Few things on series 3 from an email from Zombie: - One Man Gang sold 3,500 from his 4 day run in January and theres allegedly 500 remaining - Jack Tunney is said to have the lowest production run, not sure if that means there's less than 500 remaining or not - Power and Glory should be arriving any day as stated
I'll be getting Power and Glory and Slick myself which im excited for

I took the lowest production run to mean fewer than anyone else in series 3 and OMG had (from your numbers) at least 4,000 made. I’m guessing Jack is more than 500. If there were only 500, ZST would be pushing it harder as a rare/extremely limited item one would think.

I thought he claimed months ago ALL of series 3 was already in hand and he was only holding off on putting them up for sale to focus on getting back orders completed first?

I thought he claimed months ago ALL of series 3 was already in hand and he was only holding off on putting them up for sale to focus on getting back orders completed first? He did say that. They all came in and once the pre orders all shipped he would put them up for sale. Even the website says they are IN STOCK & READY TO SHIP. I do not know how that changed to will be arriving any day now.

Is this the same One Man Gang figure that was released a while back? Or is there something slightly different?

I imagine the delay for series 3 going on sale has been the lack of P&G. ZST got word that they shipped and did his math for their arrival to coincide with a 6/20 sale date. As time got closer, P&G did not, so he sent that “casual” email about how they are on the way so he would have a paper trail saying they weren’t here yet. What else has a paper trail is over a dozen social media posts saying the “entire” series 3 is in stock and ready to ship including individual posts for Herc and Roma.
Thursday is a big day for the ZST brand. It’s a great series, hopefully prices are same as they have been.
If P&G aren’t here Thursday will MWFP and wFigs ops STILL play pr damage control or will they FINALLY hold Josh accountable and gets REAL answers?

I don't really want One Man Gang and I'm satisfied with the white Slick I already have. If Power & Glory isn't in hand and ready to ship, I probably won't be ordering at all on Thursday. I want Tunney, but I do not trust Zombie at all with preorders

Despite his questionable promotion tactics, prickly nature with customers and apparent rough understanding of production, shipping and delivery lead times, ZST has produced quite an impressive looking run of Retro style figures there! To me, you can really see the difference and upgrade in intricate detail (especially in the faces) from Series 1 to everything else. Everyone will have their own opinion as to whether these are like Hasbros at all, the evolution of what Hasbros would have become had they continued to the modern day, or a line inspired from, but completely different than Hasbros, but to me the Heels And Faces output stands head and shoulders above what the original Chella leadership, Hasttel or RUSH produce/had produced. Each to their own, but with Epic having significantly lifted their game with the recent ownership change, I think it's a two horse race in this Retro space at the moment, and simply a preference to what you prefer the look of, or prefer the talent signed. Can't wait to see where the line goes in a couple of years time....Series 5 hopefully! couldn't agree more!!! ZST and Epic are bringing it

There was some mixed wording posted somewhere about “No pre order. These will ship fast.” That only works for both statements if all figures are in stock. Hopefully that gets resolved in time but as we all know, cargo ships/receiving containers can be slightly unpredictable.

He’s got pics of Roma and Hercules production figs in his IG Story. Herc’s teeth are atrocious but hopefully in person they’ll be small enough not to really notice

Saw some pics posted in a group. If anyone feels like speculating, you can see loose Flair and Candido which might be finished. Definitely not an unintentional shot. The Hercules and Roma figures appear to be in hand (or at least some) as he is using the same backdrop that he did on June 10th. What should be noted is that Hakushi is in one of the shots.

ZST removed the “IN STOCK & READY TO SHIP” graphic for his latest social post. It had been used on ALL previously posted Series 3 marketing.

Im not against it with retros. Mattel doing it from the jump is ridiculous tho; what they get away with and still have people clamor for is wild. But Zombie hyping details and then doing stuff like that is pretty backwards for lack of a better term
