[RETRO] Wrestling Megastars by Epic Toys

I’ll keep my beanie eye out, wonder if somewhere does a butterfly hole punch 😂

Today is the last day to preorder the British Bulldogs.

This is the third set I bought after Demolition and Powers of Pain.

I haven't bought from the other third parties yet (close to ordering from Zombie but it's an internal struggle for me to personally support him).

I almost jumped in on the ljn line, but I need to be picky on all of these lines out there. Doesn't also help that most of them are preorders only. Demo sold out on RSC so hard for me to jump in now.

Would be nice for each company to have multiple series in stock and available so money isn't tied up for months/years waiting for product.

Yeah I’m having to start being a bit more picky too….which kept me on the fence with the Bulldogs - which I can’t believe I’m even saying!
They would’ve/ should’ve been a day one order for me; but the fact dynamite looks taller than Davey is a real sticking point for me.

I don’t expect every retro figure to have exact accurate scale height-wise; but in my mind, it shouldn’t be that hard to have the taller guys (6’6” +) a fraction taller and the smaller guys (5’10” -) a touch smaller.

This in addition to overall scale issues with Haku/ Luna/ Booger has just left me a little weary…..and so I ended up missing the order cut off point anyway.

Oh well….

Yeah, I know the figs I mentioned aren’t by Epic; but it was just highlighting that there have been scale issues across the different companies - who have had other figures in their lines which have been fine.

But I don’t think Dynamite is particularly closer to the camera in this picture, and still looks too tall for my preferences (might need to change his name to The Dynamite Giant!):



And I’m not a particularly big moaner about waiting times - I recognise that these smaller companies are in the early years of building money from preorders to eventually get later series into development sooner.
But it’s better for everyone that these exit times are getting shorter.

But regardless - I’ve missed the boat on these!

Don’t think either will be signed to a wwe deal anytime soon so certainly not off the table.

I don’t mind Haku fwiw

Annoyingly that’s not possible, the cost to make the molds are so expensive that they’ll never break even on them imo

Will look like Cooper from the Super Mario movie

I'm really hoping we see some movement on Powers of Pain and Demolition this week - getting a bit close to Christmas where couriers are so busy, some people will be away from home, plus Epic themselves have posted about closing over the season so if the stock is in the country from China already then I hope the shipping notices will be with us soon.

I was just thinking the same thing. I commented on their Instagram the day they said about posting dates and they said thet were waiting for all powers figures to arrive before sending any unfortunately. Was hoping they would just start shipping asap as I am away next week over Xmas and New yr so they will either be stuck in the post system over Xmas or worse still try to deliver and then get returned to epic as I won't be here to collect. Very disappointing especially as been waiting for them for sooo long. Just have to keep my fingers crossed they arrive before next Tuesday.
