Different strokes, I guess. I just found the whole thing cringeworthy and a bit embarrassing.
The Mabel figure, from what I've seen, seems to be getting praise for how good it is, paint choices and shine notwithstanding, rather than it not being that bad. It seems to be an odd choice of figure to go crazy about when most reviews seem to be rather positive.

What’s with that image of Andre on the backing card?
I mean I’m not an moc collector so it wouldn’t be an issues for me, but that image just looks creepy weird….

In a wave of pretty great looking figures, Bundy and Bruiser are absolutely beautiful. Fair play.

The images posted don’t look as great as the previous versions we have seen but that could be the lighting. Andre (my favorite wrestler to collect) looks particularly pale. Bundy almost appears to be lacking in detail but perhaps it’s my imagination. He is probably my favorite out of the series regardless. Raven appears uglier and I still don’t like the zipper on the jacket. Brody is awesome. Sullivan and Gage are as advertised.

The slightly less detailed look works for me. I prefer my Hasbro-esque figures with a simpler look. |

Yeah I noticed that too, the prototype colouring looked great but seeing him on card looked washed out like a milky colour..... |

I might be mistaken , the gage light tube and Brody vest , were supposed to be pre order bonuses? . Will these figures pop up several times down the line without those accessories for then , thus adding value / more rare then future releases of same figures.

you could probably sell a fourth-issue figure with the preorder bonus as "Pre-order Exclusive Edition" and no-one would be any the wiser

I guess that’s were I’m confused. I remember the danhausen arriving in the extra bag as you stated , but with brodies vest on and the light tube in the bubble , will there just be additional items in a bag sent for these orders or future releases won’t have either behind the bubble. |

Bundy was advertised as coming with interchangeable hands, they’re not packed on the cardback, but a separate baggy!? I don’t understand |

I ordered Bundy and Raven. Slightly disappointed I didn’t get Brody and Andre, but I am sure there will be a second round. Zero interest in the other two.
But … Raven. Upon closer look of the in-hand version, something is way off. His face is way different than what we’ve been seeing. Still looks like a good figure but it looks really off on the in-hand version. Maybe the mouth?

I think the only decent looking figures in the set are Bundy and Andre, and that Bundy is the only one that could possibly fit well in the original Hasbro line -- even though that was ZST's whole premise to begin with

Bundy and Andre look more like charapro figures. Raven looks like a Toybiz figure with the face of Matt Damon from Team America. Brodie looks good and actually somewhat resembles a Hasbro.
