Curious to hear some feedback on the Kevin Sullivan retro. My discipline for collecting is essentially to stay "canon" with the current Mattel retros, so pretty much anyone from 85-on in WWF is fair game as well as WCW after the inclusions of Flair, Sting and NWO Savage. Do we feel that the ZST Sullivan fits in with the likes of the already-existing WCW figures or, if you were me, would you wait for a more mid-90s dungeon of doom Sullivan? All takes accepted, none rejected. I love the look of that Sullivan, it's definitely gonna be one ZST figure I'll try to pick up. Just a great rendition and a great period for his character, IMO.

Big Larry Z fan, I look forward to this. If only someone could do a Barry Windham one too.. I'd be surprised if Barry wasn't in the pipeline somewhere.

All these lines are on fire! The JSD are amazing, I wish I was in a position that I could pull the trigger on them, they’re not really what I collect, but they’re so well done, and probably the most accurate retro “tribute” line…I hope that I can at least grab one or two in the future, as I really want to support this line. I also really like what I’m seeing with that Ringmasters Zbyszko, I wish it was a little less Mattel looking, but barring a super high price point, I’ll be picking this up… Yeah, I'm not a Popy collector but I could easily see myself getting the Dynamite variants, but right now they're not a priority. I only reserve some of my spare cash for wrestling figures and I'm tied up with the retros ATM.

So incredibly excited for this figure. Raven is my number 1 most wanted retro figure (followed only by Vampiro and I doubt anyone will make one). I cannot wait for series 2

I cannot wait for series 2 I wouldn't say Vampiro is farfetched, tbh. I could see ZST possibly doing him rather than Chella, though, although for my own wallet's sake I'd rather it be Chella, lol. I love the OSFTM version, it's one of my favourites.

I thought Raven had his arms out in the signature pose?

I thought Raven had his arms out in the signature pose? yeah there will probably be a hinge/joint in the arm/shoulder to swing the arms upwards to create the T
the next question is whether the elbows will be articulated or is it molded as a straight arm?

I zoomed in on the picture and it looks like there is a hinge. I think H&F is using a different kind of elbow articulation. At least it’s not one I’m familiar with.

On my stupid large monitor, I can see the articulation points at both the shoulders and the elbows on this one. I think what I'm most curious to see at this point is what approach is taken for Raven's shirt. He always wore shirts that created copyright issues when trying to convert to a plastic medium. Did ZST go the extra mile to work out an agreement with Neil Gaiman?

On the sketch he was wearing a Melvins shirt, and Zombie said he was tying to work a deal with the band.

TBH, if he was able to somehow get the Sandman shirt design, I'd have to seriously consider going in on it. That would make for the best Raven figure of all time.

Congrats! Baba is my favorite though it looks like he would tower over Popy Andre…but that is Popy’s scale issue more than anything. Would be awesome to see JSD get to do an Andre. http://instagram.com/p/Cdx0-FtsXiX Found a comparison.

Must say I'm really excited to get my Dino Bravo / Hebner / Jarrett from Zombie. The final Dino figure looked like it could fit straight in with the original line. Will wait till the figs are in hand for a definitive opinion, but I am fine waiting for something that is (hopefully) great quality.
Really excited for many retros from Chella as well. I did not open my Dynamite Kid - but will def be ordering more from them like Haku, Valentine, and others.

I was fortunate enough to catch a Dino they put up for sale earlier this week, so I'm officially in on the ZST after bending to Chella last month. I'm hoping like hell I'll get a chance at a Jarrett and Earl at some point, especially Double J I'm a sucker for anything of the Jakks-BCA era popping up in a retro. As someone who grew up on Jakks longing after Hasbro's it's a perfect cross-section of my collecting motivations.
