The sketches HAVE declined -- but the sketches Rudat did for the early figures are truly amazing. Look at that Hebner -- it's as good a drawing as any actual Hasbro

Honestly? I’m not feeling these as a continuation to the Hasbro line, but it would be rad to start an ECW collection.

Really, really, pumped for the way these signings are going. Pillman is awesome. I never envisioned myself wanting a Hasbro-esque ECW collection, but once these started, I realized getting new ECW figures at all in this fashion was just incredible. I honestly hope he gets to some stuff where the OSFTM line dropped off. So Spike Dudley, Doring and Roadkill, Corino in trunks, Mikey Whipwreck, and Simon Diamond.

I'm not sure, hope he's at least in ring gear, think he was still wearing the horsmenesque tights in WWF, just with his symbol thing on them instead of the 4H. Maybe we get more than one version though hopefully? |

I don’t know if I’m gonna be able to let a 40$ retro style figure breathe, but God I need a proper Bruiser Brody Figure.

obviously i am a huge Pillman fan and I am super stoked for this one.
Zombie is killing it lately with signings. I just wish these weren't $50 a pop with tax/shipping. I would get a whole lot more like the Jarrett. But I'm only getting the guys i really want.

Nick Gage added to series 2 of Heels and Faces line.
Obviously trying to make the most of his recent exposure on AEW and Dark Side of the Ring, which makes sense as I would t imagine there’s be a massive fan following (compared to mainstream guys at least).
Pretty interesting and cool though…

The arms don't seem AS bad as the Earl Hebner, but who knows with the positioning. Otherwise, great sculpt. I guess Zombie doesn't care people have issues with the arm....

Yeah I mean some of the hasbros were off like the macho / Martel sculpt but I still think that’s be best hasbro sculpt I guess the thing with these is they’re being touted as the best and if your going to make that claim it needs to be backed up |

Just had a chance to finish listening to the Silver Linings episode with ZST (available on the MWFP Patreon). There was quite a bit of news coming out of it so I’m going to try and remember what the highlights were:
There will be a ring (it’s well into development and will “knock our socks off”).
He’s working towards accessory packs.
Raven will likely come with a pleather soft goods jacket
ZST is working hard towards signing Owen Hart.
Terry Funk signed
Masato Tanaka signed?
Rock n Roll are signed and it sounded like Midnight Express and Heavenly Bodies were likely.
Says Chella and the Adam Bomb deal with his name isn’t going to end well/he wouldn’t touch that one with a 10 foot pole.
Pre orders for series 2 will likely go up in October. He doesn’t want too many pre orders available before products are actually in hand (to avoid what Super7 and others went through).
He seemed positive/responsive to other former ECW talent like New Jack,
Zombie wants to lean away from anything that would be legally difficult where a character might not be available by name or by look (was worried about Dino Bravo for example). This was in response to a question about W. Mercy.
Sounds like Chris Hero signed with Masked Republic?
Dances around the Kevin Costner figure a bit.
Plans to release 15 physical figures a year to sell.
ZST is all for doing repaints in the future (sounds like he wants to target event specific things for limited releases/special editions). Mentioned NYCC, SDCC, Live Major pod events, etc.
Wants to release figures until there is no one left to sign/doesn’t see an end to this line until people stopped buying.
Trying to sign Medusa/Blaze but she won’t return his messages.
Has tried to get a hold of Fink’s family but that’s all that was said.
