According to that interview they did, they’re doing one figure at a time and doing a set number of units. So call it 500 of one, sell it, when it’s gone it’s onto the next. So not sure they’re doing an actual series count unless they do it like Chella where the first 6 are just series one for the sake of it. I was there live the night Billy Corgan hit Lou E with the guitar. I’d like a Lou for that reason alone. So hopefully they plan to do both versions. I think they will judging by the suit coat. Sign Guy is pretty surprising to me, eyebrow raising really, but then, they’ve been all over the place so far. |

If I was a Matt Cardona fan... The 3000 figures he's got coming out would really thrill me. Seriously, though, is this line just valets, audience members and the Major Pod guys?

I think there is a very good chance he is headed back to WWE…so he might be signing as many deals as he can, while he still can. Smart business move if true. But I agree with others - it isn’t a desirable figure for the line/ECW collectors. The drawings looks great though. |

I’m just totally soured on the way all of these companies are conducting business; crowd funding disguised as preorders, even Mattel and Hasbro are guilty now…seems no one has any confidence in their own product to take on the risk, I would really like to add at least 4 of these (CW, Sabu, Mikey, Simon) to my OSFTM collection, but I’ll never allow a company to hold my money for 12-18 months based solely on a promise…I guess if and when they’re released, and I like the finished product, I’ll have no choice but to pay a premium on the secondary market to get them…guess I’m old, but I miss the way retail used to be…

But yeah I agree, I'll just pay the premium later! |

Rush did a fantastic video/q&a. Seems like a very normal guy, fan of wrestling, doing big things. My only problem is he said over and over how none of the sublines hinder other lines. I still agree to disagree. Put out a proven quality product, focus on one scale, get it in collectors hands and then once you have a following and loyalty, test the waters for sublines. 3-4 different scales and lines with only drawings sours your hardcore audience which is what you are catering to and relying on in the first place.

He's obviously blinded by his own product. Way too many lines and literally nothing in hand. This "extreme" retro line is shaping up to be about as extreme as cottage cheese, by the way. Who on earth is picking the names? |

I honestly think that Rush need to get a figure in hand before I believe them that they'll actually come through with all these promised figure lines. I'm not saying by any means that they might be dodgy, but promoting all these different lines on a promise to get your money is not something I'm down with.

I just provided a possible reason why he might have done a 180. |
