So as an update, I have been told a few things about them:
1) It seems that they are custom produced. When I inquired into when my item would be shipping, they said they were in the process of producing my copies. So it seems like they are printed on demand instead of an inventory.
2) They said it should ship by this Monday. So, I think I had standard shipping. That means I probably won't see them until the end of next week, beginning of the week after? I'll post an unboxing video or something to help show it.

I'm interested in seeing what they look like in person.

These have piqued my interest. The verdict is out though. Still gotta see paint apps. For figurines that aren't playable, they should have had them make more dynamic poses. Hopefully they are on some kind of cool base too. Our poses couldn't include fingers out.

Too steep for my blood as these probably won't fit with the mattel shelves very accurately. I think the 7" scale on the likes of Backlund ,would probably stick out like sore thumb. However these look great. Can't wait to see these in hand or in someones collection. That could sway my opinion. I'd also like to say I'm disappointed Backlund could be made by this company,but Mattel still hasn't got him done.

Hopefully they are on some kind of cool base too. Our poses couldn't include fingers out. That I understand; these statues are printed in one piece, fingers would be too small and break during printing or in the cleaning process after printing. Also there's no paint: these statues are printed full color in colored gypsum powder, which is why they're so expensive. These will be fine statues, nothing that my simple 3D-printer (which I own since November 2013) could produce: mine prints layered using a roll of single colored ABS (same material as Lego bricks)...

So if these are printed per order, in theory they shouldn't run out of stock (as they already have the scan), meaning no rush to get the ones I want, unless I am wrong and supply is limited.

It does look that some of their products are limited, and with some of those figures not having all the sizes, that might be the case... As for the product itself, I was reading it was sandstone. Is it sandstone then water-jet to create the image?

How would you explain how they could make Xavier Woods with his trombone? Granted I don't have it, but the details on the trombone seem to be pretty small and intricate. Maybe it isn't as small as a finger?

Maybe it isn't as small as a finger? That trombone is way thicker than fingers and more important; the way he's holding that trombone. He's not playing, he holds it close to him and in a 22.5° angle.

Makes sense. You'd think some of the wrestlers scanned would have held some sort of prop. I know it cant' be a title belt for licensing reasons, but maybe something like a chair to give it a dynamic look. Really, only Maryse, Alexa, Ryder, and New Day struck a trademark pose for their scans. I'm surprised Orton didn't at least do his arm thing or Goldust do his chest rub.

Got my shipping confirmation two days ago. Hasn't left Germany yet, but hopefully I'll get it "soon". I know with international shipping this can be a long time, so hoping for the best.

Just saw a pic on Instagram of Nia, Fox and Bliss. The paint jobs just look horribly blurry like a million Instagram filters were applied. The technology still has some way to go.

These remind me of those foam things you'd add water to and they'd expand maybe 3 or 4 times bigger.
