I'd pre-order a Raven in this style the second I see it is up....

Some of those must only be under contract for the Retro style figures, Danhausen has a Jazwares and others have figures from other companies.

Danhowser went into production before AEW. Other guys like Andre, Major Bros, etc have deals with multiple companies. Brody apparently is now exclusive to PowerTown so he may no longer under a deal with ZST. |

Surely the retro style Danhausen went prior to Jazwares, but this is a new figure....

In two years, he's only had 6 figures in hand. Call me very skeptical.

Interesting news. I haven't bought anything from ZST yet, so these will be my first purchase from them. I can't wait to see who else they have planned. There are a lot of names in their Retro series I'd love 6" figures of. I am in the same boat. I have never bought from a non-retail company before PowerTown, and this will most likely be my second time. Based on their list, I would be all in on Dino Bravo Kevin Sullivan One Man Gang Raven Slick Ricky Morton Robert Gibson Hercules Paul Roma and maybe Jack Tunney & Todd Pettingill Provided they fit in with Mattel/Jazwares/PowerTown |

If the figures turn out nice, and are close to Mattel's size, I wouldn't mind the chance to get figures that might not ever get one from WWE/Mattel. These from the list would be great to see: Dino Bravo Hercules - singles run Power & Glory Slick One Man Gang King Kong Bundy Jack Tunney These are not high on my list, but if they turned out nice, maybe: Kevin Sullivan Sabu Raven Earl Hebner Rock and Roll Express Brooklyn Brawler Mr. Hughes |

So they would absolutely have to scale with elites (i suppose gang & bundy could work even if they werent in scale). These I would probably buy regardless of if they're in scale: Road Warriors Tajiri Ultimo Dragon Andre...possibly, would have to be on point or really unique cause I feel there's enough Andre figures around at the moment. |

If I had to choose, I’d go with Double J, Pillman and LOD. That would be an Ultimate Wave 1 for me.

I know ZST has to scale, but he's hardly a proven commodity at this stage, yet he's already announcing other lines before he can deliver on the goods he's made available for pre-order
and he has the nerve to call out Chella for their Uncensored debacle  |

Cease and Desist from Berkshire Hathaway (Jazwares) incoming...
Ethan Page said recently the only reason companies can make retro style figs is because Jazwares do not make them. Jazwares do however have exclusive rights for 6" articulated figures. Jeff Jarrett is also now under contract so if the figs are still in pre-production as pictured he's just blown it LMAO!!

For wrestlers signed with AEW and ROH, yes. Double J would fall into that category. |

Tell that to Mattel making Billy Gunn and Jake Roberts figures. Not everyone in AEW are signed to merch deals. |

seriously Jazwares has "exclusivity" over a 6" action figure range? For wrestlers signed with AEW and ROH, yes. Double J would fall into that category. So the way it usual works from what I’ve gathered (but I’m far from an expert) is with big franchises there’s usually a ‘master license’ which has the usual big hitters (6” figures etc) but then the licensee can sell the license for other products to other companies. I.e. mattel have wwe master license - they produce the 6” figures, rings, accessories for said figures like the wrekkin stuff etc. however what they don’t have is the license for bobble heads, funko style statues etc etc which is why other companies make them. Similarly that company a few years back did a stone cold, kane, undertaker and HHH but they were different scale to what mattel gave the license to. So yeah, could be treading on toes here But then other licenses are far more complicated - I.e. turtles. From what I gather: Super 7 have the license to the previous toys Neca have the license for all screen shown (movie, tv etc) Then other companies put out other stuff So yeah, can be complicated |

I'll eat my hat if ZST gets a fully articulated, modern style Jeff Jarrett figure into collectors' hands in the next 361 days.
