[RETRO] Wrestle-Something Wrestlers by Figure Collections

I wouldn’t put too much into anything Dfreedom says

But the stache and beard should connect.

Still nice figures

(I haven’t heard the show so I won’t comment on that but it’s not like the Major products don’t have issues too, so…)

I don't think anyone is trying bury anyone, but it's legitimately true that Matt's approval of the ZST Savages versus his criticisms of the WSW versions is nothing short of comical. Whether his criticisms are honest, or hold water, is neither here nor there, imo, unless he is equally open and honest about any issues he has with those ZST Savages... Because if he doesn't have any, he's potentially partially sighted and/or just being a ZST shill.

Did he really bury these haha. Cant wait to hear how magical they all think zombies are

Fig Collections Macho I. Classic pink tights is really good. The only retro I was sort let down by was the gangrel but even then, early in the game, it was decent. Also the WSW retros don't release a toxic smell like G&G retros.

kojikanemoto - Savage would sometimes wear tape on both hands and around his fingers as well. The left hand of the WSW figure has that but the right hand doesn’t. I think the FC team is collectively taking ownership of that (I know I feel bad for missing it). I took Matt’s question to heart and went back through all of the conversations I had with Jack. I too wanted to know how it was missed.

As mentioned before, I had caught the missing tape on the finger and made mention of it in the notes I shared with the FC team. This would have been around March and I was going off of the 2D drawing and the very first 3D drawing which had no molded tape of any kind at that stage. It wasn’t known to me if there were plans to mold it or paint it or what. What I recall about that time was that there were a lot of hurdles early on, I communicated what changes I thought needed to be made, and then the focus unexpectedly shifted to a more pressing matter (an unexpected request from the licensor).

I didn’t see a painted version of Macho until I believe July? So even though there were 3D sculpts looked at and discussed in between March and July, there was just so much that happened in that time that the tape on his finger and the backside of the the 3D model weren’t at the front of my mind. I don’t think I saw the back side of the painted version until ~7 weeks ago. It just didn’t stick out to me when I viewed that update.

I cannot put over Jack enough with how hard he works. What I’m doing is for fun and to fulfill a dream. Jack is the one out there making the deals and putting everything together. He’s working on the BCW line which had releases during this, working on finishing up WSW Series 1, working on WSW series 2 and even series 3, he has the Comedy Bang Bang line that launched, and he is running the physical FC store. He also sometimes kayfabes other things he has been working on until he is ready to announce it either to his team or publicly. That kind of drive is impressive.

So although I talk a lot on here about the little involvement I have, it is never intended to seem as though I am speaking on their behalf. The things I have been privileged enough to help with are not even 1/10,000 of what the FC Team is doing. Personally, I hate making mistakes but it also motivates me to work harder to avoid these things as much as possible and to strive towards making other collectors happy. I think this Macho Man achieved that quite well. With most of Series 2 being finished from the design aspect, Crush is the next “big” project that I’ve been fortunate enough to help with. Rather than stewing in the negativity, I’m driven even more to learn from prior mistakes and do better starting with him!

That's what most of us seem to be saying, and definitely what I was saying. Criticism of the WSW versions of Savage is fine, but be honest about the ZST versions as well, if fair judgement of these lines is actually what you aim to put out, real honesty, otherwise it's nothing short of arse-kissing from Matt and co, and when I say "arse-kissing, I mean that their lips are so close to Josh's arse that they can probably taste his lunch.

This is why I'm not interested in the world of the Major Pod... They come across as insincere Fanboys and social media darlings in the wrestling figure world, a world where their opinions are driven more by monetary gain than actual, honest interest in giving a fair opinion.

Let's be honest, ZST's Savages are a mess, lol.

OH YEAH ☝🏻

Arms on the Hasbro Macho are quite long, aren’t they 👀😅
