Figured this needed to be separate from the other PowerTown thread since they’re completely different scale and style and likely fanbase. Series 1: Rock N Roll Express Bobo Brazil Tito Santana Missing Link Nick Bockwinkel Magnum TA Tully Blanchard  |

While this isn't my preferred style, it's nice to know that figures of some of these guys are coming in some form.

Not for me at all, but for those that want this scale good for you. I hope these guys get the “Ultra” treatment.

Missing Link! It's about time he got something. Hope this means he will end up in the main line. Any pics?

WWE Superstars line is incredibly popular and would likely be a bigger hit if Walmart can figure out their distribution. Plus it’s safe to say most of these guys will appear in their 6-7” line. |

If they're done in the modernized/articulated style with accessories of the WWE Superstars or modern MOTU figures, these could be cool. If they're just old school Remco bodies, not for me.

I think I’ll be happy either way but they probably should be modernized a bit to have a bigger appeal and get people to want to insert these into their Superstars collection. |

Bobo and Link first time figures, ever! That's what I like to see.

Missing Link and RNR I’ll buy for sure. Maybe Magnum and Blanchard as well.

These need to be in the powertown line style not remco its not 1970s anymore. That figure style (aka MOTU-style) is from the '80s, not '70s! These will definitely end up in my collection! |

I like seeing it but it is unlikely that I would buy any.

im not saying I dont want people to have this. Im just saying would like to see 1st time line figures get ultra treatment. they could have done these guys after the ultra as not everyone is gonna be on board with that style. esp since bockwinkel already had a remco.

I wonder how well they will fit with the Superstars figures. A Tito might look good on a shelf next to a few.

The fact that Bockwinkel already had a Remco is making me think these might be a bit updated from actual 80s Remcos.
Missing Link is probably going to be the only one I'd be interested in getting in this style (from this list). Though, I'm a fan of many on this list, I dont think they're toyetic enough for the exaggerated MOTU style. Would prefer realistic figs of them.

No concept arts or preorders yet? These guys really don’t know how to get us excited.

As per MWFP today, these will have interchangeable heads and be closer in style to the modern Mattel Superstars figures.
