This was in the email I received the other day: THIS IS A PRE-ORDER, NEXT WEEK WE WILL ANNOUNCE A SPECIAL OFFER ONLY AVAILABLE DURING THIS PRE-ORDER PERIOD! I am guessing some poster (like Sandman got) but I am hoping for an in stock Mr Hughes release.

I really liked this line in the beginning, have 8 of the figs, but I think I might be done with it. The proportions are getting out of control, the arms look ridiculous, bad news & awesome look particularly bad. Left off all the white details on Bad News boots. I was going to grab all the ecw figs, but can’t bring myself to grab them now.

A commercial with Abby, lame. Seems like a waste of money to me

Abdullah was a carny who carved and infected people. Having said that I look forward to The Dark Side of the Ring on Retro Figures 😉😉

According to the post on the major pod FB group series 4 is a pre-order that tentatively won't be ready till January-February so more like Feb/March. Also said the early bird pre-order would be $35 and come with a Ron Rudat design sketch. This is a major step backwards doing a 5 month or so preorder window. Didn't he state multiple times that there would be little to no pre-order window going forward? Not a smart move by Zombie with Epic, G&G, FC, and KWK all stepping up their game putting out great products and in decent turnaround time

I’ve already got 4 figures from him on pre-order, I think I’ll wait

Unless you are using the money to collect interest or finance something else, there isn’t much reason to pre-order items that aren’t very limited. That goes across the board for all companies. But offering a discount is at least a benefit/might take some of the sting out.
Bad News is my biggest want from this set. Abdullah isn’t a need for me but I’m leaning towards it. With Epic Toys doing Ric Flair in a robe, I have zero interest in the current bloody Ric from ZST. Tajiri is good but doesn’t quite blend into my Attitude Era cutoff. Mike Awesome is anything but Awesome which is a shame.

I like the commercial, and I'll definitely be picking up Abby. First, because I always rather liked him, and second, because I doubt there'll be another retro figure of him. Guess I'll also get Tajiri, but I'm not bothered by the other three. I generally consider the appeal of a bloodied figure too limited, Awesome just looks off, and I always found Brown fairly boring. The guys I'm really waiting for are Horowitz and Brawler, though.

The goal he mentioned numerous times was to move past the pre-order method. His attempt at that with Series 3 was met with significant issues regarding business ethics and quality control. $35 off a bundle would be great, only if his prices and shipping costs stay the same. The Tajiri looks good, his best figure imo better than the SFTM and Jakks ones.

He’s shown off renders of the MOCs now, I find it incredibly lame that the Mike Awesome art has him with a belt when the figure won’t actually come with one.

Slightly going off topic but living in the UK and a ZST fan, we don't get the leaflets/flyers that come with the figures advertising the current wave. Does anyone have any they don't need (series 2 and 3, Bully busick, etc) and could possibly send? Happy to pay for postage.

I wasn’t going to bring this up but since you did…I fully agree. I prefer pictures be depicting the same gear or at least the same time period. Using a prop that doesn’t come with the figure bothers me.
