Unless I'm missing something, quite interesting that neither of those two reveals mention Chella. I wonder whether they've stepped aside on future releases and fully handed the reigns to Wrestling Trader. Would be nice if they just sold Chella to Wrestling Trader. Might actually get some form of customer support. |

Wow, these are great..love the Killer Bees.. All wants for me, however Chella are incredibly slow with the orders.. Still waiting for Adam Bomb, Haystacks, Big Daddy.. I've actually forgotten what I've ordered! In other news, wave 2 are stuck at my post office depot until Monday.. I can't wait.. Im still waiting on those same 3 as well. Plus i paid for Tonga loa, haku and stevie and nova.. |

Killer Bee's and Demolition are incredible! Sorry to you guys that collect loose that will order set sets of Bee's to display both heads.
Both sets of figures are just brilliant, and it looks as though Chella have really stepped up the quality when you compare these to the first few figures released.

They had The Powers of Pain prototypes on a poster as well: Click on photo 3. Love what we've seen today; I do prefer when tag teams didn't have the same action/pose as each other like Deomlition and the Bees have, but that isn't important when the overall product looks so good. Just the small detail now about actually getting them...!  |

It’s really cool to see the Powers of Pain prototypes - it kind of gives me that feeling I’d get as a kid, walking into Woolworths and seeing new releases! I think they look good….but I’m not always sold on the design choices….so not sure if I’m gonna get them when the time comes, as I’m pretty happy with the retro customs I made.  |

Both sets look great, Demolition in particular, but both are an easy pass. Bees were LJN era, not Hasbro, and Demo has Hasbros. So no need for either for me.

Nice job on the customs! Seeing those triggered a memory, so I zoomed-in on the designs to confirm that Powers of Pain are both designed to have their entrance gear, so I guess we'll see that added soon when it's ready. Likewise Demolition didn't seem to have their helmets on display today but they are included in their designs. |

Is Demolition Hasbro or BCA style? They’re supposed to be hasbro style but they look way too tall and proportionate to pass for hasbros. |

Ah the Chella ones come with entrance gear too…look forward to seeing that at some point. |

Screw any new pics of any figures coming out in 2080, all I care about is what I have ordered and should already have been fulfilled by now. Clarification directly from chella themselkves on what the blue hellis going on is what we all want at this point. They can shove the rest up their candy asses! Exactly. I'm beyond tired of seeing pictures of figures. I don't want anything from Chella anymore, just a refund. They're clearly working behind the scenes, yet simply can't be arsed reaching out to existing customers. |

No sign of Chella on the new releases at all however WrestlingTrader confirmed they will still be released on Chella carding.

you'd think they'd be thanking the company responsible for manufacturing the figures, right? but no.... seems like Chella is nowhere to be seen in the social media promotion for these upcoming figures

Let’s just hope they will not fully disappear before they have fulfilled their existing orders.

Let’s just hope they will not fully disappear before they have fulfilled their existing orders. I just checked the Chella Toys website, everything there is listed as out of stock. That's no good sign. I am still waiting for Uncensored Dynamite and 88 Megastars Dynamite. Never ordered Haku because of the trouble but I want him. |

The stock was pulled from the Chella website so that priority would start being given to existing orders instead of creating more orders. Not a cause for concern. More info will be given this week from WT/FC

I've sent a few messages lately, and know a few people who have attempted to contact them via DMs and email to no avail, so we're struggling to understand why they are not responding to any communications from their customers
I know a few people with strong followers/presence on social media have managed to get holding replies when tagging them in negative tweets/story posts, but even that is a "Hey, can you please bear with us whilst we look into this?" type reply rather than proper two-way communication
if you're in communication with the actual team, it would be good if you could relay how poorly the community feels treated by the radio silence right now - we can understand if they're communicating that they have issues, but radio silence helps no-one and just stirs rumours and creates even more negativity

That doesn't really explain anything? Is Chella done as a company?
