On IG Steve’s asked if a figure could be added to the base which would you want so I’d recommend those who want it should vote Very split on this personally Great that they’re trying to pull out possible ad ons to get it funded However should it be successful it’ll be because 2 from 2 had additional stuff added which doesn’t bode well for the future It isn’t additional stuff this time. It’s was always budgeted to launch at $400 with 2 figures. The arbitrary date to get Hulk was mattel trying to get it funded through FOMO. But they misjudged that the figure they chose was desirable (as it was a rerelease) and also that they didn’t apply individual pressure to back. Guessing Hogan would still be offered and maybe moved to the 11k spot. Maybe wrong terminology but it’s still not as originally sold I’ve only followed a few crowdfunders but they’ve not had to be amended mid project. So far both wrestling ones have which isn’t a good luck. Especially if they add a figure with more tooling required than the hulk meaning less profit for mattel higher ups

Some credit card companies won’t even charge you for foreign exchange purchases. Mattel have done absolutely everything wrong where international has been concerned. Like I’ve said. Let me pay my own customs next year. I don’t need to pay that money until it’s ready to be delivered. I’ll back 2. Yep. Plus - at that time, you're so excited to be getting your set delivered soon, you're past caring about the customs charge 😄. Well I’m usually fuming about the added ‘handling fee’ 😂 but I’d rather that than pay the customs over a year in advance!

The first one makes sense because it’s the first. This one they made a lot of mistakes. Fixing the international situation and swapping the tier orders isn’t even as significant as adding a whole new figure like they did last time. In fact I’d suggest that letting backers vote on which tier order should be standard practice.

I don’t disagree with either what your saying or the rationale for the changes you presented But I would say if they do change this one then a firm president will have been set. People are already pointing out to how they’ll have to make changes like they did with the new gen If snd when a 3rd comes out you can bet people will be waiting for the sweeter and pivot, they won’t take into account the nuances and rationale you’ve given it’ll be “the other two were changed / made better do this one will too”. From a behavioural science perspective people see / hear what they want

Maybe. Or maybe people will try and call their bluff? We don’t know until another product is offered but if you condition people to want more, bigger or better then they’ll come accustomed to it. As I say I can see it both as being good and bad.

I voted for Warrior, because if it's Steiner, I might have to back two, since it want it MOC as well. The Ring Fighters Steiner was the first figure I ever owned (along with the rest of the set). He's overwhelmingly in the lead though.

Lol at all the experts here that said it’s absolutely impossible to make any changes!
We’ve suggested moving the figures around because we want this made as much as Mattel does.
So include Steiner and charge international buyers $400 plus shipping and this thing will soar and unlock other tiers.

Quick - someone tell PJ... he might back another 2 or 3 🤭 lol! If only I could. lol The only thing wrong with that pic is he used the GAB ‘90 with the laced boots.

Just tap the name of the one you want and it updates the percentage of each one. Right now Steiner is leading with 71% DDP is at 16% Warrior is at 7% Hogan is at 6%

You know for a fact it's coming with other figures? Steve has not confirmed this. They are about to start and entire line explicitly for the purpose of making WCW (and WWF) figures. It's pure logic that eventually that belt will end up in the line especially given their push in the last year or so to give us new belts (where the ![](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/wfcensored.gif) is my Light- Heavyweight title tho). The WWF light heavyweight belt is long overdue. When Mattel released the elite Dean Malenko some time ago it was the perfect opportunity for that too happen.

I want the Warrior fig the most but objectively Steiner should be the one. Not just because it’s FTITL, but because he’s arguably the most synonymous with WCW guy in the offering, and he’s the only NWO fig on the offer.
Keep DDP at 7k, Warrior at 9k and move Hogan to 11k.

I’d like to see Warrior at 7k and I believe we could hit that if they include Steiner at 5K and if they fix the international issue.

I think the only person left they have access to that would have it is X-Pac. They let Dean, Scotty, Jeff and Christian slip by without giving it to one of them. However if they make an X-factor X-Pac that would be incredibly based.

If this teaches us anything, it’s to never back any of their crowdfunds right away, because they WILL sweeten the pot. They’re 2-2.

Right now Steiner is leading with 71% DDP is at 16% Warrior is at 7% Hogan is at 6% On my instagram account it would not let me tap or vote. On my wife's it let me vote and then shows the percentage. Very odd why mine doesn't work but I assume my phone is not the only one that can't vote. So I sent Steve a message of my vote.

Let this live or die based on what was originally presented, otherwise people will continue to believe they can hold out and get more. Or offer Steiner and never do another crowdfund campaign again.
