Did they say when we can pre order these ? Also when wave one will ship ? And that dragon is a thing of beauty See 3 posts above yours for preorder info. They will not start preorders very early anymore. I think the last I heard was Fanaticos 1 will ship Summer 2021, so maybe by September, but I might be wrong about that. |

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. Yeah, I think I'm all-in on almost every figure they make, premium and basic. The only figures I'm on the fence about are Fanaticos wave 1 Penta and Fenix. I've got the premium figures coming soon and I've already got the AEW series 2 figures. Everything else from Boss Fight Studio, I plan to get. I'm really excited for these figures and I will support them as much as I can. The renders of Fanaticos series 2 look great! I can't wait to hear more about future line-ups (that we don't already know about), and to see more protos. |

I've never followed lucha closely, so some of the guys I know in name only or from their work in the US. But the line has gotten me into watching some of the 90's content that is on Youtube. I'm really looking forward to seeing future lineups, and digging a little deeper into lucha in general. |

I'm really looking forward to seeing future lineups, and digging a little deeper into lucha in general. Just wanna suggest getting into AAA from 1992-1995 (before the top guys left for WCW) and CMLL from 1990-1994. You'll recognize a lot of people like Haku, Black Magic (Norman Smiley), Vampiro, etc., but people like Emilio Charles Jr, La Fiera, Blue Panther, Winners, and a lot more will jump out to you as being total wizards in the ring. Those were some amazing times to be a fan of Lucha. What American fans are used to from the Monday Night Wars from 1995-1999, you'll see a lot of "jumping around" from promotion to promotion from CMLL and AAA from 1992-1995 as well |

I know a little about some of the stars who never jumped to the US from reading old Observers, but my knowledge is mostly limited to guys who appeared in the US promotions. It's been a style I've always liked and wanted to dive deeper into. But I'm definitely looking forward to adding some AAA and CMLL into my rotation. |

Some highlights from what I see: -They're waiting for the boat to dock and then will start processing orders -If you didn't pre-order, a small quantity will be on their website and also "retail partners" have placed orders. Not sure who that includes. -Blue Demon's rights are controlled by Disney -Sounds like El Santo's estate is asking for a high price and MR licensing doesn't seem promising |

Masked Republic gives some good info in the comments of this post. Check em out. Some highlights from what I see: -They're waiting for the boat to dock and then will start processing orders -If you didn't pre-order, a small quantity will be on their website and also "retail partners" have placed orders. Not sure who that includes. -Blue Demon's rights are controlled by Disney -Sounds like El Santo's estate is asking for a high price and MR licensing doesn't seem promising Thanks for the info! I can't wait to get my Penta and Fenix figures. Sounds like it will be soon-ish. That really is too bad about Blue Demon and El Santo. Those two are such a big part of Lucha history. Such a shame it doesn't look good for them being included in this line. |

Straight to the Bay for mine. Pre-ordered these before AEW ... I think. AEW's are much better. No need for these now. Rey looks like a G.I. Joe figure, lol.

These figures are great. Wow -- this is what the NJPW figures should have been. They would have been amazing.

Jazwares did a better job with Penta's ink than BF, and BF did a better job on Fenix's tats. Still can't believe Jazwares made the ink on Fenix so light... On the other hand, the tattoos on these look more like decals. That know-all is gone? Sweet. |

I assumed these would come before AEW Series 2 when I preordered ages ago. Zero interest in these now. AEW’s figures look a lot better. |

I think a lot of us are going to be shocked how small they will be. If you're a scale perfectionist, they won't jive and to be honest, might keep me from ordering from them in the future on this line.
