The prototypes of these look amazing. I'm sure quality will be scaled down when they are released but if it's close to the pics here, these will be great. Maybe we'll finally get a Gorgeous George figure

Just realized with a few alterations, this could pair well with the Rip and Zeus figures!

I wonder how far back they could go, there’s a small number of pics of the likes of Frank Gotch and Hackenschmidt floating around. It would be an absolute feat I’d guess to trace their estates but figures like that could be awesome

They just had a post on Twitter that they’ll have a big announcement on Friday. I wonder if this might be the start of the kickstarting?

They did indicate the only reason they were using Kickstarter was for the ease of the back end system So could be or possibly they might have their own website up and running for purchases Either way giving a go live date or announcing pre orders line on Friday is a good bet

I’m curious about the pricing on these and maybe a more updated estimate on when these could be in collectors hands. Either way I can’t wait to get a Stan Hansen in this scale finally.

Looks like they're teasing Bruiser Brody. Yes, please.

Just when I thought I was out of the 7" scale stuff.....the scope that this line has, for the older wrestling fan or someone who loves to learn more about the stars of yesteryear...is incredible. I've just been on a Bruiser Brody kick so this is really pulling at my heart strings! If they also branched out into the likes of Mil Mascaras, Abdullah and some of the mid 90's AJPW guys....I don't think I can say no to pre-ordering some of this stuff!

The Major guys broke the news that Brody is officially replacing Ted DiBiase.

Brody has been a huge want of mine for a while now, so I'm very happy he is the replacement. Can't wait to see a prototype! EDIT: Just saw the prototype on Major's IG. It looks great! I kind of wish the hair was a little more wild, but still, it's Brody!!

Damn, they need to start this thing up! I don't want to wait til 2024 for these lol. Looks like my Brody custom will be hitting the bricks for sure. That's a great sculpt.

Wouldn’t be surprised to see a Midsouth DiBiase from Mattel since a) PowerTown lost him, b) MidSouth Hansen is coming and c) R&B Hammer is coming soon from Mattel.

Brody looks great. I just wish they would get on with some actual details - ordering, price, timeline, how these actually look next to other lines.
You've got my attention. Now take my damn money.
