Not a big fan of the sketch but the H&F logo on the front is what I don’t love(wish it wasn’t as big)but I still think it looks great

Personally, I would have liked the sketch to be included on an inserte piece of paper. Much like the DC Direct Batman: The Animated Series figures had the character models. That way it's more of an art peice for people who care about Ron's connection to the original series.

That back is way to overloaded. While the concept art is nice, it shouldn’t be there. If he wants to include it, great! But better add it as an extra piece of its own, perhaps in the same size as the biocards. 🤷🏼♂️
Also I would have preferred a plain background. But that is my personal taste.
What matters more is the front which is close to being perfect in my eyes. The H&F logo is just awesome. 👏🏻

I checked ZST website, Twitter, Instagram and read through all recent comments…where do you see the new eta of 6-8 weeks? It was asked in a Facebook comment and he responded. If these don’t show up on my door step in February, I’m done. Done with all of it. I just can’t even. |

According to my calendar, we would like to wish you the best in your future endeavors. I can’t say I would blame anyone. I was losing it over Super7 and their lack of communication between NJPW and Andre figures. Given that I have Chella and Mattel to tide me over, I’ve been more patient about this line. The upcoming releases have also given me something to look forward to. I expect that a lot of kinks will be worked out by the time the first series is in hand.

Not that I blame you at all, but at least wait until you have them in hand. I know the shipping time and lack of it is putting a lot of people off, but I firmly believe once Series 1 is shipping then the next waves will go a lot quicker. If that doesn't happen, and this situation is there for every single series then walking away is what's gonna happen for a lot of people. I'm saying that and I don't have them on order so I'm not in the same position, but I'm optimistically trying to give Zombie the benefit of the doubt for the first series. If he's been sitting on my money this long though, with nothing but delays, I'd be pretty pissed. |

I ordered a set of series 1 first day they came up. I could care less when they arrive. I have no immediate need to have them in my hands tomorrow. Theyre toys. Not a necessity to life. I dont get that thought process. But thats me, and we're all different. Very much aware of that.

My thoughts on ZST are well-known, but I don't get the big deal about shipping time. They're clearly going to be here in 4-6 weeks -- that's pretty soon

Am I correct in thinking that these are totally sold out and won't be restocked? |

I don't think it looks good on card. I wonder how it looks next to Hasbros -- looking forward to seeing in person images... The figure itself doesn't exactly scream Hasbro, imo, but it's still a great piece and I'd definitely buy it if they ever get a restock. |

When, where, and how much has not been announced. It definitely sounds like you will get a second chance before having to go the third party route. |

Today he’s put up another carded sample - still not addressed they won’t be out by Feb apart from hidden in comments - why not just come out and let people know like chella did with their delay? |

True, but what's the point in collecting if not for being eager to have a particular item in hand or on the shelf? I can be patient, but the whole point in me buying this stuff is because I want it and I want it asap, lol. 🤷 |

I really hope so 🤞 I'm gutted he can't do RVD anymore, was hoping to pick up Sabu and Van Dam. I'm not hopeful of a halfway decent Mattel RVD retro. |

Dino looks tremendous, has more of a Hasbro look to me than Sabu does, not that it matters a great deal to me.

If he's been sitting on my money this long though, with nothing but delays, I'd be pretty pissed. Since his communication and updates are pretty consistent I really don’t feel uncomfortable as someone who has 2 of each + 3 Double J + 2 Danhausen on order. In fact I really do not even care about the missing communication of the delay as his updates are so consistent. The only thing I hated was the weird price increase on Danhausen during PO. Anyway... |

Yeah,the sketch in the back is really unfortunate. It looks cramped on there and really detracts from the slick presentation on the back.
There are other ways to get customers to see the sketches...
-card insert
-give customers the option of downloading a hi-res version of the image to print for themselves if they want.
-some kind of art of heels & faces book people can buy featuring Rudat's sketches and some other behind the scenes stuff. People love that kind of stuff.
