does anyone have any information about the upcoming Nick Aldis figure from Chella Toys?
Nick himself has said on his social media that it's going to be something cool for old school figure fans, but does anyone here have any info about what it will look like, such as whether it's in line with other figure types like Hasbro/Retros, the BCAs or more like the Mattel Elites?
there's very little info on either their website or their social media account, so wondering if anyone here knows more? twitter.com/chellatoys |

There's no info, you can't even find other toys produced by Chella Toys... For all we know oldschool could be rubber LJN-like or MOTU-style Remco-like...

Is it Hasbro or Bend Em? The latest tease makes me question whether it is Hasbro. Their interview on the Grapple Arcade podcast was great. Really hope this figure is awesome.

I imagine if this does well there will be more licenses picked up in future.

It's cool but unfortunately a pass from me. I understand it's a small company starting out in this field and a very limited run but the price is too high for me once you include shipping.
It's a fun product, I hope it sells out. Good luck to Chella and Nick.

For us Europeans $50 is almost standard when buying from the US. Many times I paid s&h twice the value of the figure! And if I'm really unlucky: $25+ import taxes... |

That stinks, and after seeing/reading how many times you guys great screwed on Mattel stuff not making there, I really shouldn't complain. |

Ordered two without thinking too much. I will not take the wife out to eat/cinema/whatever for a few weeks. This way I am even making a profit and have a little more freetime. Great deal.
On second thought - the feet look weird. I didn’t like the boots of the WWE Retros, but these look terrible. Anyway, let’s see how this will end up. I am willing to be extremely positive.

It looks like a decent custom. Not too impressed if that’s the finished product, but I know this is just a prototype

It kind of reminds me of the Neca Simpsons Bret Hart. Proportions fit to the World of Springfield. Just paint it yellow. Lol
This being said, I habe ordered two. They deserve support for even trying!

Is it really $50 for a Hasbro style Nick Aldis. I would pay it for a 6” figure with accessories like a jacket or robe and the NWA Title. But a Hasbro? That’s wild.
