Irrationally upset at the gold version of MOM Mabel having black eyebrows. Not sure if it’s more accurate for that gear or not, but the blonde eyebrows are more toyetic and feel more “new gen”.

Nah, not for me neither, but at least it's a good sign maybe that it's another in hand/ready to ship drop. I really hope he sticks to this method going forward.

Does anyone have a sense of how many of the Bob Cardona figures out of the 500 are being sold by Hassteltoy? I just don’t love the idea of buying one to help it “sell out” if the Major Pod is sitting on hundreds that haven’t entered circulation yet. Really good likeness, but I’m torn.

Do not know about Mitches factory but most minimums are 500 units for news molds

Would you buy green shirt guy if the figure had a really good likeness? Is that all it takes now to sell a figure to wrestling figure collectors? People just love throwing money away.

Never cared for the guy. I had heard mixed things about him in the past but reserved judgement. Based upon my limited interactions with him and observations of the way he acted around others…can’t say I’m a fan of his. Not hating just to hate; it’s just a bizarre reality and identity to create for yourself. Doesn’t mean he is a bad person. Hi Sorry for asking, but i just dont know.

I always forget how to properly tag people here so let me try: VintageFigs1 - Did your dad ever appear on any other shows besides that famous moment (not including MWFP productions)?

Bob was a judge on a WBF show I believe. Does that count? Haha.

Not to be flip, but why would you want to buy one to "help it sell out"? The attitude surrounding these upstart Retro toy companies is that they're all small businesses and if we don't support them then they won't be able to continue growing. Some of the stuff put out by Hassteltoy and Epic and FC Toys is incredible. I love how there are all these new avenues to get guys that Mattel wouldn't bother with. However with stuff like this Bob Cardona (and the Big Rubber Guys) I'm starting to feel like i'm being taken advantage of. I'm buying some of this stuff in part to support these companies, but then and they turn around and go "WOW LOOK AT HOW HIGH THE PRICES ON EBAY ARE FOR THESE, BETTER BUY A BUNCH OF OUR NEXT BATCH". You know people are stockpiling this latest set anticipating that'll be able to capitalize on how hot they'll be on the secondary market. I feel the same way with this Bob Cardona. I see it touted as being limited to 500 worldwide, but I would like to know if Mitch is selling all 500 or if the Cardonas bought a large share of them wholesale. (If they purchased them at the same price as any other customer fair enough). I don't love buying a figure I'm lukewarm about if I'm contributing to the perception that it's more sought after than it actually is. I'm just looking for some transparency.

I think this is a sign that wrestling figure community is not as big as people think - certainly from a collector point It’s not only smaller companies we see this with - how many comments were there that “we have to support the new gen or won’t get more crowdfunds” or “I supported new gen and I’ll support nitro stage even though don’t want them because there will be one eventually I want” etc etc You don’t see the same about Star Wars or marvel crowdfunds etc. people there buy it if they want it, if not they don’t and to doesn’t get funded. To support sonething because something may be made down the line or a company might find etc is a strange view imo.
