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. Oh really? I missed the power town news Want to say I heard it on the Major Pod. Dibiase was pulled and replaced with Bruiser Brody. Could be mistaken, it's hard to find news from them. |

That’s the thing when the big boys come knocking... That’s why I’d go with sandman, the bwo, kid cash etc. People who we remember from ecw etc but wwe won’t be interested in |

Gotta feel bad for Chella. If they had not waited till tomorrow they would've had our money already.

I think I may actually prefer the Chella Greg….definitely prefer the head, and probably the jacket too….just the legs look off and like they’ll make him too tall.
So might still get them both…

I read that it would be made avail in limited quantities through FC in the USA, but wondering if that’ll be scrapped now because of the Mattel deal!? |

From the images that Mattel Greg looks awful honestly. The Tugboat is even worse.

I'll be getting both - the Chella looks the better of the two, but the final product will probably favour the Mattel - I'll compare them whenever they both finally arrive  Unfortunate timing for Chella of course, but I agree with Andy that they've had so, so long to get their act together with this as well as other figures that there's nobody to blame but themselves, and of course the circumstances we're all dealing with. |

I’m waiting on around 15 chellas from pre orders still so I won’t be buying anymore until they arrive, I like to complete collections and already we have variants of blue Meanie, huyabusa, 3 different al snow cards, 4 nick aldis and more joey knight variants. It’s hard for anyone to keep up. Mattel has done well with these latest announcements and now they seem to be giving us what we have asked for which is great. It’s going to be easier and cheaper to keep up with Mattel. If I do carry on with chella it will be figure hunting/chasing over the next few years.

Has there been any announcement, when the RnB Greg will go up for pre-order?
All it said in that one IG-picture is the date. But nothing else

I ordered Greg.
Might take the legs off and swap them for Hasbro Doink legs…I think it’s the legs that’s throwing some of these Chella figs off for me.

Confused by the carding in Greg - are they just doing some unique design that they haven't even got ready to show us yet instead of the normal Megastars carding? If so then that's a crappy decision - I didn't mind Snow having other designs as well as the regular, but I want the cards to match in my display and this one will stick-out like a sore thumb if they don't have the regular designs as well, or don't at least try to centre this one on the normal design.
Still ordering him, but not happy if that's the case at all.

The Chella Greg is much better than the Mattel one in my opinion. The carding idea is cool, but not for me.

If there isn't an option for normal carding I won't be ordering. Think it's a terrible idea and will cost them sales if it doesn't match the rest of the series
