Not sure there will be another but all I want is stages and interview sets

Honestly I have no idea where they go for the next one. I don't know if people really want scale stages for the size and price they'll ask. Something a bit smaller like an interview set would be cool. I'd be interested in something like the Funeral Parlor or Piper's Pit.

I'm a bit jealous about how well the Joe funds have gone. Those things took off like rockets. I'm interested in how the current Giant-Man figure pans out. Lower price-point and not overly desired or needed tiers.

There may not be any more, but if they did another one they’d probably do their own poll. I don’t know what they could do now that would get me to back something else. Definitely NOT the Raw Or Smackdown stage. It would have to be kind of a mixed bag from the 80’s.


These are the only things that I’d want at this point:


Ultimate Blue Cage (not enough for a crowd funder, lots of stuff would have to be added i.e. Bundy, Hogan, Orndorff, Bossman, maybe Bret from Summerslam 93, but we’re almost certainly stuck with another ring if they go this route)


Ultimate Interview set with interchangeable modules (Piper’s Pit (with Piper; bonus points if they can get the panther shirt. Ideally Snuka would be in there, but that’s never happening), Brother Love Show(with Ultimate, non-suck ass Brother Love and maybe Ultimate Earthquake from when he squashed Hogan), Barber Shop (with Beefcake, Shawn, and Marty if they can get him under contract again, and of course smash through window), Funeral Parlor (with Bearer and maybe Flair in green), Snake Pit with Jake and maybe Honky Tonk Man from when he smashed him with the real guitar), Event Center backdrop with Sean Mooney, Okerlund, Lord Alfred Hayes, or any combination thereof. Early bird special could be an Ultimate Commentary Set with Ventura, Monsoon, and maybe Bruno in the yellow jacket.

Ultimate backstage setup would be cool too, just not sure what the market for any of this would be. Therefore I probably wouldn’t go again.

I hope we get nothing. It's just too stressful altogether. From the first crowdfund to the second, what we've learned is that wrestling collectors don't want to shell out $250+ for these sets. We had to literally grind and convince others for the New Gen set, plus Mattel adding the early bird tiers. It's strange though because you'll have collectors shell out this kind of money on customs and secondary market prices for figures. In the end, you'll have collectors say they don't have space for said items, plead and ask for the items (then disappear when they're being made or backtrack), say it's too expensive, it's not worth the value, it needs more figures, having unrealistic expectations for items that we'll never get (like oversized vehicles and figure sets that Steve said is not for crowdfunding). I participated in both crowdfunds and it sucks to be close to getting what you want and then nothing, but then again they're not guaranteed. I think after the last thread, I'd be happy with nothing. We don't get the illusion of cool items that won't exist. We could save the time and energy elsewhere.

I really want the Raw is War, Nitro and Smackdown fist stage. I’d also be down for an Elimination Chamber and Hell in a Cell.

A popular running gag here is about certain members bullying MDT off the boards (though that wasn't the case at all). But yet the Nitro thread here and abroad was nauseating because of the behaviors you mentioned. Mattel is far from perfect but I wouldn't blame them for not trying to produce special items if all they're met with is consternation and armchair QB's that contribute to an overall negative view of an otherwise awesome project.
