his Bundy looks more like Krang from TMNT

might as well wait for Mattel to do another Bundy rather than waste money on a figure that just looks bad compared to other lines

I knew he looked familiar. Yeah I'm gonna pass on Bundy. Maybe id buy a powertown version, id definitely buy a Mattel version, but ultimately I can live without him

The thing is, I don’t see Mattel/WWE getting him back anytime soon (though I hope I’m wrong). Plus, and I don’t recall if it was Bundy or One Man Gang, but Zombie said on an interview with Sam Roberts a while back that he’d signed one of them to an exclusive figure deal. Plus, to me, this is at least better than Bundy’s Mattel Legends figure. So may be our best option, for a while at least.

I think his legends figure is a hair better, it's just painfully expensive. As much as I'd like to have him he's not an absolute need for me at the moment, if zombie sailor turned out the Von Erichs, or Mil Mascaras, or some other territory names ive been begging for id be all over it, Bundy just isnt one of those names that makes me reach for my wallet

Is there somewhere to order the Pillman or has that ship sailed?

None of these have gone up for (pre)order yet, to my knowledge

might as well wait for the Elite, it'll be cheaper than this, and probably in your hands quicker

- Jeff Jarrett is an absolute must (I was actually watching this particular match Jeff had with Tatanka the other day ironically), fantastic gear choice - wouldn't be surprised if there's at least one variant down the line to maximise tooling costs and IP availability
- Abdullah The Butcher is another pick up have for me! PowerTown *may do him down the line, and I'll weigh up the options of who has done the better job
- King Kong Bundy is going to be a 50/50 - i don't mind how the figure is coming along, but agree that some tweaks to skull size and expression etc might drastically improve figure
- Brian Pillman is looking like a no-go for me. Zombie had a sketch out for a Pilman retro with the Liquid Blue t-shirt design included/featured, and that to me, is the more pressing look! If he swerves me, and does a 6" Pillman variant (which he could to maximise moulds etc) WITH that Liquid Blue T-Shirt design included - he's gotten my money and that's an auto order coming from my direction.

I'm sure they'll all cost an arm and a leg, but everything does these days. A bag of shredded cheese was $8 at Coles today in Australia....it doesn't surprise me independent figure companies charge a steep price point anymore.

I will gleefully shovel $8 cheese from Woolies while admiring the Pillman, if and when it ever shows up haha

I want a Raven and Sabu in that Pillman and Jarrett style but I dont see anything on their site other than those mini rubber looking figures my grandpa probably had.

Bendies? lol. I’m pretty sure that is all that is out there at the moment. ZST has yet to update when these 7 inch figures will be made available for pre-order/order. They were “coming in 2023.” But at least now we are seeing some progress and teases with Jarrett. Wouldn’t be shocked if that is his Black Friday surprise. Haven’t heard a word about Pillman but Mattel now has him under contract so you can always try waiting on them to release something. I could even see Mattel showing off something during Wrestlemania week.

A Raven figure in this style could be an absolute blockbuster. The retro style was very good so I image the 7in scale would be even more detailed.

I love the figures I've seen of Jarrett and Pillman but I already have versions of them so realistically I would just want Pillmans accessories but man a Raven with soft goods jacket, flannel around his waist, necklace and t shirt underneath the jacket or even soft goods shorts would be absolutely insane. I just found this thread and finally got to the final page, looks like there's been a loooooong wait for these. I hope to see more of these revealed. The likeness is incredible and the pinpoint accuracy of the attires are something I wish Mattel would do better.

Any news on price yet? That will be the deciding factor for me. These look “PowerTown good” to me, but I can’t justify much more than that for these.

Totally agree. Of the 4 shown, I really want the Abdullah the Butcher and Jarrett figures. I have the Mattel Bundy, and can wait for the Mattel Pillmans. If I get those two figures for $100 total I am there. That is my line for these.

[Ron Waffle]

Mattel showed their Hollywood Blondes Pillman today, I wonder if that will be prompt ZST to get a wriggle on?

I mean, it won't, but still...

[britishbrickfan]

gotta love how all of the delays he's suffered to date are of his own making

that Pillman, as well as the Jarrett, could have been in hands already, and in the time it's taken him from announcement to release, Mattel have already announced their new line of figures....

it wouldn't surprise me if we don't get a Loose Cannon figure in the MWN series, which would probably reduce the market for a ZST version significantly

[nomorexclusives]

Is this line still happening?

Probably. All indications point towards yes. As long as more wars don’t break out, 2025 looks promising.

Ackshully what he said was “Coming in 2023.” But given the amount of progress and promotion we have seen more recently, it seems more likely that at least Jarrett will be sold and make it to the hands of customers before the end of 2025.

Hopefully we can get a set of NWA Road Warriors by 2027.
