Is there any new news on Magnum’s figure or is it still held up in customs? I think Vintage figs said it got through customs. |

It’s an amusing thought that VintageFigs1 can see our entire conversation about this & probably has the answer the whole entire time but won’t just tell us & put us out of our misery 😂 … but on the other hand, in a strange way I sorta enjoy the suspense of it all until we finally see them Or maybe they are undecided on the look, and this dialogue is valuable to their decision making? One can hope, at least. On another note, I received (standard) Duggan today! Excellent figure, much better than his LJN (which says A LOT, coming from me)! I really like his thickness and expression. My one very minor criticism is that the 2x4 is quite yellow, unlike the LJN, which was a more natural wood-brown. Still, a beautiful figure! Instantly one of my favorites along with Macho, Demolition and Dynamite Kid! Well done! In looking at the pics of both final versions of Duggan, other than the yellow 2X4, I also like the face-painted version's hair and beard color better. Standard Duggan's beard just looks too dark to me, almost giving off a Big John Studd vibe. Not sure if they purposely ended up going darker for some reason, but the lighter brown shown in the digital render pics matches his likeness better IMO. I'm curious to see what Warlord's beard color will end up being. I'm hoping they go more on the lighter side. |

Render looked better than finished product. That being said, i still like it and am happy to have it in my collection |

Even his 2x4 was sometimes a more yellow wood. I don't remember him that way much but it could be because of when I stopped watching WWF. Either way, I agree that it's a nice figure. If I pick one up I think I'd go with the face paint version, and maybe try to get an extra Demolition mask somehow. Would first check to make sure it fits though. |

I don’t expect these to be too exact, like statues or even elites/ultimates. The Duggan is MUCH better likeness than his LJN. And since I only get one of each character, I’m very happy to have the standard instead of the face-painted version. Exact, no. But still a great figure imo.

Definitely a better likeness than the ljn. I'm just saying i feel the render is better than the actual figure. Not a bad figure by any means. Nice addition to my growing collection of this line |

Any word on what part of the month that PoP and Dusty will ship? My only real way to keep up with news is via the Boards. Not chomping at the bit, just curious.

Magnum had a customs delay issue, but that was supposedly resolved. So those should be around the corner, I’d think/hope. |

I finally snagged a con exclusive macho man in green for the lowest price i could find. Such a great figure. Im up to date and complete again. Hopefully they dont do anymore limited, hard to access figs in the future.
Id post pics but this place is such a hassle. They are on my instagram and facebook groups though

Major Bendies site just updated their ETAs, with Powers of Pain and Dusty now saying late October. Bummer. Still, I’m more hyped to get my PoP than any other figures right now!

I totally understand your guys excitement for the POP & I have a Dusty figure ordered myself but can we focus on getting Magnum shipped first? … be nice to have another update on that one soon |

Finally got my Blue Bulldogs yesterday. No custom charges either which was a nice surprise. They look great. I think i may like the blue better than the white ones.
I now feel more confident to order again from them and order the Macho King preorder.
So i plan to order him soon too.
Im waiting patiently on Magnum and Hacksaw (they were not a day one order for me) but iim much more excited for POP and Road Warriors to be in stock!
It’s crazy how many great BRG figures have come out in such a short time. Keep making them and i’ll keep buying!
