What would you include in a Hasbro-scaled accessory pack? Is an accessory pack a likely possibility from Epic? Also, I really liked the idea of doing 1 Galoob style figure per series much like Jakks started doing with LJN-style figures. Somebody, somewhere, needs to make Galoob style figures. For the love of God.

Somebody, somewhere, needs to make Galoob style figures. For the love of God. Someone did, a year or so ago. Yeah, they weren't as good though, imo. I'm hoping for a more faithful rendition of the Galoob style, whereas those indie figs were sort of like mini statues, and super limited and hard to get hold of. I think the only retro name was Aldo Montoya, iirc. Someone like Epic could do a great job putting out a line of Galoob style retro figures, with some names that Galoob didn't get to. It'd be cool to see some Hasbro names getting the Galoob treatment as well, like a Galoob Adam Bomb, etc. Pretty niche, but I'd be all over it.

Think he means that Insane Shane’s world or something that did a small run of what were basically customs. They were only available through messaging the dude on Facebook with no page or website of anything so I passed

Yeah I've seen a couple of guys doing similar stuff, but usually difficult to get hold of and not very cheap. There was one lad, can't remember the name but he's probably appeared in a Galoob thread on here, who did outstanding work making Galoob style figures. He shrunk down LJN and OSFTM figures into Galoobs. I'd absolutely love for any company to take a shot at it, as it's a sorely missed opportunity, IMO.

My question is simple - will we get to see Series 3 and Series 4 released (both manufactured and shipped to customers) during 2024?

Benny loves figures he’s been photo bombing my pics of new purchases since he was a kitten in 2007. This was the first time he photo bombed one of my pics. Now when he does it he runs his chin on the corners. lol

Bulldogs are looking great, hoping to grab a loose set. Dynamite’s face is def better than the Chella but it still feels a bit off.

Nice pictures, and kitty cat! Tbh I really like these figures, and I'm just debating whether to keep them carded or let them loose. Yours look great loose. The card really pops in the light, though. I almost wish my packaging wasn't so pristine as it'd make choosing to open them a lot easier! I've actually been really fortunate with all of my retros, come to think of it, none have had damaged or bent cards. Fwiw, I think they really go well with Hasbro, just a little more updated but not overly, which is my issue with some ZST releases.

PJ to be fair I don't see that much similarity to the Galoobs, but I do agree that there's far more realism in the face sculpts, however like your side-by-side with Bret and Dynamite shows us, their poses, and size/girth seem to fit right in with the 'bros.
