Relativity Worldwide - ANOTHER figure company?!?!?

[newgenandy]

I’ve not heard anything about the until MWFPod tweeted

This company is from former Remco VP of marketing and Greg Gagne and they will be doing the rougeau’s - not only Jacques and Raymond but also their great uncle, uncle, father and other brother.

No word on what style yet from what I can see

[Midnight: Dark Knight]

Was just about to post this too, my guess would be the classic remco style bodies. I cant believe another wrestling figure company has started. Not sure how many people are clamoring for anyone other than Jacques and raymond from the rougeau family either.

I have to plead ignorance to their relatives career but they’re not as notable as others from that time

We need to find some rich as hell 20-something to start a line so they will be Mattel/Jazwares style. Too many older gents starting lines all doing retro style stuff. I don't want retro style stuff!

This maybe that style - not confirmed yet from what I’ve seen

[Scott!]

If it's a Remco line, or inspired line, that's damn cool!

[newgenandy]

Those of you who have had the unfortunate pleasure of seeing some of my other posts know I bang in a lot about clear communication - announcing a line with no image, no indication of what the figure will look like isn’t a great start imo

There’s more posts saying “I hope it’s not x style” than there is positivity in social media already. Had they said what style there wouldn’t be that speculation.

Ironic given it’s remcos former vp of marketing involved

Have you seen Chella's Uncensored line? There hasn't been much new info on that line for a while, but they will be starting with Dynamite Kid and Sabu in that modern style. 

There's a thread with the designs here somewhere if you want to check it out.

This company was announced last September or maybe even earlier. This is the first update I’ve read though.

Here is the original press release I remember reading:

FT. LAUDERDALE, FL, UNITED STATES, September 14, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Original wrestling action figures were the rage of the ’80s, and now, thanks to the team that created them, they’re back. The team is offering new and exciting features and presenting ring personalities that have never been offered to collectors and fans before.

Almost 40 years ago, Steve Rosenthal, then Senior Vice-President of Marketing at Remco Toys, teamed up with the legendary wrestler Verne Gagne, who created the American Wrestling Association (AWA), to license and market AWA Wrestling action figures. Now Steve is back in the ring with Verne’s son Greg.

“I now have the distinct pleasure of capturing that same success with Verne’s son Greg and a huge selection of the greatest, iconic and legendary talent of professional wrestling,” said Steve Rosenthal, who now serves as Managing Partner of Relativity Worldwide LLC.

“Collectors and fans are going to be thrilled when they see our initial, limited edition exclusive wrestling figure offerings,” Rosenthal added.

“I’ve known Steve for a long time because of his working with my dad, and when he asked me to join him in creating a new entity, Relativity Worldwide, to bring to market legendary wrestlers, I jumped at the opportunity,” said former celebrated professional wrestler Greg Gagne. “I’m excited to be part of an effort to honor some of the iconic greats of professional wrestling and, in particular, the memory of my father, one of the pioneers of the sport. Over the years, I’ve spoken with scores of collectors who have been yearning for a collection just like this.”

I don't have high hopes for this, I'll be honest.

[Warriah']

I just wanted Mattel Rougeaus...

[Rasslin.Bros]

I really need some Hasbro/Retro-style Fabulous Rougeaus. I have all the WWF Hasbros and WCW Galoobs, but Remco (along with LJN) are just before the era I'm into.

[kiphouse]

Hannibal said there'll be a blood hunter fig in this line later this year

[oldschoolfool]

So it's safe to assume they're going to make a Verne figure.

Greg Gagne = fail

I'm the complete opposite. I think the Mattel/Jazwares style is total bollocks, I'd rather collect dust.

I'd personally love some new Galoob style figures.

[Di-Di-Dis-Distribution Problem]

Would buy Fabulous Bros in All American Boys gear.

But who on earth is buying that other shite??? Really niche stuff. The uncle, the cousin, the web toed stepsister…

[Ruby Fusion]

I think it's great to get a part of the Rougeau Dynasty: Eddie Auger, Johnny Rougeau, Jacques Rougeau Sr., Ray Rougeau, Jacques Rougeau Jr. and Armand Rougeau!

Curious how they'll turn out, wouldn't count on the Remco style: Zoloworld L.L.C. owns those molds...
