I've been impressed with how awesome the Zombie Sailor Retro-style figures look. They have signed a lot of talent that are needed in the 7" WWE Mattel/AEW Jazwares/etc. lines like Dino Bravo, King Kong Bundy, Big Bully Busick, Sabu, Raven, Kevin Sullivan, Hercules, Paul Roma, Bruiser Brody, etc. Chella has some characters like Adam Bomb that they have retro-style versions that they can eventually add to their 7" Uncensored Line which will already have Dynamite Kid, Sabu & Charlie Hass. I do not collect the Retro-style figures, even though I do own pretty much all the 1990's Hasbros. I love the way Zombie Sailor & Chella retros are looking but I don't have the money to collect all of those along with the 7" figures. They kind of remind me more of toys than action figures. I'm hoping Zombie Sailor follows Chella with a 7" figure line. What are your opinions of this? Thanks.

I would really be interested to see what he could do. I have a feeling he wouldn’t let crap fly like Super7 has…but I doubt that a 7” line is something Zombie would be passionate about. That seems to be important to him. You need that drive if you are going to put all of your time and creative energy (not to mention financial resources) into something like that. Could he? Yes? Should he? Probably not anytime soon. Will he? That remains to be seen. Time will tell.

Has he even released a retro figure yet?

He's struggling to even get the figures that people bought a year ago to them. He shouldn't bite off even more that he can't chew.

Funny how every few weeks we get an update from Ponzi Sailor saying the production is working around the clock.
And then it’s pushed back. Month after month after every blessed month.
And now apparently they are being shipping on a boat from China.
Buyers will be lucky to get their figs by Labor Day…

I thought Zombie Sailor crapped on some other toy maker for getting their stuff made by some nameless factory in China? Did his American made action figures take a detour to China and now have to be shipped back? The poor guy.

It doesn’t change much but I believe what he had said was that he was using a more reputable factory than his competitor.

The old saying about throwing stones and living in glass houses seems to be relevant here in some way some how... lol.

Lol dude shouldn’t even try anything OTHER than his series one figures. Get those into the hands of the people who paid him a year ago.
He talks so much crap about other companies but here we are no products to show for him while his competitors are pumping out figures left and right, and we haven’t heard a single derogatory remark from them about him
Dude is a clown imo and eventually things will come back to bite him. No reason he can’t just stay quiet and stop with the snarky remarks

Right now? No. In the future, why not. But in all honesty, get these damn Retro's in collectors hands first before branching out.

I'd be totally down for this if Jazwares isn't going to make some of the free agent legends floating around as Luminaries. I'd actually be fine with it either way because he'd probably make a hell of a Raven pretty early on.
He's got three years worth of Retro characters signed, though. So I don't expect this any time soon.
