I always laugh when they never say anything bad about zombie figures or when another company makes something great and they give "oh I thought that was a zombie..."
Did they ever mention the lack of dangly bits on Ultimos mask?

If the Road Warriors will be an early 2025 release, doesnt that mean they should be going up for pre-order soon?

ETA for delivery on the doorstep will be closer to Christmas

We are inching closer to Black Friday. ZST had hyped some big plans for that I think during the Sam Roberts interview. Anything you guys are hoping to see either for sale or announced? Reminder of last year’s ad which is probably one of my favorite things I’ve seen in the modern retro era: http://instagram.com/p/C0COXaAuhAt (Epic did something similar this year but it was truer to their UK roots). |

We will be a year into my bad habit of buying retro figures this Black Friday. I loved the Raven when I first saw it, but by then it was sold out. This sale I had to pick that figure up and threw in a Sabu and started my year of spending too much money on wrestling figures! |

This sale I had to pick that figure up and threw in a Sabu and started my year of spending too much money on wrestling figures! again, more proof that ZST's marketing is BS that a product is "sold out"
he just "sold out" of the volume of stock allocated for that particular sale or sales window. "sold out" used to mean - that was it, sold out. no more stock, nothing to buy here.
whereas indy producers like Zombie (and Mitch does this too) don't actually sell out. I wouldn't be surprised if they also do a second run of highly popular items, which yet again discredits their hype and "sold out" narrative. at least Epic were honest and up front with people about re-runs of Demolition and Powers of Pain. other producers just seem to magically sprout quantities of extra figures from the back of their sofa it seems  |

False scarcity is a strategy that has worked out nicely for him but at some point you’re going to go to the well one too many times for a number of customers. We may have started to see signs of that. Then again, it might be offset by the growth of the line as the company’s popularity spreads.

When he showed the back of the sandman card a few figures were redacted. Safe to say these were two but it looks like there could be a couple more that are revealed once we have that sandman in hand

Yikeshausen. I love that Danhausen (as a character) but that isn’t a look that needed a Retro. Same with Sullivan…though I’m not going to bash that as I hope it helps out his estate. It looks cooler than his previous figure.

Kevin Sullivan’s early career is something I’m only vaguely familiar with. The new figure had me looking to see what match or feud it was supposed to represent. I found a couple of photos; one of which trigged a core memory! The black and white photo was used in a book or magazine my dad had when I was younger. I had thought it was Jim Duggan with Damien lol.   |

I hope somehow bully Busick and Tunney are available again. The only ones I am upset to have missed out on.
Def excited to see what may come on Black Friday with zombie and the rest of the retro torch bearers

Has anyone heard if the Punk/Larry 2-pack is still on-track for the late-Oct/early-Nov (as per their website)? I am not on social outside of this page and lots of companies post on IG or something like that.

If it’s going to be ready next month I’d suspect we’ll start seeing pics soon, that’s usually what he does. Nothing on those since the pre-orders |

Neither are characters I need. Wish he would do Taskmaster Kevin Sullivan.

Nothing on those since the pre-orders Sadly I've heard the same, that he's as transparent as Powertown. Thanks a bunch nonetheless though! |

If he's doing repaints, I hope Power & Glory are next. I would love their long tights look with the black shirts.   |

I'm not sure if I need a 2nd Power and Glory, but that attire does look cool. I'm more wanting some updated Rockers retros though looking at Shawn in this pic. Too bad it'll probably never happen though.

Just saw someone point out that Todd Pettengill is in black (bow tie and cummerbund). So looks like he is getting another figure!
