Can't really see the likeness for Tito but others look excellent. Just not into this style of figure tho.

I’m probably the minority on this & might get some heat from some for speaking my opinion, but it is what it is, my personal opinion … seems to me that PowerTown is all talk … all of these announcements & pics of new figures ( like Kamala & Wahoo McDaniel ) are nice to see but when will the Remco series 1 be out? … these were announced months & months ago, we’ve seen pics of them but that is all … they aren’t even up for preorder yet … idk about everyone else but it’s extremely difficult for me to get amped up & excited about a company that is taking such a ridiculous amount of time to materialize it’s product … when these finally do hit the preorder stage is it going to be this time next year before they are completed, shipped & we get them?? … I’m sorry but I can’t get excited & get behind something like that, it’s just absurd now … to my knowledge, they keep announcing figures but actually producing none except for that first Ultra series that included Magnum TA, Lou Thesz & Bruiser Brody but even that took far longer than it ever should have … the guys at Major Bendies are running circles around PowerTown & they’re doing an excellent job with their productions all the way, now they are something that I’m excited about … there’s a time for talk & announcing then there’s a time for production & materialization … PowerTown is losing my total interest quick!!

Although I agree with your point about them losing momentum, I strongly disagree about them not being legitimate. They have lots of room for improvement but their quality and detailing seems to be pretty on point. Their production schedule is what is killing them. That said, they need to make announcements to keep interest alive. If they go back to being silent, they will hurt themselves even more. |

That’s true about the announcements I guess but I’m just about to the point of I’ll believe it when I see it as I’m sure others are as well & that isn’t good either |

does anyone know yet if these All Stars scale with Mattel WWE Superstars? This line up is pure fire! The parts are almost identical between these & superstars so I'm willing to say they'll fit in better than any other "remco" style. |

Love seeing the Rock N Roll Express, but disappointed they didn't truly capture Robert Gibson's wonky eye

Love seeing the Rock N Roll Express, but disappointed they didn't truly capture Robert Gibson's wonky eye LoL … I’m one of the biggest RnR fans out there & have been since the 80s … I have every figure of them that’s been made so far except for the blue 1 of 50 limited edition Ricky Morton pint sized all star which I’m looking for very frequently & I’ll certainly grab these Remcos up as well even though I must admit they are just a little bit disappointing & didn’t wow me like I thought they would when I seen the pics … because they had SO many different colorful attires back in the day & they put them in freaking black … I hope the BRG figures are a star burst of colors & capture their true 80s look when they come |

The likenesses aren't there for most of these guys (Hacksaw looks good and Bockwinkel looks a lot like Eddie Graham so I guess that's something). But, as a classic Remco style wrestling figures, it very much works for me. And I think their body sculpts might be the best looking modern Motu style sculpts going right now.

For me its the hair. Can't describe it right now other than it seems like the hair is just floating on the head. The hair color is also off on tito i feel. Should be darker brown hair. The rockers look old in their new figures. They were cheerful in their days. Give em a smile powertown! Only other thing would once again be the hair. They had a spiky hair look (with the mullet of course haha). Either way will gladly pick these up. We may never get another set of these guys I think the others look great. Overall gonna be a good 1st series. Looking forward to tully blanchard now |

Hopefully we hear something soon. They may need the funding first which is most likely the delay. Im sure we will get these at some point but it may not be until next year |
