Demolition look great, and PoP do too, but I feel like Epic did those well enough, while Epic's Demolition in entrance gear wasn't really my thing. Scott Steiner's non likeness coupled with the same old Steiner attire prevented me from buying those, but I'm still interested to see what's down the line. repaints! If his personal collection is anything to go by, I'm sure if this line takes off we're guaranteed NWA-style Road Warriors and alternative singlets for the Steiners in the future. Kudos to him for getting out the three big face-painted teams of the 80s/90s - LOD, Demo and PoP, but I'm hoping wave 3(?) are some top singles guys |

Nice. I wonder if he could get Crush signed and do another set of Demolition (Smash and Crush). |

Are these how the final figures that we get will look? If so, awesome. |

They have shown off some prototypes - both unpainted and hand painted - and they look pretty close to the 3D models…just with rough areas in the plastic and imperfections in the paint job. |

I think the art-style is unique, I know it's not for everyone. I'm trying to get comfortable with the same legs and arm poses. I get that molds are expensive so he's trying to get the most out of it, but there's not much variety. If I were a kid it wouldn't matter because they can "wrestle" in that classic stance, but I'm putting them on display, taking pics, etc. so to me variety is the spice of life.
With that said, I'm a little miffed we don't have his first wave in-hand before he's teasing a second pre-order. I fear we'll be in a situation where we have 4 tag teams all on pre-order with no one knowing the quality of the product.
Almost wish he could stream on Not Sam podcast or something to show off these guys more than 10 second clips on IG.

His arms appear to be different, like they're in the bicep pose position. The arms seem more bent. On some of the other ones he's shown on his site, there does appear to be some different arms. Some have an opened hand grip, the ones for Rude look like you can pose him like how he did his hip swivel. |

That's good. I think some were shown a while back and they looked reddish. Hopefully the skin tone looks more like these. |

I'm not too sure really, but I'm thinking if you were to move any of the other guys arms up like that in a double flex pose, it will look pretty similar. I'm thinking there's molds for just one set of arms and legs atm, and maybe 4 different torsos - singlet (Steiners), straps (Demo), completely jacked (like Warlord) and normal jacked (like Barbarian). I could be completely wrong also. |

Is he adjusting the skin tone on these? They are not "red" in the most recent images.  Can anyone answer this? Has he changed the skin tone? When do pre orders close? I've been on the fence with these. |

I could be completely wrong also. Similar yes, but from this photo, it looks like Warlords arms curve in more (towards the face) in the bicep pose than the others. Looking at Barbarians and Smash's left arm compared to Warlords, they look slightly different.  |

For the skin tone, do you know if they will look like this image? or will they what appears to be a slight tan like these? http://instagram.com/p/C_utWdGs56z |

I asked on the post of the “7days left” picture. He said it was a work in progress. The first ones shown were too red. The ones in this picture are too light. So I would assume the latest pic is the final look as far as skin tone. |

#1 I am glad he has changed the skin color
#2 Does anyone find it bothersome that the pre order is only a few days or less from closing and people are just now figuring out the skin color?
The figures look great now, but that is less than great communication and timing.
