Cheap move to simply mirror the arms. At least add Darsows tattoo than. This is really where Chella/WTC falls short compared to ZST and Grapplers. Not sure how it could fall short to grapplers when you look at the sculpting or lack thereof and say for example, the smoke train figure tattoos. Smoketrain and Johnson have been poor to medicore. So were the first Chella figures (Aldis was terrible). I am willing to support the failures if there is a steady improvement. Godfather was terrible, Johnson better and that Mable looks fantastic. If this is the quality of sculpts we can expect in future, I see me supporting Grapplers rather than Epic. Yet Grapplers has to deliver one figure. |

Man, I don't care what these guys call themselves, I just want my figures I ordered two years ago... Which figures did you order?
I was waiting on the first run of Dynamite Kid. Ordered it on April 9th 2021, and it arrived end of March 2023. So it was about a two year turnaround from pre-order to having it in hand.
At least I have it now.

Glad it’s sorted though |

I’m usually critical about epic toys and think they miss the mark 90% of the time, but I genuinely like this demolition set. I think the magnet heads is a great idea as well.

Just gave the podcast a listen….kind of a shame that one of the guys keeps making snarky remarks about the other companies.
It’s a bit classless in my opinion, and a bit more reminiscent of that other guy..,.

Every single company out there right now has some sort of significant issue (some with REALLY major issues), so putting down any other company serves no other purpose other than being foolish/hypocritical. I have no idea why anyone would think that's a good idea. Companies should focus the energy inward toward their own issues. |

None of these companies have much to gloat about with their one figure a decade output, and that's just the "savvy" ones, the others are merely pumping out drawings like a London bridge portrait artist during the summer holidays. |

My Dynamite Kid and Adam Bomb had been sitting at the post office for awhile, finally picked them up today and think they're quite nice. The bubble on Dynamite had came off but doesn't really bother me since I'm not a MOC collector, even though I haven't opened the Adam Bomb yet  |

That being said the last thing we would want is for anyone to feel like we are purposely putting a figure company down for the sake of making another look better. The whole point of our show is to offer an unbiased look at the wrestling figure world in one show and for the other show to keep the communication of Epic Toys as good as it can be with collectors. We want all the toy companies to succeed |

I know I'm really late in commenting, but the new Eddie Guerrero is one of the best Retro's yet. Looks phenomenal, top job. Will probably be getting one in all honesty, along with the Demolition. I don't have Hasbro Demo, so I'm gonna put them in my Hasbro display as they look so damn good that I think it has to be done.

Did this just turn into 3.Ohhh After Dark?
I suppose they could use the glow in the dark Adam Bombs to illuminate the path back towards righteousness.
Speaking of…
Are you guys aware of the brief controversy involving Missy Hyatt yesterday? I’m trying to confirm if it was a hoax or real…but the image going around was something that involved antisemitism. These forums aren’t the place to discuss that in detail but it definitely is a difficult subject matter if it turns out to be true…and a pathetic troll if it was a hoax.
Also, I’m traveling in the near future so I have been saving up several shows to listen to. Thanks for the free entertainment!

I did see something this morning about birthday wishes to a controversial historical figure, not fully sure if it was true or not but odd nonetheless |

That would be the one. According to one of the people who brought awareness to it, it was real but it was taken down. They have since taken it down themselves as well. Not sure what, if any impact this will have on things. Bad timing and even worse judgement.

I have to say, I'm very impressed with the Dynamite Kid figure's sturdiness. It feels like it would remain standing during an earthquake.
