I have to wonder if they had gone a different route if this would have just not been way easier.
9K units is not a lot. It’d be one of the lowest production runs for ultimates overall.
If they had produced 9k units of the stage, Rey, Warrior, DDP and Steiner and sold for $400, would that not be a relatively easy sell?
More people would buy as they’re guaranteed the 4 figs and the stage. You’d also factor in FOMO because only 9K will ever exist.
People would buy multiples because it’d be easier to scalp too.

I said in an earlier post, include all five figure's in with the stage at 5k backers, more for your money.

The numbers of backers required for the bonus figs aren’t arbitrary. But they could just produce 9k with the 4 figs and sell them like that.

I see people talking about if they add another figure it would reach the goal, my honest opinion is even if DDP was added with Rey and Steiner it would look the same, maybe a little different if you added warrior but not a whole lot
The issue I see here is lack of a limited release figure, making hogan a early bird was fine, but making it available To ALL backers was the issue, no rarity, makes it no more rare than any of the other figures, Mattel thought they fixed a problem by making it available to all backers, not at all, that just made things worse
For example, I backed the new gen on the last day that macho was available like most, if macho wasn’t limited I would have backed it the last day of the fund cutoff, or maybe even not at all, the rarity of macho man pushed me to do it and do it quicker, I’m over macho man figures and have been for a while, it was all because of how rare this figure might be on day and as a collector I didn’t want to miss out
If I was to think of a way to get this thing for sure to the 5k mark, Steiner would have probably been my early bird figure for about 3 weeks and then cut it off, making the figure extremely rare and getting this thing backed and then some.

May 6th whether or not it gets funded or not, the servers will shut down by the amount of arguments that will take place on this thread lol The forum should just shut down in general if it doesn't get made. We would be complete failures and truthfully Mattel should just drop the license because we can't call ourselves collectors if that happens.

I think FOMO squeaks it to 5k on the final day. No additional tiers unlocked

I think FOMO squeaks it to 5k on the final day. No additional tiers unlocked let’s say we do get to 5K and some change on the final day, it becomes a whole new ballgame at that point. Does Mattel want to ride that momentum and open it back up for a week to push for the extra tiers?

I’m looking forward to seeing where it goes. Shame it’s still a couple weeks aeay

Someone should tell Steve about this discrepancy.
The beginning of the description on the Mattel site states:
Time remaining: 13 Days Ending on May 6, 2023
Then it states:
This crowdfund ends on May 5, so join today to back this realistic collectors’ item.
Finally, at the very end, it reads:
This incredible entrance stage and all unlocked figures will only be made a reality for backers who commit before May 5.
That may be a bit ambiguous.

I have no doubt this will get funded. The scarcity of this piece will live in infamy.

They should make a Ted Turner elite, maybe a two pack with Vince in the Monday Night Wars line. It would warm the shelves so hard

Hope I'm wrong but I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't even get to 4k

It's either because it ends at 00:00 on the 6th or something to do with different timezones.
