It's interesting to see the reaction, because I thought both Brian and Matt (especially the latter) came off much kinder to the figures than I was expecting and frankly much kinder than the visuals in their respective videos would lead me to believe they would or arguably should have been.

It's good that they made Chelsea bigger but they should have fixed the issue on Luna before those figures ever shipped. Travesty. Hopefully Zombie and PowerTown can both get around to making Luna.

I feel like adding an elite chain to godfather will really take it up a notch Great idea, I don't know why I didn't think of that. It looks better with the chain. Figure is still a bit meh though. I like the cigar, but I wish it had one more point of articulation on the right arm, but overall it's still good.  |

Man, that Godfather face is pretty horrible when you see it that close. Hate to be negative, but...

Man, that Godfather face is pretty horrible when you see it that close. Hate to be negative, but... the whole figure just looks "off" to me - he's too thin for his size, Godfather is a bulky guy, but this figure doesn't have that bulk about it
the tattoos are just minimal, Godfather is COVERED in tats, so why release a figure with less than 10% of the tats and far less than the Hasbro had, that he's modelling it on?
and the head.... good lord!! that head is just not good. it's too thin, it looks nothing like him, and I think the skin colour is wrong too, so even if the skin colour was darker, I still don't think that face/head sculpt would work as it's just not him.

I just got my shipping confirmation for all the Grapplers Stuff i ordered from rock 'n roll collectbls.
Can this be true?
Or do they send you a tracking number months before the shipment goes out?
Savio, MoM and the godwinns are in this package says the confirmation.

MWF pod put up all the line who currently have a figure out
Lots lf love for G&G which is great to see, are they perfect? No but they are imo and the opinion of lots they’re the closest to hasbro which after all is the intention of the line.

Are we just meant to ignore it and talk about other stuff? I'm so confused! |

But dont be sad, the first g&g godfather fail pressing without mustage will be a very rare and expansive figure in the future. 😉 |

Imagine the global icon is ZST himself? Capone’s Vault.

No idea what to expect at this point with whoever ZST has signed. It is guaranteed to disappoint some people. My hopes are that these figures work out as it would be nice to have some other figures in this form factor…but I might be in the minority on that one. It really just depends upon who is out there. Random celebrities kind of seem pointless but getting several/all major characters from movies or tv shows would be cool. I’m not sure I need a mixed collection of say Jerry Springer, Dave Thomas, and Bo Jackson. All cool dudes but not really something I would need to collect. Innnn other news: Rush showed off James Storm for series 2: www.instagram.com/reel/CtyANfzv1jv/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==Even if people are let down by ZST’s big announcement, don’t forget that you can get your own Zombie figure by collecting Rush’s Monster Masters line (no affiliation with Josh Sailor). http://instagram.com/p/Ctj4DUExBGp I think this fell through the cracks but Grapplers and Gimmicks showed off the prototype Oscar: http://instagram.com/p/CtnPhwNsFB4 Thanks to the MWFP for bringing it to my attention but it appears as though Wrecollect is still alive? They made a post a few months ago about releasing this custom stage/backstage area. It isn’t available on their website and I have yet to hear back. It would still be a fun piece to have (much like the barbershop): http://instagram.com/p/CqJ7qgwslNR |

I’m expecting it to be Kevin Costner due to Zombie’s weird obsession with him. It’s a reach but it also makes sense.

Oscar looks great, hope the painter(s) for the mass production has the same skills than this one.

Just got my Tony Norris in from G&G and I am more than satisfied with my purchase. Great looking card thats durable, and looks great in my display. Godfather admiringly doesn't look great, but all of the figures going forward look better than the 1st 2. Definitely recommend giving Ahmed/Tony a buy if your on the fence. Photos in Google Drive - apologies I have no clue how to embed photos! ![]() |

For zombies non wrestling figure , I’m guessing it’s gonna be Stallone or Arnold . Two guys can spin to make various figures of in different gimmicks.

Finally received my Ahmed. Card arrived dusty , which disappointing, but This one I planned to open so not a big deal. The skin tone I will say is off when you look at it closely. Displaying the figure with others the skin tone doesn’t seem to stick out to much. Figure has minor paint imperfections, however it doesn’t have the squeak sound we seen in the major reviews. Overall I am pleased with the figure , il be buying more grapplers & gimmicks. The pre order to in hand time has been great , Mitch listening to the consumers , like he showed with savio head gives me hope he will take the criticism of these figures and work the kinks out. Not the best retro released to date , but by far not the worst either.
