Some new names signed: Ukom Eric Mighty atlas Hard boiled haggerty Wilbur schnider Don Leo Jonathan Nick bockwinkle Jake the milkman Milliman The Tully brothers Tom rocky stone Kenny side buster Jay George scrap iron gadasky (This is from the major pod and I just quickly scribbled them down so my spelling might be off) Also high spots doing distro and want first series out before or week after Xmas. They will be doing 140 mini figs, I think like muscle figures. Aside from Bockwinkel, those are going to be some very tough sells. I wonder what the production run is going to be like for this company. |

I recognize most of the names on the list, but Bockwinkle is definitely the one I'm most excited for. One of my biggest wants from this line.
Mighty Atlas, George Gadaski, and the Tully Brothers are the only names not familiar to me.
Jake Milliman is a fun signing. He was like the AWA's version of Barry Horowitz back in the day, the perennial jobber to the stars. Not sure how much demand there will be for a figure of him though.

Just went through and googled those names. Most seem to be from the era just before I started watching.

So are they really expecting people to pay $45 a pop for figures of people on that list? I get that its limiting licensing people cause of WWE but, this feels like a serious disconnect with their customer base, if that is the case.

I consider myself to be pretty knowledgeable on wrestling history going back to the territory days, but  I haven't heard of 97% of guys on that list lol. It's almost like made up names |

Bock of course everyone knows.
Jake Milliman won AWA's infamous "Turkey on a Pole" match.
Don Leo was a pretty big name in the 60s and 70s.
Haggerty was an early days AWA guy.
Snyder gets credit for inventing the abdominal stretch.

I think most people might know of Yukon Eric from having a part in Killer Kowalski's lore.

If they all actually get made, I will buy them all. But only because I like FTI a L and "normal" looking wrestling figures. I only buy one of each figure anyway, so having these will be great. I don't need to have been a fan, or watched them on Saturday mornings. I can learn about them online.

They just put out a tweet showing the figures lined up
They do look great and they’re really going for accuracy on scale etc
I don’t think the belts look too small either which was a concern. These are pretty much all bigger guys: thez 6.2, Kerry 6.3, Hansen 6.4 brody 6.8 and the only belts which look small are thez and maybe gagne but the others look ok considering they’re on big guys
