Super 7 extended the pre-order for wave 2 until June 14th. They do have the Andre re-action figures in stock. Some of the other figure line pre-orders are in route to their warehouse, according to one of the emails I got from them. Yeah, Brian Flynn laid out the estimated ship dates on literally every preorder from late last year except New Japan wave 1 in that interview a few weeks ago with Pixel Dan. Wonder if the hold up is with them, Super 7, or with NJPW and their approval.

We never saw what that figure actually looked like until the pictures of the actual figures started getting shown. It's also super cool to me that the Okada figure is basically in his big match attire from 2017, meaning if we get Shibata, those two are basically going to be based on the Sakura Genesis match.

So here's some news: Luke Gallows basically said on Tama Tonga's podcast that he signed a deal with Super 7. The direct quote was "one of us, or both" signed a deal but definitely sounds like it was him. It also sounds like it could be separate from the New Japan deal so we'll have to wait and see there.
It's around the 5 minute mark of the pod if you want to check it out. Gallows: "You wanna talk about Mattel? Oh, Mattel's cool ... NOT! Wait until you see these (expletive) things. Are they worth $49.95? They're worth $79.95."

If Wave 3 is Bullet Club themed, and Gallows and Anderson are like Andre standalones in Bullet Club gear could be great for Super 7. If they start signing other wrestling stars we might hopefully get some cool additions to the collection.

I’ve begun to like Anderson and Gallows and it really sucks they weren’t used correctly in WWE and that they only got 1 figure each released. Hopefully wave 3 is Bullet Club themed.

Going to have to pick these up a couple at a time with all the other stuff I’m collecting. I pre ordered Osperay and Okada today. I’ll probably get the other two before they come out.

If the figure contracts are true then it’s looking like Series 3 will be Suzuki Gun ( which imo is a great Japanese Dominant introduction to this toy line) Then series four could be Bullet Clubbbbbb. Let’s hope more independent signings continue to happen, Brian Flynn also expressed in a interview that he hoped to have gotten the AEW Line, so hopefully this continues a interest to bring wrestling toy needs to production.
I personally would love to see a Muta & Hayabusa Figure. Tiger mask seems unlikely but possible! I’d be crazy if a more general line came about to fill voids in our collections. Most of these being made to order makes it kinda ideal for something like that.
I’d love to see a Super7 Sabu Figure or something like that

I’m really hoping enough people buy these first few sets because of not I don’t see the line lasting long. They have said multiple times it’s a made to order set so they are only making the amount ordered and people not pre ordering them and waiting until they come out will have a hard time finding them. I’m assuming ringside is ordering so many and increasing their numbers as they sell or how much they are expecting to sell.

I’m assuming ringside is ordering so many and increasing their numbers as they sell or how much they are expecting to sell. Ringside and other sites that order, as far as I understand, get a set allotment of figures. There's a decent chance you'll be able to still get these once they're out. Now the bigger issue is how long it's taking the first wave to finally get released. Nobody from Super7 seems to have any sort of answers as to when we might see these, but every other preorder from last year has a good idea of when they're finally gonna show the up on the doorsteps of people who preordered. Would like to know when that's happening for the series of figures I bought last November.

Would like to know when that's happening for the series of figures I bought last November. Yes I agree. The fact that there has been very little updates, and the fact that sites like RSC and spamS still have series 1 available for Pre-Order, is telling me to wait and be patient for series 2. It’s crazy that they take about an entire year to produce.

I would think NJPW is the next wave of stuff to come in. Turtles were up Oct 19, there in route. NJPW was Nov 19 I would expect sometime in August for them.

Except they've never even said when New Japan would be leaving the factory or when they were going into production. Brian Flynn said to expect Thundercats in August, so probably later than that for New Japan. It'd be nice if they'd just ing say SOMETHING.

Entertainment Earth lists them as an October arrival, while RSC and spam lists them still in July.
