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. I think the early backer gift should be for those who back it early only. That's why Macho Man worked because people didn't want to miss out so those early backers jumped in. The Hulk figure was back it early and if we get to 5,000 everyone gets it - if not - all that backed early will not get it. Just a different method of operation that they can re-examine to get even better in the future. It is not easy what they do but I so appreciate their creativity in doing what it takes within reason to make it so.

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. Exactly what I said - behavioural science. People will be conditioned to expect more, better etc. Can’t guarantee it but it’s what I’d expect to see people say / do

I've only been tangentially following this thread as I'm not backing this crowdfund, but one thing that's 100% in line with the New Gen Arena is that some people seem to have no conception of what large scale playlet items go for at retail in 2023. Something the size of the Nitro stage is easily a $350-$400 item at retail right now. Now, does that mean it's "worth it" to everyone personally? No. But in the reality of discussion retail, that is how much it would cost. And elites (as well as Hasbros LC, BS and ML lines) pushing 25 dollars has a lot of collectors cutting back their spending and picking and choosing more. My point is that just because 400 dollars is what it be at retail NOW does not mean people would be buying it. Inflation is a very real issue and handwaving it as just how things are now doesn't negate the damage Its doing and the effect it has on the consumer's ability/willingness to spend. I'm not "handwaving" it away. Hell, cost is part of the reason I'm not backing it, and I think there's a legitimate discussion to be had about how much is too much for an item in this space. But, tat doesn't change the fact that the stage is likely "worth" the cost in the abstract just based on what an item like that seems for in stores.

So what a whirlwind last 12 hours or so. I am hoping for 2 things.
1. They announce that Steiner is part of the base offering. Then everything moves down a notch, adding Hogan at the very end at 11K. 2. They also announce a new end date of May 21.
Basically a 'fresh start' to this whole thing..

Or offer Steiner and never do another crowdfund campaign again. Exactly what I said - behavioural science. People will be conditioned to expect more, better etc. Can’t guarantee it but it’s what I’d expect to see people say / do I think they can easily combat this. For their next crowdfund, have an ace in the back pocket and don’t announce it. Hold that announcement for in case the crowdfund needs an extra “push” to get over the hump. If it does, show it when necessary and if not, it can be a “thanks for all who have funded the project so far, as a reward for this being such a massive success we will be adding into the already back campaign this figure”. it’s a good look on them if it funds without the announcement of an addition. If not, they’ve got that card in their back pocket to sweeten the deal a bit more.

Is Mattel Creations locked for anyone else. I tried getting on to see how the crowd funder is doing, but the site is locked out. Could it mean something?

Hopefully they’re fixing the price 😂

While we are waiting on updates, anyone interested in a Disciple figure down the line? Would he have worked for anyone as one of the tiers?
Took me the longest time to realize The Disciple was Beefcake when I was younger. His figure could pad out the nWo lineup and as far as I know he still has a Legends deal.

Good BAF candidate for MNW line

I would love a Disciple figure! I agree with Warriah' that it would work great as a BAF.

As an UE in this set or MNW? Hell no. As an elite in MNW, Legends, or regular Elite line? Definitely.
