Man really love what Chella is doing. The product has evolved so much in such a short span of time. I don’t mind that head is removable, I think it’s a cool addition. I was shocked that the exclusive was Al as I thought it would be a repaint but must say what a signing. Chella is actually coving ECW guys really well.

I like the al snow but head shouldn’t be removable The ‘retro’ in wrestling figures is a by-word for hasbro How many hasbros had removable accessories? Taker was designed with the urn but it never materialised with the figure, model didn’t have arrogance, no briefcase for irs etc etc. Doing removable accessories / interchangeable heads etc imo takes away from what the lines are to replicate Hasbro’s that had removable accessories, that I can think of: Bossman w/ nightstick, the Mounty w/ cattleprod, Hacksaw w/ 2x4 (second one had a flag iirc), Beefcake had the shears, Demolition had masks, Bushwhackers had hats, Honky Tonk Man had a guitar, Jake Roberts had a snake, Macho King with crown and scepter. Not being a jerk, just pointing out that removable weapons aren’t outside the blueprints set by OG releases. No your spot on I think things like LOD having non removable spikes, undertakers / akeems hat being non removable + my kids not having any of the accessories with mine makes me forget but your right, there were quite a few |

How has nobody scooped up hawk n animal for new retros. Animal used to own the rights for both of them. Jannetty seems like a no brainer too that i would think would be ridiculously easy to sign. I remember aldis telling the creator of retromania that he could hook them up with harleys estate. Thatd be an amazing retro

It looks fantastic, think I’ll be getting this one too. I’ve heard so many stories from my gran and papa about my papas auntie and uncle sitting on a Saturday watching Big Daddy so for pure nostalgia I think I’ll buy it. It looks brilliant, can’t wait to see carded pictures!

Ordered Hayabusa off of Chellas website tonight, and also got a Nick Aldis on eBay for £30 delivered. Happy with getting those two, definitely gonna be up for 9am here on Sunday to get my Pre-Order in for the Giant Haystacks variant on Sunday fingers crossed.

It's a 7 day pre order window so won't sell out, you'll just have to make sure you order in those 7 days and you'll be good.

I feel some things definitely got lost in transition with bull from design to end product, because they did. The hairs color is darker and nowhere near as high. The likeness is lost somewhat as well. It just doesnt look like her. I think maybe it looks chubbier in the face perhaps, as well the eyes are either further apart or the eyebrows dont come in as close as they should. Regardless, i have one coming and am still excited..

Can you post the design? I thought it looked good -- but pretty masculine...

I ordered Bull last night, I'm pretty stoked it's shipping this month and I think it looks great. Up at 9 for the Giant Haystacks pre-order. Haven't done this pre-order/anticipation for release thing in years since I'm mostly a Jakks collector but it's pretty exciting.

Me too. Absolutely smoothless.
Regarding the Bull Nakano figure, I am a little disappointed from the final product aswell. Looks like a step back from the Hayabusa figure. I hope the Hayabusa quality will be the standard.
Nakano figure looks more like Jazzy Gabert if anyone remembers the Alpha Female from her short NXT run.

I think the biggest issue I see from Nakano is the chest. It doesn't look like breasts, it looks like large pecs. Maybe it's just me though.
