ZombieSailor is missing a trick to make it really easy for him for European distribution - someone like blocked.com would LOVE to buy these in bulk as a distributor, and then handle the onward sales (he's not losing out on profit, if he's selling a bulk load to a committed buyer at once)

I am from the UK and I completely understand why getting these distributed over here would be a huge headache for a smaller company. Would I love to purchase some of these? Of course I would, but I am still having a lot of fun just looking in on all this stuff from afar as it is truly awesome and exciting. Best of luck to the guy, he seems to be doing all he can to make it a success and he sure as hell has a better idea of what he is doing than Mattel did with their retros.
The dream figures for me would be ones that I wanted as a kid,
The Orient Express (Kato and Tanaka)
The Barbarian
The Beverly Brothers
Power & Glory
these (along with Dino Bravo) are the guys that I wished I had for my figure federation when i was a kid, especially The Orient Express.

Agreed on all. A matching Warlord would be the cherry on the cake. |

Gangrel would be amazing! If it’s Mordecai, even though it’s a failed gimmick, I’mma lose my mind. LoL

Looks like Danhausen has signed on. Not a fan of his work at all but it's cool for people who want more current guys in this style I guess. I'll definitely buy Cardona and Myers because they look incredible but unless we get someone like Mance Warner I doubt I'll bother with other current names. Looking forward to seeing what legends have signed on. Yeah that'll be a no from me lmao. Cardona and Myers are the only two post-Hasbro era guys I'll be happy to grab. I feel that, I don't want modern guys. But, I'd also buy Swoggle, Heath, Ziggler etc...friends of the pod. |

Umm...you do realize these are resin prototypes and once steel molds are created the plastic that comes out of that said mold shrinks by 5%...on top of that, the factories scale down or enlarge the molds to ANY size needed, therefore we can and will make these in scale with Hasbros, don’t be so quick to judge, brother. ZS It looks a lot bigger than 5% to me -- but I'm very happy to hear you can shrink them. Appreciate you writing -- and I'm more than happy to wait for the final molds. If they do match the Hasbros in size, material (the Hasbro sheen), I'll def. be picking up Sabu
Maybe it looks much bigger in this picture because of the angle and positioning? They looked fine and in scale when they were shown next to Warrior and Borga. |

I’m all in for these. I actually just sold my last retro today because in comparison, the Mattel Retros look like Happy Meal toys. Would love to see some MEGA names. Bret and Anvil Hart Foundation would be great. Owen would be so good too. Would also like to see an updated Demolition. But loving what I’m seeing so far.

I have been strongly considering selling my retros too. I already sold Diesel because it looked like fake Diesel and he was going for a fair bit when I sold. I think I'd find it difficult to part with the purple Taker which is the only reason why I've held on until now. |

This is it, yeah, but the dude you quoted has had continual bad takes about these. I think the Mattel Retros broke a lot of people's brains and convinced them that the Hasbro figures were these generic Fisher Price esque blobs when if you look at those figures---especially the Warriors---they're very detailed figures. There was a lot of sculpting detail put into those figures and it's clear that it wasn't carried over onto Mattel's cash grab but it absolutely is being carried over onto these. I have been strongly considering selling my retros too. I already sold Diesel because it looked like fake Diesel and he was going for a fair bit when I sold. Don't even get me started on how much I  ing hate that Diesel figure. |

I'd probably keep the Taker figure, doubt Zombie will be able to make one as I think Taker is still licensed by WWE/Mattel. And, that Taker figure was well done, one of the better ones from the Retro line. |
