New 1/800 NYCC Matt Cardona figure. It appears to be a repaint from the 2 pack but isn’t a bad deal if you like this particular look/didn’t want everything in the 2 pack. The white and purple really pops. I would be down to see some retro maker do a “white card series” in the future. http://instagram.com/p/DA3mGoKx4BN 800 means this will be around for a while, may as well wait for the inevitable Black Friday/Labor Day sales to pick this up

I have to wonder about the sheer volume of Cardona and Myers products that get produced. Like, I know their podcast facebook group cult will buy any and everything they produce...but is there a huge market outside of that crew? That whole community is wild to me.

I can’t answer with any degree of certainty but their presence is nothing short of impressive. Their YouTube channel hit over 100k sometime ago and not all of those viewers are podcast subscribers. The Facebook group (1.7k) has a large mix of people but not everyone is a hardcore collector. Cardona has over 2 million followers on X, Myers has nearly 400k, and their Instagram followers aren’t too far behind those numbers either. You may not want to collect everything they have made of themselves but there is something for everyone regardless of what types of things you collect. I’ve been tempted by a number of their items but they haven’t really fit into my collecting rules. Though Cardona might have breached one of those rules with his recent Mall of America show.

How are those Mall of America shows? I lived in Minneapolis 2014-18 and absolutely loved it and plan on relocating back there in a few years. Anytime I was at MOA the nostalgia of the first nitro hit the veins so its cool First Wrestling is doing that

Anytime I was at MOA the nostalgia of the first nitro hit the veins so its cool First Wrestling is doing that F1rst Wrestling has been a fun promotion to follow. It’s a very welcoming atmosphere reminiscent of PWG (but less pretentious). There are some booking decisions that are total head scratchers but I’m sure some of that is circumstantial and not entirely the fault of Arik Canon. My biggest complaint is not announcing matches before some shows or selling out in advance for Wrestlepalooza and stacking the deck for one night with big names and then doing a below average card on the other night. For the Mall of American shows, the first one was incredible! A little surreal and felt kind of magical! The second one felt poorly booked…it had a handful of independent names but it really lacked star power. There weren’t any big time legends who appeared on the show. These things need a wide range of appeal and the second show there fell short. This latest show - the third annual - was much closer to the first show. The crowd felt like the biggest they had drawn. It was generally a good atmosphere and fun action. They could have used another legend on the show even if they were only doing something quick on the mic or acting as a ref. That would have brought it to the next level. If you do get a chance to go, I highly recommend the Golden Circle seats. If those aren’t available, I would opt for standing room on levels 2-3. Floor seats after the first few rows aren’t really worth it. Standing for 3-6 hours also kind of sucks but it’s a fun experience once the show gets going.

That white card for the Cardona figure looks great.I know its easy to just do a plain and simple Hasbro homage for the cards, and companies would be daft not to do it, but a bit of creativity goes a long way, for me.

But as to why he keeps making cardona figs in general, he’s popular and they probably sell pretty decently. In addition, it might have been contractually stipulated that he’d have certain number of different figures made. ZST probably had to make him a sweet deal simply because of his influence.

Also, everyone on here always saying they do not want bloody figures for some reason, so they put out this figure in a non-bloody version. I see no issue there. Plus you do not have to waste money on a Nick Gage figure to get it. Win/win.

One example of his “soon”: 11/3/2022 ZST Twitter: Danhausen “Shipping Soon” Danhausen arrives to ZST Warehouse 1/19/2023 11 weeks later. Let’s see who has been paying attention…Who knows what else takes 11 weeks?

Interesting to note that as an international customer (Australia) who couldn't order directly from Zombie Sailor Toys, I haven't been able to get any confirmation from Rock n Roll Collectables or Wrestling Store Australia that if I pre-ordered during this particular window, that I was to receive the sketch drawings (particularly interested in a Ric Flair and Abdullah The Butcher designs). Not sure if that offer has been extended out to additional distributors...can anyone confirm or deny. Or is willing to keep me in mind if they were to want to offload their Abby and Flair designs.

Anyone have any info on these? It popped up in my feed but they didn’t seem to know if they were legit or customs or what:
*removed by me in case these were stolen/leaked.

Passing on wave 4 for now. All these bloody variants are nothing for me. Awesome and Taijri would be nice to have, but their arms are terribly long. Hopefully P&G, Candido and Busik will be restocked soon as those were the characters I was waiting for but accidentally missed.

All of Series 1, 2 and 3 have been proof of that. There's no reason S4 or beyond will be any different.
