I just got my 2 a few hours ago. THERE IS NO ACTION FEATURE (On the back of the card it says "2. To activate, articulate arms to down position.")The head isn't that bad, maybe a bit too wide. (The Adam Bomb is probably a bad example, as he has a long neck) The feet are small and don't have peg hole, but it stands fine. The skintone is a bit orange and the eyes could use some eyelashes. (Just a line above the whites of the eyes.) Most of the details is sculpted into the plastic and not just paint/decal. e.g. knee/elbow pads, belt a the top and the gold and black lines that go down each side of the tights, the aces on the belt and knee pads. It may look like it's made of cheap dollar/pound store plastic, in the picture above, but It's not, this thing is solid. The plastic is like a WCW Galoob, but with head and arm articulation. *****************************************************SNIP*****************************************************Thanks for sharing this info, looking forward to getting mine. It seems some in England are getting theirs now so hopefully mine will arrive soon too. And looks to me like series 2 could be Rock n Roll Express...🤔 Series 2 looks like they took the line art from Macho King and Ultimate Warrior 1, the lines are thicker and less defined compared to Aldis and the 2 pack. |

Glad people are happy with them; I wouldn't buy, even if the price was 9.99

I got mine in the post this morning. I'm happy with it.
I think it does have a slight bootleg feel to it. But yunno what? I love that. Its of the times. If they released figures at the same time as Hasbro, they wouldn't have been able to match the quality. Having said that, I haven't actually let it breathe yet, but I will at some point, most likely, and I'll get a better feel for it.
I look forward to seeing their next series.

Just got mine this morning too.
So here’s my 2 pennies worth....
I must say I like it...like it a lot.
It does kind of look a bit bootleg-ish; and I think it’s the head that causes this.
But i opened it up and it feels solid, and better quality than it looks.
Scale worked great next to Macho King (only figure that was to hand).
I think this is a great first release.
Like someone said previously:
1. Head a little too big
2. Feet a little too small.
But it feels good in hand; the sculpting of the pads etc, as a previous poster said, are good.
I do think they are a bit too expensive to be honest; but it’s a new company trying to get going out the gate - so can’t really knock that. Probably not much different to how much it ended up costing trying to get retros due to Mattel’s awful distribution anyway.
So well done Chella toys; good start.
I actually can’t wait for the Blue Meanie set - even though I’m not really a fan of them as I don’t really know them.
And I’m really looking forward to any other releases. I hope they keep ‘em coming regularly.

I echo the big head tiny feet sentiment, but I don't mind that too much as they're going for a stylized look. I definitely assumed they used Macho/Warrior on the back for series 2. Wouldn't read into anything from the outlines.
I will be getting the Meanie two pack, but will only want the Shernoff so anyone that wants the Blue Meanie I'll offer that up when I do.

That’s Rocker Shawn to me, not Warrior.

That’s Rocker Shawn to me, not Warrior. Yeah Macho & Shawn 100%. I reckon lines up pretty well with Rock n Roll Express. And I’d say that the Aldis body is modelled after Warrior #3, the purple one. |

Anyone get there’s from bodyslamclothing. I have a funny feeling that I’m gonna get screwed even though I paid in early August.

Anyone get there’s from bodyslamclothing. I have a funny feeling that I’m gonna get screwed even though I paid in early August. I think these are just now being sent out. I ordered mine straight from Chella Toys a couple of days ago and received an e-mail to confirm my order has been shipped, even if on the Chella Toys site the figure still has following Estimated Shipping Date: Before Or By March 2021. Keep in mind: Chella Toys is UK based, they send it to bodyslamclothingclub, bodyslamclothingclub sends it to you. Also there's STILL the global covid situation... |

thanks rowie4lifeyeah, I thought the Series 2 would be Rock n Roll Express, but hope they also make a Midnight Express to go alongside it - wouldn't it be interesting to see the possibility of Condrey/Eaton as a team, maybe a second set of Cornette/Lane too?? that would be awesome! Chella actually have the ability to make figures of the legends we wanted Mattel to make |

Spot on! I never put it together that the Aldis figure looks like the Warrior 3! You’re totally right! |

just received mine, and pretty pleased with the card and the figure's appearance in the bubble etc question for @chillary here - does it actually have an action/punch arm, or is that graphic on the box just their way of emulating what Hasbro did to showcase their action features? tempted to let it breathe, but not sure whether to leave it carded with the rest Leave it carded. Honestly. I have 2, 1 MOC, 1 lose and the figure looks way better carded. |

I just pulled it apart, the figure is solid. If it were me, I would have done the legs separate, that way you could mix and match later, but it's probably cheaper to have them in as few parts possible.  |

Cool...cheers for sharing this; it’s something I had been wondering about but was reluctant to try as I didn’t want to potentially ruin it. Was it a simple boil & pop? |

Were you able to get everything back? And I assume there's no action mechanism, then? Just the arms move up and down?

Yeah, it's easier to get them on, than get off. No action mechanism. The arms and head swivel. I just pulled it apart, no boiling, just popping. It's not a hard ABS like plastic, it's more like the WCW Galoob, so it holds up quite well. Oh really, cool! I'm sure that they will break if you constantly disassembly them, but I don't see why you'd need to pull them apart that much. |
