I opened up the Brody and the Magnum so far. Some quick notes. These figure are really well made, they have a nice weight to them. They are definitely bulkier than anything else out on the market. Brody is taller than the Ultimate Diesel. They don't have holes for a stand for those that use them. The belts are far too big to use with Mattel or Jazwares. I noticed the US title has the NWA branding on it, so maybe the 10 pounds of gold can be done? Also, the boots pop off very easily. I'm assuming this is by design because you have to put the kneepads on Magnum. Overall, I like these alot, but they don't scale perfectly with Mattel. Cardona said on (I think lat week's) MajorPod that his figure is coming with the NWA belt.

They should definitely add pegs, and it’s funny everyone was complaining about the belts being too small and now they’re too big for Mattel’s? And while they don’t need to necessarily abide by Mattel scaling, Brody should be shorter then Nash, obviously. The renders show Magnum with his wrist tape, so that’s disappointing from a QC standpoint. Yeah, the belts look really nice but the straps are insanely long. The smallest they can go is around Magnum's waist and he is much bulkier than a Mattel or Jazwares figure.

All good constructive criticism, but not sure what can be done.

For reference, Google has the guys listed as follows:
Magnum and Punk - 6'1 Austin - 6'2 Brody - 6'8 Nash - 6'10
Brody is definitely a bit out of scale, but if you throw Nash on a RSC stand, it probably comes out about perfect. If displaying them with others from the era, Brody is really only in the same height range as Studd and Andre.

No shipping notification yet. I’m in Canada. By chance, has anyone else in Canada ordered them and gotten a tracking number yet?

I ordered my set during the second wave. I'm also one state over from where they came from so maybe that had something to do with it?

I am going to try to be patient and stop checking my account for tracking every few hours, lol. I am going to only get worried if I don't see tracking by mid-afternoon on Friday.

Cracks me up how whiny everyone is about the shipping. If I didn’t get a shipping notification after like 7 business days from the shipping (last wednesday) announcement, I would maybe inquire, but have a little patience. I love mine btw. Just got them today

I ordered during the second preorder and mine were delivered today. This is a line I can really get behind.

If you're the only one that hasnt gotten their order, then maybe it's fair to think there's an issue. They're clearly in the process of filling orders. People need to chill a bit.

It stinks that some of these guys are locked with Mattel, since we'll only get one version of each. Some of the managers were wrestlers once, and could get figures like that (think Gorilla Monsoon in Classics line).

Here's a quick comparison. The belt is as tight as is can go. ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230605/cc344544a9df7fc38e249c37cf2fdc6e.jpg) Wow awesome. I didn’t get Magnum because Mattel but these are great looking figures

I received an email from powertown. I’m in Canada and inquired about shipping. I’ll quote the response:
“ I am trying to get a definite answer for you from our fulfillment center, but yes it seems that all American orders are being processed first.”
So, for anyone that ordered outside the states, seems we might have a little bit longer wait. Hopefully another week or so, and foreign orders will start moving.
