Someone posted a pic wheee Jay White looks almost a whole head taller than the Dean Ambrose retro figure.
That’s a bit disappointing….I noticed that Hayabusa looked a bit too tall, so I haven’t even opened it yet.
But between these guys being giants and Bull being on the short side…. I really hope Chella bring them all in line a bit better.
I love the look of the figures but I’d prefer them to match in well with the hasbros.
I know hasbros weren’t all perfect scale, but a lot of people don’t seem to appreciate that most of the taller guys (Taker, Shango, Sid, even Hulk) were made a fraction taller.

I think this is the difference with me being a MOC collector, things like that don't bother me as much. I do agree though, if they were kept the same size so the fit perfectly with each when displayed is the ideal situation. I applaud Chella on making Bull shorter, but she's really small that even in the packaging it's very noticeable. I think they got that one wrong. It's a great figure, but too small. I don't have the Jay White figures in hand yet, hopefully will this week, so I can't comment on that one yet. If it is too tall then that's gonna disappoint a lot of collectors. |

Yeah, I don’t want to come across as negative - because I applaud Chella for what they have done and are doing. The figures look great and fit in well with hasbros; it’s just the height thing for me. But I’m a little bit ocd about it - I try to make my customs fairly accurate, with noticeably shorter or taller guys being accurate compared to the average 115mm! 😂 |

Just wanted to make sure, only wembley haystacks has been up for preorder, and regular haystacks has not been up…is that correct? Conversely, nuclear variant adam bomb has not been up for preorder while regular has…is that correct?

Conversely, nuclear variant adam bomb has not been up for preorder while regular has…is that correct? Yup, you are correct. Giant Haystacks in blue is on the site for a December pre-order, it's not up to order yet though. We haven't seen MOC pictures of the Adam Bomb yet and Chella haven't said when it'll be available. |

For anyone wondering ... here you go. While it's far from perfect, it works for me! And that's all that matters really. |

Got my two Jay Whites in today, really impressed with them. The packaging is fantastic, I got lucky with the bubble, no peeling so that was good. The figures are quite heavy I noticed compared to the others, maybe that's the cause of them coming loose. Digging the Ringside Collectables Exclusive stamp.  |

Got my Jay White today as well.
Really cool looking figure; and I really dig the look of the moc too - it’s a shame to open it up!

My only gripe, I wish the back of the card had a bit of colour too rather than it just being black and white. That might have been too much I guess considering how much colours on the front. I know that's the "Hasbro" style but still, would've been nice. |

Chella are bringing back bone crunchers! Is there really a demand for this? Jakks BCAs have been the most worthless wrestling figures for almost 20 years now. |

I think it'll depend on the line up really. I'm excited to see them, whether I go in on them I don't know yet but I'm curious to see them that's for sure! When you think of it too, is there really a demand for Bendies too, but we're hyped about them. It's just nice to have so many options and the nostalgia factor. |

Yeah it’ll be kinda cool to see what/who they come up with. I won’t be buying any I expect, as I’m purely a Hasbro/retro guy - unless it’s to buy figures that have accessories I want for my hasbros (I’m looking at you Elites!) But look at Chella hitting the wrestling figure market from every angle! |

But look at Chella hitting the wrestling figure market from every angle! I grew up in the TTL era of Jakks, the only Bone Crunchers I owned was the Badd Blood 4 pack but I loved it. I'm gonna wait and see on these, not get too excited until we see the lineup and the first look at the figures. I'm just buzzing we have so many options these days! Chella also said in their post on Instagram that big things are planned for the 7" line next year. That's got me hyped! |

BCA-styled retros could be something really interesting. I just wonder who the roster would be.
