The video announcing fuller said he would get 3 figures. one in hasbro scale, 6in scale (which i assume is ghostbuster size) and 7in which would go with our zeus and rip mattel figs.  That’s actually kind of cool. Hopefully it is cost effective though. |

MItch posted on IG that Men on a Mission have arrived at his house and shipping should take 1-2 weeks. Paintgate 2023 not withstanding, props to Mitch for getting the figures out quickly and not going cheap on the shipping. Intrigued to see how these look in person as Ahmed was an improvement over that awful Godfather.

I get that Fuller was in NBH and other stuff, I’ve watched those movies and didn’t even know his name until now. He was always one of those, “that guy” actors. Bruce Lee is a name you’d expect to move units. Is he though? At this point in time? He died in the early 70's if I remember correct. Would the people that grew up watching him really be in that big of a force in 2023 and be collecting toys? I grew up well after Bruce Lee died and I would buy a Bruce Lee figure. His movies are still available. He’s in the UFC games. I was very young when Bruiser Body died, I can still watch his matches and want his Power Town. |

Always wanted one since the Hot Toys release but did not want to pay a premium price. Happy to habe a representation in a unique style. |

Just watching the FigHeel review of Men On a Mission. They look absolutely fantastic.
Night and day compared to Ahmed and Godfather.

Credit where credit is due: they look great and seem well made by current standards. The only thing I will circle back to is the choice to go yellow over gold. Now that we can see that yellow appears to be the primary paint color, I feel like skeptics have more weight behind their claims. Had they been solid gold as the primary or even purple, it might have had a different result (visually). Ironic that Mabel’s tooth is gold.
All that said, I had some regrets about not ordering them after seeing FigHeel’s video.

and it makes me think they're on the money with their speculation - the factory made the decision/change and he's tried to pass it off as his decision - Mitch should have just been honest, he received a product he wasn't expecting and tried to make the best of the bad situation, rather than call out his factory and lack of involvement in the decisions they've obviously made about what they're producing over what he thought they were making

This sounds a lot like a Dave Meltzer of the wrestling figure world….only surely it’ll just be far less successful rumour & innuendo click bait 😂 |

Some other Zombie whopper posts after this 6/21/2022 ZST IG: "The Glory is making their action figure debuts later this year!" 7/12/2022 ZST IG: "Johnny Gargano already in production and coming to you sooner than you think!!" (If you guessed 14 months you don't win the pony) Multiple September 2022 ZST IG "Preorder September 2022" (preorder takes place October 27) 9/26/22 ZST IG: "Ric Flair Collection coming Summer 2023" 10/17/22 ZST IG: "Series 3 will be right out as Series 2 is shipping. We will have it all sorted out" 10/24/22 ZST IG: "Raven is expected to ship in the summer while the other 5 figures is estimated to ship in Feb/March" 10/27/22 ZST IG: "Looking at early summer if no further delays" So 4 month delay occurred within 3 days 11/23/22 ZST IG: "Heels and Faces series 2 and every figure going forward teh wait times will be 5 months or less as we have around 2 dozen new figures already completed at the factory" 12/7/22 ZST IG: "Surprise Johnny Gargano drop that will ship this summer" 12/9/22 ZST IG: "Amish Roadkill is coming to Heels and Faces in 2023" (have heard nothing about this since) 12/20/22 ZST IG: "Long time veteran Mr. Hughes will make his Heels and Faces debut in 2023" (have heard nothing about this since) 1/3/23 ZST IG: Announces 6 Inch Line which will come out in the summer after series 2 is released 2/7/23 ZST IG: "Coming later this year Heels & Faces will bring you the Road Warriors!!" 2/13/23 ZST IG: "Mark Sterling will be IN HAND this summer" 3/7/23 ZST IG: "Nick Gage - Cardona 2 pack will be in hand this summer and will be an instant sell out" 4/6/23 ZST IG: "Mike Shaw will be this years SDCC Orange Card exclusive IN HAND IN JULY!" 4/10/23 ZST IG: "Series 2 leaving the factory in a couple of weeks" 5/22/23 ZST IG: "Series 2 and Johnny Gargano leaving the factory the week of June 12th" 6/12/23 ZST IG: "Series 2 leaving the factory shortly!" 7/7/23 ZST IG: "Series 2 has left the factory" Sorry once I got going I went deep into the rabbit hole. Seems like ZST has spent more time on his Bruce Lee figure and trying to make the greatest Tony Norris figure of all time instead of producing ANY FIGURE on his own created timelines. I have a Bundy and Mike Shaw coming which I am sure will be solid products like the Dino Bravo and Jeff Jarrett I have. The timeframes, the lies and the constant belittling of other companies makes you not want to do business with him. His roster for Series 3 is one of the better ones fitting the hasbro line and I would love to get the Barry Horowitz and Bad News Brown he showed 2 years ago. Feels like the retro bubble has definitely taken a hit from all the pre-orders with Chella's blowup and Zombie's glacial speed being big reasons for burn out IMO. Sad bc I like what Mitch has been doing and have ordered many of his figures. The new stuff Epic is showing looks phenomenal and I even rolled the dice on the KWK Mantaur. But the ZST timelines are comically bad and we needed these for posterity. Posts like this always scare me a little bit. Sometimes no news is better than telling us it's close to shipping. |

Or Zombie could be honest and say what changed that he did not meet a SINGLE deadline that he posted. Even if it's a factory issue, he should say something. But if people keep buying, I guess he doesn't care. I wouldn't buy after this until it's in hand.

Just post a daily update. It's not hard to go "No news, still waiting for port arrival." Even that's better than radio silence.

That was my complaint back during the Chella debacle, just create a Wfigs account, since a good portion of your customers post here, and give little updates every few days, even if there's no update. Radio silence is insulting. |

It’s been so long that I don’t remember if he did a rage quit or if mods/admins stepped in during his…episode. |

the solution is simple - just don't preorder any more ZST figures and wait till they hit PWTs instead
(which is where all of his figures go after he's sold the first wave of them)

That is likely my plan. No need to spend money until they are available in hand.
