I'd like to know if AFC has plans for a UK-based distributor, as it sounds like he's having teething issues with the postage from Poland for orders taken prior to the move
obviously it will settle over time, but at least for the next few months he could use some help in a UK-based distributor (IMO)

The guardrails have me wondering if FC would be able to make a steel cage to fit the original Hasbro and Mattel Retro rings? I’m thinking plastic wise, it may be close to a pack of 25 guardrails. If they can keep the price down, I think it’d be a big seller.

Pretty much every company (including FC) has ruled that out due as they don’t believe it would be profitable enough to make a larger accessory or playset. |

They have both the old school WWF blue cage and a more modern mesh style. |

They have both the old school WWF blue cage and a more modern mesh style. the problem with Wrecollect's stuff (and it does look good) is that it's just 3D printed, rather than injection moulding, and a lot of 3D printed goods break over time
I would happily pay a company like FC to make a steel cage through a factory process, but that goes back to the preorder system - they won't take the risk on making it unless they have the money up front, so not really viable IMO

Having bought several items from WRECOLLECT and having lackluster experiences in terms of communication, I would not endorse anyone buy their cages. I do not own one but the quality of their other items left a lot to be desired. The Mattel Classic cage playset works ok with Hasbro rings (needs some help to avoid shifting. I’m sure it would work okay with Mattel Retro rings as well but I don’t recall if I tried. Years ago I bought some of those Nerf ping pong sets and spray painted them blue. Those look good on Hasbro rings and fit well! I think I have a 3 piece one left if anyone wants to buy one for an open-sided display. Here are some pics someone posted here years ago:    |

My guess is Battle Kat for the mystery figure. Wish it was! Keep an eye on social media today though. |

It does look good, I’m going to need to dig it out and paint it. |

Absolute surprise. I didn’t buy any of the other Machos from other companies. But, this being an in stock drop, I immediately bought them. Well done. Also picked up Chioda. |

Both look great but I love the long tights Macho King. I got both and a set of the grey guardrails.

Chairshot just whip up a side by side of this macho king and the monkey arm zombie its hilarious A quick and dirty comparison.   It was hard to watch ZST and Mitch (and MWFP and Latoonie) make all of their announcements while keeping this one a secret. I think that Zombie has done a tremendous job with the detail of his outfits. Mitch is banging out some fun classic looks. But my opinion - which is biased - the WSW is the most Hasbro-like retro Macho man figure. Lots of love went into this and I think that shows. |

Those Savages are exactly what I wanted in retro form. I was late to the party on the in stock drop, but September 30th is not too far away.
