I wonder if Wrestling Trader would be tempted to make series 3 a full tag team series? They have already shown us that they are at least up to the prototype stage with: -Demolition -The Powers of Pain -Killer Bees Plus they have the SummerSlam ‘92 Road Warriors somewhere in the pipeline, and I haven’t completely ruled-out that they might have Mabel to go with Mo which they might’ve been saving for a bigger reveal at some stage. Plus we know they were teasing The British Bulldogs. And Kronik was mentioned when Adam Bomb was announced IIRC. They could have the basis of a cracking line-up from that lot, and get a lot of names off their waiting list. That's a great idea, but my only request would be to package them as tag teams rather than 6 singles. Chella did the Meanie two pack and I loved the packaging so it'd be really cool if Wrestling Trader did it with those 3 teams. |

Oh definitely, two-packs would be a must with any teams they do - as you say, they’ve already set the precedent with Mind of Meanie. |

I was thinking recently that they could've easily done a late 80s version of the Bulldogs, with Daveyboy having short hair. Possibly in their blue attire with the white red/blue striped socks. Or even just the LJN version in Hasbro form.

Or even just the LJN version in Hasbro form. It'll be interesting to see what they do with the Bulldogs tag set - do they just repaint Dynamite? The three Daveys they have planned have the same suplex move, so would they make a fourth of that figure with a younger head? That would be the most cost-effective option, but I think that would be a real shame for the set. The existing Dynamite figure could stand an upgrade in my view, and Davey wasn't as jacked during the Bulldogs run as he was in WCW for example when the first Chella design is from, so I'd prefer them to invest in new figures for both for the set. Dynamite could have a jumper body and Davey a clothesline for example, or something to differentiate them from their other Chellas, really make it seem like they've invested in the set. |

I definitely hope that they have another go at Dynamite. As you say, there's other poses that he'd look great with. I'm still deciding whether I like the existing Dynamite figure simply because it's a Dynamite Kid retro or because it's genuinely a great figure of him at all. Maybe a Mr. Perfect/Scott Steiner look? Or the Macho #1/HBK look, or even the jumper you mentioned. Davey maybe in the Smash pose, but there's so many possibilities, and so many looks/attires that they could go for, and why not all of them? The sky's the limit. I love that they're making all 3 Bulldogs, for instance. |

If they don't do 2-packs at some point, given the amount of tag teams they have signed, then they've massively missed a trick.
Even if they release everyone as singles and just use the 2-packs as a cheap way to get repaints out, I'd probably be OK with it.

Got my refund from Chella for the Bone Crushers Blue Meanie, at least that's that sorted.

Daddy, Haystacks and Snow all look good, but that Dynamite just doesn't look right to me... I own it, and it still doesn't look right in hand. The proportions and likeness are just off. |

Al Snow looks like crap but i still want one. The drawings showed they were going for a hasbro style body but it came out nothing like it. The mini font on the head sucks too. Then they tried to darken the completely yellow hair but somehow the factory has drawn these awful root lines lol. Oh well.

Big Daddy looks good, wish I ordered that. Have an Al Snow on the way, those root lines are awful.
