Just saw someone point out that Todd Pettengill is in black (bow tie and cummerbund). So looks like he is getting another figure! Non “exclusive” I guess? Wasn’t that like 1200 pieces and he still has stock? Not sure another is needed Edit: I believe that’s the same picture on the back that’s been used, even for the released figure. Just an old image? |

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. Yeah, a Rockers set or two would be nice, but I think Shawn is pretty much locked up by WWE. |

I think you’re right. I looked at an older photo and it appears to be the same. |

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 Tunney still available on Rock n Roll Collectables |

That faux KB ad on the other page is incredibly impressive.

Yeah, it's a bummer, being HHH's buddy, he's never stepping out of exclusivity. Best we can hope for is maybe a singles Marty from one of the retro companies. I keep saying they should just make a Rockers Marty and make sure it would just so happen that the body would mesh up well with Hasbro's Rockers heads. |

Yeah, I am wondering if it's still happening for sure and/or how soon, since he didn't have anything to show off for them at NYCC among the sea of other figures he had on display. I would also like a singles Marty though in the black with the neon accents. |

Honestly I'm surprised these companies don't play off each other more. WSW has a Buff coming out, someone should be looking at a Scott Norton to make a Vicious & Delicious team and go with the Mattel NWO pack. Epic put out Demolition and Powers of Pain, someone should make a classic Fuji to pair with them (and Muraco to go with him while they're at it). Zombie made the perfect Raven, others should start making Flock members to pair with him. I'm sure I make it sound easier than it is, but it seems like it would be better than everyone making their own version of the same figure, not really a fan of the mutations G & G were showing off either. Looking forward to the Brain Busters though. With them, a Mattel & Zombie Flair, someone needs to make a Barry Windham, Ole Anderson and J.J. Dillon.

Unless I'm mistaken, I think Epic are doing Windham. |

CM Punk should be shipping soon if the status page on his site is accurate. I wont be holding my breath but would be a cool surprise to get my longest lasting pre-order to show up in the next week or two.
Considering the same status page shows Triple B shipping late Sept/early Oct I am guessing I will not see any of these until 2025.

Honestly, I'd love for Mitch to make a more proper Raven that actually looks like a Hasbro. Rest of the flock I'd pass on though, except for an American Males Scotty Riggs, otherwise those guys are REALLY deep cuts, especially considering WCW has only really had it's surface scratched at this point across all companies. |

I’m content with Raven but would love it if someone made a Johnny Polo.

I agree some of them would be (Sick Boy, Reese, Lodi) but a couple like Saturn, Kanyon, Kidman and Van Hammer wouldn't be that deep. Not guys that were only with the Flock but, Flock adjacent. |

what I don't understand is why he's half-arsing it from the get go???
yeah, most people will order Ash if they're fans of the movie, but if you have plans to release other characters in the lineup, surely it would make much better business sense to demonstrate to an audience right at the start that there's a range planned, and this is the size/scale of it, rather than "Hey, I'm gonna make a random figure. Others may (or may not) come down the line, but start by ordering this random character and we'll work out the rest later!!" and just expect people to jump onboard because they buy your other stuff?
why not reveal say 6 figures, and say "These first 3 will be available, and then the next three down the line" so people can A) decide to invest in a line which appears to be going somewhere, and B) gives collectors something to start a "new" collection off from day one, rather than piecemeal with no guarantee it will end or be complete
and to add to that - ZST is visible to a small niche (Retro scaled figures) of a small niche (wrestling figures) market - unless he's doing some massive push on social media, hoping to reboot his previous action figure/collector market from prior to H&F starting, then I don't see how he's going to manage to garner enough interest in this new line outside of wrestling figure fans, which is a minute market compared to the much wider action figure/movie collector market
