Top Rope Collectibles (Galoob style figures!)

[/quote]I did that just to mess with Jamie. Epic is doing a new line but hasn’t come out and announced what they are just yet. He is quick witted and would probably find a humorous way to neither confirm nor deny.[/quote]


Lol, well I hope it's a possibility. It'd be very refreshing to see the line honoured in what's undoubtedly a renaissance of the retro era. It literally ran alongside the Hasbro line, and is still so overlooked even now.

The possibilities are endless...

Godspeed little GaLukes... Godspeed.

Anything is better than "GaLubes"...

Two Galoob inspired lines, what a time haha. Love it

Great podcast, and cheers for answering our questions. Lots to look forward to! We've gone from asking whether the Galoob style would ever return, to getting not one but two companies bringing it back.

It's very exciting to actually hear a detailed chat on how it's all actually going to work. Lots of stuff to consider. It's also refreshing to hear that they're gonna be moving away from the preorder model, and that they're not going to go down the avenue of putting out chases and hard to find variants. They're also correct in stating that two companies putting this style out is ultimately a win for us fans.

Good luck to Top Rope. To paraphrase Father Ted, Top Rope: a great bunch of lads.

I’m still making my way through this interview. Lots to unpack. I think they are learning a lot about what is working and what isnt working in today’s wrestling toy climate. I like a lot of what they hope to accomplish. My concern is to do with their price point as well as their wishy-washy vision of what they want to do with this line. Flexibility is necessary for survival but indecisiveness feels like a lack of confidence. Once a product or two have been delivered, I’m sure his stance will have become firmer.

I definitely support the “no series” movement. I wish all independent figure companies would move towards this so that figures could be delivered more frequently and not get delayed due to hang ups from one or two of the figures in that series. But with the cost of shipping from the factories and individual customers, I get why this isn’t common practice. Mitch and Zombie seem to be doing waves of 2 which is almost as good.

So far the PN News, Mr. Wonderful, Joey Janela, and now Marcus Bagwell announced.

While I'm not a huge JJ fan, I do think he'd fit the line if he's got his look from a few years ago doing Indies and early AEW, with the long colourful tights. He had a sort of early 90s WCW look, imo .
