I just had a question about the compatibility of the Dynamite Kid uncensored figure and Mattel Elite. I’m just trying to do a simple head swap. I haven’t opened Dynamite Kid yet, but was wanting to put the young Davey Boy head on him. Possibly some bigger arms. Thank you I popped the dynamite head on a spare DBS body and it fits like a glove |

The Hogan-Flair debate always comes down to "Whats your standpoint on wrestling?"....If you want to be "entertained" then its Hogan and not even close. If you want something closer to an "amatuer" style wrestling then you choose Flair. If you're running a company and you want to be a national conglomerate, then its Hogan. If you want to run a more territorial type company around a regional portion of the country, then Id take Flair.
Ill always put Hogan #1 because IMO Hogan did what he did but if he were to be moved into a regional promotion like JCP, Sterling Golden could still be a draw. I dont think Flair could have brought WWF to the level that Hogan did though. While Flair was 2nd to none for a regional champion, he never got to that level that Hogan did once wrestling went national.

California's rate is 7.25%, Tennessee is 7%. You might be paying some of them dang ol' combined rate local taxes.  Yeah.. that’s what it is. There’s an extra 2 point something % tacked on top of sales tax.. for some good reason, I’m sure Definitely not upkeeping these roads 🙄 It offsets us not having a state income tax like most states do. |

DX had their moments but they're not even on the radar compared to The nWo. The only faction I can/would put against the dominance of the 4 Horsemen of the 80s is the nWo of the 90s. Nobody else IMO comes close.

Someone report Hulk Hogans 14 Instagram accounts:( NGL, I voted for Hogan. I realize that Steiner would likely get this made better then Hogan...However thats the least wanted look for Scott Steiner I could think of. I cant even name a time he ever wore a plain white singlet with the star even when trying to google it. The only thing I know of is the toybiz figure which I think everyone is just using for nostalgia for this figure. |

Has anyone found a skin tone paint that matches Sheamus's pasty white ass?

If I misread your earlier comments, my fault. Completely sorry about that. I read the whole “it is what it is” as a sign you may have been looking to give up already. For me, where there is a will there’s a way and I don’t want to see this fail nor do I really want to hear any talk as such. There’s still a lot of time to fix things and there are other ideas I have but I know for a fact they aren’t feasible. You have more power than us in this situation and I know you could do something to help this pass and get more people to back it. I just want to see it happen, and NOT by the way to have a live stream with Sam Roberts (who by the by I’ve heard a few stories about but that isn’t for this thread) and DDP doing the whole “back in my day” old man thing that I’m sure just put more people to sleep than it did getting folks excited to back this thing. One thing that most definitely should be done is to adjust the international shipping and price as reading these comments, a lot of your international crowd feels like they’ve been left out and got the short end of the stick. We’d see an immediate pop with Hogan as a permanent addition, lower tiers, and especially that international price fixed. The international fix alone I’m sure would put us near or over the 5,000 mark. My insta and Twitter is the same as my username here. I’d love to be able to interact more and to try to help if I can. It is what it is is me not getting bent out of shape if this ultimately doesn’t fund. Gotta keep a level head here. I’ve passed on all international comments to the MC team. It’s a bit out of my hands other than following up with the regularly and advising. Hogan added back…yes, it’s better than no Hogan but is that the best solution? I’m just not sure. Adding Hogan in might not "move the needle" but it makes the price tag a lot easier to swallow knowing you're getting at least 2 figures....especially since it was already budgeted into the 5k cost. |

I wouldnt say they werent replaced...They're replacements just hadnt gotten their feet under them yet...
Honky Tonk Man (left Jan 91) (replaced by singles Sgt Slaughter)
Rude (replaced by The Undertaker)
Akeem (replaced by singles Warlord)
Bad News Brown (replaced by singles Barbarian)
Andre (literally anyone that could wrestle a match as a heel would be a replacement cause Andre couldnt move)
The Rougeau Brothers (this is the only one where there wasnt another heel coming in. Beverly Bros didnt show up until '91)
Ax (replaced by Crush)

Man the more and more I simmer on this the more I get buyers remorse..
Look at it like this 2000 of us are early backers. We're SEEING 5 figures and a stage for the money we dropped and we're like "yeah thats awesome deal"...but then tiers start to missing target and soon we very well could be looking at a great stage and a Rey Mysterio figure that really nobody is clamoring for....for the exact same price as we were thinking/hoping we were getting 5 figures for. Its almost like you're getting punished for being an early backer cause you're thinking/hoping for the loot but likely going to get stuck with a stage & a weak Ultimate figure.

doubt he goes into the Coliseum line. There's nobody really to pair him with. Steele is with Piper. It would be dumb to make a lone Bulldog. You *could* go Blue trunks Andre but I dont see that happening really. Why not? A blue trunks Andre with long and short haired heads would be perfect for the CC line, although perhaps pairing him with Studd and the WM 1 money bag would be better than Albano. I do think pairing Albano with Lauper for an SDCC exclusive would be ideal, but if they can't get her under a deal, there's no point in delaying Albano. Could always do him in a different look (maybe from the music video). If memory serves me correct Steve made a comment about putting Andre/BJS in the Coliseum line and having to change the package size because of it. I would assume those two guys would go in together as it would be packages the same size whereas Andre & Albano would be two different sized packages. |

Just got the shipping notification for my dual plated Hogan Winged Eagle, and Bulldogs Tag Titles...can't wait 👍🏻
Not to derail your thread, but got any others from her? I've got: - Lavender Winged Eagle - Light Blue Winged Eagle - Yellow IC - Black IC She's making more? EDIT: I just checked her site, and she is. Looks like the dual-plated winged eagle is already out of stock, shame, I would have purchased one of those - it would go great with a WM5 Savage. I was able to get a set of the silver tag titles. Hopefully we can get a good set of Bret and Anvil from 1986-87, they would go great with them. Shes going to do another run of the Winged Eagle...Just gotta be following her on IG/FB so you can see when exactly shes gonna post cause they go quick. I passed on this one since I had the original winged eagle. Luckily I have all her classic titles (I think)...just wish she or someone would make the IWGP V1 Tag Titles. |

Looking at it now, a stage and 5 figures Im totally ok with dropping $400 bones on it...But seeing as how Hogan is now out and its unlikely we're getting to Warrior, doubtful Steiner and doubtful DDP...Im paying $400 for a stage and a Rey Mysterio figure I could really care less if I had or not....Honestly whenever the end of the funding comes around if the bang isnt there for my buck, Im likely cancelling and backing out.
