I finally received my King Haku figure! Only took 14 months to get him! Lol. I can top that! Just recieved ETHAN PAGE!!
Ordered March 26 2022 Thats round about 18 Months!! This should be an alltime Retro Pre-Order Record!!
If nobody can beat that i will call Guinness Book of Records to sign me. ;-) P.S. the figure is cool
Weird, I'm guessing it's the variant Page, not the first one. Anyway I received my variant Page from Chella (!) over a year ago! |

It would be nice to hear some of the behind the scenes stories of some of the signings from either the Bendies or the BRGs. Each guy is probably approached differently (especially those from the older eras). It’s always fascinating to know how people react be it enthusiastically, skeptically, or if it is just an easy payday and nothing more. Obviously the “all business” types won’t make for the best tales but the others could be fun to hear hear about. After that wild dark side of the ring episode, I want to know Marty Jannetty’s thoughts on absolutely everything. Conrad needs to get that guy a microphone asap Well, Marty is always pretty excited about his figures be they official or custom. About the Big Rubber Guy he had this confused and disturbing (typical Marty Jannetty) comment on his Facebook page: Quote by Marty Jannetty 06-30-2023 |

Think it’s a lesson learned from collectors point of view too, if these were not for pre-order and you could just purchase them in stock then we will not be in this position. We need to stop finding these business to get off the ground in my opinion. We are not the bank exactly my point - we're the customer, we're the ones who should receive goods worth the value we're paying I have zero interest in buying a future Rush figure, and my experience with G+G has put me off them too. until either company completes their final production run of figures, and we've seen the finished item and it's in stock for immediate shipping to customers, I ain't bothering to preorder from either of them. there's zero comeback for the customer at this stage, so these cowboys need to take the risk themselves and put out a product that people actually want to buy.
Now, I'm not saying what Rush, G+G and these other 1-man companies do is correct. However these small 1-man companies have less influence in chinese production plants than mega corporations do... Even the mega corporations seriously mess up on crowdfunding projects (why on earth do mega corporations even NEED crowdfunding projects???); remember not so long ago there was this crowdfunding project with a new generation WWE ring (worth around $200) and early bird crowdfunders would even receive an exclusive Ultimate Macho Man worth $30. What happened? Some people did receive a ring without figure, some received the figure without ring and some received the ring with a MOTU figure! Now, people that complained about not getting the figure or getting the MOTU figure were offered a $15 refund because the exclusive Ultimate Macho Man WASN'T available. REMEMBER we're talking about a mega corporation here with a crowdfunding project offering $15 instead of $30! It wasn't until a "bigger" youtube vlogger paid attention to the issue, that a representative of the corporation replied with that the issue was "easily solvable" and the "unavailable" Ultimate Macho Man figures got delivered! |

I contacted wrestling trader now several times about that one order that is still uncompleted with a figure (E. Page) that is in everybodys Hand now for very long. ...and they just dont answer. Not the Nice kind to treat a buyer this way ,that bought the whole chella range. I had my Ethan Page (the variant) through Chella, it was before Epic/WT came in... |

not saying you need to like everything, just don’t get why people are so quick to be negative towards a drawing when the the products so far have been quite good Fair enough. I still don't think you should put out a drawing if you don't want people to comment on and judge it. But I'm certainly happy to be proven wrong if the figure looks a lot better and will wait and see
Sketches don't mean much, the sketch by Ron Rudat for series 10/1993 Asst. II Marty Jannetty is beyond ugly. The figure turned out to be nice. The person who makes the sketch, doesn't make the figure. The sketch is just a rough guideline. |

Would've preferred red, black or a darker shade of yellow, but it's Marty Jannetty so I will buy him! |

How's that "bow to price gouging" or even "bootlicking nonsense"? They won't get money from me! nevermind, I shouldn't expect people to understand nuance and human empathy online. $100 is great, yay for PT! It's not PT... Anyway, you're missing the point: DON'T pay $100, if they get stuck with the figures they'll have to lower the price. |

He said: Which is correct. If you don't want it, you don't pay that high price; pretty simple. I said what I said, same argument. In this case, bow to price gouging. Bootlicking nonsense How's that "bow to price gouging" or even "bootlicking nonsense"? They won't get money from me! |

Ringside are a distributor not a producer. The manufacturer are clearly just trying to support one of their customers. Once the product is bought the retailer can sell it for whatever they want. I'm not agreeing with it, but if you don't like it you don't have to buy it. I bought them on the first preorder with a 10% discount, but I can still be upset for those that are getting gouged. (Also, "If you don't like it, leave" is such a cop out argument) He said: Which is correct. If you don't want it, you don't pay that high price; pretty simple. |

Their page is bollocks. I tried getting my first brawler, that Surfer Sting, and the page just kept messing up and wouldn't allow me to go to the checkout. Never had a problem ordering from them. |

WTF!!! What happened to the Poll?! After some considerable option weighing I had come to a conclusion and I was going to select my choice today. This is. complete BULL 💩! Oops!  |

Actually, I think Powertown could use multiple threads. They will have ultras, remco, one offs ie. major pod, etc. I guess we can wait til more is released before splitting off threads. I personally like this idea. I am sick of seeing the poll every time I click into the link, and it seems outdated. Removed the poll, it never bothered me since I scroll down to posts. |

Mods, can we get a legit Powertown thread now? Or rename this one? "PowerTown Wrestling Figures" says it all, no? |

I wouldn't see any point in getting doubles of the re releases, especially since you collect loose. It's completely pointless to me, but that's just me. The mail away's are a different animal. If you're going for a complete 100% Hasbro collection then I guess you would include them, but they're so expensive right now it all comes down to you and if you choose to go for them. Moon belly Kamala, if you thought the Mail away's were expensive then take a second mortgage for that one. What about the JC Penney Hogan/Savage? Would you consider this a complete Hasbro set without them too? In a loose collection you can't tell the difference between if they were bagged or carded... |

In a loose collection I wouldn't bother with the re-releases.
The Moon belly Kamala is probably the fake one; it's been on ebay for ages.

A mini jobbers line would be great, but it'd depend on who actually owns the rights to those names. WWF was full of them in the early to mid 90s. With mini you refer to like for the Hasbro Royal Rumble Ring or do you mean one series of just jobbers? I'd like the latter; I'd absolutely love to have Barry Horowitz, Steve Lombardi, Reno Riggins and Dale "Dusty" Wolfe. |

OK, deleted the posts about racism; they have nothing to do with Epic or their figs.

Thank you! I've been saying the whole time that taking over isn't an easy thing to do. Yes they started taking over late 2022, so f'n what? Be patient! Matt Cardona spreading falls rumours ain't helping either... Wait or don't preorder, pretty simple! What have I said that is false? This: I wish the Gage 2 pack was already out. I’m with ya. But at least I see pics from the factory every few months. I’ve seen the finished sample. Not just for my fig but for a lot others. So I know they are getting worked on. I know they are coming. I don’t know the exact reason for every delay. But Epic hasn’t even started production on these. ( Besides just starting Haku and BWO) That’s the difference. It was already known that Haku, bWo and Tanga are ready to be packaged! |
