A bit of news that could impact the figure world: It looks as though there will be delays in the Panama Canal due to drought. Remember, even if your figures aren’t being maneuvered through there, it would create a massive supply chain disruption that could throw off damn near everything. Hopefully it doesn’t come to that and factories aren’t backed up/cargo containers aren’t left sitting. Start your Christmas shopping early, folks! I bet Zombie Sailors figures are on 'the boat' that is stuck in the sand....conveniently....lol wouldn't surprise me, perhaps he should have paid for air delivery instead |

Hey just told me, for the third time, Friday.. If he was smart he'd ship the orders of the people complaining to get them off his back. I can't see how this guy is gonna stay in business with inferior quality product, major shipping issues and horrendous customer service. Not a recipe for success lol |

I can't see how this guy is gonna stay in business with inferior quality product, major shipping issues and horrendous customer service. Not a recipe for success lol In this case the question may be allowed: Did you even order anything from him ever? The quality is definitely better than any other retro style figures. Yes, there were issues with some figures (most notably the tattoos with Danhausen). But compared to others his quality issues are minor. If he is indeed trying to improve the quality from wave to wave there is nothing to be worried about. |

Sorry about that. Rush is announcing the Monsters preorder for October. Not linking because this fraud doesn’t deserve any kind of promotion. I doubt people will habe their orders of Series 1 shipped out before (if ever). |

Are you asking who is PN News or KWK? PN news He wrestled briefly in WCW in the early 90s. He had a rapper gimmick, like Men on a Mission. I think his biggest feud was with Big Josh (Matt Borne) while in WCW. He also worked in ECW in 1999.  |

I’d actually like a PN News figure….I think they both look cool, but not sure how they will fit in with hasbros - seems to be based on the earthquake mold, but the arms & legs look a bit off.
And not sure how easy they are get in U.K. or of the price point either.
Might just stick to making a custom.

Anybody ordered Mantor? I happily skiped this as I don’t want to support this guy.
600 figures are said to go into production which sounds like a pretty small run.

For anyone who may not know, PN News had a WCW Galoob prototype made in what was to be the unreleased next wave, along with the Diamond Studd (Scott Hall) Ricky Morton, Ric Flair in a robe, the Freebirds in robes, etc... I'd love to see some of those figures made, preferably in Galoob style, but I'd take the now tiring Hasbro style, I guess. PN News would really stand out on display, IMO. wrestlingfiguredatabase.com/products/galoob-wcw-unrel-pnnews |

On KWK’s Instagram, he has two PN News variants painted by different people. Skin colour is completely different. Kind of a weird thing to do.

Plus with how things have been with Rush figures, I'd rather wait to see how they've turned out first. Not taking anymore chances. ZST and Epic are the only ones I'm into at the moment. |

Totally agree. I must admit that I was very tempted as Mentaur would have fit right into the Hasbro era, but in the end I decided to not support this guy. His appears to be a fraud („good luck finding me in Asia“). It helped that the sculpt wasn’t very convincing. Small feet amd way too fat. |

I think KWK figures look OK, a little large but not bad but I've been saying that the issues with Rush really hurt KWK, I'm not preordering from a new company anymore. Put out products and then I will order

I think KWK's figures look pretty good, decent names as well, as long as they're not held together with rabbit semen like Rush's "collectors figurines" were.
