Yes. And they dont seem to look much like the actual figs so its just a gimmick.

Ron Rudat gets credit as the designer for doing half assed pencil drawings of wrestlers he doesn't know? at this point, he's doing even less work than before - just a basic copy/paste job
I don't even get why ZST still uses Rudat, the Hasbro link has long gone, and Rudat wasn't even "famous" at the time for drawing the Hasbros, no-one knew (or cared) who drew the concept art for toys, and I've said before that Rudat wasn't even interested in the WWF line, his passion was GI Joe which he effectively created, so why ZST keeps the pretence that Rudat's artwork is somehow relevant is beyond me
no-one is buying a Mattel figure because Steve or Bill are working on the series, they're buying the figures because they want the figure itself, who drew it is irrelevant to most collectors (except if you're Rush or anyone associated with them. then it's EXTREMELY relevant so you know to avoid!)

Prices on these for international buyers are absolutely ridiculous. It costs around $70USD to order a single figure from R&R Collectibles. Careful, I was told not to discuss international shipping here 😥

Zombies closing his series 3 preorder Sunday LOL Series 1 just arrived down under. I believe the business model has changed to dumping the leftovers on unsuspecting "businesses" who in this case, deserve each other hehehe

don't bother preordering anything, there's going to be plenty of stock leftover from the initial tranche
he's not even sold out of Series 1 figures yet, Series 3 and 4 will be "available" for many years to come

Companies don’t stop selling stock after 10 days so that they can catch up on fulfillment. They would just put a note saying please allow 7-10 days to ship due to increased demand on our staff. Something is going on.

Whats going on is he thought he'd have stock and he doesnt. And he probably has no idea when. Pretty amateur hour for someone calling other peoples operations "bootleg"

other manufacturers get abuse for this kind of thing (and rightly so) but he's always exempt for some reason
