Not sure im a fan of them already branching off into a subset so soon. The market is so saturated with hasbro styles and now the remco style is following suit. I think these companies especially the small ones should just focus on one scale and make it successful before having subsets. The skeptic in me makes me think they tried the established "Elite" scale Ultra line to "test the waters" and will now pivot to Remco-style as their main line.

Agreed. The Remco style probably makes the most sense for these guys but stick with one style of figure right now and build a base. Zombie came out and said right away that his focus is one product, one line, as many wrestlers as he can get out. His figures may take forever to make but the business model seems sound imo.
The reason secondary lines work for Mattel is because they have a huge consumer base for their Basic and Elite figures. I have 300 elite figures already, so I'm willing to buy a niche Superstars line as a fun thing in-between sets. These smaller companies are nowhere near that luxury. Chella sank their company taking on too many styles all at once.

There are so many small/start up companies that are seemingly getting way ahead of themselves before any physical product is readily produced and available. I wish all of the companies well and hope everything gets released because it’s good for the collectors, wrestlers and the market. I’ve been hesitant to order from any of the companies. Someday I’d love to have the Powertown Kerry Von Erich.

Maybe I am impatient, but I keep checking the thread and am hoping to see a sudden jump of one or two pages which would indicate that some big announcement came out.

Preorders go back on sale soon through 12/6.
So they needed to order the minimum and have some left over…

That Hansen prototype is really impressive.

These look like they’re going to be the highest quality imaginable

PowerTown is going to put the rest of the boutique lines to shame. Top quality figures and classy people behind it? I mean, with that they’re already ahead of the boutiques, Jazwares AND Mattel…

Got a set and an extra Stan Hansen. Might get another Brody. Like what I'm seeing with these newer protos. Hopefully some news comes out on wave 2 soon. Would like a 30.00 budget type line for some of the enhancement guys they got coming, similar to how Boss fight is doing the Lucha Line
After watching Tales from the Territories Playboy Buddy Rose is definitely needed.

So do you think we will get a Series Two announcement during the 12 Days of PowerTown?

Wow, those prototypes are exceptional. The era's not really my collecting focus, but if they ever made an Ernie Ladd I'd preorder day one.

To be honest, I'm all for these. I'm interested in seeing who they've got lined up for January.

I originally only preordered Brody and Hansen. But with the preorders reopening I buckled and ordered Magnum and Kerry. Really hope these turn out as good as the prototypes make them out to be.

I think these guys should work with the other smaller distributors, to share talent especially if they're working with Surge Licensing.

Every time this thread gets bumped, I come here hoping it's news about the next series of figures.
