Boogers great proportionally, but scaled next to the rest he's ridiculous

I know these guys are using Chinese factories, but that's no excuse for a lack of QC for your own product, it's almost as though they're doing QC via Zoom, and then receiving the production shipment of figures and trying to make the most out of a bad situation, rather than nipping it in the bud earlier in the process

Got my order from Rock'n'Roll Collectibles yesterday. So happy, to finally get the Jarrett. It's an amazing figure

Def a warning sign - but we'll see when these figures *actually* ship. June 2024 and only on wave 3....

I will be getting Power & Glory and Slick as they are such missing holes in the line. Agree that I wish there were better updates on the figure quality by showing the most recent version.
Assuming Flair, Macho and Road Warriors get released this year as standalone, do you we think there is another Zombie series this year? Based on the prototypes at Wrestlecon it seems to be leaning either ECW (Shane Douglas, Francine, Candido, Scorpio, Tanaka, Sandman) or a New Gen (Hakushi, Godwin, Ahmed, Aldo, Bob Holly). Personally I am hoping to see New Gen over ECW, would also love to see Bad News Brown and Barry Horowitz come out at some point before 2030

That is a hard one to speculate on westhejobroni but I will give it my best shot based on what information we have. It appears as though we are in the 2021 timeline right now: -Everyone that was shown and announced for what would become series 1 & 2 has been released -Jarrett, Danhausen, Pettengill, and the Andres have been released -We are days away from what became Series 3 being released. All of those things were shown off/announced in the first year that Heels and Faces was announced. So what is left? -Cardona/Gage 2 pack (match was end of July ‘21, drawings shown a few weeks after, prototypes shown in September, went on sale Oct or Nov 2023). -Enzo drawing shown -Mr. Hughs drawing shown -Amish Roadkill drawing shown -Mike Awesome drawing shown -Striped Earl Hebner drawing shown -Brooklyn Brawler drawing shown -RVD drawing shown (later reported as canceled) -Swoggle drawing shown (later reported as canceled) -Barry Horowitz announced -Rock n Roll Express announced -Brian Pillman announced -Ultimo Dragon announced -Henry Godwinn first teased -Sex Ferguson teased -Chris Candido teased -Banjo the gorilla and Kevin Costner shenanigans I’m sure there are other announcements or teases that I missed but that is a fairly good look into what we have coming in the next 6-12 months. There will also be line cutters like Gargano, Booger, Bruce Lee, CM Punk, etc. so keep that in mind. Some of what you asked about or mentioned wasn’t until 2022 or even later so I really don’t have a good guess on that. Road Warriors were early 2022, Savage mid 2023, Flair was October 2024.

Big Bully Busick was also shown off ages ago as a prototype, wonder when that'll be available???

cheville2001 - I believe he was February 2022. I don’t think ZST is planning themed series, but if he was he could absolutely do an enhancement set with Busick, Brawler, Horowitz, Hugh’s, and maybe Enzo. So far, we have seen painted samples of the following figures which are probably the most likely releases after series 3. An ECW set is absolutely possible but I really like figs from different eras being peppered in: 2 Cold Scorpio Ahmed Johnson Big Bully Busick Chris Candido Francine Henry Godwinn Hakushi Macho Man Mike Awesome Mr. Hughs Ric Flair Road Warriors Sandman Shane Douglas Tanaka

I love Retro figures too but that’s a bit much for me.

Looking at the figures, you have to admit the guy put out a quality line. They might not be a great match for Hasbros, but they are *very* good figures.
Had he been a nice person, I can't imagine how much more popular would be.
The other issue is the timeline. When did the first series come out -- 2022? And announced in 2020/2021? It's insane to only have 3 full series out by now.

Not that it really works this way but if you add up all 3 series along with all of the other special releases and repaints, he will have averaged roughly one figure per month. Silly statistic because that’s not how they are released. It just makes me wish he actually split figures up instead of doing them in series.

Yeah I agree, bit of a douche bag which ruins his image. Shame as I like his figures.

I don't think it's silly *if* you take out the repaints (and special releases that are repaints, which is almost all). What's the statistic then over 3 years?
