I don't think Danhausen will have problems moving. He has a cult following. Was on Conan O'Brien's podcast and was interacting with the Rock last week on Twitter. His first Micro Brawler sold out it in a day and the demand was so high, they're doing a week pre-order window for his next one. What?! Really?... Danhausen is building a following fast. Over as hell. Plus one of the few wrestlers that Punk publicly endorsed nowadays. |

All true, I actually became a fan of his character via the Jim Cornette podcast, he is so entertaining and actually feels original. I think Zombies timing with his figure could not have been more perfect. |

That’s a lot of names before a single figure has gone through the full manufacturing process (to the best of my knowledge)

For all we know, "signing" guys means "sure, man." Who knows if he's paid these wrestlers a dime yet.

I hear Paul Roma is confirmed as the next signing. Hercules should be an easy signing following this, I remember reading his family was advocating back in the day to get him in the classic superstar line. So I assume they are willing to hear company’s out.

I don’t know the quality of the figures yet, but this line is, so far, doing a great job of filling a lot holes from Hasbro. I hope these type of names continue!

All the Rudat drawings look AMAZING. If the production lives up to them, he will do well with this line...

So, drawing some assumptions from what SEEMS to have been implied (I’m not claiming any facts here): $39.99 a figure Have to buy full set of 5 That’s $199.95 for the set If he only produces 1000 sets & sells them all - thats $199,950.00 So even if production cost $100,000.00, he’d still make $99,950.00 off of the ‘patreon marks’ 😂 I’d say that’s doing pretty well off the line 😂 |

Also he has an advertising advantage as I can see his friends doing a “super 7 NJPW review” for him when these drop and especially since they are in the line and for sure that will be target audience, and will save money for discounted advertising, don’t think they would be doing it for free. Remember it’s the toy business not the toy friendship business lol. I will say this I hope he does very well because he seems like the type of dude to reinvest into his product for future signings and figures. |

Yeah...I can’t really knock his business model, because if he’s doing ok off it all, that’s all that matters fir him really I guess. It’s just frustrating because I’d love some of the figures, they look great. 😂 |

I can certainly appreciate them. As cool as these are, timing is everything and with Mattel retros coming back, that’s the line I am fully invested in. |

Damn, didn't realize we were going to have to purchase the whole wave. If that ends up being true, I may be out.

and my primary concern is happening.... being forced to buy figures people don't want or care about, just to get a couple of exclusives that fans really want!
who is going to buy a second-hand Myers ZST figure or a Sterling figure without the others?? I guess it's one way to avoid being left with a bunch of MWFP peg-warmers, but it means people will actually be paying $80 or more than necessary just to get the figures they truly wanted

But there is something about to go down as he was saying for a while pre-orders would start this month, he has not said a word since. Again for me the real people who will benefit from this (again if true) is the secondary market who will buy a full set and then sell as singles (worldwide) as the market is all ready there, they will not only make a profit on the figures but on shipping. |
