Hate to be that impatient guy but just wondering with these how soon something ships after a label is created? I got the notification 4 days ago and still hasnt shipped evidently.

As someone on this thread who was clearly seen as “that impatient guy,” I can tell you that my shipping label email came Friday, and first sign of movement was today. So hopefully you get your movement signs soon too! |

So hopefully you get your movement signs soon too! Same timeframe for my shipping notice (Friday label, today in transit) It has been the norm so far with my previous orders too. My wait will be longer though as Im in Canada. |

Interesting to kind of have this confirmed. VintageFigs1 - To the best of your knowledge given the Legends deals you’ve read, are they always written to last through the agreed upon time period even in the event of someone’s passing? Not exactly sure |

Got my Savage and black-strap Andre today (2 days early!). Only had a brief moment to open and look at them before leaving for work, but very positive initial impressions. First off, a nostalgic new rubber smell instantly hit (and I have poor sinuses)! The Savage looks incredible. Yes, he’s more slender than the LJN, but like I posted earlier, he was slender in this era, so I actually like that attention to detail to differentiate him from the others in this line. The Andre is pale and face somewhat exaggerated, I feel. However, I don’t really take this line to be realistic. To me, it’s a continuation of the LJNs, with *a step up* in detail to give us more of the figures we imagined when we were kids playing with the LJNs, but not a huge *leap up* in detail to differentiate it too much from the original LJNs. Andre isn’t my favorite Big Rubber Guy, but he’s still a better and more accurate figure than any of his LJNs.
As a WWF 80’s guy, of who I have in this line, I’d currently rank them:
1- Smash
2- Ax
3- Macho
4- Jannetty
5- Andre
6- Slaughter
- I love my top 3, really like my bottom 3, and am still loyally all-in on WWF LJN-era! Keep em coming!

Yeah, while the LJN Savage fig looks great and iconic, I'd say it was maybe a little more buff than he actually was at that particular time in his career. So yeah, looks like his BRG is more accurately proportioned. Mine should be arriving Friday.

Wasn't the hasbro Andre just as pale as this? The big rubber guy seems to pay homage to that figure based on the pose and colors, same as savage for that matter.

The Andre, Macho and Demolition all have Hasbro inspired looks to them. Got a better look this evening. Macho is damn near perfect. If I wasn’t such a Demolition mark, he’d be my new favorite. My prior review of Andre stands. Great size and pose, but a tad too pale and exaggerated face to take it to the next level for me. Still like it a lot, just not a favorite. |

These honestly look better than LJNs to me, although I'm not an LJN guy, admittedly.
I am tempted to pick one or two of these up. What're they like price-wise with shipping for UK buyers?

Got my Andre (black singlet) and Macho yesterday! I was personally tickled pink that these two were paired together in this wave. Why?! Because the main event of the second WWF show that I ever went to (summer of '88) had Savage defending his world championship against Andre. Very special memory for me!

What're they like price-wise with shipping for UK buyers? £45-50 each from Wrestling Megastore UK. Sometimes get a slightly better deal if you order all 3 from a series. |

Your take on andre is in line with mine. Face looks too cartooish to me especially compared to the others that have a lot more realism in their faces. That being said, still happy to have it |

Received my set of 3 today (several pics/comparisons on my IG). I think this set gets better and better each wave. The pale skin on Andre doesn’t bother me or very noticeable in person. But next to that tan savage anything would look pale lol. If anything the Andre head sculpt could be better but he has been a tough one to capture. Even the major companies struggle with his unique features/likeness. Savage is insanely good!
Now bring on those bulldogs and announce the next wave!

We don’t feel the Andre is too pale but can totally understand where people are coming from…especially compared to the Macho Man. Bulldogs are being worked on now. The next wave will be up for pre-order on April 5th! 3 figs. We hope these are our best sellers yet. Here’s a hint. We really appreciate all of the fans of this line…the feedback and the social media posting! The more you guys spread the word, the more figures we can make! 1 should have been in the final series. 1 is a LJN redo. 1 fits the LJN time but never got one. |
