Next WWE Mattel Crowdfund vote

None of the above. This community has proven they care primarily about the figs. Theres not a large enough base to support big ticket items. Mattel would be fools to attempt another.

I supported the last two crowdfunding projects because they were Ultimate Editions and I was an Ultimate Editions completist (4 New Gen arenas, 3 Nitro stages).

But now I'm no longer an Ultimate Edition completist due to the introduction of US store exclusives (especially at Walmart which aren't carried anywhere outside the US, or largely within it either it seems), plus the addition of a third figure per series, plus the introduction of chases, etc., - it's just not worth the effort anymore for me to remain "complete".

So I wouldn't be backing ANY further project simply because I am no longer a completist, but taking the question on a less personal level, there's not much I can see that would succeed. The Nitro Stage was brilliant, but the price was too high for a project squarely aimed at the US market. Can they produce something worthwhile for a lower price? The rate of inflation in the US is way down, but inflation is still inflation, so it's difficult to see a Titan Tron or something coming-in for a cheaper price.

The figures always seem to be the main draw, or at least the main topic of conversation with the projects, but we shouldn't need crowdfunds for figures, especially when the problem seems to be WWE Legends contract situation, which a crowdfund can't address at all.

I'd be surprised if they try again.

I think Mattel did a poor job using figures to sell the stage. Several were not that great. Also saying here’s part of the draw for buying this stage (eg DDP or whatever) but you might buy the stage and not get it if 3,000 extra people don’t buy it actually discourages early buying and encourages people to wait around and see how many other people buy it. Not smart.

Anyways other problem is that even though WCW stage most awesome thing they’ve ever offered or maybe ever will offer, $400 is a LOT of money.

But does it need to be crowdfunded? It’s a casket on a table with some flower arrangements. Not really something requiring Mattel to collect all the upfront costs beforehand before going into production.

What are you even talking about? We funded the New Gen and all the tiers. We came very close to getting the WCW arena funded & it would have gotten funded if Mattel would have fixed the international issue and not given us lame figures.

I think it's gonna be at least another year before we see a crowdfund from Mattel.

And including any massive suggestions in the poll is pointless because they won't be offered given how the Nitro crowdfund went.

If anything, their next execution will be smaller scale playsets like the barbershop or Piper's Pit, then they'll slowly (maybe) offer larger sets down the road. Anyone hoping for a Smackdown fist entrance or something like that -- don't hold your breath.

I think a Raw 2003-2005 stage with the lightning bolts would be sick and cost effective.

ECW Entrance doesn’t seem like it needs a crowdfund either even if you include the fencing. They can do something like the RAW letters entrance with that. Bundle it with elites of Paul E and RVD.

Like I said back with the New Generation set was being solicited that the only crowd funding I would back was a WCW Nitro set. And I did but it didn’t so there’s nothing I would spend crowdfunding money on.
