Gangrel is a great addition Apart from that though and i’ve been incredibly positive about this line but some of the new signings and line ups are too indie heavy snd not those who should have had a but missed out - Chelsea, effy, gage etc - matt clearly likes doing figs of people he’s wrestled lol To add to that $200 for the signed ric flair is a bit much imo Agreed on Flair. I know a lot of the bigger stars are starting to charge in that neighborhood for autos, but still seems like a lot. As for the lineups, I'm torn. So, post the all-Podcast guys lineup one, these have been the main series announced releases: My World: 95 Jeff Jarrett, 98 Jeff Jarrett, Conrad Thompson S2: Nic Gage, Danhausen, Brian Pillman, Adam Bomb, S3: Chelsea Green, Effie, Colt Cabana, Gangrel (W/Chase) That's a pretty even split between older wrestlers who fit the Bendem period (both Jarretts, Pillman, Adam Bomb, both Gangrels) and modern indie/pod people (Conrad, Gage, Danhausen, Effie). Cabana is kind of middle ground to me. Obviously he's newer than the bender era, but since he's been around and a (to wrestling fans) big name for 20 years, I don't think he really counts a modern guy either. The difference comes more with the one-offs IMO: -Flair Last Match Signed Limited Edition -Danhausen Pandora’s Box Repaint -Smart Mark AEW Repaint -Cardona and Myers Major Moment Repaints -Johnny Gargano Now, some of these have been way more limited than others, but overall every announced figure outside the mainline releases has been a modern figure (and I'm not sayin that's bad per say, Gargano is an immediate purchase for me for example) , which is why I think the line feels like it's skewing that way even if the technical regular series are pretty evenly split. I just think it’s a hard sell on series 3. Up to then I agree it’s fair but it’s a niche line (bendies), with niche wrestlers (effy, Chelsea and cabana) I get each of them have their fans, but do their fans also have nostalgia for and or want them in bendie form? Considering how dedicated a lot of the pod fanbase is and people buy anything with the logo on these have hung around. I know on one of the episodes Bryan said they wanted people getting in on series 2, 3 etc to still be able to get series 1 but since Matt snd Bryan sets haven’t sold out II just think that series 3 is a hard sell. Chelsea has just had her own mattel not long ago, colt has had a few brawlers so it’s not like these are first time figs like say conrad I could be totally wrong but for me as an outside observer I do wonder who the target audience is. That said I hope the line does well for them

I saw the Conrad Thompson bendie on a Major vlog, and it truly looks fantastic. Unbelievably good

I just wish they would separately group the legends together for purchase instead of being mixed with the Indy guys I only want the Jarretts Adam bomb gangrel pillman and whatever other legends are being released.
I have no use for the other ones that you have to purchase just to get them, they don't fit anywhere in with my original bendems collection and I don't want to take the time to sell them off or look on eBay and pay double or triple the price just so I can get the figures I want
