So you blame Epic for not answering your question, then when people ask what was the question you only post a load of crap instead of the question o...k...

Relax, sunshine. The question was literally “where do I mail your Christmas card?”

I can see why it made you so upset that they did not answer. I thought it was something stupid like "if you could be a fruit, what fruit would you be?".

Didn't the Rockers ever have these designs on their lycra shorts.?

Not in those colors. The only splatter print they wore was on their WM6 attire, blue splatter print on yellow tights. 

Ill take these all day long if they make them.

It’s hard to picture them with a pose outside of the originals or their singles. I would love to see a Retro company devise a good way of creating a superkick action pose. Easier said than done but one can dream.

Always thought Tito Santana mold was the best we could get. TBF even the Mattel Ultimates and Elites look not perfect in Superkick pose…

Yeah good shout on tito having best leg pose for the superkick.
To be honest, I love the superkick action on the Mattel retro hbk - just wish it was in mid 90’s attire with boots and a head that resembles him!

Will be next month. Want to make sure DDP and hopefully series 3 are in hand first

[nomorexclusives]

The first post in this thread should include the lineup announced and to date like the hasstel and zombie sailor threads. Isnt there a way to do it even if the op is afk?

Luke and Kae already owned Wrestling Trader (an UK based online retailer for wrestling figures) and had been working with Chella Toys. The choice was made to re-brand Chella and call it "Epic Toys."

Get Mo out of there, already too many figures of him so not doing it now

Good job on the others

[@Chair.Shot]

No mo Mo.

[misterfigi]

I disagree. We do not need a Man on a Mission Mo, BUT I do need a Sir Mo to go with my King Mabel.

[Prophet of Ash]

I sincerely doubt Warhorse gets released at this point. He's been "signed" since the beginning but we've never even seen concept art and he's now changed his gimmick to a nihilism gimmick. He's no longer toyetic and barely pushes merch now

Wouldn’t sell enough to be worth doing with 3 other options out there

He was signed by Chella. Concept art was shown and is easy to find. But I agree the time has come and gone and his new gimmick would not endorse this figure. He will probably turn in a year or so as what he is doing now is leading nowhere and has already grown stale.

Bang!

I received an email last night saying that DDP is on his way.
