The ljn roadblock looks really good imo and it looks like it’ll fit right in with brg his concept art for the retro figures "looked really good" too so did his concept art for the monster figures, and the CVV figure, oh and the Winnie The Pooh figures......
pity he couldn't even deliver on any of those, and yet here he is, setting up yet another grift which will no doubt result in people paying their money in advance for something that won't even cost $1.50 to make  Truthfully, the renders for the retros didn’t actually look good at all. This is by far his best looking digital sculpt. |

He’s teasing NES Pro Wrestling Retros on his Instagram story. He’s lucky Nintendo hasn’t paid attention to those characters in years.

I'm glad to see them in the works. Perhaps something good did come from the figure recently up for pre-order. If that figure paves the way for others great, even if it is a figure I refuse to get. At the end of the day I want all these companies to be successful and if there is a figure that we don't like, just skip it. It's to bad I wont ever have the whole set, but that's ok. |

Are you talking about the WWE Hall of Famer Donald J. Trump figure? |

I have to keep myself from getting excited about the things I actually do like from him. Things move so slowly and he has so much on his place that I struggle to imagine these being produced. As much as I would love to buy them all, I can’t do it unless they are in stock. |

I think his Nosferatu looks great, but yeah... I won't be buying anything from this company/guy for the time being.

It would take years of consistent delivery to earn trust back and even then, there isn’t a single incentive imaginable that would get me to preorder. I would rather pick up anything special/extra from a reseller or third party. |

and I will not pay that man a single penny, unless there is a guarantee that the figure will A) look exactly like the renders, and B) it will be produced and in hand within a reasonable timeframe from ordering.
also, considering I'd be buying through AFC, I wouldn't pay Sal a penny anyway, but it's obvious these figures will not see the light of day for at least a year, if not longer
he could have actually invested his own money into making them and having them ready to ship right away, but hey.... he's a skinflint who uses his own Amazon packaging to ship products to consumers (when he's actually got a product to ship that is)

Rush went live last night, said CVV and Trump should be shipping out this month. so, where are the images of the finished product???
why isn't he showing off the actual final figures that people will (allegedly) receive?
he's shown the plastic samples (with absolutely no improvement on CVV's neck!) and yet he's still not showing the finished product. once again, grifters gonna grift

I assume he meant shipping from the factory to him. He had plastic test shots in hand so now they’ve just gotta be painted. He also already has the cards in hand. If there are no unforeseen hiccups, the turn around on Trump will have been extremely quick and we’ll all have to give him his props for that. |

He also said last night that the Xmas guarantee is absolutely true. it doesn’t sound that far fetched considering that they’re probably being painted as we speak. if they will be "in hand" by the end of October, he's got less than 20 days to get them finished, shipped from China to his apartment, and then start the process of manually putting together the cards, glueing the bubbles on, and posting them out to buyers.
this is a guy who took two years to get from preorder to actually shipping the figures out to buyers. and has he even finished shipping out his Shrek figures to folks yet???
it's not even base level incompetence, he's just incapable of delivering or meeting any timeline that he's ever quoted. and he's the only person coming up with these timeframes. no-one's received their Winnie The Poop figures either.....
