The figures shown so far look great. I just really wish they had moved to soft goods for jackets and such.

I don't know about "met its deadlines". The ultra series 1 was delayed twice. The Matt/Brian two pack has been delayed (and still isnt out). Remco's were listed as Q3 then pushed to Q4 (after being a year late from their original announcement). They've literally never met a deadline they've made publicly available. I love what Powertown is doing and I'm excited for the upcoming lines but until they start hitting on the dates they announce I think people have a right to voice concern.
the remcos just went on sale recently. They’re nowhere close to having been supposed to be out so it’s unfair to say that they haven’t met that deadline. It hasnt even been a year yet for the major two pack so I’m reserving judgement on that too. Ultras 1 wasn’t off by much as far as the date given at the time of the pre order. I’m personally satisfied with their timing
They said Q3 during the pre-order, then a month later gave a Q4 release date. How is it unfair? Its fine to be OK with the timeline, personally they don't bother me either- I'm not someone that's in a rush for figures. But they set dates and then routinely push those dates out, sometimes multiple times. That's not "meeting deadlines." It's actually the very definition of missing them.

To be fair, the Ultras series 1 was delayed mainly to fix the broken leg issue, which I think all of us were happy with the delay so that would not be an issue. But regardless, it seems to me with most of these smaller companies having things on time is the exception, and not the norm. If the delays are a month or two, then fine. If they are a year or two (hello ZST) then it is an issue.

Yeah, technically October is Q4 but for all we know it could just be a couple of weeks into the month when they start to arrive.I guess we'll see...but, I wouldn't even be too surprised if that slips further towards the end of the year. They really should've had the arrival time be 'end of the year'. That gives them some wiggle room and it looks good if they arrive earlier than we're expecting. Btw, I don't think Dory Funk was a 2 time world champion. Did they just copy & paste the Jack Brisco graphic? I don't think either Funks had to drop the belt to Baba, right?

I feel like that was something everyone called them out on that summer but maybe I’m miss remembering the timeline.

I'm not here to complain, I LOVE this line. I would appreciate "old man" alternate heads for folks that wrestled into their middle ages like Dory Jr. 🙏

It’s unfair because they might come out tomorrow for all any of us know, and in that case they’re ahead of the deadline. The fair thing would be to judge once they’ve come out or at least missed any deadline they set for them. But that hasn’t happened. The third quarter hasn’t concluded yet.

Ugh, this was the look I most wanted from Mattel. But I'm out on the PowerTown line.

Series 2 looks great, looks like each figure will come with extra heads & extra set of hands. Unfortunately, no changes to the articulation it appears and no fabric accessories?!

I’m listening to the MWFP right now and they mentioned the holdup on their 2 pack was apparently Matt’s robe. So that might give a peak behind the curtain as to why we aren’t seeing soft goods. Pure speculation on my part with that limited information but it doesn’t feel too far fetched. They also voiced their uncertainties about the listed release dates. Matt said he has yet to see an actual sample (I believe that is the term he used but anyone can correct me). So if he hasn’t seen his own figure even without the robe, how confident can you be that the TNA and Remco figures will be done around the same time? Definitely an interesting part of this week’s episode.

Yes! They went with the baby blue. Definitely picking this one up.
