Bob looks kinda bad, and he was one of the few that I've been looking forward to. Giant arms and huge feet. Hope it gets improved in the 2 years until it actually ships. Or maybe Mitch makes one too with any luck.
Sidenote, it's pretty amazing to see the polar opposite reactions of praise for Holly if you go to the MWFP page haha. Total echo chamber over there where nobody will critisize anything the boys or Zombie does.

They are always so fast to criticize Mitch for every little thing, but never Zombie. |

I feel like things are becoming really hit and miss with these. Herc and Roma are fantastic figures, but there seems to be quite a few misses lately. Yep. He does his best ever figures with the road warriors, and then puts out that Halle. |

The WSW Macho Man was missing tape on one hand and that was a big deal, this Holly (as of now) has no wrist tape or elbow pad and that is fine? Not to mention the other obvious problems. |

So typical unfortunately. Thatll be brushed off or not mentioned at all versus a rant on wsw. The take on stuff is wild and whats wilder is how many go along with it

The take on stuff is wild and whats wilder is how many go along with it well, none of the other companies are producing figures of the MWFP crew, so is it any wonder why they're intentionally biased towards the company that hands them additional income? |

You saw it specifically in this thread when MWFP laid into ZST for the p&g bait and switch then all of a sudden it was ok to hold ZST accountable bc Cardona authorized it, posts stopped getting deleted. |

Tbf the production figures always turn out better than the proto with ZST. This will look nice next to Hasbros 1-2-3 Kid. I especially like the face expression. I always think the heads/faces end up looking a little worse than the proto. I usually like them at proto stage and come final product I’m often not quite as impressed. Slick, Jack Tunney are examples for sure. For me Andre was like that, the prototype looked amazing but when it was revealed he looks a strange washed out white. |

The arms on most of his figures look ridiculously long, some going down to their knees |

I’m not hating just to hate - I own 5 of them. All companies need to use better flesh tones. |

Yeah, although I do like the green paint on Animal, it is a bit samey lately. I don't hate these, though, but will I spend £90-£100 on them? Not likely. I'll see how Epic's turn out, and I'd be surprised if no other retro company has a stab. Frankly, I'd love a Galoob version. I would much rather have Galoob NWA-style Road Warriors than Hasbro-style retros. Not knocking these in the least; you just brought up something I didn’t know I needed! I would hope for removable pads but molded wouldn’t be the end of the world. Oh absolutely, this version is, imo, made for the Galoob style! Preferably removable shoulder pads. |

Have you noticed the Matt Cardona /800 is the most transparent figure ZST has done to date. Tons of photos, inventory updates, shipping timeframes, emails, social media posts. Any guesses why that is? It was already produced 2 years ago and has been sitting in his warehouse since the bloody version in the 2 pack shipped? |

I think the answer is pretty clear that VintageFigs1 asks for acountability, and actually gets it. Zombie doesn't care or get that from the other talent. |
