OK, deleted the posts about racism; they have nothing to do with Epic or their figs.

A mini jobbers line would be great, but it'd depend on who actually owns the rights to those names. WWF was full of them in the early to mid 90s.

Get me a Heavenly Bodies too, while you're there. Gigolo Jimmy Del Ray with the sleazy dance action. this has Epic written all over it - would prefer pop in/out arms over their magnets approach, but you could easily do a Jimmy Del Ray with similar arms to the upcoming Nova figure for the dance, plus different arms for more wrestling style pose like open hands/punching etc |

we need an Iron Mike Sharpe too! that guy was great

With mini you refer to like for the Hasbro Royal Rumble Ring or do you mean one series of just jobbers? I'd like the latter; I'd absolutely love to have Barry Horowitz, Steve Lombardi, Reno Riggins and Dale "Dusty" Wolfe. |

Yeah I just meant like a small series of (regular size Hasbro) jobbers, sort of like the proposed British legends line, but exclusively enhancement talent. They could call it something fun and maybe release 5 or 6 guys like Barry Horowitz, Mike Sharpe, Brooklyn Brawler etc. Might be a bit difficult getting the Brooklyn Brawler gimmick, but that'd be a great figure. |

I didn't know Brooklyn Brawler was announced. Horowitz being announced is vaguely familiar, but who knows at this point what's actually getting made. |

Wow! That is incredibly sad. I wonder what happened that made that figure get cancelled. |

Such a shame, maybe one day a company will look at him again you're chatting with Luke, right?  this is a disappointment not to see a Shane Douglas figure, especially considering it's the NWA Championship figure - that would have been an awesome moment in history to immortalise in retro form |

Jeezus. I would have bought that for the belt alone! Very cool to see and hopefully someday it happens…though smiling Shane isn’t something I’m used to seeing. |

The more the merrier but that render looks like Shane Douglas in 1970 at the age of 7. Really would like Zombie to get to him. Triple threat later ECW or original ECW/NWA would be just fine. |

In regards to enhancement talent or whatever you want to call them…this is the latest that I am aware of (all from ZST): |
