Finally listened to most of the ZST interview with Sam Roberts. I am not sure if these things were covered or not:
The ring has been scrapped for now. He said the cost would be too high/juice wasn’t worth the squeeze.
In October they will unveil some “spooky” movie property figures.
Bruce Lee will have 3 more figures available soon (apparently shown on the back of the packaging).
Road Warriors have no release date in mind. Their pads have been a big hang up. Even after getting the style and detail correct, they had issues with the spikes and straps breaking when tested in packaging.
The Hasbro poses were brought up but not pressed. Josh said it was a “case by case basis” for which figure got which style/pose.

I just got my Power and Glory. Amazing figures. I was worried that Hercules teeth would look real bad but they are okay. I was not aware that they would have hands that spin too which is fun. Great addition to my retro tag team collection. Most of the figures have had hand “articulation” so he can reuse the arm molds, which is smart. Hawk is using the Herc torso and arms but with fists.

The wrist articulation/removable hands are something I actually enjoy with his figures and would love to see others adopt that.

My Herc and Roma are moving, should be there Monday it says. Same here. I will give ZS credit for this, with the huge delay in shipping it out and whatever the week between printing labels and getting them actually shipped, he at least had them ship much quicker than normal. Usually it would be a good 3-4 days to get here once the post office had the package, this seems to be overnight shipping. Kudos for that.
Also, I know there were 750 more Candidos made than Bully Busicks but it puts a smile on my face seeing the Big Bully selling out quicker than Candido. Listening to everyone one the Major Podcast bury the Bully and questioning why he was even made annoyed me.

BBB was the figure I've wanted most since Boogs. 🤷🏻♂️. I own .4% of the entire production.

I don’t get the hate that some of y’all have for Zombie. Stuff happens sure but at the end of the day I have received every figure in perfect mint condition….Which is more than I can say for Ringside. I also am very appreciative that we have other options to get the wrestlers made that WE WANT! Mattel / WWE are dropping the ball and I’m glad we have companies like ZST & H&F that give us what we want.

Much of his criticism is well earned. Very little is hating just to hate. I took a screenshot of the new Bruce Lee figures set to release this year around Halloween/Black Friday. He did say Black Friday was going to be really big this year so keep an eye out for that.

Is that Steve Urkel Lee with the white tank?

The Bruce Lees all look horrible -- I can't imagine who will buy them, but what do I know?

Got my Roma, Hercules and Tunney yesterday. Overall they are very nice, and I’m very happy to have them.
To nitpick (or not?), Tunney’s mouth and teeth are horrendous. Herc’s teeth aren’t as bad but would be much better without the black outlines. Roma’s skin tone is….unique I guess. And one thing I don’t like about the ZST in general is that the arms are sculpted to be in a set position, if you move them you get “flat” spots on the insides of the arms. Not a huge deal but Hasbro didn’t do that.

got my Herc, Roma, and Tunney yesterday. immediately opened them. Glad I did, because Herc's head was barely attached. Like extremely loose on the swivel and I heard a "pop" when I pushed down on it, like it was never fully popped into place. so much for this being a premium/quality assured line.
Tunney's teeth look awful close up. I see no way of removing Herc and Roma's shirts without cutting them, which is a real shame because I'd rather not have them with inaccurate logos (should say Power & Glory instead of Herc & Roma) but I also don't want to cut them off.

They’re a little stretchy, I had no issues taking them off.

You can’t rush perfection! Will ZST take accountability or will he claim contract issue w/ Roma over the signature? If I could guess… the error was caught after the figs were blistered.

How dare any of you have a gripe with Power and Glory?!! They are "flawless"

Finally went from shipping label to some movement! Woo. Usually takes 2 weeks from US to Canada.
