Gang is a great figure. I'd be interested in Roma and Herc, but the proportions on those figures look way off. Short legs, overlong arms - again. Slick does look pretty cool, but I'm not willing to pay so much money for a manager.

Slick not having the 2 hats is a shame, wonder if the trilby is permanently glued to his head now that the option of changing the hats over is gone???

See below for the only mention of a Series 4:
12/14/2023 ZST Instagram: “Mike Awesome will be available in Heels and Faces series 4, shortly after series 3 goes up in the new year!!!”
additionally
4/7/2022 ZST Instagram: “Pillman will be in hand with Slick around the Holiday season” (this is the retro not the 6in)
7/18/2023 ZST Instagram: The Savage Legacy Collection “Arriving early 2024”
also
The following figures seem to be the furthest in production:HOG, Ahmed Johnson, Big Bully, Mr Hughes, Shane Douglas, Francine, Mike Awesome. There’s been retro drawings of pillman, RVD, Whipwreck, Sandman so maybe a ECW series coming.
If there is a Series 4 I predict just one off releases that accumulate to a Series and not a five figure dump. I believe the singles are much easier for ZST to handle and give him the cash flow to put out another single. All the single releases from the past 3 years were able to fund Series 3 without a preorder (still had to release OMG and “variant” slick separate).
My advice to ZST (and all his wFigs aliases) is to just be square with people “Hey I can get these figures made but I need it to be crowd funded and 16 months”. Otherwise this current “model” is unsustainable.
PS
2/17/2022 ZST Instagram: “once Series 1 is in hand, all other Heels and Faces series will be out rapid fire!”

it's clear that ZST's process is reliant on crowdfunding the production, and if he was clear with that from the beginning, people would be more trusting
but as you've also articulated in your post, he's made a LOT of promises and pretty much failed to deliver on every single one of his own deadlines, but if he'd been more honest from the start, people could have bought into his model more
I also don't like his misuse of the term "sold out" - his figures can't sell out, he's made that many and I suspect re-run a few hot sellers, which is fine, but stop farming FOMO to market a product that is clearly not a limited run.

Slick does look pretty cool, but I'm not willing to pay so much money for a manager. Has he shown Power and Glory actual production run figs? The ones in his post still look like some sort of prototypes, mainly saying since the paint isn't as sharp or glossy as I'd expect from the final product.

Has Zombie dropped any hints on who is in the next set? Maybe Ahmed Johnson. Chris Candido. The bloody Flair?

Probably some of those, I'd guess most of the ones shown at WM weekend would be possibilities since they at least had prototypes. Probably HOG soon as someone else stated.

Did he also show some ECW guys. I remember seeing Sandman, 2 Cold Scorpio, and Shane Douglas, but now I can't remember if it was him or someone else who showed them.

I just assumed those were the final versions. OMG certainly is.

Yeah back on page 44 or 45 you can find pics from Instagram. It’s Aldo Montoya, Sandman, Francine, Masato Tanaka, and Mike Awesome. But, I believe you can find pics of Shane Douglas and Chris Candido and 2 Cold Scorpio on Instagram, too.

A great set and all wants for me, however he releases them all together and it's too expensive,the full set will be around £250 and that is crazy, like the earlier post said, all are available at the moment still. I already purchased OMG so might just get Tunney and Slick for now.

Has anyone seen or heard any updates on the road warriors? Really excited for them, but I haven’t seen anything about them in months….

It is ridiculously expensive. I legit put aside 300 because thats the minimum itll cost to get 4 of em to canada. Probably closer to 400 between shipping and fees.

Does Zombie have series 3 in hand to ship June 20? We already have OMG so hopefully the rest are ready to go.

Honestly with how great epics are looking and what mitch has in the pipeline im not seeing these overly detailed soft goods monkey armed figs to be nearly as appealing. The added articulation in the wrists and stuff sucks too. People will pretend its an upgrade but its literally the opposite. The only reason he's doing it is so he can reuse the arms with different hands

The only reason he's doing it is so he can reuse the arms with different hands agree on the reuse part, but I find the cost to be a factor too - why pay $50 a figure for something that isn't even the best quality on the scene any more?? he's charging premium prices, but the failure to address scaling issues like the problematic arms, or even the heights of some figures (I know scale isn't necessarily important, but Booger is too small compared to others!) and when paying a premium price, you'd expect these issues to have been addressed early in production of each figure, but clearly he's not on the ball when it comes to managing the factory or the QC of his own product
