I feel a little dirty to admit it, but I grabbed the Bulldog/Diana set the night it dropped. Really don't want the Diana, but can't miss out on that Bulldog. Just wish there was a matching Bret from the event.
I also finally went back and listened to the MWFP reaction to the 2-pack idea (initially missed them talking about it since I was too busy fast forwarding through the D-freedom ramblings). I was surprised all 3 guys pretty much thought it was a good idea. And I was expecting them to rake him over the coals over it lol.
Oh well, despite some questionable choices, I still really like what Mitch is doing getting so many early and mid 90's guys out. Just hope paint aps can be more closely watched and hopefully get better going forward.

Just hope paint aps can be more closely watched and hopefully get better going forward. It's not that it's not a good idea, really. It's a good idea in theory. If you're a MoC collector then it's a great piece that tells a story of a great WWF UK event and a snapshot of 1992 wrestling history. It's a good idea on the part of Hasttel, as there's no way Diana would sell individually. My issue is that I'm generally a loose collector, besides the odd piece. I'd consider buying this to display with my Big Daddy, Giant Haystacks and white Dynamite which are all still on card, but I really wanted that Bulldog loose, preferably, and was looking forward to having it loose. So my issue is mainly with not wanting to pay £57 to open up the box and take Bulldog out leaving me with a useless Diana figure. 🤷 As it is, I'm gonna have to pass, as I've bought a few other stuff lately that have been pretty costly non-wrestling related pieces. If he puts it out loose down the line then I'll probably pick Bulldog up, otherwise, it is what it is. In that regard, it's kind of only a great piece for MoC collectors, and that's the main issue with the twin pack decision, imo. Diana only really makes sense in a carded display with Davey. Otherwise, it's a Fisherprice peasant woman 😂 |

It’s always going to be one of those marmite decisions isn’t it, either love it or hate it!
People that have purchased the 2-pack will be happy with it and those who haven’t can move on and collect the guys they do want.
Fair play to G+G Rock and Roll for taking the risk and getting 1,000 of these made and people who have a Summerslam 1992 display or Hart family display will be buzzing for this.

No idea how this works but i know the separate threads were made to keep this easy to follow so shouldn't the top page be updated somehow to include announcer ray rougeau and the fabulous rougeau brothers now they've been announced?

I'm just not necessarily interested in G&G after the Bulldog/Diana debacle and the questionable nature of the figures' quality when in hand as opposed to MoC. I'll probably be sticking to Epic for now. I'm still debating a couple of ZST purchases, potentially in the new year. |

The heads don’t look quite right to me, the rest is ok though.

these look AWFUL!!!!
Ouellet's head is just round, and the hair looks terrible!! he had either short hair, or a buzz cut but he NEVER had a full head like this! plus, he mainly had either blonde highlights or light brown hair overall. not black!
and Jacques?  could be passable if the hair, as with Pierre, wasn't so bad!
this just another Rushed job, clearly

there's also discussion over on the IG post about whether these will be cast in their base colours, or just painted like Savio etc
how hard is it for his factory to produce the torso in a bright red plastic, and the legs be made using black plastic?
and the arms, I get he's trying to cut as many costs as possible but these look like a proper copy and paste job. why are the arms not different for each guy? why are the legs basically the same legs reprinted?

Wow. These are not good or close to it. Hope it’s not final by any means. I’m not even sure which is Jacques. Mitch can do much, much better based off Mabel. These should be scratched and redone from the ground up. Hope the Rougeaus are much better.

I don't understand how these are getting worse and worse since Men on a Mission. Has he changed his designers/process/factory so much? He should really try and move back
