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. Nothing against these guys but the majority of them wouldn’t sell at all. Powers of Pain have to be an outlier to your statement, right? Please?! |

Can you share how the two Andre figures are performing against each other? Black more than blue. Which I think is obvious. Not surprised but I wasn’t sure if it would be close (60/40?). I’m not buying one to flip; just trying to decide between the two. If I change my mind later on, I imagine black strap Andre will be easier to find for resale. |

The skin tones look a little on the yellow side. I hope that can be corrected.

I had considered it but I’m opting to vote with my wallet on this one. Bedside manner can be important. |

I know this isn’t an official Major Pod thread, but, well, unofficially….
So I just finished watching the first full new Pod episode on YouTube. Thank you for posting for free online! The “visual aids” definitely help! Hate to be cheap, but as a father, I only carve out so much budget for my own play money, which I’m now mostly putting toward Big Rubber Guys! Thanks, Guys! Mattel may be doing the best modern style wrestling figs, and Zombie doing the best Hasbro/retro style. But you all are ruling the best era of all, The Golden Era! And I am sure that within the next 5 years other companies will be trying to imitate you.

And I just saw Kanik and Myers on the Fully Posable Podcast, nice episode! They showed off the upcoming British Bulldogs. Davey Boy can hold Matilda! Wow! I CANNOT WAIT to start getting this collection in hand (sorry Cardona and Myers, Golden Era only in my collection).

Who da  did he ever beat? |

For the record - as a Jannetty fan - he DID pin Shawn Michaels for the Intercontinental Championship, he also pinned Bastion Booger, Skinner, Repo Man, Papa Shango, Adam Bomb and Skip (the latter two at Survivor Series). He also was victorious by count-out over 1-2-3 Kid, Diesel. Then - with 1-2-3 Kid - he held the Tag Titles after beating the Quebecers.  |

Plus he was never pushed off the Raw stage while in a wheelchair and wearing a neck brace by Kane, playing damsel in distress to be saved by Cena! So he’s got that going for him too! |

Vintagefigs1 do you see this line ever getting to the point of figures being ready to ship or a shorter preorder window? Or will it stay the same made to order process to always gauge how much interest there is in a character?
It would seem from an outsider perspective the line is a hit and growing. Any insight on how it’s performing better or worse than expected for certain characters and how that changes things for future lineups or signings?

We intended the Bulldogs to be in stock for December but we had to make changes to the first prototypes and it delayed the process. Hopefully once Demolition hit, figs will be in hand every few months. |
