I cannot wait to see what Epic’s Vader looks like! I’m sure he’ll be leaps and bounds better than what we got from Mattel. a Vader with a properly designed body will be infinitely better than Mattel's lazy effort
I've already got the upcoming Ultimate Vader on order, so looking forward to being able to have an Epic Vader posing with the WCW World Title on display

Wonder if any of these companies are able to sign Vampiro. He's obviously got some figures out with Super 7, but is he exclusive to them? I'd love a retro based on his CMLL OSFTM look, rather than his 99/00s WCW look. His later Lucha Underground look would also be great.

His look was always so cool. I would probably buy any Hasbro compatible Vampiro that was released. But, I’d prefer the Misfits/Brothers in Paint era. |

I prefer his original painted look followed by his Juggalo look. I too would be interested in buying one if someone were to land him.

I'd definitely buy him in his WCW look, although I would love his earlier attire with the blue hair and eye make-up. He's extremely toyetic. |

Its not going to be all that hard to better the Mattel retro Vader - I just hope that they don’t use a Duggan style body; I really don’t think that works well for Vader.

He needs to be between Bam Bam and Yoko…closer to Andre/Akeem. It’s a shame April Fools is so far away; I would love for Epic/Tippy to troll everyone with a Jumper of Rick Rude style headlock pose! |

Would love a few different Vaders. Early 90s WCW look in the black with red patterns, black mask. In his Japan look with no mask, black/red pants. And his mid 90s look, strap mask, "Vader Time" on the vest.
We also need a Vader Galoob, preferably in his early WCW look.

If it’s a Deluxe edition they could pack it with beef jerky, sauerkraut, durian, and onion to try and replicate that famous Vader smell!

PoP re-release got here today. This new packaging sucks balls. Particularly love how it’s held together by 4 stickers which couldn’t even hold in place during shipment. $70 well spent! 😤

The good news is I guess I will save some room by throwing the plastic part away now. |

That style isn’t my favorite to begin with but it seems like it would eliminate a lot of the headaches traditional bubbles create. Let us know if you reach out to them/what their response is. I’ve yet to see anyone else post about their order so I’m curious if this is isolated or ongoing. Also would like to see if there are any differences in the figures themselves. |

It’s was such a minor problem, I’d feel like an idiot reaching out. Only the bottom of the back side of the card is messed up, I just taped it down with a bit of my own tape lol. Honestly not the biggest issue, I’m just extremely anal and am keeping them MOC. |

if you contact Epic, I'm sure they'll take it into consideration, as this is their packaging for two-packs going forward, so they'll need to ensure that packaging for MOC collectors is "good enough" to make sure those people return as loyal customers

My power dog pain pre-order showed up and wow-these are among the coolest modern day retros I’ve seen. No problems with packaging on my side.
Really wish we could get the Barbarian 91/92, along with Haku in the iridescent tights. Bravo, team!
