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. Like I said on page 3 or 4...that dude is shady af. So far, everyone who has ordered has received their figures as far as I can tell, but that doesn't mean the way they're doing business is professional. I too, refuse to order figures like that and let Chella know directly to no response. |

Might be worth shooting them a message to raise your concern. I raised my concerns about the whole situation directly to Chella and showed documented proof of his unprofessionalism in the past. No response after many messages exchanged previously. They don't seem to care they're in business with a known con-artist. |

Chella is a two-man operation (well.... husband and wife combo) who haven't done this before, and clearly haven't got much experience of social media/marketing
I get that it's a small enterprise starting out, which I respect, but they clearly need a business plan that is much better than their current "Spray and pray" approach - they've announced they've got the Dynamite Kid as their next release, and that looks like it will be awesome, especially as the initial designs look like the Hasbro Bulldog, so the two should work alongside each othetr pretty well.
but why not take pre-orders as soon as you announce the figure? if you've already got preliminary artwork, and you set up pre-orders immediately, then you'll be able to gauge sales and have a clear plan of how many figures are in demand, meaning you could start with a 300 production volume, receive 300 figure pre-orders within a week and then up the volume to 500 to capture more demand
but they've announced the Dynamite Kid figure, yet haven't announced a pre-order/availability date so they're clearly missing some opportunities right there. they'd never make it through week 3 of The Apprentice!

Might as well order directly from chella, I thought the point was to save on shipping. |

I was lucky when receiving my Nick Aldis that they were still part of the EU, sadly I won't be so lucky from now on and will have to pay custom duties... |

For anyone interested, we’re running a competition with Chella and are giving away a MOC Mind of the Meanie set (when released) and a signed concept figure design poster by Tippy.
Completely free to enter over on twitter.
Much like our previous Nick Aldis comp, we’ll be running a lot more of these with Chella, including another one, once this Meanie comp has concluded.
Cheers, happy collecting and it’s great to see so many people supporting both Chella & Zombie.

Only ask as I imagine there’s far more figure collectors / customisers on there than Twitter... |

Luckily seas (or shipping costs or custom duties for that matter) can't stop my craving for wrestling figures: I've had figures from the U.S., Canada, Jamaica, Japan, Australia, the U.K., Ireland, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Germany and the Netherlands coming to me in Belgium. |

Could not agree more! I could buy 2 additional figures in my order everytime I order from Ringside with what I pay for shipping and also the custom charge I am hit with when the item actually arrives. But that’s collecting. If you want the product sometimes you have to go that extra mile as the above has detailed. |

Think you guys wanting hayabusa are gonna be disappointed, it’s a British company so It’s gonna be the Phoenix Jody Fleish surely?
