Just got big daddy. The quality on it is really bad, not sure if they changed factories or not. The figures body looks as if it’s 3d printed. Crikey  |

Really curious to see how Al Snow turns out. The prototype looked tall, but it's hard to tell proper size comparison with those. I'll be sad if he's too tall, like Switchblade. On wrestling Traders Instagram Al Snow is same height as Hasbro Big Boss Man, hope that is of use?? |

I received my Al Snow figure today. Other than the hair, I think it looks good.

I see Luna is up for pre order at Figure Collections in the US.
Not sure what that means for U.K./ elsewhere though….

if you can tell that it's 3D printed, can you share some pics of how it shows this?

Everything I've seen of the Daddy figure looks good, but I've not actually seen it in hand and I'm told that's a completely different experience that offers new insight into a figure's appearance, and stuff.

Cant believe this has to even be said but the Big Daddy isn't some mass 3d printed figure. Its made with the same materials as the other Chella figures and looks great, the cloth jacket is insane. It was the most expensive to produce at the time, now only seconded to Swoggle's figure, which cost the most to produce due to the deco.
Speaking of Swoggle, it is now in stock! All FC pre-orders are shipping this week in the order they were placed
Al Snow will be in stock at FC once WT has finished filling their pre-orders
Gangrel is in final production
Luna Vachon is in final production
Bone Crushing Meanie & Clark are in final production, and BCW are no longer considered Chella figures. Gangrel and Luna are honorary Megastars figures in name and branding, but FC is doing everything behind the scenes with these figures. We're stepping away from the Chella brand going forward but will continue to work with Wrestling Trader/Chella to get pre-orders filled for the figures we had on pre-order with Chella.

likewise, will FC still be the US distributor for Wrestling Trader exclusive figures they release in future?

You would say that, let us buyers be the judge when we receive said figure, which might be by Easter 2023 at this rate! |

If it weren’t for FC and WT most of the buyers wouldn’t have received anything buy now (this comes from someone who did not receive one single item yet). |

I dont buy it How do you post pictures? I’m fairly sure it isn’t 3d printed. However it has similar features on it. Like constant imperfection holes on his body(similar to what you would see, from 3d printing) these features are only on his body, not arms, legs, face. I can definitely post a picture, just have no idea how to do it, if someone can help. |

I had an excellent experience with Wrestling Trader just recently:
I had contacted them asking if it was too late to request a replacement Adam Bomb as my original was starting to lift badly off the card. They replied to me very quickly and explained they were working through the replacement Bomb stock and would have a better idea of how many they'd have left after that, promising they'd contact me again to discuss it then.
A little while later I received my order of the Dynamite '88 figure in a big box. Now I knew I'd gone overboard when I was ordering Chellas around the time the pre-order went up, but even I was surprised how big the box was - and the reason for that was that they'd sneaked in a replacement Adam Bomb for me as a surprise!
Love everything about that experience; a nice fun way to correct a mistake from the original ownership of Chella. I was a fan of Wrestling Trader anyway and how they were handling the situation they've inherited, so good to share a positive experience with them at this early stage.

I welcome and applaud all the updates 3lephant has been giving us. All jokes, gripes and moans aside. |

After more than a year of waiting finally got Dynamite - is the quality always this bad? Card is very thin, bubble almost collapses just looking at it and the cape is covering his face.
