He did not say Punk would be end of summer -- on the Sam Roberts podcast, he even hinted it could not come until next year

He did not say Punk would be end of summer -- on the Sam Roberts podcast, he even hinted it could not come until next year CM Punk was vaulted 2/23/2024, the vault reopened on 4/6/2024. This caused instagram user bimbo914 to wonder why his February preorder hadn’t shipped yet, below is ZST response… 4/6/2024 ZST Instagram comment section: “That’s because they are shipping late Summer / Early Fall as stated in the description and all the listings we posted about CM Punk/ Larry figures” 7/15/2024 ZST Twitter response: “Hi, there was a box you had to click on our website before you made the purchase stating eta is Late Summer/Early Fall.“ I imagine this will be your typical ZST crowdfunded 16 month figure.

I am not really impressed with the Bad News Allen proto, how do you guys feel? I’m pretty disappointed to be honest. Bad News is a favourite of mine, but this just looks all wrong proportionally….really odd looking.

I'll still be buying it to replace my custom I made but it a shame this is happening repeatedly with his releases. At least its not as bad as the Mike awesome though!!

Maybe it’s more of an issue with the legs being out of proportion?
I dunno, I still think the hands are what make the arms look super long

Looks too skinny and it's that plain jane/arms to the side pose he's implementing alot now. I got a custom I bought a couple years ago of Brown and I'll just keep that in my collection and pass on the ZST.

I get nearly 7% interest paid monthly with my bank if ppl care enough to do the maths 😎

Allen looks like awful. He's way too shiny. And proportions are unreal. Mixture of trying to be too realistic combined with monkey arms. Someone please explain what these are

Dang, the balance between the torso and legs is really bad on this figure. At least in the second picture, it looks like a Hasbro action mold (pull back punch). Needs to fix the legs, though.

What "punching pose"? I guess he just means he has a closed fist? When I hear "punching pose", I think of a body type like Virgil/Jake etc. With the straight right arm.

Allen looks atrocious. I can't believe he'd put that out and reduce sales by so much rather than spend the money to correct the error
(And how did he approve this anyway, unless it was a factory error -- in which case he should make them pay. But I guess in China you have limited options if the factory doesn't agree to it)

Bad News was a sure pre-order for me, but I really don't like this Proto.
Looks like, Series 4 as a whole, is gonna be a pass now

Punk will probably have left WWE before his ZST figure comes out

Just to add the list of problems, a Bad News Brown Figure was never going to be toyetic so sway away from the all black to include the slightly more detailed white with black trim boots that he wore most of the time. It would at least make something pop on the figure. This is certainly one of the top 5 Retro figures I'd want but this is lackluster. Hopefully Epic have a shot at it down the line.

don't worry guys. I've taken a gig working for Zombie's R&D Department. Have no fear, Zombie hears your concerns and has made improvements on Bad News to better fit the Zombie Sailor brand
