he's not produced ANYTHING so far other than 4 figures
and all of them have underwhelmed compared to the artwork he used to scam people into buying these abominations
I just feel sorry for anyone buying the Winnie the Pooh products
I think the Winnie stuff looks pretty good, if that's actually the quality of the final product that he's shown. That kind of stuff on a good card will be great display pieces, imo. Winnie's not my thing but I like his miniatures and his other monster stuff. His wrestling figures fall short, though. Only finished products we have seen have been the wrestling ones, the mini figures he did were actually quite good but anything that’s supposed to look like a human are just poor.

Anything non wrestling I'd be leaving on card so if he pumps out more monsters I'd potentially be game.

I was just reading about Larry Zybyzko -- and then was left wondering whatever happened to that figure -- and Rush...
Has he been heard from since?

Most of these figures fell apart when taken from the card and moved about a bit. Rush are/is still making still making stuff as far as I'm aware. His monsters are pretty good, but only if you're looking to keep them on card. I'd be cautious ordering anything from this outfit, though.

I was just reading about Larry Zybyzko -- and then was left wondering whatever happened to that figure -- and Rush... Has he been heard from since? Reviewed it when I first received it. It’s quite loose, skin color is off, and details are blurry. The good: The artwork of Larry was really well done. That to me is a very good example of finding a new way to pay tribute to something. ![](https://i.imgur.com/ZBjyPje.jpg) ![](https://i.imgur.com/pJ1zL5R.jpg) Packaging was sturdy and similar or the same as Grappler’s and Gimmicks. ![](https://i.imgur.com/LgnveIt.jpg) The pose of the figure is good and actually appears to be Hasbro-like. ![](https://i.imgur.com/ppgq9xl.jpg) The Bad: The package came with slight damage to the card: ![](https://i.imgur.com/puJFrxK.jpg) Larry has trouble standing sometimes. The figure looks blurry in person…maybe not as much as some of the photos but there is something about the lack of shading or something in the face that feels like it lacks definition. The skin tone is absolutely too light. ![](https://i.imgur.com/PG3gOWh.jpg) ![](https://i.imgur.com/jE0PAXJ.jpg) There are random paint spots that are in a few places. Usually not too big of a deal but this really sticks out on a very plain figure. Larry has one on his crotch, his back, and his nose (didn’t Khia do a song about that?). The chest hair actually look like scars. Also, the paint job on his head hair needs work. Scale-wise it’s a bit taller than most Hasbros and retro style figures. ![](https://i.imgur.com/m8D6Dwl.jpg) ![](https://i.imgur.com/aH6p24f.jpg) ![](https://i.imgur.com/dgE3RhX.jpg) Last but not least: this figure is fragile. The left seam did not look great right out of the package. ![](https://i.imgur.com/gLKwD3e.jpg) I started moving the figure around similarly to what Matt Cardona did and it became clear to me that any more pressure would have resulted in this thing falling apart in my hands. I know that these will primarily be set on a shelf and posed but none of the testing I did was out of the ordinary for anyone who wants to pose and display a figure. It was a simple articulation check that ended with the figure’s left side splitting apart and feeling like the rest of it could break at any moment. I hate saying all of that…hopefully this is a major lesson learned. http://instagram.com/p/CvdkEEmMjqZ

Larrys pretty bad. None of mine fell apart or anything. The accessory with roadblocks cool and the details on jonahs singlet are cool.

Yes -- sorry, I should have clarified.
I knew Larry came out -- but I remember there was all this drama that he said he hadn't been paid properly. I assumed Rush just never made anymore -- but was wondering if he ever squared things out, and he's actually trying to do his monster thing -- or he just realized it's probably too much negativity and ill will to come back from...

Sal claims they are good and that there was some kind of misunderstanding but I honestly don’t even remember what the reason/excuse was. I have my doubts about the monster thing moving forward. He had that preorder back on October 28, 2023 for Frankenstein. The last time he has really mentioned anything to do with that line was January 1, 2024.

http://instagram.com/p/C-BycIgMYWd All that I really got from it was that he is manually adding the trading cards as he assembles the figures, figures are going out this week and into next week, Europe will still be getting theirs via R&RC, and he printed something on the robes that is a secret and he doesn’t want to share. My only hope is that he had someone else proofread it first.

My only hope is that he had someone else proofread it first. looking forward to the social media posts of people sharing their long-awaited FERNCH ANGLE robed figures which is such "high quality" that he's personally glueing the bubble to the card, because there's no expense spent!
also, he's revealed the back of the robes on his story (for those still able to see it)
and he's still selling this as "Wave 1" so he clearly plans to continue this scam in the future
