Besides offering their quality "Hasbro Retro Style" figures, today Chella Toys announced (on Twitter) they are going to start a 7' fully articulated wrestling figure line that is scaled to most current lines! It looks like Adam Bomb will be in series 1. I hope that they are successful. Then we can also get Wrath, Kronik and others that Mattel hasn't been able to get yet. I would have put this on the Chella Toys thread, but I think this would be more easily seen. Any thoughts?

Good for them!
I hope they succeed in getting & producing lots of talent that is signed to the mainstream companies!

I’m interested to see who they get and the quality of them. It could really fill in the gaps that the other companies aren’t able or allowed to.

This has the potential to be really cool. Curious to see the quality and price point.

As long as they can get product out timely (looking at you Super 7 and Boss Fight) I'm sure I'll buy if they have a wrestler I'm interested in.

Good to know there's another line of articulated figures to look forward to.

That's cool. I'm not a fan of retro style figures in general, but I'd absolutely love an Elite/Unrivaled style Kronik! I'm looking forward to seeing Adam Bomb too.

Really keen if they do an Adam Bomb in rough scale with Mattel.

Looking forward to what they will be bringing us. Hopefully Dynamite Kid, Adam Bomb, Nick Aldis and others they already have signed to the retro line.

I believe they have already highlighted that anyone that had a retro style figures are eligible for 7” I can see Dynamite Kid doing great with sales. I would be interested to see how head sclups look on these style figures. |

A Dynamite Kid to go with Mattel's Davey Boy and a Bull Nakano to go next to the Mattel Alundra Blayze would be awesome.

We won’t have to wait long to find out the first figure in this line. I believe this will be announced on Thursday! Exciting! Personally something tells me it’s Big Papa Pump.

I wonder how many people would be interested in generic enhancement talent? Could a line like this incorporate it?
Seeing Mattel’s Eternia guard army builder figure for their MOTU line made me wonder if there’s appetite in the wrestling fig world for it?
Since we know Mattel won’t due to their license and unlikely jazwares would this could possibly be a way to get it? If moulds could be reused and enhancement talent generally didn’t have extensive decor etc

Yeah it had potential but way too cartoony really. Like didn’t goldust come with a sphynx head or similar? I’m more thinking a straight wrestler in trunks, minimal deco, nondescript face etc. They could potentially also be used as fans if produced cheap enough for displays etc? |

Most of the figures had normal heads (One or two had gimmick heads) that you could use as cartoony jobbers. But it would be nice for sure. |

I would buy a Dynamite Kid, but it was $42 for the Hasbro styled one so I can only imagine was a 7” scaled figure would cost shipped to the US.
