I also thought "Who the heck is Joey Knight?" -- After 10 minutes looking him up, I STILL don't know the answer!
But I hope he is successful with these. Good for him for making them!

Haha no, but am Facebook friends and our podcast has interviewed him. My first words when I first heard of the figure were "Who the is this guy?!" But he's a really nice bloke. I've pre ordered 2 of each figure lol Semtex you’re in the U.K. right? How much did it work out with postage? I didn’t know of him until recently when he commented/followed my customs ig page; but like you said, seems like a good guy & id like to support him. I put in a pre-order for the pink one and just got quoted £18.95.

Not going to lie, I love chella and some of the figures. As a Completest I bought Aldis Meanie 2 pack (even though I don’t know shernoff) Ethan page Haybusa Dynamite Bull Was planning on getting -Haystack (even though I don’t know him) -Adam bomb (even though I already have a good bomb) Big daddy (again don’t know) Joey knight (again don’t know) And would of bought whoever else came out Now as someone who needs everything’s, I was on board with paying hundred of dollars for figures of guys I don’t even know. That was until this week. The company released 5 nick aldis variants. I was kinda pissed that I now needed 5 variants, but sure enough I ordered 4 of them and was planning on buying the 5th. The next day I was planning on buying this “Joey knight” (again I have no idea who he is) to my surprise there is 3 version of this. Furious is an understatement, I’ve decided that instead of buying these . I’m officially out. I can’t support a company that try’s to sucker you in with multiple color variations for no good reason. It’s sad cause I liked some of there figures , with that being said. I’ll be listing some of this figures as they arrive … Jesus. “Here’s a load of attire choices” “I’m out”

He is a Canadian indies wrestler from the late 90s/early 2000s. His claim to fame was appearing at wrestlemania 23 and getting paid by Donald Trump to get his head shaved to test out equipment.

I had no idea who he was, but judging by the way pre-orders are going they're being made to order so there really isn't need to be a dick about not knowing who he is.

Joey was a good sport about it though

I'm not all in with Zombie, but I'm really excited about what we've seen so far. I ordered Sabu, Earl, Dino, and Jarrett. I need 3 of Raven because it's Raven, and I'll get Brody and Bundy as well for Series 2. I'm also super pumped for Todd Pettengill, RVD and Fonzie. I'm actually happy the way he's doing it. A mix of guys like Cardona and Myers with more Hasbro era guys I do want helps stagger the spending. I hope that continues. Can't wait to see Raven.

Props to the guy, honestly. I hope he sells a lot!!!

Rudat’s clearly phoning this in lol. Quality of these sketches v the original hasbro we have seen is way down

Do we know for certain that ZST doesn't have Rudat in some sort of Misery situation?

RVD looks to fit in 100% with original Hasbros. They were all oversized muscles and short legs.

RVD looks to fit in 100% with original Hasbros. They were all oversized muscles and short legs. It’s not the muscles but the length of the arms. Flip those arms down and his hand is level with his knee, with his arms bent. Straight arms would be touching the floor while he is standing upright. The proportions don’t need to be spot on but that’s comically off

Bicep is too long. Hopefully that’s dialed back on the sculpt. Love that it’s RVD from Hardcore Revolution. Hopefully we get Jerry Lynn too.
