Bad News Brown/Allen has been grossly underrepresented in figure form. Very cool to see that in the plans. And if 2025 rubber Missy can look as good as 1990 real life Missy, count me in.

Damn. After the Jeff Hardy I was planning on that being it for my BRG. That Brawler and Macho King are must haves for me though.

It's getting harder and harder to not give in and get a few BRGs...

I've never bought a BRG before, but I'll get that Macho King and maybe Missy depending on how she looks.

I’m very happy with these reveals! Just one order for August for me, Brooklyn Brawler- and I really like his unique pose. But next year- WOW! I’m in for Haku, Tonga Kid (Tama!), Earl Hebner, Bad News Brown, KoKo B Ware, and Arn Anderson (assuming he can pass for Brainbusters’ Arn).
I will say that with so many advance announcements, the lack of Hercules or Dino Bravo is a small let-down, but there is still plenty to be excited about here!

So happy to see this line line expand. But now I’m looking at my original Slaughter and thinking of cutting him. I get the appeal of the cancelled LJN, but it’s the most boring of the bunch because it’s monotone gear.

I wonder if Zombie has exclusives with Dino and Herc's estates. Yeah, I fear the same. I remember watching one of Zombie’s interviews with Sam Roberts and I don’t recall if it was Bundy or OMG, but he was bragging about signing him to an exclusive figure deal. Ugh. |

One more thing. Early in this line I’d commented on the lack of ethnic diversity. With this list of upcoming names, I absolutely take that back! Well done!

Been championing Bad News for awhile! Totally psyched to see him in the works, along with Haku. The best line just keeps getting better!

I get the appeal of the cancelled LJN, but it’s the most boring of the bunch because it’s monotone gear. Same. I'm a big Slaughter fan too. Probably not going to happen because I'm sure a simple repaint vs a resculpt or modification of the sculpt makes them more money no matter what, but I'd love to see a different sculpt altogether for Sarge, or at the very least, maybe any of the below? - Can they scale him up a bit in size? Current fig is a little small, and Sarge was kind of a big dude. - Could they maybe make his arms look a little more normal with proportions? Not all of their figures have to have huge bulging arms. It should match more what the actual person had. - And I would love if they went with a proper salute instead of the palm facing out, which I think is what the original figure if produced in 1984 would have had, and what it was intended to have all along. |

Lord knows I don’t need to collect another line of figures, but these reveals are making me very itchy. At the very least that Macho King will be mine.

Love that Macho King, please don't make that an exclusive. Of all the BRG's out, that's the one I want the most.

I am wondering if that Macho King will be released later with an alternate outfit. I am almost positive it will.

Theyre def gettin better. Some neat stuff there. Macho king exclusive to that shop means itll def be repainted, probably cooler, for the main line. I wouldve put red flair as evergreen over blue. But brawler looks good and i dig sarge moreso this way
