I ordered two, and I have no clue why. Dynamite wasn't in the WWF during the Hasbro era. Maybe I gave into Matilda and nostalgia.
I do want to support this company, though, for trying to fill the "gaps" in our collection.

I have ordered all of these figures, does anyone else think they are overstretching as there is now a big backlog and still trying to get new things out?

For those who haven't seen, this could be the first female Hasbro type from Chella and it doesn't look too bad.  |

Will they finally get the proportions right?
This would be fantastic! What a great signing.

Not really my cup o’ tea, but, I know there’s a lot of interest in female Hasbro-styled figures. I’m super happy for everyone who is excited by this one. I wonder if this was who the teaser Chella posted was for. I’m still hoping it turns out to be James Storm.

Very cool signing, this will really open the doors for other female talent also. The hair style is gonna be so cool not only that she is iconic within Japanese wrestling. I actually did not get her being the signing from the teaser video but so obvious now looking back lol.

I just looked for Dynamite and with shipping and taxes it would be almost $48.
I want Dynamite but almost $50 for a hasbro like figure is something I am going to have to think about.

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. 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. $25 plus 23 in shipping is extremely questionable for me. |

Then I guess I've been ripped off in every transaction... No, it's called international shipping. |

The MOC Mind of the Meanie set looks brilliant - the figures both look to have developed far from the Aldis figure; can’t wait to get it in hand. Love the signing of Bull Nakano! Very excited to be getting a female in this style at long last - only took like 30 years  I only know her from her brief run in the WWF in the mid-90s, but she has an incredible look and will make an incredible figure. Love that she has the Perfect-Plex style pose as well. I just looked for Dynamite and with shipping and taxes it would be almost $48. Is that from Asylum? The figure there is $29.99 for US customers - is shipping really that high to take it to $48? That’s crazy. |

Pretty standard for someone such as me who has to deal with living in the UK and getting shipments from overseas. Welcome to the none us world. |

Just paid €70 for Ultimate Macho Man. That is a typical issue with global shipping. But Europeans might be more used to it than fellow collectors from the US.
I kind of appreciate the thought that a figure might not be worth the required money. This reflection is often lost in todays collector’s world (anybody collecting Hot Toys here lol). 👍🏻

Not sure how his is $6 or $7 more unless he doesn't live in the continental 48 States. |

Beg you to take a look at her All Japan Women run, especially from 1991-1994 (she co-competed in WWF and All Japan Women that last year). Promise you won't be disappointed. Especially her feud with Aja Kong or teaming with her |

Is it just me, or does anyone think the announcer it he best figure in this line -- and maybe one of the best Retros made my any company?

I'm really impressed with how these ones are looking compared to the Aldis one. Definitely hits the Hasbro feel amazingly

My Mind of the Meanie pack just arrived, and I must say I think it looks great! I’m not a MOC guy, but it’s gonna seem a shame to open this as I think it’s the closest to the original Hasbro’s packaging that I’ve seen. For the first time I kind of understand why people collect moc! 😂 Chella have done a great job!   |

   The skintone is better, than the Aldis. Meanie only has arm articulation, it looks like the head is a separate piece, but it's glued down. Josh has arms and head articulation and the microphone is removeable. The pegs on the Aldis figure are wider, so you can't swap heads/arms with Josh/Meanie. The pegs on the Josh/Meanie are the same and can be swapped. The feet are in scale to the figures, unlike the Aldis, still no peg holes. |

Wow -- these look great on card. I still say that announcer/host guy is one of the best Retros -- even better than many Mattels.
