I honestly don’t care why, just glad we’re getting more. It does seem like his deal is expiring. I don’t think they would have done four of him so close together if they weren’t running out of time on him.
I would really like Mania 7 Jake before all is said and done with his deal. It’s not the end of the world if we don’t get it, but it would have been my first pick of what hasn’t been done yet.

A repainted figure in either standard or camo-style packaging. I think it would have to be a RSC exclusive too... not sure if Sarge has the mass-appeal of the usual Ultimate Edition figures. I think he’d sit at retail. This is a case of FOMO to a large degree imo. I bought it for the packaging. If this was a mass release Ultimate in normal packaging it was probably going to be a pass for me. Specifically because heel Sarge is around the corner in the main Elite line. If more people can get it then that’s cool with me. I just question the level of demand if it’s not a straight rerelease, cardback and all.

Weird, it shows Bam Bam in stock but can’t actually add it to the cart It’s done this a few times this morning. Mine is showing only 3 in-stock at a time. So if that’s how they’re adding them, then they’re probably gone before most people even see them.

If they announce the next fundraiser is for the Lex Express should this succeed, complete with Luger in USA windbreaker, I’ll back it right now This is more along the lines of what this should have been, honestly.

Truthfully the thing this ring has taught me the most is that a large portion of this forum have no idea what a crowdfunded project us and how it is run. Neither does Mattel. So they’re in good company.

The real question nobody’s asking is will Diesel have an elbow pad? Because historically Mattel has never given Kevin Nash an elbow pad even though he always wore one in every match. Is this the Ultimate version of Diesel or is not? If we see an elbow pad, I guarantee this would be fully backed on Day 1. I asked for wrist tape. You’re just getting greedy now.

Topher Grace played Venom… I honestly think most of Raimi’s trilogy was bogged down by horrible casting. Dunst was way too homely looking to be MJ. But man, Venom was offensive in Spidey 3.

These aren’t pre-order and the others haven’t been found in-store yet. I’m not expecting the others to be in-stock today. Maybe not even this week. Steve said Studd would be last and he showed up first. Which means the other three were delayed.

I'm glad 11 is going up. I really want that Bam Bam and would like to have one locked in, at least in theory.
That said, I don't trust that either or both of these won't go up at 3am one night this week.

Mattel is absolutely not making a character from a Spider-man movie. People need to let that go. We haven't even seen them commit to characters from a WWE Studios film yet. Ghostbusters was one wave. DoD two. We need to lower our expectations on this line imo. Getting Nada is amazing, if nothing else. If NECA wouldn't have just put him out it would be even more amazing, but when it rains it pours.

I'm sure Diesel and Doink will be released as solo Ultimates or Ringside will take them as exclusives. They took the time to tool them. No reason people wouldn't buy both without this ring set. Which probably speaks to the bigger issue of why this needed to be crowd funded, but I digress. you think they’ll do something that makes sense?

What's gonna happen if it doesn't reach the goal, will it be cancelled? that Doink will hopefully be released if it doesn't reach the goal, it's too good to just get cancelled I'm sure Diesel and Doink will be released as solo Ultimates or Ringside will take them as exclusives. They took the time to tool them. No reason people wouldn't buy both without this ring set. Which probably speaks to the bigger issue of why this needed to be crowd funded, but I digress.

Yeah this is next level mental. The ring went up for backing yesterday. Absolutely nothing was launched today. Is it normal for toy companies to gaslight their own customers...

There were no Target drops today as far as I know. They took a break and there will be another tomorrow.

Is this like when your parents buy a big tub of ice cream at the store for after dinner, but you act like a snot and get sent to bed without it?
