Thanks for the update! Will we be able to pre-order Vlad with the guardrail once it gets closer to production?

Hi! Its been a while (staind) since there was an update on things for WSW. We're going to do several reveals for Series 2 of Wrestle-Something Wrestlers at Squared Circle Expo in Indianapolis on March 30. If you are there, please stop by and say hello! Effy & The Headbangers will be among the guests, a perfect way to get your figures signed! The plastic injection for Colt Cabana is complete. The painting & packaging will take about 3-4 weeks to complete. Mike Chioda's figure molds are in the works. An early bird pre-order with discount will be available for 2 weeks, and after that it will go to standard pricing! Early bird pre-order will begin very soon. Mike Chioda will release with the standard Series 1 WSW carding, and also a limited chase edition carding, featuring a retro color scheme! Vladimir the Superfan's molds are in production. The prototype we initially teased was a placeholder, the updated version will be shown soon! We initially thought April for release date, but it will be closer to June/July. Those who've pre-ordered Vlad will get a bonus barricade guard rail piece! Vladimir will also include a chase edition limited carding with retro color scheme! Should be a fun year for all collectors, and especially fun for collectors of FC stuff. Really excited to show you what we have planned! Lots of exciting stuff coming. Can’t wait for you to reveal a number of the things you have been working on as well as what’s up your sleeve!

I'd love to see Chioda and Cabana's "final" figures, ideally at the point of ordering, so we can see what we'll receive
the retro style colour sounds interesting, but will it be an actual "chase" (as in randomly shipped to people) or do people need to order the two cards? the latter may be "fairer" for collectors, but the former would be an actual chase - people wouldn't know what they got until they received their packages

I really like the preorder early bird discount. It does make me feel better about having to wait. It's not much money but it's a great goodwill gesture

Hey guys! Finally back in the swing of reviewing figures (most are months old now lol). It was my goal to up my game a bit so I’ve included a new feature to give everyone a better look at the figures in close detail. WFigs isn’t able to embed the IG Reels so please click the link(s) to check out that new feature! 360 VIEW: Mosh http://instagram.com/p/C5FIMw8swnO 360 VIEW: Thrasher http://instagram.com/p/C5FElIMsyRU http://instagram.com/p/C5FHrk4sWc5 The Good: The Bad: ![](https://i.ibb.co/DkrKXpr/4-E4-C2-FCD-711-B-4-E2-D-988-C-436-F040-CE643.jpg) Not much to say here. I guess people could say they aren’t exaggerated enough which is fair. Also, they are maybe a shade darker than I would have gone. Not because it isn’t accurate but because sometimes my photos turned out more orange than what they are in real life which made me correct them in post. I do not care for the color scheme of the WSW figure card. Hopefully Jack from FC can be convinced to do the “Variant” style packaging more often as it looks sooo much better! The only other nitpick is a known one: nobody these days uses the good hard plastic like Hasbro did. ![](https://i.ibb.co/cxt8CfG/DFFEF159-0088-466-B-8-D6-E-9-DD9-A7-E8-A03-B.jpg) So How Do They Measure Up?: Overall they blend in quite nicely! ![](https://i.ibb.co/s9FTd24/IMG-0995.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/RpcYnhT/IMG-0998.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/GxDQnmT/IMG-1016.jpg) *Note that I am no longer including photos of figures from Rush* Final Verdict: ![](https://i.ibb.co/mNNYXvc/44-E1-F821-DE8-E-448-B-823-B-DB90024-BAE20.jpg) These should excite you for future FC releases and future Epic releases as they are using the same factory. I’m quite happy with this purchase and have already preordered figures from Series 1 and Series 2. I really hope people don’t sleep on WSW as they are good figures with a lot of really cool things in the works! ![](https://i.ibb.co/jZGPC4F/IMG-8094.jpg) BONUS CONTENT: For you perverts ![](https://i.ibb.co/ZhT9X0b/photo-output.jpg)

Colts face reminds me of the first sami zayn elite. Whats up with buff having 2 heads, it looks like the glasses arent removable?

Colt doesn't look too bad, tbh. These figures actually look better than I expected. I'll definitely be getting the Patriot. Didn't somebody else have him lined up?

Patriot looks great, I'll definitely be buying that (not sure if this is a prototype with plans to articulate the arm, or if it will be permanently posed that way, but it looks like a solid figure
will likely be buying a couple of Colts too, that looks like a good figure
I'm somewhat disappointed with the Buff, I didn't like the arms from the concept art, but seeing that figure doesn't make me feel like it's worth investing in

Thanks for the pics! They look good, not sure which Colt I’ll wanna get. Buff has the same legs as Effy, which is totally fine to me and a smart move. Still looks like a prototype, hopefully it’ll polish up a bit
Patriot will be a great addition

Just noticed the sunglasses on Buff and looks like the top hat is an accessory too

Excited for Patriot and Buff! Like others said though they could both use some adjustments. I like Buff w/the glasses so that's cool, don't think I need the other head. And I hope they articulate the arm on Patriot, doesn't need to swivele up like the Mattels, just so the elbow bends like the Hasbros did.
And could we get that Ultiomo Dragon, Macho and Glacier as Retros PLEASE?

Sunglasses did look removeable. It was hard to get a good picture of Buff.
There's also two Jeff Jarrett on display that I totally missed until I looped back through.

Why is effy so tiny compared to all the others? think it's just the perspective and angle I was shooting at. he's the same size. Chioda also looks really small in the pictures I took tonight but is perfectly to scale.
