All well and good until we have concrete details. Preorder much? In Hand samples?

I've got it for you. Pretty good looking to me. Now when's the pre-order?    Right?! Still just a concept. |

I’d have to imagine they’ll run into the same problem with DDP and Heenan as they did with DiBiase.
The packaging looks great though. Does anyone have a photo/video of Kerry in the jacket he’s supposed to come with?

It's a "really, really major" name nobody has done. So take major with a grain of salt - it can be a big name in wrestling history without being a huge name from a marketing standpoint. I'm guessing maybe Buddy Rogers or Pedro Morales. I still want to see some concrete details on price and timeline. But I think some figures will eventually see the light of day. The Vern Gagne bedsheets? Probably not so much. I was actually thinking about Buddy Rogers too. Trying to remember who hasn't had a Mattel or Jakks figure, Rogers, Morales, and Dory Funk Jr. come to mind. Mil Mascaras? |

Packaging looks amazing, but like everyone, I need to see them deliver. I gave up on all the indy lines recently. Great figures, but way too many delays from all of them .
Watching Some World Class tonight , I’d love to see a Gino Hernandez figure made from these guys

Packaging is quite sexy. Personally, I think they should've went with a photo of Brody instead of a close up of the figure but whatever.
Rogers and Morales are both plausible choices. But assuming "major name" or whatever phrasing they used is just the usual pro wrestling hyperbole, It could be Exotic Adrian Street or David Von Erich for all we know.

Not sure about the cross sell on the back, but the other aspects (the flap, the design, the little bio on the inside flap etc) look amazing
This is the best in package design I’ve seen from these indie companies and I would go as far as better than mainline mattel designs.
It looks like a collectors item, not just a toy.
I don’t buy into their concept of 6 different avenues to go down and bring more than a toy line but this looks great
Being super critical and the only thing I don’t like is the call out with the title. I think that makes it look more like a toy than collectable but I can overlook that cos the rest is so good.
If you look at this it looks like it was designed by a professional rather than just copying / taking inspiration from a previous design (all the retro stuff) snd chellas undisputed line which looks like it was designed as part of a gcse project

It actually reminds me a bit of the Remco 8 inch universal monsters package. I suppose its possible its the same designer.

I don't think any company has really nailed belts at a mass-produced scale, sadly. Most of Jakks' belts looked like cheap garbage (although I still love the 1/500 ECW and Big Gold belts). Mattel's belts are often too shiny imo, and scale is all over the place. Super7 went with minimal paint and theirs just look bad. The only belts I really love are from the small scale crafters like Forbidden Figurines and Turnquist. |

I don’t mind the belt itself from what we can see, it’s the little graphic on the box I’m not a fan of. Reminds me of when you used to get a little toy in cereal or something |

I disagree with that because without that graphic, I wouldn't know what that belt was. I don't know or have never seen a PWF Belt. So it's cool they tell you what it is.

That reminds me, I have a bunch of the diecast Japanese belts that I have been meaning to sell. I was in my office closet and noticed them still collecting dust. imgur.com/a/5LL80mJNot my photos but you get the idea. |

I've got it for you. Pretty good looking to me. Now when's the pre-order? Right?! Still just a concept. If they can produce something that looks even 90% as good as this. I'm in! Bit unsure of the concept of using PWF (assuming Powertown Wrestling Federation) fantasy titles though, unless its a design of an old territory belt that they're skirting around the copyrights? Anyway, this is extremely promising |

Pacific Wrestling Federation. It was the main governing body of the All Japan titles, similar to IWGP and GHC today.

Tbf eveb putting it up to pre order still doesn’t make it more than a concept, we’ve seen pretty orders before any meaningful development has taken place. I think if they do this and put the up for ore order then they come shortly after that’s better then putting ore order up too early which others do |
