I like how they have not been lazy and used totally different bodies for each, I have taken the jump but im worried that if the Zombie sailor toys are released in the uk i will be bankrupt too i really the the Sabu on that.

Are there pictures of these online?
Chella Toys website, Chella's twitter account or Google "Mind of the Meanie".
Meanie is a pass for me -- he looks like a sculpted statue and doesn't have the right texture. But I just saw the Ethan Page -- and that body is PERFECT. The head's just a little too big -- but hopefully they keep improving

Personally, I’m so intrigued about the future and potential of Chella.
Off the bat I’ll say I don’t work for them, but have opted to work with them as I state in my previous post.
It’s great to see Charles & Ella giving this a go, they really want to make it work and are treating this as a business, not a hobby project. Whilst they aren’t diehard Hasbro collectors etc, they understand the fundamentals of business and have sourced some fantastic people to bring the business to life.
I love that they are using local, un-established artists who are now being recognised for their talents, and are receiving other opportunities.
Figures aside, the quality of the card, design and bubbles are much higher quality than I initially expected. They’ve been on our show a couple of times now and based on our chats, it’s great to hear about future aspirations and concepts in mind.
Both Chella, along with ZST can only be good things for collectors. I’m a fan of both and will support both as much as possible. ZST has got Matt & co supporting & promoting which is great, and I hope Chella manage to find the opportunity to work with someone of equal measure in the near future.
Collecting has become fun again for me.

Collecting has become fun again for me. Yeah, I completely agree. I had had loose plans/ dreams to have a go at something like this myself; but it wouldn’t have been ‘legit’/officially licensed as I have no wrestler contacts. Doesn’t seem like any point now though 😂 But I hope they can both continue to succeed - the retros got me in to collecting as an add on to the hasbros I’ve got from when I was a kid. |

Finally received my aldis and the card is better quality than any independent toy I’ve ever seen. It rivals the best professional packaging around today.

I just wish it wasn't significantly bigger than Hasbro carding so we could actually comfortably put it in protectors. I had to trim mine to get it into one. |

I absolutely agree and said as much to Charles on the podcast. I truly think it’s better than some mainstream manufacturers, let alone independent. High grade, quality thickness, good gloss, well printed, nice design and to the point. It’s spot on. |

What an afternoon for figure reveals:
One minute it’s Chella with Dynamite Kid, and not long after it’s the Zombie Sailor with Dino Bravo!
My inner child is getting very excited.
And cool to see that the Dynamite Kid design seems to use the same upper body as my custom Dynamite (Goldberg retro) - but I used Bulldog legs out of laziness rather than Austin retro legs 😂

LoL. It looks great and I’m really excited to get a Dynamite Kid! |

I feel like every sculpt of his head has been a little off somehow; even on all the video games I’ve played over the years, never seen a created character that looks just like him. |

Not to steal Chella's thunder but another company also announced a Dynamite Kid figure today too, Junkshop Dog in Australia who do Popy inspired figures, they released a Bruiser Brody a few months ago (all authorised by the families)

For those interested, we did a fun interview with Brian Tipping (Chella Toys & NERDS figures designer). We talk about collecting, customs and designing figures with the companies above. We have some competitions lined up with Chella, which we’ll be announcing soon.

Has anyone ordered from JB toys? I DMd him but he wants payment friends & family to avoid fees. I feel like if he's a "Distributor" for another company he should set up shop as equally professional as the company he's distributing. I really want all these figures specifically Nick Aldis, Ethan Page & the new Davey Boy but refuse to do business like this. I hope he opens up an online shop and get his pricing set or chella finds a new US distributor.

Might be worth shooting them a message to raise your concern. |
