Chicago -- great review. I think this is BY FAR the closest a Zombie figure has gotten to a real Hasbro. The size issue seems to be the only one -- such a shame, but very few things are perfect

The size issue seems to be the only one -- such a shame, but very few things are perfect They better are. People tend to forget how expensive these figures are and that they are advertised as the best possible Retros today. I could agree if these were around 20, but they are more than twice the price. |

I just saw Arn Anderson is done with AEW,I hope zombie can sign him before Arn gets signed up with another promotion. A double A retro zombie style would be amazing Where did you read this? I've seen Brock Anderson is done but not Arn.
Just announced that Arn is getting a Bendie. Hope this means he is on the table for the retro companies. |

Got my Booger! Only took three days this time around for my order to ship after receiving the e-mail. I love the sculpt. All of the POA work as intended. Joints have a smoothness to them. If you compare it to Hasbros, it’s a bit undersized and the skin tone will not match. Will probably continue to display all of my Zombie figures together since I think they look their best and are best represented as a stand-alone line. Noticed more imperfections with Booger than Series 2. To the card and the paint job. Not anything major, but the little things do add up. I’m not a MOC collector, but if I was, the warped card would be a disappointment to some degree. If I were to pinpoint one thing that does bother me, it’s the paint chip on the back of the singlet near the right shoulder blade. I do think this is as good of a Booger figure as there will probably be made officially licensed in the Retro style. I wish he had more of a slovenly appearance, but it’s perfectly fine for what it is. Despite the minor issues, I would gladly order this figure again from Zombie. Click the spoiler tag below for pics: Thanks for the review! I see what you mean with him being too small. Tiny booger 😳 Bet he looks normal size next to Haku....🤣🤣🤣🤣 |

Arn would probably be wasted on Zombie. At least with Power & Glory they have shirts! What is Arn going to come with: a pair of scissors and a glock?

I’d much rather Arn as an LJN than a hasbro, his galoob is pretty spot on and fits with hasbros.

Just got my Bastion Booger in. Overall, super happy with it. Mine also has a bit of paint chipped in the same spot as Chicago’s but it’s not as bad. The size and skin tone aren’t bothering me, but I do wish he had some sculpted chest hair or something, like Hacksaw did.
This was one that I was pretty excited for. Hasbros and the New Gen go hand in hand for me so he’s going to fit in just fine on the shelf.

Got my Booger in today but my phone died while taking pictures of him. My card arrived badly warped around the entire area the figure sat in the package. it almost looks like water damage how warped it is. I'm a loose collector and card condition doesn't matter to me, but it was bad enough I noticed and did take pictures before opening in case the figure was damaged.
Luckily, my figure is fine. no scuffs or missing paint like some of the ones we've gotten. he is undersized, even next to other Zombie figures. I got Bundy in yesterday and Bundy is a full head taller than Booger.
When really looking the figure over, I noticed the copyright info is on the bottom of the foot instead of the butt like Hasbros. not a good or a bad thing, just a thing. this did however make me notice, starting with series 2 there's a Heels and Faces stamp on the foot that doesn't have copyright info. my Bundy has it and so does Booger but Bravo is missing it.
Will have some pictures up when my phone charges some

When Nelson Frazier was signed to G&G, it was touted as an exclusive signing so I’m wondering what the deal is with the ZST signing. Possibly as another character or style of figure? Or maybe it was just exclusive rights to produce the first retro through G&G?

G&G Mable was announced right after ZST announced Ahmed Johnson durig the G&G AJ preorder. Must have hurt sales. |

I ordered 2 boogers and this was my first order for figures not from Mattel. I was amazed at how great the figure was. The packaging was awesome and I'm so happy to have him in my collection. I just went and ordered Godwins, Duke and savio a few minutes ago. Mattel is missing out on money from collectors.

Grapplers and Gimmicks aren’t at the quality level as Heel’s and Faces but they display very nicely. Each company captures some of that Hasbro magic. Unfortunately, Mattel doesn’t have permission to make figures that WWE doesn’t have signed to legends deals. If they did, I’m sure we would get a lot of these names. |

My first time ordering with Zombie directly. I DMed him about Booger and he’s immediately testy with me. I was curious because it hasn’t shipped yet but a friend is getting his tomorrow so I just was looking for yeah it’ll go out soon or whatever. I did get that but I didn’t need to be told that I shouldn’t order from him again if I can’t wait or push me for a refund. Like hell, hire a social media manager if you can’t answer simple DMs without being hostile.

I think it's clear Zombie has a lot of anger issues; he does not treat people properly. Be glad you're not married to or dating the guy lol.
About Mattel leaving money on the table -- I think even if they had access to people like Booger, the Godwins, they'd still choose to do people like Ali and another Hogan first. I think it's a mistake, but it's their choice sadly

Just imagine your first date having dinner with him wearing his white gloves and talking about Kevin Costner all night. 😂 |

I feel like his figures and how he treats customer service and such is all fair game, but it feels a bit not cool to try and bring his loved ones into the conversation. Not trying to start something, but just thought it should be said. |
