A Very Merry Macho Man Special, A History of Randy Savage Wrestling Figure - The FigGuys #031

Moc. Loose. Collectors. Forever.This week’s episode of The FigGuys is one of the most important — and eye-opening — conversations we’ve ever had.We kick things off with wrestling legend Magnum T.A., who joins the show for an in-depth, unfiltered discussion about the ongoing PowerTown figures situation. From the very beginning, Magnum walks us through how the company was formed, how quickly it evolved from a small concept into something much larger, and how that rapid growth ultimately led to major challenges behind the scenes.What started as a passion-driven project centered around honoring legends of the past quickly turned into a full-scale operation — one that required significantly more structure, communication, and most importantly, capital than anyone initially anticipated. Magnum breaks down the realities of the toy business, from production timelines and steel costs to the risks of relying on pre-orders as a primary business model.As Mike puts it during the conversation, sometimes it only takes one misstep — “one iceberg to sink the Titanic” — and in this case, a combination of miscommunication, financial strain, and scaling too quickly created a perfect storm.Magnum also shares that many of the figures fans are waiting on are not vaporware — in fact, some are completed or near completion — but the lack of funding has created a bottleneck preventing them from being shipped. He emphasizes that this was never intended to be a cash grab, but rather a situation where the vision outpaced the resources needed to sustain it.Beyond the business side, Magnum opens up about the personal toll the situation has taken, ultimately leading to his decision to step away and refocus on his family and well-being. It’s a candid and human conversation that gives fans a level of transparency rarely seen in the figure world.After a heavy and informative first half, the show pivots into a much-needed dose of excitement as Steve Ozer and Magic Olmos from Mattel return to The FigGuys.With WrestleMania season approaching, the guys dive into the hype surrounding upcoming reveals, how far in advance figures are actually developed, and what goes into creating standout pieces in lines like WWE Elite and Ultimate Edition. Magic shares insight into the design process and working directly with talent, while Steve discusses the balance between showing figures early and delivering the “latest and greatest” at major events.From behind-the-scenes realities to future-facing excitement, this episode delivers everything — honest conversation, industry insight, and the passion that drives the wrestling figure community.Join the FigGuys community for weekly episodes, figure news, and collector conversation: https://www.thefigguys.comFollow @officialfigguys for more.Save with our partners:Ringside Collectibles – Code FIGGUYS (10% off) Big Shots – Code THEFIGGUYS10 (10% off) Figures Toy Company – Code OFFICIALFIGGUYS (10% off)

Kissy Face, Drop Hips & Royal Rumble Glory | The FigGuys #090Moc. Loose. Collectors.

It’s not just about how the figure looks, but how it poses, how it displays, and whether it finally feels like the right Shawn Michaels body choice in Ultimate form.The discussion leans into the real collector debates: • Are drop hips actually a win for posing? • Which hands matter most when displaying HBK? • Does this release feel like a true legacy Ultimate, or just another great Shawn? • And where does it rank among modern Ultimate Editions?Royal Rumble energy flows through the episode as well, keeping the conversation loose, funny, and unmistakably FigGuys — the kind of talk that feels like hanging out with friends who know exactly why this era of HBK still matters.Then it’s time for Ringside Roundup, where the guys hit the latest pre-orders, sellouts, and surprises across the hobby.
