I guess my question now is, when are the others going up for Pre-Order? And which ones are next? There's a TON on social media in sculpts, renders, and such but what's coming up next that's not on his site?

As someone who's been highly critical, albeit well deserved, I agree with this comment. Mitch is turning a corner and I like the new molds. Epic is still the front runner for retro alternatives but Mitch has a chance to get there. Mitch isnt nearly as carny as he started out. Zombie took that ball and ran away with it. Mitch doing in stock drops and not pressing the dreaded fomo nonsense is great. One thing i understand isnt an issue for americans is him dropping different figs with a short time in between. For canadians though we have to pay high shipping for basically everything nowadays, so it'd be nice to be able to bundle everything at once |

Good question, think it's been a little bit since a new preorder, think that was the gold Macho. Feels like it's been a while since he showed Koko and New Rockers, maybe those are some of the next ones? If he's doing variants on alot of these, I hope he does New Rockers in pink, think I'd prefer that over the black/green. |

He did say he was trying to only do so many pre-orders at a time, so I’m thinking he’s waiting until this next batch comes in.
From what I remember Bulldog 97 and the Rougeau Bros should be in next and I suspect Koko and Dan Spivey will be with them

I will say I was annoyed at the quality of some of the figures from G&G, especially with the range of quality after the peak of the MoM set. The Canadians and Marc Mero were great though. Seems like Mitch really heard the criticism, and has taken steps to correct peoples concerns. I am more inclined to pre-order earlier when I see that the company cares about the product and the customer's perception of it.

Caring about the customers, even. Which i guess at the end of the day goes hand in hand with his slogan. Zombie couldn't be more opposite, it's unfortunate

From what I remember Bulldog 97 and the Rougeau Bros should be in next and I suspect Koko and Dan Spivey will be with them I would think Bulldog and Diana should be next right? It was a while ago I think, and they are pictured on the back of the most recent cards. I totally forgot about Spivey, pretty sure I ordered that one too. So hard to keep track at this point with all these preorders and variants. He just showed 3 Bulldogs off in pieces. One is the 94', shorts version, and then 2 97' variants. Have both 97' versions been up for order already? Or just one? Pretty sure I ordered at least one version of 97 plus the 94, but not sure. |

Only two Bulldogs have been up so far, the '97 Hart Foundation version and the Legend of Zelda Wembley two-pack.

I'm glad to see that the quality has improved significantly, but I'm very intrigued by the choice of design for the torso, it's interesting that the chest section is left empty (reminds me of Rush's Jonah figure design) which makes me wonder what other characters will G+G use it for down the line??
there's scope there for different moulded chest inserts, so whilst Bulldog will clearly be a muscular chest, it's also an option to have someone wearing a necklace or chain (moulded onto the insert) to create a number of characters wearing a jacket/vest, so rather than making multiple moulds for waistcoat torso, this looks like he's planning ahead and just making the frame of a jacket/vest, and then character-specific detailed inserts can be swapped out as needed.
I actually like it, well done Mitch!

The torso and leg connection needs adjustment, but they’re looking good. Not sure how many different Davey Boy’s I need though…

Said it before and I’ll say it again, THIS is what a true Hasbro tribute line. Closest thing out there to the actual Hasbros.
Icing on the cake that Mitch is a stand up dude and not a douche.

These two Bulldogs seem as close to a Hasbro continuation that I have seen so far. I already ordered the '92 Bulldog so have no need for them, but looking good. At one point I may have argued that the Epic Toys are more Hasbro-ish but I would have been wrong. |

Looks good. But did Davey Boy wear the tassels on the boots with the long tights? |

MKSavage he definitely did at times. I *think* his longest stretch without tassels was immediately after his heel turn but I don’t have a way to easily comb through his ever-changing looks.

While in different patterned pants he had the long tights with tassels and short hair when he wrestled Bret at In Your House. I am sure that was not the only time. The white tassel on white boot does seem like it is trying to be hidden. Good looking figure either way. |
