Wonder what the excuse is for the available in hand extra inventory he advertised on Instagram for sale (like i paid for) that wasnt sent out. He admitted that he’s selling the exclusive Jonah’s on eBay but says that since the hookedontees Jonah’s are what is owed he didn’t offer them as a substitute and is still waiting for purple Jonah’s.

Bummer... the "big announcement" is just that they've got limited supply of series 1 they're going to put on sale Literally the opposite of what I hoped would be the announcement.

For those talking about scale and likenesss, all the hasbro s weren't really to scale, look at Ravishing Rick Rudes figure, totally off and looked nothing like him. Even figures such as the 1st Big Boss man. Waaay too small compared to other wrestlers. Big Boss Man's head was like a pinhead compared to IRS's. You are correct. The purists don’t want to hear this but it’s true.

Ask him about my order. I’ve sent many messages and have screenshots to prove he has simply left me on read

I didn't buy from this company, but some suggestions for anyone who did or for any of these other no-name companies that have been popping up. -Always pay with PayPal, ideally linked to a major credit card -If you paid through PayPal, initiate a claim through Paypal. -If they do not resolve your claim or if you didn't pay through PayPal, contact your credit card company, explain that you have not received the goods you ordered, and request a chargeback. Your credit card will most likely be pretty accommodating. They should refund you the full amount of your order. For the dollar amounts and overall volume being discussed here, that's your best option. Maybe a flood of BBB claims will ding his business, but he'll just close this "business" and start under another name. If you want your money back, the options above are your best bet. PayPal was not an option through hookedontees or that’s exactly what I would have done

I got left on seen yesterday when I inquired about my order for the 3rd time. I’ve been nothing but respectful but I’m sure I’ll be blocked pretty soon. Back to the topic of how many people are owed… There are zero confirmed cases of people ordering directly from his website and receiving their figures(s). If that equates to as few as 3 buyers that’s beyond sad. I would imagine there are more but maybe not a ton. Still completely unforgivable.

I’ve gone back and forth on that one. They did vouch for each other a good amount which may have lead to customers buying figures of one company or the other. On the other hand, I wouldn’t want someone else’s mess to hurt my brand. We don’t know how much Mitch might have already tried to help Sal. This whole saga isn’t over either. Some things that I’ve been wondering: If those Marvel/DC/Movie figures from Rush get made, does that mean those companies are paying up front? If so, Maaaybe Rush was/is banking on that to finance some of the stuff that people are waiting on. Not a great move but it might help to explain some of his actions. We really don’t have a good concept of how many figures he actually sold and how many figures are actually owed. Out of various Facebook groups, Instagram, and here, I am only aware of 3 people who have had this issue (and it might be 1-2 of the same people if they are posting in multiple places). Others have stated that he still hasn’t produced the European variant of Jonah or maybe hasn’t produced enough of them? That story is unclear to me. Those are all facts that I wish we knew the answer to. Regardless, there isn’t really any excuse for treating customers poorly, blocking them, using dated and inappropriate language towards them. You think only three people are owed figures? Do you have me down as one of the 3. That would just make me (and the two or three others) extremely unlucky. If it were that few, you’d think he’d just refund us.

I wonder if Mitch is going to distance himself from Sal. He might have done so already in private but he should make a public statement too. They were co signing one another hard in the beginning.

I know he reads these boards. Bro, we just want the figures we paid for. What’s really going on? Do you not have enough inventory to fulfill the orders? apparently not - no idea how he's managed to end up in this situation but it's evident that people still waiting to receive a figure are not going to get it, because he's underproduced for the quantity of orders he's taken He has not admitted to that though. He claims he has sent orders and still is. That sounds like bs because there isn’t one reported instance of someone who ordered from him direct getting theirs. But it’s been over a month since he claimed to get them in hand, what other explanation could there be?

Unfortunately ‘soon’ is probably weeks away. Yeah, maybe longer. I remember earlier this year, they said they were aiming to have series 2 ultras in hand for Christmas. I’d say best case scenario now would be March/April. They could surprise us and have them totally done or well into production at the time of announcement. They did say at one point that they’d be going away from preorders. Maybe this is when they make the shift.

if you can speak to your credit card provider, get them to log it as a scam or fraudulant transaction if the only thing that comes out of this now is Sal seriously losing his credit rating, then so be it. he's had months to respond to the situation, and has failed to address it every time I know 3POA's Dan is (part) kidding when he says "THANKS FOR YOUR MONEY!" but every day, Rush just looks more and more like a scam to me
Yes i actually did report it as fraud so i really hope this guy loses his shirt over this Reported it to who? BBB?

Being one of the most popular gaijin Wrestlers of all time, it should come as no surprise that Abdullah The Butcher has a ton of Wrestling figures made in his likeness. However, I have one figure based on the Madman from Sudan that many collectors don't know about: In the 1984 arcade classic Yie Ar Kung-Fu, one of the first enemies the player faces is Buchu, whom was inspired by Abdullah The Butcher. Since Yie Ar Kung Fu was a hit in arcades, keshi figures were soon released to capitalize on the game's popularity. The above keshi is modelled after Buchu/Abdullah The Butcher. I would love to own one of these

Anybody ordered Mantor? I happily skiped this as I don’t want to support this guy. 600 figures are said to go into production which sounds like a pretty small run. I sure did. PN too

Considering we didn’t see an uncle howdy proto at sdcc, if he never shows up on tv again, is it safe to say we won’t be getting an uncle howdy figure?
I posted this before the news of bray hit… ridiculously sad…

Very few were shown at sdcc but it’s not as if there won’t continue to be new ftitl legends showing up in the various lines. I have no worries.

Are people really that worried about possibly being out of 45 bucks so much so that they’re passing on a superb looking figure? Or is there another reason. Like, with zst, whether people admit it or not, some don’t buy his figures because they don’t like him personally. Shawn hasn’t made a whole lot of friends either. Is that the real reason. Y’all can’t really think he’s just gonna steal your money and disappear.
