Just buy one of the other 2 similar UE Hogans already made or make it better with UE or Elite NWO Hogan, Hogan and Watrior are the least wanted figures from the set that no one really asked for

It was never gonna be 300 bucks. If they only sold 5000 at 300 a pop they probably would only be making pennies in profit. This is Mattel. THE toy company in the world. There’s no reason they need to do crowd funding. They could have produced this entrance stage as an exclusive online release and still made money. yet they have constantly stated no store will buy it which is why Mattel Creations was made

On one hand I feel bad for Steve and Bill and everyone who worked really hard on this.
On the other hand, I feel like they deserve to learn from their colossal miscalculation. Maybe I’m wrong but there have been a lot of voices saying Mattel is trying to take advantage of the customers/collectors…and I can honestly see how some would feel that way.

Mattel called our bluff, back when they showed this stage at SDCC so many people were enamored with it and demanded it be made. That Mattel made it. Now we have a chance to own this amazing stage. You have a chance to put up or shut up y'all shut up way to quick. For everyone who bought the stage thank you. For everyone one on the fence just do it it likely won't get funded at this rate and if you don't now we likely won't get Hogan by the time you make up your mind. And if you have no plans. No need to explain yourself. Just know you're missing out and I consider you rethink it. Tell Hogan to STICK IT BROTHER.

Na na na na - na na na na - hey hey hey - goodbyyyyeeee (Seriously just have a custom shirt made and you basically have this mid-ass figure.) Except that it has a new head scan and a new belt Hence the word “basically”.

As much as I believe price point plays a role, I really believe it comes down to the figures that were selected. I would love to see this get backed, just to see what comes from the Raw crowd fund.

I miss Wfigs circa 2010....this use to be such a cool place. It wasnt all that bad was it I miss thedean170, that guy had the best decals on the market. The fixup section was always thriving with people uploading stuff talking about parts etc. I think I miss the RA era where people were making customs left and right. I even remember a guy named Nelly... Holy shoot, I also remember being part of the beginning of the animation era... I had a lot of friends in that section and YouTube. What a time...

Just remember everyone, if it doesn't get funded, Mattel isn't to blame. We are. I would back it tomorrow if they allowed international customers a pay in 4 option but they didn’t and I along with many others can’t come up with $700 that quickly, so Mattel does shoulder some blame

I’ve officially backed it. I really don’t have much use for the stage, so why the hell did I support it? 1) I was lucky enough to see the stage in person (at mania superstore), it’s massive and quite frankly worth every cent of $400. (So that’s really enough of a reason, but more below) 2) I want the figures, all of them, especially Warrior - so I tend to put my money where my mouth is. Hell I’ll never own the 1 of 20 Classic Superstars, this Warrior is the next best thing, maybe better And much (MUCH) cheaper. 3) Let’s say it only just makes 5k at the end, no Hogan, no tiers… Just Rey and the stage. That makes this Rey either the 2nd, 3rd or 4th rarest Ultimate edition figure made. We know for sure (confirmed by Steve) that Black card Sgt is less than 1k (rarest), let’s assume the blue card Sgt is next, perhaps, maybe SDCC Hogan/Zeus is less the 5k, so that would make Rey 4th (at absolute worse). If more back it, and Rey becomes “less rare”, then I get more and more figures. Winning!!!!
So worst case, I’ll have the best wrestling stage ever created (by a mile) and the 4th rarest Ultimate figure purchased at retail pricing.
For me, this is a no brainer, I just hope 10,999 others think the same cause I really really want that Warrior - lol.

There was a lot more to customize then. We could slap a jakks head on a figure and blow peoples minds lol.. Nearly everyones been made by mattel now

Also, I think another option for my international brothers and sisters might be to order it to a US address or forwarding service, but then I'm not too familiar with what you do next. I know for instance, Ebay let's you order and they'll receive it at their warehouse and then redirect it to a forwarding company.

Lol @ “If this fails it’s our fault, not Mattel’s”. The POS figure selections is 100% why this thing isn’t already funded!

The POS figure selections is 100% why this thing isn’t already funded! they could have replaced Hogan and Warrior with exclusive figures which was one of the cool parts of the New Gen Arena, Scott Hall and Nash would have worked, Billy Kidman and Lance Storm would have worked, I just feel these weren't the best choices, I'm on board with Rey, DDP and Steiner

“They should have included people they can’t make!” still there has to be a list of people besides the ones we've already seen 5 times that would have been better, why would people want a Warrior representing what is considered one of the worst storylines of all time
