It's awesome, but where am I gonna put that thing?!
Also, saying the Nitro ring has to be successful for this to be produced is kind of a dirty tactic imo.

And herein lies the other issue I foresaw lol. I'm trying to justify the WCW setup because of the fact that WCW figures was how I was introduced to wrestling when I was four years old. *BUT* as a much bigger WWE/F fan than I am of WCW, how am I going to get the WCW entrance/ring and not have Monday Night Raw? I may be the only one who's this neurotic, but when I see this I don't feel like I'm deciding between one or the other, I feel like I'm deciding between both or neither.

Awesome but at this rate you need a whole room in a house to display these things. It's too much at least for me. Kick the kid's out then lol. |

Holding something ransom when it should've came first. Nice ๐ They wanted to get the better show/stage out of the way first before tackling the boring one ๐คฃ |

I feel like I'm deciding between both or neither. And that is exactly what they are doing. On a business level it is smart thinking - if they did the Raw stage first, then the Nitro stage, the Raw would succeed and the Nitro would most likely fail. Tying the Raw stage to the Nitro stage, 'should' help the Nitro stage get funded, and then I would suspect the Raw stage would be just as successful. So yes, this is exactly what we are choosing. Both or neither. |

Mattel are the ones who blundered the execution of these two crowdfunds. |

I donโt think thereโs been any confirmation on this. Just speculation. It seems likely but they could always go in another direction. If Nitro limps to 5K and barely gets funded, they may not want to go in that direction again next time.

Just whoever posted the original photo that showed the Raw stage said "If the Nitro stage gets funded this is what we'll get next" or something along those lines. |

If Nitro fails then itโll a long time before we see another crowdfunded item.

I know a few struggled but have any been missed then done a further campaign? I am pretty sure Marvel Legends have another crowdfunding project in the works after Ghost Rider failed. I think Star Wars did a lightsaber after Rancorโs failure which also failed. I canโt think of any Mattel Creations failures. Eternia and New Gen are the only projects I can think of there and both funded. I remember a Pixar Cars garage a while back and donโt think that funded but that wasnโt on creations. |

I think Iโm right in saying they had a few successful ones before they had a miss? I really hope this gets funded both do they donโt lose hope and also for the people who want it. I hope crowdfunding doesnโt die a death if this is a miss. |

Marvel had Sentinel and Galactus and maybe others as well that were funded. |

Yeah I happen to live in an old Amazon warehouse facility so I have plenty of room for this to go next to my 8 ft. x 6 ft. WCW Nitro stage.

If this is true..
Now is the time for all the big boys who said they werenโt broke and the Raw stage was a better option..
Step your game up. Nowโs your time to shine!

Hard pass. Good for those who want it, but 35 years of collecting doesn't leave room for this sort of thing.
If I was to back this, it would have to come with figures I couldn't possibly turn down, like an Ultimate Edition Legion of Doom. Even then, I'd have to sell the stage.
