the solution is simple - just don't preorder any more ZST figures and wait till they hit PWTs instead (which is where all of his figures go after he's sold the first wave of them) Or his multiple ‘restocks’ or whatever they are where he finds more figures funny how his stock never seems to sell out
it shouldn't surprise anyone when the "exclusive" orange card figures eventually turn up on blue cards too. the orange card gimmick is just his way to cash in on the trend, before he releases "regular" carded versions at a later stage.
with the TKO takeover and the rumours of talent releases, it would be something if after all of the delays and time wasted since he first announced it, if Johnny Gargano is released again before his figure is even manufactured and shipped

Hmmmmmmm.....think I might get this...yeah I agree too many braids but I like it, aren't Epic/Chella doing a 92 Bulldog?? That's the thing, choosing between 2 different companies. Kinda like Mattels Greg Valebtine and Epic Toys version. I like different things on both figures, shame we can't combine it into 1 single figure. |

I don’t pay attention to Heels and Faces anymore since I decided not to continue after series 1, but I randomly checked his Instagram this morning and series 2 still hasn’t arrived yet ? LOL
I feel like it’s been 2 years since he announced series 2! I’m sure it hasn’t been that long but Wow. These take forever

I like that Bulldog.
Maybe the best Bulldog in my eyes so far.

Kinda like Mattels Greg Valebtine and Epic Toys version. I like different things on both figures, shame we can't combine it into 1 single figure. So there are 4 bulldogs coming out that I know of (maybe even 7 or more). Epic has an 80’s era bulldog and an early-mid 90’s era bulldog: http://instagram.com/p/Cw2qApEskPa http://instagram.com/p/CbXXqA4sTJU Maybe Jamie from 3POA can chime in here because my memory is poor: Epic had also shown interest in producing 2 other Bulldogs seen here. Any idea if they still might do those? http://instagram.com/p/CYjhu6fsZ35 Grapplers and gimmicks have at least 2 coming out. There is the one that I posted as well as this one that was teased: http://instagram.com/p/Cw3e6PgOKI2 Additionally, Grapplers and Gimmicks might do a different paint scheme for this 2 pack (I’ll ask Mitch): http://instagram.com/p/CvC-XqHuoT6 |

Some of the characters were announced as far back as February 1, 2021 (and maybe even before that). The “final lineup” was announced in May of 2022. Preorders didn’t start until Late October 2022. |

I actually really like that, although the likeness isn't spot-on but I'll forgive that. Hopefully it's up for pre-order soon and I'll definitely be getting one. It's much better than the Chella/Epic prototype, although their likeness was a lot more accurate, the sculpt was shoddy. |

I reached out to Mitch a little bit ago and he said Bulldog and Diana will be separate (not a 2 pack).
He also said he wasn’t sure when the NYCC exclusive MoM would be going up for sale but he would post that information soon.

So strange as it was first announced as a UK exclusive 2-pack on the Majors exclusive thingy |

It's all so confusing, I sorta thought Mitch's bulldog was sorta a joint effort with TAFKAChella. Glad Mitch is making one though, I'd venture a guess his is likely to be way better than the TAFKAC version. I have yet to be very impressed with Chella stuff and they've been at this for at least a couple years now. I really hope somebody does a 95 Bulldog though, preferably Mitch. |

I'm a little surprised that Mattel haven't done a Bulldog yet, but I guess the low number they make every year makes it difficult to fit everyone in who deserves representation in the line.
My hope is that when Bulldog does make it to the Mattel line that he will be in the New Gen shorts and unbraided hair look - my guess is that the temptation will be to go straight for heel Bulldog or backwards towards SummerSlam '92, but a '94 return Bulldog would've happened very soon in the Hasbro line so I hope they focus on hitting that mark, and the shorts run (while it was brief) is ideal to represent that time.

According to ZST, they are expecting the cargo containers to dock on Saturday. Says preorders should get tracking numbers as early as next week.
Bastion Booger should be shipping after series 2. Comment section is filled with people asking about Johnny Gargano. I keep forgetting that figure was ever made/sold. My guess is that Booger was well into production before that. Those customers won’t see it in 2023 would be my guess.
