1,667 as of right now. I'm not sure I've ever wanted anything this badly in my life aside from the return of Butterfinger BB's.

What's going to be frustrating beyond belief is that if this thing actually funds at 5000 before the May deadline.....
Knowing that we could have had the added Hogan if folks had just made up their minds TODAY......

It would actually. You can buy the ring right now on Mattel Creations and immediately have a whole arena the moment the stage comes in. ...this stage isn't coming out for a year, whether it was WCW or WWF. By that point the Nitro ring will be out, so your point doesn't make any sense. Not really because my point is the Nitro ring has yet to come out. It could easily be vapor ware. The Attitude Era ring is available right now and as such could more easily sway someone to purchase a stage for it. Like “I got the ring, but it would be much cooler if I had the stage to go with it”. They would be more inclined to support it as it’s an extension of an already existing product rather than one that has yet to be out and could be cancelled in the future. Let me put it to you in more simpler terms. Why would I want to back a game for a PlayStation 6 when it is years away when I could back a game being made for the PlayStation 5 which is already out?

With a 3d printer, some foam board and fabric you could make a Raw stage that would cost you less than $100. Thank me later. The Nitro stage however, is more intricate and has more nooks and crannies. If it were simple to recreate, I wouldn't have backed this.

Knowing that we could have had the added Hogan if folks had just made up their minds TODAY...... I backed simply because the ring is coming out and I don’t want to miss out on the stage. If I get the extra figures, great but if not, I don’t want to miss getting the stage. I’ll figure out the size stuff later.

We get a Hogan for everyone if it reaches 5k by the end of tomorrow. Mattel should of just gave out the Hogan for those who backed it by tomorrow. FOMO

I’ll have to say, this board use to be WAY more fun. Seem like just a TON of negativity across the board here now. It’s like people WANT to see this fail for some strange reason i think in this instance it's actually more that there's a lot of very valid reasons that this isn't selling as well as anyone hoped, a lot of this negativity is BECAUSE we want it to succeed but they made it almost impossible for a lot of intl fans to fund. This is a dream item to me but almost $700CDN they are asking. I still keep checking it everyday because i want it to succeed.

You think because they used the same body mold and he’s wearing yellow tights in both that they are the same figure? News flash, he wore yellow trunks and red knee pads for like 15 years straight. There can be different figures made of him in that span of time and these are different. How different did you think they’d be? Did you think he’d be wearing purple shorts with brown kick pads? I love when people prove my point exactly. The figures are 90% identical minus accessories that are easily found elsewhere, thank you for agreeing. The head and accessories account for way more than 10% I can point to 3 elites Seth Rollins figures where all that’s different is the paint deco of the tights. You think those figures are 90% different? Then you know nothing about figures.

FOMO I agree, I've read posts by people (on social media) that are "waiting" to see what figures come with it. I just shake my head in disbelief, we need all the backers we can get TO GET the the figures. Hogan should have just gone to the first 5000 backers. It would have lit a fire under people if they wanted the rare figure and WCW Hogan would have been 1/5000 (making it extra "special" since so many on here are saying that it's not).

They really should have cut it off. For whatever reason Mattel doesn’t seem to be too interested in limited figures. I think that would have helped it.

The stage is a work of art, quite honestly. Nothing like it will be offered again.

Tomorrow should be interesting to follow along
Would be a good time to stop scamming the international buyers really.

Then the issue would be that there weren't enough Hogan's and people are scalping. The same thing happened with the Amazon Hogan. When supply starts to dry people start to desire these figures, but when they're available no one cares.

I'm expecting a big jump tomorrow assuming Ringside haven't placed their order yet like they did with the New Gen arena - I'm sure they'll want the Hogan secured, especially with the other targets looking hopeless.
That jump might cause some momentum to build.
Of course that's assuming Ringside haven't backed it yet, or indeed that they made enough from the New Gen resale to think this one will be worth it at the price being asked, especially without the other targets.

Kind of mental he won’t just concede that you can achieve Hogan’s WCW look with that ultimate and a custom made shirt. Serious question: Is there any good tailor for shorts in this scale? Better not tell me as I’d probably buy too many. 😆 I make shirts for figures. It's actually pretty fun! I do it as a hobby though right now. I may be persuaded to make some fore sale. :-)

I guess we'll find out tomorrow who knows more, cause clearly as it stands it's not different enough to drive interest in to the project and it doesn't look like it will even be made.

I'll be sad if this doesn't get made but I'm happy I'll still be able to grab a Nitro ring. Maybe they'll learn not to put out half assed figures with boring gears nobody wanted.. I think this stage would have done much better if they gave us a Announcers like Bobby Heenen with a Side stage Nitro booth/table. Hell even a WCW Ref would have better than these figures... This. I’ve been saying since the beginning had they given us 5 figures we’d actually want, rather than 4 that nobody asked for, this thing would have backed. The fact they didn’t even make Steiner the early-bird figure is even more baffling. First 5k - Exclusive Scott Steiner DDP in jeans Nitro-debut Scott Hall All-red Kevin Nash Starrcade 1997 Hollywood Hogan Throw this lineup out there and this backs.

Did Ringside ever put their New Gen sets up for sale?

That stage isn’t worth a $400 price tag… that stage with Hogan and Mysterio isn’t worth a $400 price tag… Hell, that stage with Hogan, Mysterio and DDP isn’t worth a $400 price tag (debatable). Now, Steiner added to it? We’re looking at it possibly being worth $400. I’d be pissed if I backed it, only to get the stage and Hogan/Mysterio in the end. I’m not putting a down payment on something and not knowing if I’ll be getting everything or not.
