Any other internationals get an email from Zombie Sailor Toys asking for another $10 to ship Booger? Says he didn't charge enough for postage and our options are to pay $10 or cancel? (Australia) Yep. The type of amateurish stuff I should have expected. Asked for another $8 to the UK. Yet he claims to be “the best” and the only real company… Seems like he can’t get the basics right |

KWK has just announced his shipping at $12US using 4 different suppliers before his preorder goes live. ZST have zero idea and refuse to learn. KWK has released zero figures and was originally releasing other “officially licensed” figures but forgot to pay the wrestlers or their estates. When confronted about this he basically said what is anyone going to do about it? And to try and find him in China. I bet his customers will have similar experiences. But please tell us again what ZST or anyone else can learn from him. This. KWK needs to prove himself trustworthy. |

Jeff Jarrett is especially awesome, and fits beautifully with the rest of my Hasbros. |

Gee maybe giving loads of money to grifters and con men for badly executed figures is a bad idea

I've said it before and I'll say it again, ZST at least has a bunch of figures out there. KWK, Rush, Epic, wtf are they actually doing?

hopefully, if Epic's figures are in hand by the end of August, they can have a chance at redeeming some of the lost faith, but right now (and 3poajamie may want to chime in here) I wonder exactly how many more figures they'll be able to produce and ship to customers before 2023 is out.
as of right now (could be different behind the scenes, but from all public info as of this minute) we're coming into August tomorrow and Series 2 still hasn't arrived in the UK... doesn't bode well for their plans for getting Demolition and PoP into customers hands before October/November

KWK should be a banned name around these parts, its sounding more and more like a scam by the day
no wonder Rock & Roll have walked away now, don't blame them

Epic themselves are doing fine, no struggles at all behind the scenes. Of course they would love to work in silence and get these figures out with a much shorter lead time than we have been experiencing but as people have paid for pre-orders from Chella and (rightfully) need to know updates it is difficult to do so. Series 2 will be in Epics hands in the next 10 days or so all being well and then shipped out to customers. Plan has always been to not have Demolition and PoP up for pre-order until S2 are in the customers hands. This has not changed and these 2-packs are already way into production. Of course the takeover of Chella has not been easy but the main goal at this stage is to get the figures that have had pre-orders taken (albeit with Epic not seeing a penny of this pre-order money) fulfilled. We will be having Epic on the show once S2 are out to discuss the line going forward, what is coming out, which series they are coming out in and a breakdown of timescales. Will update once this episode date is locked in. |

Kwk has mantaur up for pre order , with a price tag of $45 pre shipping, not sure if the asylum price will be the the same or not
Did notice this info -
Pre-order ends September 1st, approximately 6 months of production after the pre-order process and delivery. .
Not sure how everyone else feels , but the days of pre ordering from an unproven company are in the past for me . even tho I’d like a mantaur for the collection , the shady trademark stuff other comments he made and the prototype stomach seam is enough for me to sit this one out.

Ordered Mantaur from Asylum, I don't feel too bad about it, it's through asylum and paypal, plus only felt the need for 1, not multiples. I will order a Max Moon too, but that's it for now as far as I'm aware from this company for now, hope things go well for them. |

it does not take 6 months to manufacture a plastic figure, unless you're literally starting at the very start and in such a crowded market like we have now, there's no need to take any chances on a cowboy outfit who haven't even invested a penny in getting their own line ready to go. |

What happened to KwK’s Kamala? I was told it was addressed in some podcast? Have no clue what or where to find this. Anyone got the lowdown? I’m guessing he just lost the rights for some reason? Shame. That Kamala figure looked amazing.

He has said a few times the eta is 4 months but is saying 9 months just to be safe. |

Behave Because he has been known to lurk here and we were talking about how he was demanding an extra $8 or have your order cancelled and then 1 person says they got $8...makes me suspicious. Telling me to behave makes me even more suspicious lol 😉 |

Are people really that worried about possibly being out of 45 bucks so much so that they’re passing on a superb looking figure? Or is there another reason. Like, with zst, whether people admit it or not, some don’t buy his figures because they don’t like him personally. Shawn hasn’t made a whole lot of friends either. Is that the real reason. Y’all can’t really think he’s just gonna steal your money and disappear.
