WCW Nitro Stage Crowdfund Jumps to 54% Funded with 2 Days to Go

The WCW Nitro stage crowdfunding project has jumped from 43% funded on Monday to 54% funded as of press time. The project surged over the last 24 hours, with around 550 orders coming in.

The crowdfund has until May 5 at 11:59 p.m. PT to reach a minimum of 5,000 units sold to unlock the stage and two Ultimate Edition figures: Rey Mysterio and a first-time-in-the-line “Big Poppa Pump” Scott Steiner. At just 5,000 backed, the two figures would share the distinction as the No. 2 rarest Ultimate Edition figures produced behind the black carded Sgt. Slaughter figure.

The project has several unlockable Ultimate figures at different tiers, should this top 5k: Diamond Dallas Page (7,000), the Ultimate Warrior (9,000) and Hulk Hogan (11,000).
