Even though I am the greatest ever designer of Japanese women pro wrestling figures, I can occasionally do good work on non-Japanese women pro wrestling figures as well

Please read the entire Instagram post before running to the board to post your disappointment. The FIRST words are this is NOT a Christmas miracle. Anyone upset it was not the announcement of something bigger only has themselves to blame. I offered a pleasant surprise, not a miracle.

There is a post warning about posting images of product stolen from Chinese factories. Tommy Slav openly brags about this online. If you follow and like his posts you are encouraging theft from our factories. Please do not do this. If you appreciate our line and what we do please ignore and unfollow his posts

It's not Trump. But it is still a first ever figure. Actually got the sample before coming to Wrestleshop in London this weekend but there was a major change I needed to make before it is finalized and I did not want the first look to be wrong.

Elite arms are not changing to Basic articulation any time soon. A change in 2018 or 2019 will probably be an IMPROVEMENT if anything. If it is implemented. Can't say any more or I will get in trouble.
It was fun and humbling to come to London and meet UK collectors. I get the chance to interact with US collectors at various times in the year but this was a first to do so internationally. I will be there tomorrow as well if anyone is free to come down to Leicester Square. Thanks MDT

Now that Dude Love looks to have a definite release in 2018 Sherri is next on the list of figures that have potentially bounced in and out of lineups. If anyone on these forums wants to run a poll on which version to do I'd be interested in the results. Won't promise to make the winner however, there are always multiple considerations of which the results would be one

Long day but very exciting as well. Thanks to all that came out to see the 2018 product line reveals. The weather in NYC is awful right now!

Serious question: When did Greg the Hammer Valentine and Hercules become the figures people are 'outraged' are not in the line yet. Why do these two always come up lately?
And yes the pic was taken to show one of the figures more clearly than the others

James Tallsworth will be limited to the first 2000 pieces. Just confirmed with production. To the people calling for me to be fired over this I will try to do better next time!

Ellworth is getting newer, shorter legs as a running change. Not in time for this weekend though.

Started later, so rolling in later. NOT cancelled for any other figures, where did that come from?

That's not how it works. If we didn't tool these at all the articulation on basic would still have changed. If you don't like a line like this it does not mean you are getting 'screwed' out of articulation on basic or elite figures. The development on these lines is completely separate.
Articulation on basics has changed going forward for reasons that have nothing to do with us doing WWE Monsters figures. If you don't like WWE figures that are a little more fantasy based (Zombies, Monsters) I get it. Like or dislike them on their own merits please.

Arm articulation is the same movement but the rotation has moved from the shoulder to the elbow. The black paint is hiding a lot in this photo.

No Belt with Elsworth. Awesome shirt is the accessory Brock's Hat is on Cass for some reason.
