I took the chance with JB Toys for Ethan Page and Dynamite Kid. I figure if he burns people Chella will have to answer for it since they advertise him directly. Also seems everyone that ordered Meanie 2 packs or Aldis did fine with JB. I just don’t think I can trust the guy after my experiences. Many have said bad things about him prior to me placing an order so I approached it with caution. When I request to buy the Blue Meanie 2 Pack, I state that I would be doing it as goods and services. He was charging 1% higher on goods and services than necessary but I think we sorted that out. Him not knowing what the real cost should be was a bit of a red flag too. But hey, benefit of the doubt. Three months later, I go to check on the status of the figures because there hasn’t been any update but it shows that he has me blocked on IG (no idea why - I don’t think I follow him nor do I comment on much of anything). His page wouldn’t show up for me and I screenshotted it. This lead me to contact Chella who then contacted him. Shortly thereafter, his IG page magically worked again. Coincidence or shady behavior? Again, I gave him the benefit of the doubt even though his page showed up fine on another account. He then contacted me and said he didn’t have me blocked and tried to get me to buy an Ethan Page figure (I opted not to respond right away). Some time later, his IG account got banned (again) for what I suspect was illegal activity. This was my final red flag. I decided to go ahead and request a refund for my order. My mindset was we will see how this goes for other people and maybe in the future I’ll buy more figures if everything appears to be smooth. Lol nope! He was going through a personal matter which I missed initially because I didn’t read his full response after he told me “we don’t offer refunds.” That part about the funeral is absolutely on me but I will let others judge our exchange and the way in which he conducted himself:   Again, I take responsibility for not seeing the part about the funeral (if there was any truth to it). However, I would never have expected someone to be conducting business at their own mother’s funeral (or any funeral for that matter). It isn’t the wording you would expect to see following the denial of a refund request. That also raises just so many other questions. So in short, I don’t wish anything bad upon this guy but there is a lot going on with him that should make everyone be cautious when dealing with him. Thank you for posting this. If I decide on any of the figures through Chella, I'll buy them directly from the boys, like Meanie/Josh and the others, or even eBay, but this whole JB situation is a mess that Chella should never have gotten involved with |

I'm all for giving people the benefit of the doubt, but my one interaction with that guy on IG was negative and WHO IS RETURNING TEXTS AT THEIR MOTHER'S FUNERAL? What the....? I really have a hard time believing anything about that guy. Chella made a little bit of a misstep here. No wonder others are leery of going through overseas middlemen: you never really know how they're going to handle your product and your customers.
Is there going to be a reliable way to get Dynamite Kid and Bull over here?

NUCLEAR announcement coming. We all know what that means. Hopefully it will be in their 7“ line, because there is really no need for a Hasbro style Adam Bomb. The original one is good enough. I like it! Wouldn't have been in my top 50 guys I'd want in Hasbro form, but it excites me more than alot of the guys announced form both Chella or ZST. Think it all comes down to what era(s)/fed(s) you have nostalgia for. This will be a definate order for me, my 2nd from Chella, this and Bull. I would have gone for Dynamite too had I not already had a custom Bulldogs done. |

Chella just all but confirmed Giant Haystacks. Great news as he can fit into any WCW collection as Loch Ness.

What an awesome announcement, definitely a name to the UK fan base and 100% WCW representation would be awesome. Never would have thought of him too, Chella really thinking outside the box and serving a number of markets and fan bases. Will be a player on this item for sure. |

I’m in the fence for this one. Giant Haystack is important from a historical perspective and has many great stories surrounding him...but I don’t have any memories of him outside of my dad telling me a few things and his sad run in WCW. We shall see what the figure looks like and then I’ll make my decision.
Would be interesting to see if they can get Big Daddy as well. Again, I might be tempted for his historical importance alone.

JB is shady AF. Dude is no good... I’ve never had any issues dealing with JB. Dude is an egomaniac. Thinks he’s tight with the boys because marks out and buys all their gear. His belts are subpar and bought for $200 less overseas from what he sells them for. Passes them off as his own. Have had dealings with the guy over the years. Don’t trust him as far as I could throw him. And with my bad back I shouldn’t throwing anybody... |

According to major pod chella have announced a 7” line to fit in with the current brands - full articulation etc
I hope I’m wrong but I worry that’s a lot to take on for a husband and wife team and a small upstart company.
Making hasbro style figs is one thing but once you go to full articulation your opening up the can for so many problems.
I hope I’m wrong and wish them the best of luck and may well be a purchaser depending on all the factors (who they do, price, look etc) but man that’s a big big feat if they pull it off.

I think they will do well dude, I must say Chella’s evolution as a company and as products is super impressive, they are aware what is currently out in the market and the standard that has been set by Mattel, Jazwares etc so I am sure this have been well thought out. I personally believe it will be like Super 7s approach to making these figures. But this will be exciting to see enter the list of current products that are out there. In addition I think as a business this is an incredible move, I can only imagine how many times Chella and ZST has been used in the same conversation, with the addition of a 7” line, it now separates them from the Zombie comparison. |

All good points. It really moves them from one niche and opens them up to a couple more niches. I agree from the looks of things the evolution already from their first figure to dynamite and bull nakano show development. If they pull it off they deserve all the plaudits |

Too many people try to do podcasts, get sponsorships and get their clout on social media...Its best if you just stick to a reputable company for any orders.

I don’t keep updated on Chella Toys news so forgive me if this is old news, but Warhorse confirmed in indy wrestler Greg Irons’ podcast that he’s signed a deal with them.
