what if raw was bad last week because Jay White didn't sign? it was rumored WWE had a lot of creative planned for him if he had just a thought Just can’t see it. We 40 minutes into Raw and we’ve had one match lol definitely Vince in my opinion. AND that match ended in a screwy finish. “Local medical facility” classic Vince.

The travel issues lines seems like a cover for “you know what has hit the fan backstage and we don’t have a clue what’s going on”

Hoping mattel can revive this thing sometime this week and make a pivot somehow, someway. I know options are limited - but I bo-lieve in Steve! #BolieveinSteve!

Checked this morning and it was at 2011 backers. Now at 2010. Had our first cancellation that I’ve noticed anyways.

Steve, Could you move Scott Steiner up to where Hulk was? Which I think would get us to the 5,000 and put his brother Rick where Scott was on the tier? People might fight harder to get those two brothers together in those outfits. Doesn't mean they can't make other Ricks & and Scott's but just a thought. I’d love if they could do that, but I think with him Mentioning the tiers were picked strategically rules that out. With Steiner requiring a new body mold, new head etc. that one would definitely be more costly that Hogan (or at least I would think it would be)

Leave Warrior out of this. He wasn’t same old. We don’t have a Warrior that looks anything like it. I bet if we announced that Warrior as a MNW or Legends Ultimate on its own, people would have gone nuts for it. Being in a lineup of figures where you have to potentially get them all and unlock them left this open to a lot of debate and extra scrutiny. I, for one, want to see this ultimate warrior released. If this doesn’t fund I’ll settle for an elite in the MNW line. That duster is SICK!

Steve, just wanted to say this while I can. Thanks for all you do for us members here and even bothering to hop on here on EASTER SUNDAY of all days haha I assure you that it doesn’t go unnoticed by lord of members.
Hopeful for this crowdfund and hoping it’ll cross the finish line, and/or there is a way to do something with the current offering to hopefully drive in more backers.
Best wishes to you and yours, Steve!

Hate to break the news, but this is officially part of the superstars line I mean, that’s as credible as me saying Hate to break the news, but this is officially part of the elite line. What’s the source that this is superstars related softgoods?

2,001 backers. 27 days left. We need an average of 112 buyers a day to push us just beyond the 5,000 mark. And that seems like a tall task to get that many buyers each day.

No no, it is. You’re just somehow too ignorant to see the difference. Don’t waste your time on someone with Eva Marie as their profile pic. It’s clear their wrestling opinions aren’t worth the effort it would take to argue with them.

Honestly, I’m getting to where I could care less about this thing. The lack of promotion and advertisement just make me feel like, as a consumer, that Mattel really care about this either.
Bear in mind, I’ve backed four of these.
With the New Gen set (backed 4 also), Steve and the team were everywhere. It was advertised everywhere and talked about on multiple platforms. With this, it’s been announced and then not mix since then other than a pointless stream video with incoherent rambling from Page, and then an IG video.
I get it was wrestlemania week and all, but first impression are everything and right out of the gate it seems like this has been snake bitten.
Maybe I’ll be proven wrong and it gets backed - we get Rey and the stage. Forget about DDP, Scott, and Warrior. Maybe we will get them as elite. Hogans already done for.
Unless there’s a pivot done on this stage I think it’s all but done. May will be the final mail in the coffin.

One thing about these crowdfund that, as a collector who buys all flashbacks releases, is off putting is them stating they won’t be making these outside of the crowdfund (and sometimes using the verbiage of “as ultimates”)
I’m okay if these come out as standard elites as, I don’t see the stage funding even by the end of the campaign and I certainly don’t see DDP,Steiner, or Warrior being made. We’ve already all but lost Hogan. It’s just frustrating being told that we won’t get these figures when I’m sure people would buy them individually as mattel creations made to order figures and/or legends elite releases.
I just don’t think 11k backers of this nitro stage was ever feasible no matter who was in tier 1 or the early bird backer at $400 a pop. And that’s coming from someone who has backed 4 of them already.

Steve, I’m sure you’ve received a barrage of these questions but I am curious. Is it possible for tiered figures to be moved around? Is it possible for Steiner to move to Rey’s spot? I don’t know the research done for the crowdfund, on the marketing side especially, but it seems like these crowdfunds are more niche audiences and having a FTITL figure as a buying incentive would held sway those on the fence even more to back the project vs watching from the sidelines and saying “I’ll back if x, y, z.”
Genuinely curious about the process and if that’s something feasible to do?
Thanks again for all your time and dedication, best wishes on the crowdfund. I’ve back 4 so I’m definitely hoping we unlock everything here!

Well, I’m ready to call it at this point. Bye, Hogan. To whoever said they would’ve preferred the figures being elites instead of ultimates, you may be in luck. The figures that don’t meet their goals, I could see Mattel releasing as elites instead of ultimates as a way to sort of loophole around the “If it doesn’t get backed, it doesn’t ever get made” thing. I hope so because I really want that warrior and the duster. I honestly think it’s one of the better figures along with Scott and DDP
