Someone mentioned Tunney won’t be up for sale until JUNE. Anything on Power & Glory?

If the price is in any way sane I’ll finally buy a zombie for that 6 inch Double J.

Are you looking for someone to explain to you why using sales tactics such as limiting quantities or timeframes in order to move product and then not honoring them might upset customers? A lot of the MWFP and ZST apologists on these boards only have a basic understanding of figs, they like them and buy them bc they are told to do so. The operations themselves can only go as far as Nassau Community Business 101 kept their attention for. They don’t have the capacity to understand long term implications or business ethics. dude I’m just trying to buy some wrestling figures. I really don’t give a crap how any of them run their business. Zombie has already proven numerous time to be nefarious, but it’s really not that big of a deal. Let them sell as many as they can.

Hakushi looks awesome. I'm not sure about the others - I guess I'd have to see more close-ups of the final products. The choice of wrestlers is really interesting, though, as I don't think Mattel would do any of these in retro form (even if they were able to, which I don't know anything about).

Same, I think Hakushi was the only real reveal that got my interest. Yeah, I don't know, I think it's a little out there on some. Personally I don't understand the following ECW has, and I grew up 45 minutes from Philly and was into it at the time. But, looking back now, I think it was crap and I hold next to no nostalgia for it, same with most things about the attitude era WWF. Now, WCW I hold many fond memories of, and they don't seem to get near as much love. And they were National/International far more successful than ECW ever was, so I don't understand why these companies besides now Epic doing a few, aren't giving it much attention.

Worth noting that ZST has deleted most of the comments calling out his decision to breach his own vault.
Will be interesting to see if he comments on this. If he does he will go the MWFP route for sure, specifically like they did on their Nasty Boys T-shirt and PWC.
The figure community has a short memory and is willing to overlook even the gravest of injustices.

Then the next FC Toys figures (Bagwell, Patriot) should be right up your street.

And they were National/International far more successful than ECW ever was, so I don't understand why these companies besides now Epic doing a few, aren't giving it much attention. I'm kind of the other way. I grew up with very little access to ECW barring school ground conversations with older kids who watched it and borrowed bootleg VHS tapes. Eventually I got cable, so could watch the, usually not as great as it should have been, hour of ECW on Bravo, the weird softcore and occasional Horror broadcasting channel. ECW was like the cool underground Punk band you heard about from other kids, imho. I thought it was great. I've still got some old VHS. When I went to the states for the first time, I bought up a bunch of ECW OSFTM figures and I'd only ever heard of them in rumours back in the UK, lol.

I was thinking more of putting Patriot with 97 WWF though.

I feel like having a Stars and Stripes variant of Marcus Bagwell to go with the Patriot is a missed opportunity considering the two were revealed together.

It’s been discussed but no decision has been made on WSW’s end as far as I know. I think there are a lot of great ideas waiting in the wings but a lot hinges on the success of the next series.

I'd also like a Buff in his NWO black tights with the brick design, I know they can't put the NWO logos on, but just in the style of the run would be great.

Who is ready for The Toddster!? I recommend swiping through the photos in “The Good” section for some bonus video content I came across that everyone here will enjoy! 360 VIEW: Todd Pettengillhttp://instagram.com/p/C5WBUeergwA The Good: http://instagram.com/p/C5WDt_3LLMK Talk about owning a piece of your childhood! This figure incapsulates pretty much everything about big event Todd! The neat hair, the tux, the ring, the playful expression. The arm articulation is really nice and I hope to see it in more figures (both arms?) going forward. The Bad: Wait time aside, there isn’t much going on with this figure. Yes, the arms are too long. And yes, the microphone looks too big.
I do wish this figure was a harder plastic. The jacket is very soft and almost feels removable. I didn’t want to play with it too much and cause an issue. Also, the feet seem to be of okay size but the stance/posture could be changed to prevent it from falling over. On a completely flat surface, Todd is fine. If it is something not flat then he can tip fairly easily.
So How Do They Measure Up?: I’ve decided to start putting the comparison photos with the back of the card posts as a little Easter egg. If you swipe through you’ll get to see how Todd holds up next to each major Retro figure maker. http://instagram.com/p/C5WArEPrsIE He feels a little undersized in hand but then looks good next to other Hasbros and Retros. I don’t think it’s waaay too small or anything but it sticks out a bit when he is on his own. I would rather have that than Mean Gene or Jimmy Hart who are oversized no matter where you place them. *Note that I am no longer including photos of figures from Rush* Final Verdict: Even though this arrived just a few days ago, I love seeing this figure on display! It is so nice to see him standing there with my new In Your House playset (which arrived the same day ironically). I would absolutely order a Mania/Action Zone version of Todd in a 90’s sweater. If this ends up being the only one we get, I’ll be happy with what I have.

Todd is a pretty cool figure; I didn’t end up getting it as I have a head by a great sculptor which I was going to use for a custom. Post some pics with your favourite mania/action zone sweaters and I’ll make my custom wearing one of them!
