The belt will get released eventually and just head swap with just about any other Hogan released after the Amazon Hogan. It is a different head scan than any previously released scan. And we don’t know if the belt will ever get released… so nah. It’s as different of a figure as they ever normally release. This is cope, they will absolutely release that WCW title. They've done just about every other WCW title, why would they stop with that and head scans don't equal a new figure lmao, even if it were you could use the upcoming Legends Hogan scan and get the same effect.

Hence the word “basically”. That isn’t basically the same figure. How much do you expect to change on a figure. There is no ultimate hogan that even remotely resembles this figure. You’re not making any sense. My point is his WCW look can easily be achieved using already released Hogans and a custom t-shirt. Is it the EXACT same figure? No. But it is very same-y.

I'm gonna start going door to door soon. Try to get the word out with some fliers around town maybe? Anything to spread the good word of Mattel Creations. Heh. That's cute. I've been camped out at a four way intersection where our local Target and Wal-Mart are located with a bullhorn and homemade signs in an effort to reach the throngs of Mattel WWE Ultimate Edition WWE Action Figures by Mattel collectors coming out on their daily/hourly fig hunts and spread the Gospel (Book of Steve), preaching the word about the importance of unity, togetherness, strength in numbers, and how much of a scrub everyone will look like if we don't get this by the time the Mattel WCW Ultimate Edition WCW Monday Nitro Ultimate Edition Ring Featuring the WCW Ultimate Edition Eric Bischoff Action Figure by Mattel comes out in our close knit figure community that's really more of a family.

They really just need to make the Hogan available regardless of when it hits 5K

They will likely release the WCW title, but when? They did the 91 belt once and never again. It’s been several years with opportunities to get it back out (Luger, Sting, Vader, Flair) and they have yet to do so. I have no doubt it’ll get made eventually but it could be years before they do so.

Just so we are all on the same page, it is being argued that these two figures are different and could not be interchanged for one another.

Given they are doing a whole MNW line and seemingly planning on pushing that theme a lot, I'd be willing to bet it wouldn't take us long. Infact I wouldn't be shocked if we got it before the stage even shipped (if it does).

You are right, I'm not doing enough 😥. I'm gonna pull out the phone book and just start going down the list starting with A, I'm not sure I'll be able to get to Z before the Hogan deadline is up but dammit I'm gonna try cause if this fails it's OUR faults and I can't just sit on my hands any longer.

Clearly, the difference lies within the fact that one is a real American, who fights for the rights of every man, whereas the other is American made, with the red, white, and blue running through his veins.

They’re nowhere near the same and are completely different figures! I mean look, the one on the right has a tan that is 1 shade darker! Doesn’t get any more different than that. /s

Infact I wouldn't be shocked if we got it before the stage even shipped (if it does). IDK. Given that it doesn’t launch til 2024, we’re only getting 10 WCW elites per year, 2 of which we know are Hogan and Luger that won’t be coming with it, and guys like Goldberg and Flair may no longer be available, and Sting and Giant aren’t for sure, Macho rarely comes with belts since his attire consumes most of the budget, it doesn’t leave a lot of spots for it to be made right away.

If you took those out of the picture, I could't have told them apart.

Entrance stage plus bischoff-5k Early bird include the hogan Tier 2: torrie Wilson Tier 3: Steiner Tier 4: Ddp Tier 5 warrior Tier 6: announce table Later in the year sell the ring with exclusive Heenan announcer. I was really hoping it would come with the announce stage instead. I'd prefer that over most of these figures.

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. Obviously not because it must sell a minimum of 5000 units at 400 bucks each in order to make what they consider an acceptable profit margin Take out some of the unwanted figures to adjust the price down and make it a Ringside exclusive. It would sell. Yes, it’s a business, but what profit margin is Mattel looking for? This is mostly plastic. For all we know, the stage might not cost them much to produce at all.

Has anyone talked about the timing of this compared to New Gen Arena crowd fund timing? That one I feel like was in the summer and was kind of a lull in collecting. Running it at wrestlemania with other pre-sales and a never ending list of releases feels like too much money and too much to focus on at one time. I feel it makes a difference the timing.

The only figure included in the price is Rey, all others are bonuses

The last one was around Comic-Con I believe and the Afghan ent was made that was too busy a time
