On this Thanksgiving weekend, as I marvel at my Demolition Big Rubber Guys, I want to express my genuine gratitude for this opportunity at continuing the LJN line (done right) more than 30 years later! Truly amazing!

It’s a great time to be a collector I agree, so many possibilities now.

Just saw the latest Kyle Peterson YouTube video. He said Hogan is now available across brands (for a large price, I’m sure), and suggested getting a Big Rubber Guy of him. I’d never really considered him, but I hadn’t been considering Savage either until the announcement. So now I’m actually excited to see what they could do with Hogan for this line! I would be perfectly ok with a new modernized pose hogan. Squatting hogan needs an upgrade by now. |

Anyone else have their Demolition figures stuck in pre-shipment? Mine have said "Shipping Label Created, USPS Awaiting Item" since November 20.

Anyone else have their Demolition figures stuck in pre-shipment? Mine have said "Shipping Label Created, USPS Awaiting Item" since November 20. Should update by the end of the week. We received a shipment of figures with damaged packaging, and we had expected to receive replacements on Thursday (11/16). However, we regret to inform you that UPS had lost the package in transit. We have taken immediate action to arrange for replacements, which are scheduled to be delivered this week. Once we have the replacements in our possession, we will ship them out to you right away and your tracking will update then. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this delay may have caused. |

Does PowerTown sign exclusive deals? If not, with their recent JYD announcement, he would be great in this line! Especially with the white tights with stars and a real metal chain!

Thank you for the update. While it stinks that you've run into these issues, I am at least glad that the post office didn't lose my package. I'm really excited to finally get Demolition! I am a big fan of this line so far and appreciate the communication and transparency about the shipping issues. I am looking forward to getting the British Bulldogs next! |

In Kyle Peterson’s YouTube weekly toy news video posted yesterday, he said that the British Bulldogs Big Rubber Guys would be going up for order this week. With these supposedly already in production and, at one point, planned to be an in-stock order (as opposed to pre-order), what is the expected order of releases now? Would these likely come sooner than Savage/Andre? Or even Slaughter/Jannetty/Flair? It’s exciting developing this collection!

They’re already in production in the sense that we are just waiting to pull the trigger with the order. The molds, prototypes, and approved samples are done. |

So will they “jump the line” in terms of getting them earlier than other preorders? Or just speed along the process but still be after the Savage/Andre set? |

And I think we are already moving fast. But we are always working to improve! |

And I think we are already moving fast. But we are always working to improve! Definitely faster than other toy lines. My impatience is a testament to how much I love these! I can’t wait! Was Kyle right, btw? Is the Bulldogs order this week? |

Imo, too soon and too much going on financially for a Bulldogs preprder this month. I thought it was going to be January anyway.

But to my knowledge the exact preorder dates haven’t been announced. They’ve been 2 week windows though, for what it’s worth. |

Finally received my Demolition figures today. These look awesome! The only disappointment is that I got the chase versions. I wish I'd known that sooner so I could have ordered a regular set when Ringside had them. At least it seems like they've gotten away from random chase figures for this line.
I am kind of torn now on whether to keep the figures. The detail is incredible but I really wanted the more iconic face paint. I am a MOC collector but I guess I could always display them loose with the masks on. Any thoughts from others who got the chase version?

I like that they are going to an alternate-order system now, instead of blind chases. Seems like a lot of us wanted the more traditional looks over the chases. I also like Kyle Peterson’s idea of Ringside waiting to put theirs up a little while so those who got the original orders could order the alternates we didn’t get from them. Oh well, bumps in the road early in the line, I suppose. |

Im going to be as much of a completist on this line as possible so i have both sets. I opened the regular versions and kept the chases carded. The nice thing about the packaging is i can always swap and interchange as desired if i want too. The goofy eye paint application on the chase ax is my biggest problem with the chase set. But its amazing to finally have actual ljn figures right now so it isn’t a huge issue |
