[RETRO] Wrestling Megastars by Epic Toys

Let's have the first promised figures first shall we?

I ordered Blue Haystacks,Dynamite Kid and Big Daddy way back in January. Until I get any of these, I'm not ordering anything else!!

I got my refund through this evening, so that's pretty good considering I was only contacted by Wrestling Trader on Monday.

I did kind of feel a little bad seeing the refund and knowing the whole Chella situation, but ultimately, it's nothing personal, it's a business and I was no longer happy to wait on pre-orders, I'd given it a good length of time, I was just done waiting.

I wish them well down the road all the same.

I only know of Chella and Zombie Sailor, who are the others? Would love to see what figures they're doing and if they're any good....

Rush collectables, CW Figs, and there's another that I can't recall off the top of my head.

Rush is doing Larry Z, which is pretty neat, but there's not a lot of quality names coming through, imho.

Rush, CW and Mattel off the top of my head.

Possibly, I was just thinking of the independent companies.

I feel like all three lines that produced figures thus far have had figures come close:

Mattel: Purple Taker, Lesnar, Roman, Rock, Flair, and a handful of others.

Chella: Hyabusa, Bill Nakano

ZST: Dino, Cardona

As far as the other three lines…

Although Rush figures don’t look bad, they do look more like Retros than Hasbros. I do love the idea of them expanding to different things but time will tell if/when any of these things happen. I truly feel it is too much/too soon for them…way too much.

CWF is a strange one. I wonder if they will get their feet off the ground? They were supposed to share costs with Chella but who knows now what will happen. From what I see, their last post was on September 19. Maybe they have been active elsewhere and I haven’t seen it. Anyway, from the sketches and samples, I would say that Alex Wright is the only one who might look like a Hasbro. I still love the idea of their ring set though!

Grapplers and Gimmicks from Hasttel Toys looks like a mixed bag as well. The sketch for Savio is probably the most Hasbro-like offering. Godfather isn’t bad but feels like a mixture of things. Can’t place my finger on it. Diana…woof. Sorry, that is just ugly and not Hasbro-like to me.

Greg looks sweet, have to say. Love the carding for it as well!

That's a great shout! I'd say as well that the Adam Bomb from Chella is really good in comparison to Hasbro's, even his Hasbro.
