I really hope Bobo Brazil is in Series 3, that will be my first PowerTown purchase if so.

Kamala looks good but, I dont think he looks better than the Mattel version. Mattel Kamala is one of my favorite wrestling figures so maybe I'm just being hyper-critical with that comparison.

These smaller companies are really giving Mattel a run for their money!

How do you know that he isn't signed?! Correct me if I am wrong but I don't believe Powertown has released the full list of wrestlers they have signed to deals. Martel is a big want of mine as well, don't think we will see another Mattel figure of him that is why I was hoping he might sign with Powertown. Also, when I saw that Greg Gagne was involved, I knew they would be trying to go after as many wrestlers that appeared in AWA. Speaking of which, I hope they sign Curt Hennig as well once his legends deal with WWE expires.
They have not released a full list, but early on they did announce a number of names that they had signed (most of which we have not seen anything from them yet) and I have kind of compiled a list on page 7 of this thread. Here is the updated version of the list, which had people removed when they re-signed with WWE/Mattel and also added names that first appeared in the Remco wave. Full List of wrestlers from past announcements and other merchandise coming from Powertown โCowboyโ Bobby Duncum Duane Duncum Bobby Duncum Jr. Jaques Rougeau Eddy Auger Rougeau Johnny Rougeau Jacques Sr Rougeau Raymond Rougeau Armand Rougeau Jean-Jacques Rougeau Cedric Rougeau Emilie Rougeau Bobby The Brain Heenan Diamond Dallas Page The Von Erichs - Assuming this is Kerry, David, Kevin, Mike & Chris Randy Poffo Lanny Poffo Angelo Poffo Hillbilly Jim Tito Santana Tony Atlas Rockinโ Robin Judy Martin Harley Race Nick Bockwinkel Mad Dog Vachon Mean Gene Okerlund George โScrap Ironโ Gadaski Iron Mike Sharpe Andrรฉ the Giant Bobby Duncum Sr. Bobby Duncum Jr. Bobby Heenan Tony Atlas Gorgeous George (early on was rumored to be part of Series 2) Nikita Koloff Ivan Koloff Gertrude "Luna" Vachon Paul "Butcher" Vachon Maurice "Mad Dog" Vachon Diane "Vivian" Vachon R&R Express - Robert Gibson R&R Express - Ricky Morton Bobo Brazil Missing Link Tully Blanchard Ken Patera Dick the Bruiser The Crusher Arn Anderson They also have Haystacks Calhoun www.80stees.com/products/country-boy-haystacks-calhoun-t-shirt

These smaller companies are really giving Mattel a run for their money! If Power Town or ZST can somehow get their products in mass retail, it will be game over for Mattel.

Firstly powertown has had one set out and the whole first batch were faulty. ZST takes 2-3 years for a figure. Mattel will be fine, this board is a small % of who is buying Mattel products.

There has to be avenues for these names they have. Even if limited runs, etc.

Mattel might be fine but their WWE line won't be unless they fix their distribution problems. The vast majority of people who want to buy these figures are unable to because they can't find them due to the horrible distribution. This line is nearing its end, it can't continue without retailer support (neither WM or Target carry the main lines, at least not consistently) and it can't continue without casual collectors who far outnumber the hardcore collectors. Unfortunately, most of the casual collectors have moved on because collecting Mattel figures has become extremely difficult and not worth the effort.
Of course they are, it looks like Mattel wants a monopoly over the wrestling figure market just like McMahon wanted a monopoly over all things wrestling. Powertown has the potential to be a strong threat as far as legends figures go and Mattel don't appear to be very happy about that. You think its just a coincidence that right after Powertown appears and starts making figures that Mattel decides to release figures of older legends from 60s & 70s whom they previously said we wouldn't see figures of because pre-Golden Era legends don't sell.

Thank you. I updated the list on page 7.
You can add The Road Warriors to the list as well as both Hawk & Animal are now represented by CMG Brands, the same company that represents Andre & Macho Man (both of whom are your list). Also, Koko B. Ware was rumoured to have signed as well but that is not confirmed.
Great list of legends, they need to sign the following wrestlers as well:
The Hart family (Bret, Owen & Stu) Adrian Adonis
Curt Hennig Greg Valentine Iron Sheik
Jake Roberts
King Kong Bundy Paul Orndorff Ric Flair
Rick Rude Roddy Piper Mr. Fuji Jesse Ventura
Killer Bees British Bulldogs Hercules & Paul Roma

Killer Bees British Bulldogs Hercules & Paul Roma My biggest want for them to sign (and forgive me for being a broken record across the boards) - Ole Anderson. Even if he is a Powertown figure and the others are Mattel, a chance to complete the ORIGINAL Four Horsemen is too much to miss.

Kamala looks good but, I dont think he looks better than the Mattel version. Mattel Kamala is one of my favorite wrestling figures so maybe I'm just being hyper-critical with that comparison. The belly fat and the lack of cankles are improvements over the Mattels as are the gauntlets and spear. I think I still prefer Mattel's head sculpt over Jakks & PowerTown, though. Wouldn't mind his 2nd head being his Memphis debut paint

It looks like she will debut when the preorders go live. They will be up for a month or so, so it will give us time to see how she looks to decide, although I am already planning on getting the full set twice (one to open and one to not). Let's hope there are the same discount codes as last time for the bundles.
