Learning a couple of things courtesy of the Major universe. On Facebook someone posted a pic of a MOC Brody without jacket…so maybe they really were preorder exclusives? Next is a live unboxing with Brian. He did Kevin Sullivan and it showed that Kevin’s chain is in part taped to his back via a plastic bag. It’s all very small. It will be interesting years from now to see if these hold or if tape causes any damage to the figure. www.youtube.com/live/QDhyGvIn4tE?si=6J0IkxEBE711E3Gr |

So, got my Raven and Bundy from ZST. Very pleased, esp with the card quality. No bends or warps. I was going to open, but think I will wait to let them breathe. I dont think the gloss is too much. Bundy esp feels like he fits straight into the old line along with Dino Bravo.
Series 3 looks great and it will be the first line I’ll have to buy in full. Power and Glory… finally!!

Are there any new pictures of Bulldog? ETA Just seen it and it looks great. I really hope Epic change up the sculpt of the '93 WCW version, specifically the tassels on the wrists and legs, and the wide stance. Yeah that version kind of looked more like a galoob….which is t necessarily a bad thing… It's a weird stance, imo, and the ribbons on his wrists and legs look more like some sort of blades, lol, I dunno, it just looks odd to me. I really do want him in that attire, though, so I hope it works out. |

The British Bulldog figure looks really good. Are there any new pictures of Bulldog? ETA Just seen it and it looks great. I really hope Epic change up the sculpt of the '93 WCW version, specifically the tassels on the wrists and legs, and the wide stance. No new photos, but in the video, they show the figure at about the 51-minute mark. Mitch seems to be getting better with each figure. I think Mabel is the best one out there, but this Bulldog could that one a run for its money. |

Mitch was on Sam Roberts’ podcast. I haven’t been able to watch much of it but it’s there for those who are interested. The Bastion Booger figure is insane. I haven't bought any of Mitch's figures but they seem to be the most in-tune with the Hasbro style. The Godfather one is a disaster, but the others I'm impressed by. Mattels look like the worst of the bunch. |

Has there been any update on the Asylum Series 1 figures? The Ethan Page ones with Bagwell, Norton, LOD, and Hebner? I think I ordered Bagwell & Norton in February and last I saw there was a production issue of some kind?

I agree that Booger looked GREAT in the video, but I am going to wait and see what it looks like compared to other Hasbros.
If I could get Booger and Mabel for close to their original prices, I will. I unfortunately think all the Mabel repaints are much worse than the original.

Just got my shipping notification from ZST! Been envious of all the North Americans who've received theirs already  |

Just got my shipping notification from ZST! Been envious of all the North Americans who've received theirs already I skipped series 2 but planned on ordering series 3: Power and Glory, Slick. ZST blocked me on Instagram apparently for liking a comment that suggested his shipping was slow. Not making a comment but just liking it. So that's awkward. I know he's sensitive to criticism but come on. |
