This thread took a massive turn for the better.
The face turn I didn’t see coming from Matt. People disagreeing respectfully, podcasts to follow.
Bravo wfigs, no sarcasm at all. This is pretty interesting.

Re release anything that has demand. I don’t care one bit. I’ve got almost every figure I ever wanted now and would never begrudge someone else getting it for the “value” of my collection.

I’d take a 90/91 and a high energy personally.

Also confirmed on the pod was that Cardona read through this thread and spoke of the overwhelming positivity in here. BUT… He did address a different elephant in the room. So I’ll address this to you, Matt. A good portion of the criticism that is targeted towards the MWFP isn’t without merit. Just as you have taken to your platform to address the bedside manner of others, yours too can use some improvement. That doesn’t give others a green light to vilify you or your affiliated business ventures and friends. But I do encourage you to try and seek out some of the more reasonable criticisms you come across here. Your Facebook group is good for a lot of things but it is also an echo chamber of sorts. Twitter and IG comment sections are a mess. This board is far from perfect but at the very least you have a good sampling of people who are willing to be brutally honest (to a fault). All that being said, you have been doing a lot as of late to redeem yourself (intentional or not) by producing good products with reasonable timetables and prices. That is something that a lot of us appreciate whether we purchase something or not. That is the kind of thing that binds the figure collecting community and makes people happy outside of their phone or computer screens. Pretty fair post. To be fair and just in my opinion, the pod has been great lately and I only really have one annoyance left. That’s when they go to task on lead times and name names but conveniently leave one our every time. Either crucify them all and be fair or leave the issue alone. Not a major complaint (no pun intended) but it does just dent credibility a little each time I hear it.

A new belt is a big break. When we are running low on first time figures, new belts sell. Crazy take.

I have my shelves sorted by years roughly and if for example there are two 1990 warriors I’ll either move one up or down a shelf if there isn’t one above or below, or out one at front and one at back.

Just ones I want for me. Leaving out Steiners as they are just signed and assuming we’ll get a few. Also leaving out guys not signed like Crush and OMG who would be top wants.
Jake - WM7. DDP - Jeans. Shawn - Summerslam 02, Series 02 and nwo. Jimmy Hart - any wrestler jacket look. Sultan.

If it is indeed a two pack then the best candidates would be: 1. Capt Lou and Cyndi 2. Hollywood Hogan & Rodman 3. Lawrence Taylor & Bam Bam 4. Mike Tyson & Stone Cold Agree and would buy all of these.

I’d buy it, but I honestly think something scaled at about 75% without light up functions would be cheap enough to produce and be better than any stage ever released.

Diesel for me as I’ll only rank ones I own.
On a side note I’d like Mattel to revisit the ultimate line and ensure nothing substandard gets out. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to call out stuff like the figures listed here if being charged a premium for them being the “ultimate edition”.
This is from someone who is not picky on my figures normally either.

They just didn’t gauge the issues or overshot the interest from it being shown. There’s no one silver bullet sadly.
- Price point stopped some. - the figure collection came off as you’ll take anything we give you to get the stage when that was proven wrong last crowd fund and a desirable macho needed to be added with an announce table. Could Bischoff with an announce table have fixed this? Maybe. - international issues. - nitro not raw. - the tiers were not exciting. Even having ring skirts last time have added value at a cheap enough price. - lack of ring to match, or the thought of needing another $250 yo finish the set. Then you’ve spent what $650 and still don’t have the commentary area? - lack of advertising early enough.
There’s more, but I just think they missed the mark and lastly overestimated the willingness or ability of wrestling fans to spend big on a niche item.
I backed it early before anyone asks.

Dudley’s, Rhyno, Snuka, Big Show and a few others who we missed iconic looks from.

Everyones gotta start somewhere. Im happy to support mitch or whatever his name is. Look how crap aldis was and lots of folks still got that in some version. As long as they keep improving im down I'm happy to support companies who make a product that I'm prepared to pay money for, especially at £40 a figure.
however companies that release absolute crape straight out the gate, and continue to produce the figure that people have slated with no refinement or amendments, sorry but I'm not buying a crap figure just to "help them out" - it's business. if you sell a product people don't want to buy, you will lose money on it, so it's not in your interest to sell that product if there's no market
there's too many of these companies now, and none of them have learned the lessons of those that went before them - any company now entering the market based on concept art and expecting people to front up their cash to make the prototypes (which you won't see for months) and then saying "This is it, no changes, this is what you're getting!" is not a viable business model. we had it with Chella and we had it with Zombie. no more.
if you're gonna enter the market, make the prototypes, sign off on the "Production" quality figure and THEN release it for your potential customers to make their decisions on - that's how most businesses operate, why should these one man band figure companies expect to be treated any different?
I think this is bang on. I remember years ago calling to cancel setanta sports and they asked why. Told them the feed is rubbish and you keep skipping my teams games, so I’m paying not to watch. They tried fo tell me without subs they couldn’t upgrade their quality so I was doing a disservice to other football fans. Laughed at that attempt. Godfather isn’t offensively bad, but it’s pretty bad if I’m being honest.

Rhyno and no explanation needed haha.
Dudley boyz to be retro looks. Snuka to be barefoot. Hart foundation elites to ultimates to get entrance gear. Many macho man figs same as above. Many Warrior figs same as above. The up coming green Dibiase chase id change to a tights version to have summerslam 92 entrance and ring gear.
