I figured the wait for Haku would take a long while, fine. But should anyone be worried about getting hosed here? I’m a little uncomfortable with what’s happening.

thanks for sharing here, and thanks for the update, I have a couple of questions specifically about the UK/EU distribution situation (not sure if you can answer on WT's behalf here?)
1) how are all Chella pre-orders for UK/EU orders going to be managed through Wrestling Trader? will WT receive all of the UK stock to distribute, and are WT going to prioritise orders from WT customers first over orders any raised through Chella's site, or will all orders be handled on a chronological basis (first come, first served) for both ordering methods?
2) how can we find some information about when the current shipments will reach the UK for distribution? I understand that FC already received the Blue Haystacks, but we've never heard when UK customers will receive ours, so will WT communicate any ETAs for when Blue Haystacks, as well as Big Daddy (which was apparently due to leave factory within weeks according to the 7th September update)?
thanks

1) most of the figures sold on Chella's site were not available on WT, so they aren't competing with other orders for shipping. 2) Literally our number 1 priority is making sure everyone gets what they ordered, and in a timely fashion considering how long a lot of you have already waited. UK distribution & US distribution will likely match each other (Depending on customs in your country) as far as timing of releases in the future |

look forward to seeing where this takes us into the new year, but hopefully with both FC/WT onboard, things will become much better for customers in future
most of us want to support the line, but for a while now it felt like it was becoming an uphill battle

Nice that they're offering the ability for refunds. I think I'll wait a little to see how it plays out then...

UK distribution & US distribution will likely match each other (Depending on customs in your country) as far as timing of releases in the future I think you’ve done a brave and good job coming on here because there’s been quite a bit of unhappiness of late after what was a promising start for chella. You’ve been very clear and informative and I think that’s what’s helped some keep the faith. Having a uk based company especially since the retros returned online only and other companies have large costs to the uk etc was very appealing for me and others on here. I’ve been critical of chella and I stand by that but fair play to you and I still wish them all the best, I think the signings etc need to slow down, o think they need to focus on getting product out which obviously someone’s helping with but yeah, fair play for your efforts. |

Chella have now removed comments from their Instagram page.

Not gonna lie - first time I saw that I thought it was a Spirit Squad figure or something. He doesn’t look short enough in those photos and his tattoos pop too much for my taste…the face isn’t right either but it still has some degree of his likeness. I’ll have to see this next to other figures to really say how much I like it. |

I’ll have to see this next to other figures to really say how much I like it. besides not being a Swoggle fan anyway, the "Not fully in scale with 4.5 inch figures" says to me this will be closer to Nakano than Swoggle's actual size would be in that scale, so unless scale is a major issue for you (it seems to be for many) then you're probably better of waiting but it looks extremely detailed

Yeah definitely lost me with "not in scale with other 4.5 inch figures"
That's the whole selling point of a midget wrestler!!

"Swoggle" is a great looking figure, but I've never really understood the point in him. Surely him being smaller is a good thing. Kind of bugs me that Ultimo's BCA isn't gonna be slightly smaller than the others.

I quite like the Swoggle figure - the face is close enough to a more current Swoggle I think (though I'm not a big follower of his current work admittedly) but my initial thought is the figure looks too slim which affects the proportions as well as the face.
The key will be of course how it looks next to other figures in the line; scale has been an issue so far in the line but this one especially needs to work for the figure to be accepted.
