I’m gonna go with The Road Warriors and Nic Nemeth as the other 3 coming to Series 8 with Ethan Page in June. We will reveal 1 of 4 June BRGs tomorrow on a LIVE Major WF Pod. Watch on YouTube and twitch for FREE! Any guesses? Hopes? It’s non old school. |

And Nic Nemeth seems like a solid current star guess too, and certainly one that would receive lots of attention. Nemeth or Danhausen, I would think. |

Road Warriors is plausible but, maybe they would be too soon after Power of Pain...? |

Not sure what other old school talent Cardona could see exciting the old school collectors so much though. |

I promise…if you’re old school fan, you will have an orgasm when you see 2 of the people in next set. Maybe when you see all 3. lol. Any chance you could throw us just this hint? Are the old school a tag team or singles? |

Whether they are for me or not, I continue to be psyched for this line and look forward to seeing what’s to come. Any progress updates on The Bulldogs (I agree with and appreciate you delaying them to correct their size)? |

Is Nikolai Volkoff an option, or is he still under a WWE fig deal? Getting redone with a bigger mold and scowl could be cool, maybe in a pose similar to the one Bruno had?

Any further talk about manufacturing new stand-up clamshells for the first few waves that don't have them?

My Macho Man package came with a stand on the bottom (Andre didn’t) and have seen a few like this on marketplaces. Really wish they’d sell shells so I can replace the first dozen or so that I can’t display as nicely without something rigged up under the front of the bubble on the bottom so they don’t fall over.

I just saw an article on wrestlingfigurenews.com that The Bulldogs are beginning to ship from the factory! Woo hoo! The pic next to Macho makes them look incredible! I hadn’t been too picky about size, but with them being smaller guys, Dynamite especially, seeing them more to-scale really adds a lot and is worth the wait. Thank you!

Let me get ahead of this as I’ve seen a lot of comments other places… We want the line to grow and thrive. To make the deep LJN era cuts, we need to be financially secure. This IS a business. Making current talent that will sell thousands will allow us to make the certain LJN era guys/girls that will only sell hundreds. We appreciate your support of the line. Collect and buy who you want. Nobody needs to buy them all. (But I’d certainly appreciate it if you did! Haha!) Could you explain the difference or process (not sure the appropriate wording) as to how other indie companies can do obscure characters (especially ones that would fit into big rubber guys) and be successful and continue to make figs, but you are not willing to make or take that risk yet? Maybe they aren’t successful? Manufacturing Costs issues because of the different scale/materials? Would love to see some of the names from other brands and scales implemented into BRG’s. Ill play the long game regardless of the answers and keep supporting the line! Ive waited so long for this line. I love the mixture of current and old school. But when another company reveals a character that would be so fitting in the line it’s frustrating |

I think it's great that there are small companies coming out, doing their versions of retro figures. But at the same time, I cannot justify paying the same price on these new figures, as I would on original carded figs I have seen elsewhere. Grapplers and gimmicks are great, I own a few...but damn mitch! The asking prices on his new figures is crazy and not affordable on my budget, to buy them all when they come out. Same on the Big Rubber Guys line-up. Very cool, but $400 for Demolition on Ebay!? Come on! But to each his own.

We had months to pay fair retail price for them. If late to the game, thats the unfortunate reality of collecting an obscure/cult classic line. If i wasnt able to buy them on preorder for some reason i would figure out a way to get them second hand (maybe on an up charge if no other choice) |

It’s 2024 and these aren’t nearly mass products as Mattel or Jazwares figures. I wish they were…prices would be much lower. |

But when another company reveals a character that would be so fitting in the line it’s frustrating I can’t speak for other companies. I don’t know their costs, their minimums, what they’re paying the talents, etc. I don’t know if they are making a profit… I don’t know if they have a bunch of left over stock… I really can’t even begin to speculate. I just know our numbers. Once we grow the line more (and we believe adding CERTAIN modern talent will do that), we will be more comfortable taking a risk or possibly even a loss on someone who may not sell well as a way to thank the fans and/or the talent. I hope that makes sense. Great question. |

Road Warriors is plausible but, maybe they would be too soon after Power of Pain...? Maybe. Not sure what other old school talent Cardona could see exciting the old school collectors so much though. Simple, the Rock & Roll Express … we’ve already been told on here that they’re coming this year 🤷 |

Simple, the Rock & Roll Express … we’ve already been told on here that they’re coming this year 🤷 I had thought they would be the “old school” talent in this wave until the “orgasm” comment. But with that, doesn’t that imply it has to be a surprise? Like you said, Rock n Roll Express were already announced as coming this year. Kyle Peterson, on today’s Weekly Toy News video, pitched Dino Bravo and King Haku for this line. Now *that* would excite me! |
