sadly I've grown sour on ZST, and it's not because of the long-armed generic poses...it's primarily because of his carny-mentality - there's a fine line between promoting your product and lying to your consumer market constantly. I'll definitely pick up Abby to go with my Brody, and if he ever produces the Road Warriors by 2028 I'm game. But I'm good, was never a huge ECW fan so his ECW-heavy roster bares no interest for me. I felt similar before but then I decided I wasn’t gonna let some jerk get in the way of me getting new “Hasbros.” He’s no good but I like the figures so I’ll keep getting them.

Would be hilarious if, out of spite, Zombie made Mabel a jumper.

I think he showed a 3D render of Bob Holly, didn’t he?

Mitch's Men on a Mission were excellent. Yeah, I owned all 3 sets, kept the final set and sold the other 2. If he'd of made the 1st set with the gold paint, they'd of been perfect. Maybe Zombie will surprise us and outdo Mitch and make the original attire as it should have been with proper gold paint and sculpts that look like Hasbros, but at this point I don't have much faith in Zombie's line. Hope he surprises us though.

The 3d sculptor seems more inline with Hasbros than whoever is doing the by hand wax sculpts. I just opened a Jeff Jarrett the other day, the face is still too detailed for me, but the rest is fantastic. Feels like a Hasbro. I’m looking forward to the 2 Cold Scorpio figure using the body too

ZST posted on Instagram yesterday his white gloved hand holding an MOC Gage/Cardona 2-pack with the caption “The GAGE/CARDONA two-pack came out INCREDIBLE!”
What he is doing is trying to make you believe the “huge” shipment is in hand. What he is actually showing you is final carded production sample he’s had for months.
Why would he do that? Is it the “hustler mentality”?

They actually look great, for renders, and as you say ... They actually resemble Hasbro figures as opposed to something out of Celebrity Deathmatch.

Holly and Montoya look good! Montoya looks like the Jarrett body.

Holly and Montoya look good! Montoya looks like the Jarrett body. The legs and arms for sure. JJ body has the straps molded on though. Bob Holly looks great.

Either they use REALLY thick paint or it is molded into the plastic. I am not going to try to scrape it to see. In other words if close your eyes and run your hands across you feel the straps on his chest.

The original sculpt looked much thicker, but it’s a great figure.

That is a better question but not one that we are likely to ever have answered. None of us can figure out why Zombie Sailor lies so often. It could be that hustler mentality. Always make things look as grand as possible and then cover up anything that goes wrong. Sweep every issue under the rug and use distractions to change the conversation. I appreciate how transparent everyone is these days: The Major Bendies/BRGs, KWK, Epic, and for the most part FC (they work largely in silence but don’t run from problems). All we can do is speculate as to why he does what he does. At the end of the day, it’s about the figures I want in my collection (whenever they might arrive). You must be my alt account because this is the same "negative" stuff I have said! What a strange coincidence.
I just watched the Major Podcast for this week and I guess I am the only person who is looking forward to a Big Bully Busick figure. When he debuted I was all in on him and was kind of disappointed when he was gone a few months later. I hope that Mitch can get his Harvey Whippleman figure out soon to go with Busick. I also hope that his hat does not fall like Slicks, I assume not since he wont be swapping hats with anyone.
I'd like to believe that I had a hand in Busick's figure coming to life, as I recommended Zombie get in touch with Bully's son Branko on instagram and set that wheel in motion; Big Bully Busick is one of my dream figures. I am pretty miffed that it's going to be a limited run SDCC exclusive, I'm terrified I will miss out on it.
