Steiner and Warrior would probably be the only ones I would pick up at regular retail price

blame the Stinger for that one An Ultimate Ultimate Warrior line. I'm in. I mean...he absolutely wore enough different attires, and carried enough different colored straps to do it if you wanted š¤·š»āāļøš Steiner and Warrior would probably be the only ones I would pick up at regular retail price I'd probably pick them all up except for Rey...the Hogan does have a new head scan and that nice new belt |

The only figure I want from this is the DDP.

That's probably why they did it this way. They figured that the stage itself would be interesting enough to get 5K backers that it wouldn't matter what figure they put at that tier. Seeing how Warrior and Steiner are the two most popular figures in the set by far, they were probably hoping that those two figures alone would drive this thing to 11K. Having Steiner as the early backer figure and Warrior as the initial figure, or vice versa, and Hogan and Rey at the last two tiers, they probably figured it would never even get close to 9K or 11K. I understand this logic... buuuuut with the price increase over the New Gen set - and the sheer size of the stage - wouldn't it have been better to front-load it (with Steiner and Warrior) to make sure it actually gets made? Maybe. |

Probably Rey slightly ahead of Hogan and DDP, then Steiner, then finally Warrior. Big fan of this Rey color scheme itās so slick

None really, but I voted Warrior. These were just terrible attire choices. That DDP has been done at least twice already and I don't care that they're ultimates. Really should have been 6 figures, 3 WCW & 3 NWO or something where the characters chosen had memorable matches together. A Macho to go with a DDP, Eddie with Rey. NWO Hogan and Warrior would have made a lot more sense to me. They obviously thought the Stage was going to be enough of a selling point and cheaped out on the figures. Someone really fumbled the ball. I think it will get 5k by May, but that's about it.

That DDP has been done at least twice already and I don't care that they're ultimates. Same. I already have those 2 figures, and to top it off, the next DDP coming to retail is a remake of the one they did last year. It's like, hey DDP had more than 2 looks, guys. C'mon. Frustrating. |

The only two I would buy at retail would be Steiner & Hogan.
But Steiner is #1 here for me

One thing about these crowdfund that, as a collector who buys all flashbacks releases, is off putting is them stating they wonāt be making these outside of the crowdfund (and sometimes using the verbiage of āas ultimatesā)
Iām okay if these come out as standard elites as, I donāt see the stage funding even by the end of the campaign and I certainly donāt see DDP,Steiner, or Warrior being made. Weāve already all but lost Hogan. Itās just frustrating being told that we wonāt get these figures when Iām sure people would buy them individually as mattel creations made to order figures and/or legends elite releases.
I just donāt think 11k backers of this nitro stage was ever feasible no matter who was in tier 1 or the early bird backer at $400 a pop. And thatās coming from someone who has backed 4 of them already.

I got a vibe from Kyle Peterson that there's a good chance Warrior ends up being an Elite...which is cool for me, but there will definitely always be some sting knowing we could have had them as ultimates |

I was actually excited about a big gold belt without the wwe logo with the Hogan more than getting Hogan as an early bird bonus.
Steiner will get made either way, no way they donāt do BPP while he is under contract.

Scott Steiner for me but I'm patient and know Scotty will be released in the elite line or Ultimate line before the crowdfund version gets to hands.
