There's a lot of cool possibilities given all the relationships and deals they have from their Bendies line.

I guess the major pod guys will finally be getting my money. These look phenomenal.
And, IIRC, Matt is friends with Warlord, so hoping they can do a proper Powers of Pain, as well.

Here is a list of guys with Major Bendies:
Brian Pillman
Bryan Clark
Danhausen
Nick Gage
Matt Cardona
Bryan Myers
Effy
Tyrus
Jeff Jarrett
Conrad Thompson
Gangrel
Johnny Gargano
Joey Janela
Karl Anderson
Luke Gallows
Chelsea Green
Swoggle
Smart Mark Sterling
Colt Cabana
Brian Pillman
Jim Duggan
Ricky Morton
Ric Flair
British Bulldog
Steph Delander
Might have missed one or two in there. I have no idea how things work legally with producing figures if guys who signed elsewhere after the fact. Examples: Gargano and Danhausen. ZST seemed to have an issue with sabu. No clue if that would be an issue for this line.
Also worth noting all the guys possibly available from their friends Josh and Mitch:
Sabu
Bruiser Brody
Dino Bravo
Kevin Sullivan
Rock n Roll Express
NZo
Early Hebner
Brooklyn Brawler
King Kong Bundy
Slick
Raven
Jack Tunney
Bill Alfanso
Mr Hughs
Roadkill
Ultimo Dragon
Road Warriors
Big Bully Busick
Tajiri
Mike Awesome
Power and Glory
Bastion Booger
Marc Mero
Ahmed Johnson
Todd Pettengill
Savio Vega
Carlito
Dianna Smith
Henry Godwinn
Phineas Godwinn
Men on a Mission
Godfather
Tatanka
There are a few gems in there!

Say what you will, they are actually producing the figures in their lines in good timing. These look really good actually. I have no use for a LJN tribute line but I’m sure this could end up being really cool for those that do.

I hope they stick to ljn era guys and then maybe into hasbro era
The only real criticism for the bendies line which I think are cool is the amount of modern indie guys - when there’s so many more possibilities why go to modern no name guys who are friends or worked with cardona (which seems to be a way to guarantee a figure in their line) v others who are needed to fill out the original era roster

I'm not saying the real figures won't be as good as this, but they really do seem too good. I wonder what the scale is compared to an actual LJN

I wonder what the scale is compared to an actual LJN Adding to Chicago’s post, someone on their show claimed they let a friend get hands-on with a sample and it was the closest thing in terms of feel and smell of the original LJN. I believe that includes Jazwares, Jakks, those Bucks, and OSFTM. |

These are absolute must buys for me. I’m an 80’s guy and still display my full collection of LJNs. Between this line and the Coliseum Collection, I am more excited about upcoming figs than I’ve been since I was a kid!

Has anyone seen when and where these are going up for order? I’ve never ordered from them before, so I don’t know if they sell direct or through Ringside. Thanks!

Seems pretty well-balanced to me, which makes sense considering the pool of those who are unsigned and fit directly into the original Bendie timeline isn't that large. I think the amount of repaints maybe skews perception a bit, but based on actual names produced there's an even amount of "Legends" and modern people produced, and there's actually more legends but a relative wide margin if the first proof of concept series with Cardona/Myers/Swoggle/Sterling is removed. |

I get why they had figures of themselves made, because of course, but it’s always so weird to me when any of these companies do tribute lines and include modern people. Especially them. I kind of understand Cardona as he’s fairly big right now for someone not in a major company, but Myers isn’t much of a name outside fans of their podcast/Impact. Maybe that’s enough? Idk.

While I'm sure part of it is just to get figures made of themselves, they've said before that part of them being the initial offering in a givens style is also to have proof of concept/iron out the kinks of having a style made/etc. before investing in signing other people. |

I believe that includes Jazwares, Jakks, those Bucks, and OSFTM. Yeah I feel these will be closest to the LJN's. I want them but my wallet is telling me no. Similar to my full set of Hasbro, once I let one 'custom' in, where does it stop. What we really need is for Mattel to recreate them! The Colliseum line would have been perfect in ljn form. |
