Cardona, Kanik and team, If we could fantasy-book future waves, I’d like a re-do of some of the final LJNs (did LJN even produce these?). Rude’s pose was awful. The color of the rubber scuffed awful for Bigelow, OMG, Honky, and DiBiase. And both Honky and DiBiase being in entrance gear instead of ring gear, while arguably more toyetic, made them less ideal to play with. So, *if* any of them were ever available again, are they on your radar to make? Would you first be looking at entrance gear for Honky and DiBiase, or ring gear? Thanks for your time! Great idea but all of these besides OMG have WWE legends deals. Is OMG someone you have pursued? Is akeem able to be done as long as you dont call him by that name? Would gladly take an updated gang if possible and akeem would be a great addition to complete the twin towers |

Yeah, I’m aware, that’s why I specified “fantasy-book… *if* ever available.” I’m hoping that either a) some or all of their WWE legends deals end and they become options for you, and/or b) that your line takes off so well that other companies get in on this form factor done right, including Mattel, to give us the options you can’t (like these guys). One Man Gang though?… |

After seeing the RNR Express PowerTown Remcos, I wonder if Robert Gibson is potentially only getting a BRG but not a Bendie for some kind of scale-related contractural reason. Maybe Ricky has a different kind of contract, or his Bendies was before they signed exclusive to PT.

Our Ricky bendies are current GCW style Ricky. |

Why don’t you want Robert to have a Bendie? … having a legendary tag team like the RnR together in every figure form makes sense … that’s like making Animal without Hawk or Bubba Ray without D’von … it just feels weird & incomplete not to have both |

If we made an 80s Ricky bendie but not Robert, it’d make no sense. But our Ricky is based off his recent Indy run and NWA stuff. Has his teamed with Robert in this time? Yes…very few times. But the majority of it is singles stuff or with Kerry. Rock N Roll BRG coming in 2024! |

Is Midnight Express (Bobby & Stan) a possibility?

That makes some sense I guess, I wasn’t thinking of it that way … it’s awesome to hear that they have BRG figures coming soon … please make them colorful ( the red & black or blue & black tights they wore in the mid to late eighties JCP are personal favorites of mine, either of these attires would be amazing for the figures ) … keep up the great work guys!! |

I’d assume everyone who listens to our podcasts because it’s been mentioned to death and I assume people who are fans of Ricky because it’s in an outfit he never wore in his prime. Maybe there are some fans who assumed we just made an 80s Ricky in fantasy gear. I don’t know. lol. |

And the photo of package is modern day Ricky…although Ricky has aged beautifully and still look forever young! |

I dunno man, I’ve actually seen Ricky a couple of times in GCW but for the figure I just assumed it was a merch shirt or even a fake one like how Jakks would do. But I’m not a regular listener to the podcast so maybe that’s why I didn’t get it. And I’m not saying I’m over here dying for a Robert Gibson Bendie btw hahah. I was actually at first like “oh cool Cardona prob talked to Ricky at a GCW show” and thinking maybe Robert will be in the next wave. But How about Kerry Morton? J/k |

J/k See I was thinking along those same lines also that Robert would be along somewhere in the next few waves because even though they don’t wrestle together as the RnR Express as much these days, Robert is still wrestling & they’re in what is probably the last bit of their farewell tour this year so a current day bendie version of Robert would absolutely fit in & be appropriate … but unfortunately we don’t make the rules |

I guess im in the minority/niche market category because i too thought it was odd to only do ricky and not Robert In bendie form, i would never be able to tell the difference which era he represented. I don’t listen to the podcast or pay attention to shirt decals though.
Super excited to get big rubber guys of both though! Instant orders once again

Let’s do a little Q&A in here. Obviously I can’t/won’t answer questions about who’s signed.

Would 2nd runs of Cardona/Myers be available or Indy God Cardona?
Does WWE have any copyright issues if you do guys that worked there in wwe gear.
Dino Bravo, Leaping Lanny or Ron Bass be considered since they were there during the LJN era, but didn't get figures.
Some guys have WWE Legends deals but get figures from others ie Davey Boy Smith how does that work.
