Looks like I received my Larry Z from Rush while I was away. I just got home late last night and have to deal with some of my Mom’s medical stuff today but I will do a rundown/review once I have a chance (probably tomorrow). My plan is to open it up, pose it next to other figures, and then go through some of the same movements I saw both Matt Cardona and another poster here make. I don’t want this to be “the end of Rush” as others are claiming but it sure as hell had better be the beginning of better QC. That goes for Grapplers and Gimmicks too if they are using the same factory.

Size doesn’t necessarily = strength Cesaro is considered one of the strongest and if you watch some of his work out stuff it’s insane Likewise strong men don’t have big defined muscles etc. That's fair, I'll take your point on that. Will re-word my point then as; "the visual of a man with Matt Cardona's build "struggling" to pull apart/break a Retro Wrestling figure, be it ZST, Epic, RUSH, Mattel or G&G, considering his current and previous employment history, was quite comical to me"  I’m with you on that lol |

I’m trying to be a lot better about giving people the benefit of the doubt. It is hard to blame wrestling fans for being skeptical around wrestlers given the very carnie history of their industry. Even if completely legit, it was a funny visual to see Matt struggling to break the figure given that he looks like he could crush a cinder block with one bare hand.

Just watched Cardona open the Rush retros. LMFAO. People pay real money for that crap. LOL That’s ridiculous. They look terrible aesthetically, and they’re apparently of horrible quality as well. This is why I support ZST. Because his product is tremendous. Plain and simple. People can talk smack about the guy all they want, but his product is legit. These other startups are burying themselves by trying to compete with him. 100% agree. |

Big Bully figure being shown off. It’s oddly beautiful for such an unappealing, dull, throw-away character. If ZST were the only game in town, I would pick it up. But with the other companies pumping out bigger names, I think I’ll wait to pick this one up: www.instagram.com/reel/CvfEvmiOrky/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== |

That Sandman looks incredible so far imo. I'm here for all the ECW guys.
The Big Bully looks great, but man, I don't see people lining up to buy that one. That's a little too deep down the Hasbro era rabbit hole for me.

Go to the asylum store or anywhere selling mantuar and zoom in on that figure. If that’s the quality of the paint done on a figure used to advertise and creates sales, imagine what the figure you receive will look like.

I'm really having a hard time deciding to preorder from KWK. Mantaur looks alright but I haven't seen him by any hasbros to see the size comparison. Also after being very let down by Rush I'm not to excited to back a new company with the preorder model |

if a company wants me to invest in their new product, they'll first have to show me exactly what kind of quality product I'm paying for. no more blind faith preorders from me

Same here. Also, just one of these companies needs to show me that they can meet a deadline before I hand over any more pre-order money. |

I was listening to a Major Pod episode from *December* and Cardona said Zombie had shown him the production samples for Series 2. It's insane these are still not out in August. Doubt it can be all Zombie's fault, but he doesn't help make it better by not giving transparency.
