And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Mel C is probably the only one who isn't a heel, the rest all loved Thatcher.

For what its worth there's likely 20-somethings out there right now who probably feel old talking about them too. They formed in 2009 and disbanded seven years ago (with the exception of a Coachella performance last year because kpop is #1 now) so technically they're something of a "classic" group now by Kpop standards. At least old enough that the spinner belt was relevant when they made that music video, lol. :corsair:

$400 USD/$695 CAD but if collected toys I’d be very tempted.

The figures mostly look pretty bad but the set is so sick. Was similarly tempted by the New Generation set they had going a while back.

It's definitely more than a $20 set but $400 is overpriced for sure. It's gigantic and has a bunch of programmed and adjustable LED lights on it, so it definitely doesn't look like the cheap plastic entrances I had as a kid. I mean, it's probably still cheap plastic... but it's textured and realistically weathered!

BAEST MODE!!!
It's $400 because you aren't paying $400 to purchase the dollhouse you are spending $400 to crowdfund it so that a small mom & pop company can product it without risking going out of business.

It seems like it might be a "sell a small number of units to super fans at a high margin" thing vs trying to sell a lot of units at a low margin.

Have you seen what $20 gets you in the toy section today? This is almost certainly overpriced, but it's way more than $20. One of those figures alone retails for more than $20!

I feel like the absolute target market for this, but it's overpriced and the figures look lovely. I didn't back the New Generation entrance/ring either as it was similarly overpriced and didn't even have the real WWF logo on it. Now all of those are sitting on eBAY for the original price or cheaper, so I feel fine just waiting and taking that route.

All the metal parts came from the actual set, they've been melted down and reforged in the proper small size.

For $400, it could at least include a ring. Also, it's baffling that Ultimate Warrior is featured for a WCW branded set. At least have Flair, Sting or Luger or something.

It’s this, that’s literally what the Mattel creations imprint is.

They sell niche toys to adult toy nerds in small runs, so they’re naturally more expensive both because they need to make their money back on tooling etc over a smaller production run plus since they’re selling directly to toy nerds they can jack the price up too because adult toy collectors have disposable income or they wouldn’t even be in the hobby.

The new generation entrance set they did re-sells for pretty much double the original asking price and this probably will too.
