I didn’t know that. And since they can’t be discussed, I never would have learned that. I was once told by someone from RSC that they had some sort of a business deal or agreement some time ago and it went very badly. They didn’t elaborate in any way so it’s a little more than just being a competitor. That said, WFigs/RSC also doesn’t allow people to discuss a few other major online competitors. Coke doesn’t worry about Pepsi, WWE doesn’t worry about AEW, surely after all these years RSC/WFigs can lose the censorship. |

He's said that French Angel orders will ship next week... he said "they're just in the other room" a few weeks ago
and to date, still hasn't shown an image of the final figure that he will be shipping to people who paid for it over 2 years ago
the phrase "grifters gonna grift" seems apt right now

In the interest of fairness, he has shown a number of them in his live videos. Currently he is only missing the card back to add to the clamshell plastic. He is assembling all himself. He claims he has personally tested all of them which means a small part of Sal will always be with his customers. This generous offer was posted minutes ago: http://instagram.com/p/C8bGYC3sQv5 |

He claims he has personally tested all of them which means a small part of Sal will always be with his customers. This generous offer was posted minutes ago: ah, his live videos where there's no recording to return to, so no-one can hold him to the claims he's made in previous videos?
what kind of shitshow is this really? people paid, in good faith, two years ago for a figure that A) has NEVER met any of his own hype or timelines
then he made claims that they're "in a box, in the other room" but didn't think "Hey, this would be a great opportunity to go and get one, show it to the people and restore some faith in my brand"?
then he said - he's going to pack them all himself why?? is he admitting he's basically just a bootleg Etsy seller now?? and why does he have to "personally test" his figures?? doesn't that demonstrate that his lack of quality control, if he can't even be confident that his own choice of factory could deliver the quality of the goods he paid them for? and it's a bit late to "test" figures that you've A) already received the production run, and B) have absolutely no interest in engaging with the factory to re-run broken/replacement parts
he said in the previous (now deleted) video that he had the cards, so obviously that's BS. like the rest of his nonsense. if he's waited this long to start shipping them, he may as well wait for the fairytale cloaks too.
I feel sorry for anyone buying a Pooh figure from this scammer. he's obviously found a new market for his grift, and I hope people don't fall for it.

What's "the signed card" that's being offered?

I did wonder why I couldn't watch his videos after they happened! |

Can’t say I am in the habit of going to his page so him not posting the videos would be news to me. I happened to see that he was live and watched for a moment last night. Same thing when he went live a few weeks ago and was showing off that he had the figures in-hand. Yes, it seems as though he has poor quality control and is a small operation (obviously). At this rate I’m not sure it matters that he admitted to testing them himself. On one hand it shows how little confidence in your factory and hired QC…as well as how few you’ve sold. On the other hand, if he is testing them like he did on camera, they’re definitely in better shape than my Larry Z as that level of play would have broken him.
As for the delay in card back, Sal says that he went with different factories for the plastic clamshell as well as the cardback.
The signed card I believe is done by the artist who painted the portraits of each character from series 1.

It's beyond comical at this point. Countless deadlines missed, excuses made. If you held peoples money for 2 years the absolute last thing that should be holding up delivery is the card back and bubble. He has known for how long that he himself would he packaging the figures by hand? Those card backs should have a 2" layer of dust on them just waiting for the figures. It's truly always something.

Already seeing varying seams in his French Angel photos, I’ll grab the popcorn! Yeah…I noticed that. It also appears to suffer from blurry face syndrome, mixed skin color, and cartoonish body hair. It was never going to be a good figure but I’m glad we will soon be able to close the book on this one. http://instagram.com/p/C8iBjVQPfeP |

I've seen customs made by 6yr olds that look better than this
seriously, Rush should include a full reimbursement (including postage costs) for anyone who paid for this debacle, as part of sending them that shitshow

Tbh, from looking at his Instagram page, the other non wrestling stuff he puts out is pretty cool. His company's abilities just don't seem to extend, or translate well with wrestling. |

and all of them have underwhelmed compared to the artwork he used to scam people into buying these abominations
I just feel sorry for anyone buying the Winnie the Pooh products

I think the Winnie stuff looks pretty good, if that's actually the quality of the final product that he's shown. That kind of stuff on a good card will be great display pieces, imo. Winnie's not my thing but I like his miniatures and his other monster stuff. His wrestling figures fall short, though. |
