They do great work and I appreciate the figures they get us. Parts of Mattel’s offerings leave stuff to be desired but I never get why they get abuse or even just questions posed rudely. For all we know it’s got nothing to do with the person the nastiness is directed at. Polite questions yes, snarky ones no.
Anyway back on topic. Thanks for an amazing collection and I hope you guys keep it going for years to come and get to make all the people we and you probably clamor for.

Think swapping them two refs heads could see the blue shirt one pass for a young Shane or Joey Marella when used as a backdrop to figure photography.
No idea who makes these, just found the pics on Twitter but I want them.

People did not want a ring -- and not at that price. Since the beginning, collectors have been saying they wanted entrance stages. If this had been a great $250 entrance playset -- it would have sold. I hope in the future, Action Figure Attack can be honest about what happened and mistakes made -- but I think this will sadly be the first and last crowdfunding project for WWE Mattel Very true. I have 3 wct rings and one jakks one that I’ve acquired by needing to buy them with certain play sets. What I want is entrance stages to go with them, crowds, mats, barricades, commentators etc.

Haha, I had a stack of cash ready to order SDCC stuff this week. So far only NECA has my money. Mattel is a sh** show at the moment. Same. Ordered nothing. Held off on any eBay purchases, had a bonus from work burning a hole on my pocket and sold some stuff online ready. Not one dollar spent.

I think the only way this changes is if enough people band together and say how much we don’t enjoy this system.
It’s the only way to counter act the influencers talking about how great it is to sell out in 8 seconds and how that’s great for collecting.
Now watch some guy come in with “I got all of those, don’t seen an issue” start an argument and get the thread locked.

Glad I’m not the only one who felt that way about the value. A first time figure would blind me to the cost a little, but this isn’t good value. Was anyone clamoring for another diesel? Or doink? This guy was 108% clamoring for another Doink. But I understand your point. In my opinion, this would have been a slam dunk if they were able to debut a UE New Generation Jeff Jarrett. A highly-anticipated figure that perfectly fits the theme. In an ideal world, they roll out the Jarrett everybody has been clamoring for and down the road he gets a few other releases so fans who can't justify the cost of the ring at least are able to obtain a version for their collections. Everybody is happy. However, the issue with attaching a shiny new name to this kind of playset is that it probably would have pissed off a good portion of the fanbase. Wrestling figure collectors are a different breed and they would look at it as a manipulative power play. A leverage move on the part of Mattel where they are FORCED to buy an expensive set just for one figure that they have been waiting on forever. How dare they?! People were livid about the last ring that contained an exclusive Goldberg which was nowhere near as expensive as this one. It is a slippery slope. You make a good point. Even a Dink to go with Doink tho could have been something worth getting.

The taker is the one we’ve all been waiting on. I’ll definitely get it, but I’d love them to fix the heads. It needs a teardrop IMO and yeah to look a bit younger.
Kane is dope, but with HoC and early elite it’s tough to get a 3rd. Plus I have taker as Kane too. On the fence.

Hugely interested in how this arena goes.
My head tells me I have a decent enough neon arena made for me that also has the little podiums in front that this is missing. I also have an accurate ring skirt and 3 diesel figures.
Yet I don’t want this to fail. For me to drop what would be about $500 Australian though is a big ask.

Bummer the April doesn’t have a human head. She’s my main need for the cartoon line.

Totally on the fence on this one.
Would probably have been more inclined to buy with a better figure choice. Don’t need a 4th diesel at all. Announcer Vince it any ftitl new gen figure could have got me. For now it’s a maybe.

Does anyone from WWE reply to message boards? Do managers of many companies have to be active online to answer questions? This strange idea that it’s a corporate responsibility and not a hobby being on this board has come out of nowhere.
Don’t drive Steve off the way you did Bill.
Be polite.

Based on other WWE products (2K Battlegrounds, WWE Champions app, WWE Universe app, WWE SuperCard) these are all eligible "First Time in the Line" talent that would appear to be available to license - "High Chief" Peter Maivia Snoop Dogg The Gobbledy Gooker "Chief" Jay Strongbow Haku Koko B. Ware Mr. Fuji Haku, Fuji and Koko are 3 big wants. Gooker I’d like. The others would be passed probably.

Wouldn’t have bought modern day figures.
Would have bought a lot more doubles of legends.

Even though I’m not buying the line, he’s signing great names.
