Anyone think that if the warrior here doesn’t get unlocked, we could see it in the returning Defining Moments line exclusive to a ringside? I know it would be an elite, but still the figure is fantastic, in my opinion. That duster is incredible! I think he'd definitely get made in the future... either as an UE, DM or Elite. Same with Hogan. And remember that was supposed to be a pastamania Hogan, which didn't work out but later on I can see them getting it done. So anyone wanting that hogan, I think we'll see it again

If this doesn’t get funded Hogan, Warrior, DDP, and Pump in these exact attires would make a great DM 4 pack.

At what point did he suggest otherwise? He specifically said on the Pod that if you can't afford it, you shouldn't back it. Homie said if this thing doesn't get made we should all stop being collectors. I can afford it, I know Pants can afford it, so what about us who aren't going to back it because we don't think it's worth it? Your money, your decision on how to spend or save it. Once you decide to spend or save the money is where it ends in my mind. Things are only worth what someone is willing to spend for it regardless of the price tag. Suck it up and pay more than you’d like for an item because you want it bad enough and you can’t get it any other way, or keep your money and live with the decision. If I could afford a Lamborghini, I wouldn’t buy one because I don’t think it’s worth the cost based, but if some lucky day I could get one for the price of a Hyundai best believe I would in a blink… but I also wouldn’t complain about the price of a Lamborghini should that magical day never happen. Granted there are other variables to this crowdfunding project that make the choice less straight forward due to how it impacts future projects being made or not. If you can afford to back it and want anything included in the 5000 minimum tier or non of it, but you want the Raw set to be made you should back it. Then either be willing to do the extra leg work of selling off the rest to recoup some of the expense or keep stuff you wouldn’t normally buy because it will result in getting something you do want and wouldn’t be possible otherwise. If you can afford it and only want the higher tier figures and the Raw stage you should back it and also decide to keep the rest or sell items off. If you don’t give a crap about the Raw stage and can afford to back this but don’t want to spend the money despite any level of interest no matter the tier it reaches don’t back it. If you can afford to pay the price up front and don’t want to keep the rest or the hassle of selling the rest to get the figure you want that’s your choice and live with it and keep complaints to yourself. If you are an international buyer same things applies if you can afford it outright, regardless of the overcharges. Up to you to decide what it’s all worth to you monetarily. If you are an international buyer and want it all or just parts of it but can’t manage the full cost outright but fits your budget with a payment plan, complain away cause that sucks and Mattel should do better if they want to be a global company. I believe Klarna started in Sweden, not to mention all the other similar installment based pay apps or whatever you call them. If Mattel isn’t offering because the one offered to Americans doesn’t operate internationally poor form on Mattel for not doing the extra work to contract one that does work anywhere the will ship. If the one available to us is used anywhere else and just isn’t an option that’s even crappier of them. If you can afford the cost that American backers have to pay in full and then pay for the shipping once it’s received from some middle man in America, and customs on delivery per usual you have three weeks to do some leg work on WFigs and send money via something like PayPal that offers some protection if the person doesn’t ship, or go on trust in the reputation of either myself or other members here that have offered to do the extra work of receiving and shipping something to a fellow collector but don’t live with it. If you like any part of something, but not enough to pay the price is part of life when spending money, and everything’s worth is subjective. Bottom line if you can afford it despite the cost but don’t think it’s worth it, and no amount of complaining will get it to a price you find worth paying… so grow up instead of being that kid throwing a tantrum on the floor of the toy aisle.

It could be argued that his WCW/Nitro debut was a defining moment though - especially from his later years.

Now as for the rest of your 50 shades of salt, literally no one has bitched and thrown tantrums harder than supporters of this crowdfund. I've never seen anyone who is critical of it demand people stop participating in discussion, say that people who backed it shouldn't be on the forum, say peoples opinions are invalid because they've backed it, but I've damn sure seen supporters of it say all those things about anyone who disagrees. Hell, just about person who's gotten a ban hammer because of this thread were people who supported it so zealously they attacked people, so miss me with that bullshit.

At the time his nitro debut was pretty massive. It’s only because of the hindsight of how poorly his run went that it retroactively doesn’t seem as significant

I once did a crowdfund for a Hawaiian Restaurant that was originally just a food truck. I petitioned $75 which would get me a tshirt, a beer glass, and a flip flop on their wall with my name on it. On the last day they were at $10k of their $100k goal. I was like oh well I’ll get my $75 bucks back. Next morning they mysteriously reached their goal! Restaurant lasted less than a year and I never got the shirt, glass, or flip flop. There are bailout investors. Mattel most certainly will not want to loose any investor $. This will get backed. Look for retail sales after initial investor shipping. While different companies, the Haslab Star Wars Black Series 6 inch scale Rancor failed, as did the replica lightsaber for Reva from Obi Wan Kenobi, as did the Marvel Legends Ghost Rider muscle car. So it can fail.

My point was if you can afford it and don’t want it there is no obligation to back it for anyone. But if you can afford it and you want any piece that may be available from this backing or the future chances of the Raw stage you need to evaluate what the worth of any parts of those are to you. If you decide none of that is worth it to you but are still finding reasons to complain about how you can buy it but need more out of the deal that’s a decision one also makes with their money but need to leave it at that cause Mattel already said it’s not changing the breakdown again.

Gonna be lucky if this is at 43% before the final day.
One thing people should be baring in mind is that most people who back this are priced out of backing multiple times due to the cost. That even goes for Americans. You could back 3x the New Gen arena for less than it’d cost to back this twice (750 vs 800).
Hell if non US backed two of these it’d be 1250. I could have bought five new gen arenas for that.

I could have bought five new gen arenas for that. The price is ultimately the biggest killer. It's prices out people from buying multiples since its nearly double the price of the new gen even here in the US. For the price of this you could buy 13 UEs or 18 Elites in stores, you could tear up RSC, and that's all just the hobby stuff and not bills, vacations or luxury items like TVs.

Damn after listening to Steve on that second interview he posted today it sounds like the announcers table was going to possibly be included but the price would have made this thing a little higher. Makes me wonder if the fans weren’t so critical of the tiers not being figures if we could of eliminated few of these figs in this crowdfund and got the announcers table 🤔 However, Steve said they don’t necessarily like to throw away ideas so this may be released down the line if situation is right. Another possible incentive to back this thing for sure! Cause if this doesn’t get backed I wouldn’t see them going out there way to offer the table in future releases.
