Deplorable? lol. Who does it faster than us? Simply expressing the opinion I’m entitled to my friend, honestly none of these companies put much pep in their step including Mattel, if product was in hand half as fast as our money is taken we’d be alright … that’s one of the reasons I’m on the fence about buying the Road Warriors now, pay for them now & get them in the summer of 2025?? … Buy the R&R Express in November & get them when? … early 26?? … I could be dead by then & then I’d be pissed because I wasted my money If you ordered Road Warriors now, it would not take over one year to get them. You’re either being overly dramatic OR have not been paying attention to how WE do business. We are unlike the other small companies… some take FOREVER to deliver a product. NOBODY else delivers products are fast and consistent as we do. That’s not just me being proud or confident of our business, it’s the truth. |

Truly not trying to hurry ya’ll, but how is the Bulldogs order going? I recently heard a Kanik interview (Fully Poseable podcast, I think?). Good interview! He stated there were 2 delays due to molds coming back with errors- height wrong and heads too squished (I think that was the term he used). Are they still on the way and expected in hand this month, or no? Either way, I’d rather have them corrected and delayed than hurried and with glaring mistakes! Also, congrats on now having a warehouse and shipping team! A big step for sure! |

The Bulldogs shipped from the factory a few weeks ago and I believe they’re expected to arrive to the new warehouse by the end of this month. Hoping they’ll be taught how to ship because so many don’t seem to have any idea how to properly ship collectibles. If you ordered Road Warriors now, it would not take over one year to get them.

Pay for then when they arrive instead of half a year or more before I bought the Bulldogs from MWFP in Dec. Feel kind of stupid to front $100, when I could have just gotten them on preorder and pay in July or August when they actually arrive. Lesson learned. I’ve ordered all I want since then from bigg badd In fact I tried to cancel my original Bulldogs order, but they wouldn’t cancel. That sucks, but it is what it is |

That sucks, but it is what it is It isn’t when they’re paid for that I have an issue with, I’d actually rather pay for them when they’re ordered now instead of when they ship, that way I don’t have to worry about having to come up with the money later on … my issue is the tentative release schedule, the delays & how they can’t seem to get it together any quicker … I ordered Magnum TA back in February fully expecting to have it in my hands sometime this month because that’s what the listing said but now because the Bulldogs have been delayed, by a chain reaction so has Magnum for God only knows how long & I’m sure the Dusty Rhodes I ordered along with every other series from here on out will also be delayed now, it seems they’re incapable of working on more than one series at a time … it’s a bit ridiculous in my opinion & some can’t seem to handle criticism very well here, some get pretty red 😆 … unfortunately it does say on their website before you place an order that all sales are final & can’t be canceled … but thank you man for the heads up about Big Badd, I’ve never heard of them but I will definitely check them out!! |

I’ve ordered all I want since then from bigg badd In fact I tried to cancel my original Bulldogs order, but they wouldn’t cancel. That sucks, but it is what it is Bulldogs had scaling issues and are late yeah but, looks like when things are running smoothly it's about 5 months from preorder to getting the figs in hand, going by Andre & Savage. Big bad is a good option if you dont want to spend & wait or dont have the money at the time. Just keep in mind they have the added cost of sales tax and shipping. Also, you will definitely be able to get your money back on the Bulldogs on the aftermarket, if you had change your mind and dont want them anymore,fyi. |

Probably worth pointing out that they're pretty transparent with timelines and when/why delays impact those timelines. At this point you should know what you're signing up for when you pre-order. Personally I'm not in a hurry, and these guys have an excellent track record of delivering the figures with good quality. But if the timelines aren't your jam I guess big bad is a decent alternative.

Just watched the latest Major Pod on YouTube. The pics of the finished and approved samples of Powers of Pain look incredible! I am SO looking forward to getting these in hand! There’s an Indy event (Central Empire Wrestling) and Legends Con coming up September 7th in Iowa, with Powers of Pain, Demolition, Jake “The Snake” and more announced! The 80’s are alive!

I enjoyed the insight into the PoP trunks over the tights discussion. That attention to detail is pretty awesome. As a wrestling fan, I appreciate the discussion of why certain gear choices are made. Those are some of my favorite aspects of the podcast. It was just a quick back and forth but it was something that I would gladly listen to a full episode on.

My personal Pros/Cons for PoP:
The attention to detail on the gear is great, and the figures look really good overall.
I do think they captured the likeness for Warlord, except for the beard color. I always remember him having more like a dirty-blonde color.
I was hoping they could capture Barbarian's distinct Tongan look in the face a little more, but I know it's probably easier said than done with the digital sculpting software.
My biggest Pro is that I love how Warlord is huge like he should be! Sheer power. The original LJN is a great figure but was too small. Also, face paint looks great on these guys.
I have these on pre-order and look forward to getting them in hand.

Hey, couple quick questions. I haven’t been following closely. The WM 2 British Bulldogs, do they come with Matilda?
I’ve never ordered from these other shops before, big bad or collectors hop, I’m assuming you guys have had good experiences with them in the past?

The ones in white gear come with Matilda.
The exclusive release in blue from Wrestling Collectors $hop does not.
