Fantastic episode, and really enjoyed listening to the entire conversation. It's well worth a listen for any toy fan.
So it sounded like two pretty big pieces of news - the premium line will be going from 2 figures to 4 moving forward. Hopefully this lets them get Vampiro, Ultimo Dragon, etc in sooner than later.
And they have the rights to produce belts of "a West Coast promotion." Any best guesses from West Coast folks? The only thing coming to mind for me is PWG.

West Coast Promotion would be PWR based in California I'm So excited that they've went from 2-4. This line has so much potential |

So what's the latest on when the Lucha Bros ship? As they mention on the show, both Rey & Penta are in transit (on the water). The factory making the figures had to shut for most of Covid, they are now at 25% working capacity but that’s growing each day, meaning only good things for the lines going forward. Safety first obviously. Like a lot of companies, these guys were hit with unfortunate delays due to Covid etc, but yeah, they confirmed that they are in transit. 👍 |

Yes indeed, awesome news about the belts, and I think that’s the start of things to come. |

It seems like they are able to pull off a lot for a smaller company but I have no idea what it looks like behind the scenes. After listening to the MWFP interview with the guy from Super7, I’m curious to know how long it will take them to process the orders given we know they should have reached port a while back. |

My guess would be sketches at best. It would be hard to imagine them revealing names for another series without having delivered even the first figures...but who knows. Maybe it’s just bottlenecked and we will be graced with more than expected.

There's a Boss Fight panel. I'm also expecting that we'll find out the revised lineup for S2, since they're increasing it to 4 figures. Maybe protos for Konnan, Lady Maravilla, and Fanaticos 2?

I was under the impression it was expanding to four after the already announced series 3? If they start the increase with series 2, wouldn’t they just bump up Laredo Kid & Tinieblas, Jr. from series 3? |

But I thought on the pod they said it would start with S2. With some of the bigger names signed since the line was launched, it would make a lot of sense to fast track Vampiro, Ultimo Dragon, etc. who would be big sellers. Just speculation on my end, but it definitely makes sense for a small company to cash in asap. |

Not a ton of new info, but there is a premium Taya in the works. They also showed color renders of Fanaticos 2, and they look freaking awesome. Vampiro, Ultimo Dragon, Hijo del Perro, and Black Taurus. Ultimo Dragon looks to be in his green and red gear, so a perfect fit for a WCW collection.

I would've preferred that attire for the premium Ultimo...I wonder what colours he'll be wearing for that figure?

I may end up buying the full wave of Fanaticos 2. Perro, Taurus, and Vamp don't really have a place in my current collection. But they're such great looking figures that I think I'll need to find a way to work them in somewhere.
I'm looking forward to a premium Dragon. But for $20, the basic is everything I could have hoped for.
