I don’t get Brody having soft goods. Doesn’t make sense to do that with these. Sabu looks insane. i mean, berserker and red card undertaker had soft goods. i think it works well if used sparingly |

Zombie posted several comparison pics on his IG story, but I think this one drives it home the best.  |

Honestly, it’s not a great way of asking potential customers to hang fire. It comes across a bit micro agro. Could easily have just said something along the lines of:
“To all of our overseas customers, we’ll get info to you all ASAP, we’re working on logistics, it’s great to see so much interest.”
Rather than pleading people to stop asking questions. Maybe I’m picking up on a tone that isn’t there, but apparently I’m not the only one.
Either way, fingers crossed for them, hopefully they can meet demand as they look great.

“Our focus is within the states” I think that says it all, really.

Hi, You are picking up on a tone that doesn’t exist, I don’t know how you picked up “a bit micro agro” as I was stating what the current status is of UK shipping. I’ve responded to endless posts and DM’s with nothing but the most sincere gratitude, openly stating how thankful I am for everyone’s interest and support, so you are mistaken as to my tone. With UK shipping, it’s difficult: First, you have the massive package delays from covid, not to mention many packages arriving damaged or going missing. And then there’s the newly imposed VAT tax that we would have to collect and then pay back to the UK. Yet, another step for us to worry about and more time exhausted. UK distribution to a vendor is not a question as we are not trusting anyone else to be in charge of our figures. Anyone being in my position would do the same thing. I am by no means ruling out UK shipping, but as my tweet stated, we are working it out. By saying our focus is in the states, well, it is considering we are based in the United States and have to figure out everything here FIRST before we move on to Canada, UK, Australia etc. it’s like figuring out how to walk before we could run. I DO appreciate everyone who will support this line, and support the little engine that could essentially. ALOT, more than anyone will ever realize is going into this line, it is entirely being self financed, We’ve secured the same factories to make these figures that make 1/6 scale sideshow collectible and Super 7 figures. I’m putting out only the best quality, far beyond what any mainstream company is offering as far as wrestling figures go and signing the most unique names that are possible that fellow wrestling fans would get excited for. I hope everyone continues to watch the process unfold and eagerly await to see the finished sculpts of every figure as well as our beautifully illustrated backing cards. Thank you again everyone !

I’m uk based and prob won’t pick these up just because with postage and everything else zombie had mentioned probably my be more than I’d like to pay.
However that’s not taking anything away from zombie or his doing. Postage costs are on the rise.
The figures look fantastic and a lot of time, money and effort has obviously gone into this line, and at a time the worlds in a state of disarray.
I’m hoping the line is a big success because it deserves to be

I'm sorry, but these are TOTALLY out of scale with Hasbros. I hope they admit that. /photo/1
I have a ton of Hasbros and Retros in front of me on display together, and the scale is almost perfect. As long as they treat these figures as different, fine. If they say they're in scale with Hasbros, they are straight up lying if you look objectively

ZS Hi Thank you for taking the time to reply to my points. Firstly, I fully appreciate how much of a nightmare it must be to consider the manufacturing & distribution of goods during covid. I truly do applaud any small business deciding to give it a go, during such a difficult & testing time. Secondly, thanks for clarifying my points regarding the tone of your message. The fact you’ve gone out of your way to explain your points, and that you weren’t at all intending to sound frustrated, is more than enough for me to believe you and put it down to “not being able to pick up on tones in a tweet”, so my apologies for assuming the worst there. Fingers crossed we get to a point in which international distribution is realistic. I’ll continue to keep my eyes on your posts and hope for the best. As I said if my OP, I truly wish you every success. Thanks |

It looks a lot bigger than 5% to me -- but I'm very happy to hear you can shrink them. Appreciate you writing -- and I'm more than happy to wait for the final molds. If they do match the Hasbros in size, material (the Hasbro sheen), I'll def. be picking up Sabu
