If I remember correctly Buff and Patriot were part pf S4 and are shown on their IG acc. Add Crush and Vlad and you have the set. Whatever happened to the Killer Bees… Killer Bees were from Epic and more info on them is coming very soon. Crush will not be in Series 2 but he is almost certain to be part of Series 3. I have zero confirmation on this but I have the impression we might have Series 3 in hand this time next year with how well things are going. I cannot comment on which version of Crush is being done but I want you guys to know I am pushing for every version that can realistically be done and I am funneling your feedback directly back to Jack. Ok. 1. Demolition Crush as companion piece for the already released Demolition 2-pack 2. Kona Crush (face) 3. Kona Crush (heel) purple and red color variant 4. Kronik 2-pack  |

Crush is another one where it’s like I don’t NEED any more but hot damn if they can “fix” him being too short I’d buy a couple different ones haha
My picks would be Kona Crush in orange, Heel Crush in red and
Kronik 2 pack.

Can confirm that his height is going to be much improved. That is one thing that I really petitioned for and to his credit, Jack implemented the improvement. Crush was a legit big dude and his Hasbro would have been so much cooler if his size reflected that.

If it’s possible, they should just use the mold for the Powers of Pain legs - they’d be perfect for Crush. But not sure if they have any kind of working relationship with Epic or not. |

Friends of Wrestle-Something Wrestlers - a few quick updates:
-Referee Mike Chioda's first action figure ever is in stock & ready to rock! Both versions available, over 3/4 sold out on the limited classic card of Chioda
-Vlad is nearly done, under 2 weeks away. Just waiting for the carding & bubbles and final assembly.
-A mystery figure follows the same timeline as Vlad. This is one of the best kept secrets in toys, and I'm really proud of my team (always, but especially with this one)
-Patriot's arm failed the mold test. We're working on fixing/improving the arm so it doesn't hyper-extend too far backwards. This is an example of why it's good to NOT put figures up for pre-order.
-The first round of Buff Bagwell paint samples just arrived. Working on making some small adjustments then they'll be ready to show!
-Brian "Crush" Adams first prototype has been completed for WSW Series 3. It matches the height of the Hasbro Undertaker figure.
-Prototypes for Series 3 are completed!
-Making progress on Hardys!
-WSW Guard Rail Deluxe Packs of 25 are on their way to the United States! They are scaled with 4.5 inch figures in mind. Colors available: black, blue, and grey!
As you can see we have a lot in production! I've mentioned it before in some circles but an event in February lit a fire under my ass and its been go-go-go ever since. Still popping in here to read the feedback! Thanks everyone who supports our figures!

Based on the timing and Cardona putting Jack over, I’m going to guess that the mystery figure is Dusty Rhodes in street fight gear like the Major Bendie

Anyone have guesses as to who the mystery figure is? I really hope its someone we are missing from the hasbro timeline that hasn't been done. I was watching a SNME from November 89 today and its crazy no one has announced signing Lanny Poffo as the Genius yet. Such a great character and would fit in so well with the collections

Seemed like FC was doing more current and Epic more legends but the next FC wave with Buff and Patriot throws that out. Beverly Brothers would be a top pick. Lanny/Genius would be great too then. Terry Taylor(Red Rooster) but I think he still works for WWE. |

Shocked no one has announced the Beverly Brothers yet seems like a slam dunk |

Beverly Brothers were teased by Zombie but I could easily imagine Mitch getting them too. Wayne Bloom’s son was Von Wagner in NXT/WWE. It’s possible that Wayne (Beau Beverly) was holding out for a WWE offer or maybe not wanting to do anything that could impact his son’s career. Zero actual knowledge on my part. With his son no longer working there, I would say the chances are better now of seeing those figures made but I have no idea who - if anyone - has them signed.
I *think* the Poffo family was signed by PowerTown prior to Lanny’s passing.
Terry is still working for the WWE as far as I know and probably wouldn’t sign to another company. Things might be different with TKO so never say never.
I think one reason Dusty was made by the Major Pod could be due to Matt’s close personal friendship with Cody. That is only speculation but it doesn’t seem insane to talk business with a friend who could let you know the contract status of their beloved father. Help a friend, help your family, and help yourself all at the same time.

http://instagram.com/p/C_a-eVlRlnJ The painted sample looks even better than the artwork. I believe the drawing was done prior to the sculpting and such. As stated before, the figure will be closer to the size of the Undertaker Hasbro. |

Would love a chase version of heel Crush in red:  |

But I only wish he had press arms like Hasbro Sid, and wasn’t quite so similar to the Hasbro. |

Wow, so far that Crush looks amazing. This is my favorite version of Crush and will be glad to have it.
