Just wanted to give a little update! I (FC) sent out a ton of Chella pre-orders today, including Dynamite Kid in red, in white, and all the Haystacks! It'll probably be another 2 days or so before they're all out!

Yo! We're still working hard in BCW land. I've said this a couple times but this is still the update we're getting from the factory -- they've had some trouble with the molds/figure production using the BCW 'tech'. The feature has taken some time to develop in addition to the 'feel' of the figures when it comes to the production side. We're told that after this is perfected, it won't take as much time for future releases. Currently, Meanie & Clark are in development, which means when Clark goes up for pre-order the wait will be shorter! Also, yes Glacier is getting his first action figure in Series 2 Are you able to comment on if the inclusion of Glacier in the BCW line means we could get a retro of him, too? Fingers crossed! We have a great relationship with Glacier, anything & everything is on the table!

Also, yes Glacier is getting his first action figure in Series 2 Do we know anymore on the macho? I think that figure is a game changer! Also in retrospect (and this is me wondering not a knock) but would you consider not having the mechanism because I have to think that’s a headache to sort or do you think it’s essential? I’m thinking all the retros which don’t have an action etc Macho proto has been done for a bit and will be hard for us to top. We're looking to show it, along with our other prototypes for series 1 over the next month! That's something we're considering to cut the wait times with figures and it should bring down the cost of the figures for everyone. I think it was important to do for the launch of the line, but hearing overwhelmingly through feedback that while the mechanism is appreciated, its not a deal-breaker. Yeah! That sounds about right for Clark. Just to reiterate it should be a shorter window on this one as the molds have been in the works for a while!

FC got their Giant Haystacks variant in on Thursday. We've shipped all our preorders and still have a few left over. I'm going to give it a week so that everyone can get their packages in and then I will put the rest up for grabs. It won't be at the pre-order price, to be fair to the people who ordered it several months ago.
I expect Giant Haystacks standard by the end of the week (we've filled a few as we got a partial shipment in so far). Dynamite Kid Retros should be very very close behind (both versions). If I have any leftover they'll also be up for grabs (same deal, not at the pre-order price to be fair)
Big Daddy will probably arrive by the end of July if not sooner from what I'm told. Lots of progress being made on several figures, its exciting stuff! I'll also throw an update in the BCW thread!

One thing I'm wondering, with them having to provide replacement Adam Bomb figures, will that mean that they can't put up a restock of the figure or will there be enough for replacements and a small restock?Are they taking back the damaged packaging ones then in exchange or just sending the replacement and allowing them to keep the originals? I'd be interested in one more of Adam Bomb loose if they resold the damaged packages. A lot of talk about replacement Adam Bomb figures when some of us haven’t even received our original pre-order. Hey! I work directly with Chella (I run FC) and would like to reach out and see what the issue is with your order. Will you DM me and we'll get to the bottom of it? Same goes for anyone else here who placed a Bryan Clark pre-order!

If you have an Ultimate Warrior to play around with I can reimburse you with another for the one you customize!

Still not my favorite figure, but I like the upgrade. Arm swap and dremeled his head to sit lower. He is passable now! Any chance you would consider repainting a series 2 Ultimate Warrior to look more like the prototype from the packaging? Your work is impeccable, I would be interested in one for my own collection

I'll buy it because I love Owen, but damn I think we were all hoping for a singlet version of Owen?

http://instagr.am/p/Cd5-e0RuaAG 3Lephant (Naptown Icon) I saw this and was wondering if you could confirm that it will be a 4-5 month wait between each Series 1 release? Thanks! I'm stoked for Savage. There's arguably no bigger name than his that was never made as a BCA figure. Still can't believe you made it happen! I guess where there's a will, there's always a way. Honestly have no clue where they came up with that timeline haha. There have been hiccups with the 'bone' feature that have set us back with some time, but there will not be a 4-5 month wait between each series one release, its not going to take us two years to get our first series out lol

That Pokemon TCG online thing is pretty underrated. I don't know if people just aren't giving it a shot or assume it sucks, I enjoyed it. They're dirt cheap too. I found myself inputting hundreds of online codes at once with packs going back to Evolutions. Scratched the itch a little bit.

Guys, has there been a contact to Chella here? I paid for a Fite Shernoff that was supposed to be added to 3 or 4 of my orders and it never arrived. Meanwhile my messages are ignored. I really don’t want to open a Paypal claim as I am still believing that there must be some kind of error on Chellas side without any purpose to play fool on my, but I also don’t want to let them go away with my money without receiving anything. No Chella bashing here as they are great and I still keep buying their stuff. Just looking for a contact that may be able to help me. Email me at figcollections@gmail.com and I'll get to the bottom of it for you!

I won't be supporting a predatory toy company that tries to hoodwink the very talent that its claiming to support. Call me when they offer a license fee and a better royalty than 5% for LIFETIME exclusive rights. I agree in principle that a fair royalty should be paid But ironically the podcast leaking the royalty info also say “it’s the toy business not the toy friendship” and let’s face it, this talent roster won’t be getting figures elsewhere. So is it better to have a small % of sonething or 100% of nothing? The podcast isn't the only one leaking royalty info. I'm telling you as someone who's been dealing with people in the wrestling industry for the past year to work out figure deals.. This is the offer they're giving people. And generally in most cases their opportunities aren't as limited as they were two years ago. You have Zombie, Chella, FC Toys, Major Bendies -- all of which pay their talent and don't ask for exclusive rights. What Power Town is asking of their talent is insane.

You ever wonder what their profit margins are on one individual figure when the company PROFITS millions and millions?
