner the correct boots.

Is that a quote from the movie Tombstone?
