This line is wonderful, hopefully in its infancy, and my hope also is will get to the WWF’s of the era who never got an LJN. My guess is they want to keep going with the biggest names first to hook people and create buzz. Still, Powers of Pain would fit both- a first timer plus big names (to us, anyways). You’re exactly right. We need to create buzz and awareness. You do that with names like Macho Man. Not Bad News Brown. And I want Bad News in the line! I want to complete the LJNs (the ones we legally can). We got some great names in mine for 2024. Some have been LJNs before, some haven’t. It’s the way to give this line longevity. If all goes according to plan, Feb Pre-orders is 2 new characters and I hope will blow your minds! Any chance of a Macho King era figure? Some of his longer tights looks would be great for this line. But if you are staying in the 80s, this look would be great:  |

Yeah, looks good. I wonder if these will have chases, too. I could see the pale blue trunks or the blue and white trunks, both would be great to get. My only suggestion would be switching the pose for Davey Boy, have the bicep pose on the right arm/side, that's how he positioned the opponents when performing the running power slam.  |

Yeah, the right eye for Dynamite looks a little lower than the left, but otherwise these are fantastic! |

MoonDogs, Powers of Pain, Steve Lombardi, Brooklyn Brawler, Iron Mike Sharpe, Conquistadors, all guys that were relevant on wrestling challenge and Superstars that LJN didn't produce. The guy who used to own Reds Pool store in NY claimed that Lombardi and the MoonDogs were in the works from LJN.

These are hand painted resin prototypes. Paint jobs are sloppy and will not be like that for final production. Our resin prototypes are not for painting purposes. It's to approve the sculpt to go into the mold production phase. When the mold is created the factory will do a rubber pre-production sample. This is also hand painted but this is done much better and will feature all the paint applications. Once that gets approved theres another pre-production sample thats made thats not hand painted. That is the clean cut final product. Then when that gets approved it's full on production. Basically what I'm saying is, don't judge these paint applications lol.

So the lazy eye on Dynamite is because of the painting but the mold is good Or will you have to look into the sculpt? Just asking out of curiosity concerning the process. |

Interesting. Hopefully they will do a Macho King at some point. |

My only suggestion would be switching the pose for Davey Boy, have the bicep pose on the right arm/side, that's how he positioned the opponents when performing the running power slam. Cool idea but it’s not supposed to be his power slam. It’s based off a photo where he’s holding Matilda. Did Davey even do the Powerslam regularly in the tag team days? |
