***** ZST Wrestling's HEELS AND FACES Retro Fig Thread *****

Another possible hint?

I'd be all for a Candido retro.

Candido is one of my most wanted since the Hasbro era. He was always and will always be one of my favorites.
I remember when the WWF was on tour in Germany and somehow my little me got in the first row with a sign reading „I want to be a Body Donna“. While Sunny kept playing the arrogant heel she was (was she playing though), Skip aka Chris Candido shortly stopped, gabe me a smile and a nod. He even said something but it was simply too loud to understand any word.
Bret Hart saved me that night from being heavily pushed to the guardrail.
Great times.

Brian Myers retro is based on his black heel attire he has been wearing in impact recently?

In fairness, Myers is pretty pale compared to wrestlers of that era.

The action features have nothing to do with how these figures look. You could literally remove the internal mechanism from every Hasbro or Retro and they'd look exactly the same. This is a bad take.

If Candido is to be next then that could potentially be very interesting for showing how things could be handled for talent going forward.

I expect we would just get him from his ECW time or something in plain black trunks, but Zombie will know that the Hasbro man-child market we all so proudly inhabit would love to see him released as Skip of the Bodydonnas - can he make that work? Has WWE continued to maintain the Skip trademark all these years, or is it available? Or have Candido’s estate registered it for themselves at some point in the past if WWE decided to let it expire? I don’t remember Tammy using the Bodydonnas name in recent years, but it’s usually best not to focus too much on her these days sadly. And maybe she will appear in the line at some point herself?

Or will they take the path of releasing him as ‘Chris Candido’ but in the blue singlet from the initial Bodydonnas run? Or the red trunks from the tag team run?

If Zombie makes him as a Bodydonna with or without using that trademark then that might show us what route he might take with guys best known for WWE gimmicks from the New Generation era for example.

Hopefully this will be the last announcement for Series 1. I would prefer a smaller numbers as a blown up roster may also increase the amount of work. It looks like ZST is totally passionate about this project, but he wouldn’t be the first being overwhelmed by the workamount. Especially for a premiere series I would always go for small steps.
also there are always issues with new lines, which is totally normal. Just look how many issues S7 had with their first MOTU figures although they were more or less experienced or the first AEW series. This is totally normal and would be fixed during the continuation of the line.
Nevertheless totally positive over herr and very excited for this.

Damn, we broke each others balls a lot but I actually enjoyed his contributions.
