I received shipping notice earlier this morning from ZST for S2.

Can I ask your order number? Still heard nothing on mine.

So are heels & faces still not being sold/shipped to the U.K.?
Had a look to see how much the Booger would cost, but it said he doesn’t ship to U.K.

Weird.

Strange.

Im UK-based and ordered series 1, Double J and Booger.

He opened a small window for overseas orders

...then proceed to mess up the shipping cost, ask for more money then cancel orders.

Listened to the MWFP today and heard there will be a Smart Mark variant.

Just got my shipping notification, my Raven should be here Saturday.

After a busy week, I finally had time to sit down and get my hands on G&G’s Mabel and Mo (or Nelson and Bobby). Here are the standard pics with a far more in depth review below:

The Good:

SPOILER: Click to show

These figures honestly are some of my favorite post-Hasbro figures ever produced. Are the perfect? No. But they really capture the spirit of the original Hasbro figures. Closer than anyone else thus far. They feel fairly solid, have no problems standing, and display nicely in scale with other figures. The packaging design is nice but I would like some consistency moving forward. Had these been gold, they would have been a 21 out of 10!

The Bad:

SPOILER: Click to show

Moving past that, the packaging needed some work. Full disclosure: I bought these from Mitch as opened figures so I wasn’t expecting them to be MOC. My package came damaged so I can’t say for certain if any of the backing was damaged as a result.


That said, I do save the cardbacks so I wasn’t thrilled about the bends and wrinkles. The bubbles were fine although one of the figure’s bubble didn’t quite match with the card (I think it was taken from a different card).



Somewhat nitpicking- there are a number of flaws in the molding and paint. Most are only noticeable closeup but I hope to see less of this in the future. Here are some examples:





Something I didn’t get the best shot of was the separation of Mo’s torso. There isn’t a huge gap BUT the gap is far more noticeable at times due to use of a yellow torso on a darker skin tone. This again is a very minor thing but it is a flaw that could be fixed in the future with minimal cost/effort.

So How Do They Measure Up?

SPOILER: Click to show

Overall, I’m very happy with the overall size, weight, and very importantly shape of these figures. The Grapplers and. Gimmicks team nailed Mabel.





Mo is still great. No real complaints about his size or look…but let’s be honest: he was just an accessory for Mabel!

How Much Does This Guy Weigh!?!

SPOILER: Click to show

I took other “giants” and weighed them to give a good idea of how true to form this figure is:

Final Verdict

Ultimately these figures are hard to top despite their minor flaws. I hope that others are able to add them to their collection and that Mitch does another run (in gold this time!). They will be taking the places of the original style orange card custom figures I purchased around 5 years ago. Great work hastteltoy

Who made that incredible USA Lex Luger?

I just put a Max Moon in my cart and with shipping it's going to be $57. I'm going to have to think real hard if I want to spend $57 on this figure, when there aren't many original run Hasbros I spent that on.

Mantaur arguably needed the entrance garb, but if it would've driven the price down by $15, I would've been okay with no vest/gauntlets on Moon. it just covers the deco anyways

My thoughts too, I don't like the way the extra gear looks, I'd display w/out it anyway too, may even toss it. Think it would look better for MOC collectors too w/out it.

With OMG in stock… really hoping power and glory and slick are soon available!!!!

Yeah, Power and Glory is my biggest want out of anything he's got coming. Wish they were a 2 pack though. Also think molded shirts would be much better than the soft goods.

Those were all done by this guy. I’m not sure he is active any more…I bought a good amount from him. Pretty good quality overall. Enjoy looking around at his amazing work:

Kind is wish I had pulled the trigger on the H+F S2 preorder but with the cost of international shipping and the uncertainty around it I didn’t bother. Hoping they show up for sale at some stage tho. Do you guys think Zombie will have ‘overstock’ Iike S1, or is there another retailer gonna stock them?

Rock and Roll Collectables has Danhausen for sale for around £40+, which I wouldn't pay a tenner for, frankly. Other than that, eBay has various figures from ZST for anywhere between £40-£60.

[habrofan83]

I didn’t get a response when I messaged and asked if he had any available (I understand he must be busy). I was able to purchase Bobby “mo” horn on eBay (uk) and now on the lookout for Nelson “mabel” Frazier

[@Chair.Shot]

My tracking updated to Tuesday. Hoping to have full in depth reviews to post next week.

ZST also announced the Gage/Cardona 2 Pack will be for sale in November.

Who made that incredible USA Lex Luger?

Sedge_hasbrocustoms on Instagram. His original account was hacked.

He doesn’t seem very active lately. But I bought some of his figs too (including Luger).

Honestly the only way to actually expand the hasbro collection in a uniform fashion. His stuff is basically perfect. Much better than anything any of these companies are doing. Better than mattel retros too.

I've been saying for a while, if I'm in a company putting out retro wrestling figures...I'm hiring Sedgwick.

Wish he was more active online. His work is incredible.
