This is a figure I was really on the fence about. I thought about having an attitude era collection on display and he would absolutely fit in as a character. The drawing looked off to me and now the execution just feels wrong. I don’t know if it’s one specific thing or if it’s a lot of little things. This might be their worst figure since Aldis. Maybe I’ll change my mind in time…but for now this is a pass. |

Ordered 3 more Adam Bombs, hoping to receive at least one that is MOC worthy. Chella customer service never came back to my original order with 2 RFC (released from card) instead of 2 MOC. Does anybody know how long Series 2 will be available for preorder. I still want these, but still couldn’t get myself to ordering these. Chella has definitely lost alot of credit. They never came back to me for my FITE Shernoff that I have never received, they don’t take care of the Adam Bomb issue. I will be way more selective now and stop ordering anything to just support them. Are you using this new email: chellatoyscustomersupport@protonmail.com I got a reply within 24 hrs. |

Yeah ive paid for over a dozen chellas but i passed on this one. Aside from all the little things wrong with it, i also feel the scales gonna be more in line with jay white which is ginormous

Hard to say without seeing others by it but in that hand it does look a bit on the large side My hand isn’t large but a hasbro doesn’t feel like it’s that big in my hand |

Yep, I need to see Al Snow next to other figures. Brother Switchblade was sadly too tall, and if Al is that big then it's likely a pass for me.

Switchblade and Hayabusa are my favourites thus far, including the alternate versions. I was never a huge Al Snow guy besides back during the Attitude era but these days I'm not really wanting an Attitude era collection.
I loved Gangrel during his run so I thought I'd be tempted by his figure but something just didn't click with it for me. I'd need to see a few pictures of it loose amongst other retros and Hasbro.

I really like it. I've got one coming for my mate in the States so I'm looking forward to seeing it in person.

So….will the newly announced wwe retro R&B Greg Valentine release prevent anyone ordering the Chella version tomorrow?

Got too much sitting on Chella pre-orders without any figures in hand. Tough break for them. Don’t want this to be harsh, but I don’t have particularly any pity for them. Lots of ore orders up unfulfilled, lots more shown but not yet out. All the time and money spent signing and promoting forthcoming releases should go into getting out the ones people have paid for. I know there’s a supply chain issue etc etc snd how the ore order model works but these companies are small fry compared to wwe and if they sign a talent away from chella, zst etc then that’s the way it goes |

I do, however, find it strange that they didn't get exclusive rights to the gimmick in retro form for a year or so. |

Tbf even if they did have some sort of clause I’m not sure they’d want to stand in the talents way of potentially far more earnings. Even if wwe’s % royalties is less id imagine the units are far more with potentially more earnings through other merch etc so maybe it’s better to cut losses of a few units rather than get a bad rep. As the old saying goes “tell a friend telegram tell a wrestler”. Word wouldn’t take long to spread. Obviously totally hypothetical in my part but that’s my guess |

Yep, I'm definitely out on the Chella Greg and will get the Mattel Retro since it'll be in a boxset anyway.
Curious if Chella Greg happens at all, now. Zombie lost RVD because of a Mattel deal, PowerTown pulled Dibiase because of the same.
