Seems likely that it’s Storm, not necessarily someone I want/need but good for people that want him. That would be cool. Storm is a good guy. A little story: A few years back, When JR was doing a lot on the spoken word circuit he did a show in the uk. James storm was doing some indies around this time also in the uk and dropped into the jr show about halfway through to watch and catch up with jr. Storm wasn’t advertised at all. But he hung out and signed / had pics with everyone who wanted one with him, no charge just being a cool dude. |

It’s so cool when celebrities are happy to engage with their fans! |

I’d be pleased with a James Storm (he’s on my list for a custom! 😂)
He’s one of the few guys around at the moment who I enjoy watching and like the character.
At a TNA live show in 2009, he & Roode were a lot of fun as Beer Money Inc, taking a beer from someone in the crowd & getting chants going...great fun.

the MOC Hasbros right now are like $100+/each on ebay. You can maybe find Tornado for $70/$80 plus shipping but it'll be French card and some damage. I'd pay the $40 no problem to get any Hasbro guys remade. whether it be Chella or Zombie

Yes -- it will be cheaper, but the figure and the card won't look as good -- or fit in if you have other MOC Hasbros. So I don't know why it's worth saving 40 bucks to have a subpar product -- let them do new guys

The price point on these is almost making me not want to buy any. I would love to have the Dynamite/Matilda but the price is questionable.

New pic of Dynamite dies look terrible. They really need to readjust the style of the figures. I may pass if the figure really turns out like this...

Must say I am digging the Dynamite kid figure, and I have to respect all the issues being highlighted with cost to shipping. But it’s the same argument us UK guys are pitching about Zombies price point and lack of clarity to International buyers. I have to give Chella credit in at the least making them available to US customers.

The price is not questionable, $20-25 is very much acceptable for a small company. This isn't a billion dollar company like Mattel or Hasbro. Oh, you have to pay $20 shipping... That's what most collectors that don't live in the U.S. have been doing most of the time; paying for shipping. |

That's what most collectors that don't live in the U.S. have been doing most of the time; paying for shipping. I mean there is no wrong answer here. You aren’t a bigger fan because you will spend more. These things just have thresholds for people. To many spending $40-$45 on a figure is simply too much to bear and enjoy the figure. I mean I’m certainly at that point with these and the zombie ones where I just don’t know if I can spend that kind of money regularly on these. The only one I know for a fact that I’m gonna get is the Jay White figure. |

I mean I’m certainly at that point with these and the zombie ones where I just don’t know if I can spend that kind of money regularly on these. The only one I know for a fact that I’m gonna get is the Jay White figure. My whole point was; I'm not a bigger fan because I spend more, but as a wrestling figure collector from Europe I just have to just to own a figure. The availability in local stores is below sad; when an US collector finds a wrestling figure for $19.99 at his Target store, I'm lucky if I find that same figure for €24.99 ($29.67) in a local store. If I don't find that figure I have to turn to eBay or Amazon or some website about comics where I'll pay $25 for that $19.99 figure + between $10.00 and $20.00 for shipping and if I'm unlucky the customs office lets me pay another $20.00. All this just for a "cheap" Mattel WWE or Jazwares AEW figure. Now there's this tiny UK company called Chella Toys that asks $20.00 for a retro-style figure and collectors are like; wow, $20.00 + $20.00 shipping: that's a questionable price, insane even! So, yes, I own many figures from many different lines because I'm a wrestling fan. I've also spend a small fortune just on shipping, because I wanted those figures but couldn't buy them in a local store. My complete sets I can count on one hand: I own a complete loose set of Popy figures (all 10 of them) and I own a complete MOC set of CMLL secret compartment figures by Future Toys (all 4 of them). All my other MOC or loose wrestling figures are just figures I like. |

I pre-ordered 3 Dynamites. One to stand next to Davey Boy. One to customize into Crispen Wah. One to customize into Dean Malenko. And this way I’ll have a cape for Davey Boy.
