Kind of makes you wonder... Is he gonna continue putting out unlicensed figures on his private page as well as producing licensed figures? If not, why continue to make guys you don't have signed? Also brings into question whether there's any legal issues to having openly sold unlicensed figures when you're now a verified company making licensed stuff. Were the LOD or the Steiners ever sold by him prior to getting signed? Is there a loophole whereby you just give them a different name or something? Has he actually put out anything? I was under the impression he made them all for himself. I’ve never seen them in anyone else collection. He def doesn’t have deals with all the guys in the picture. I’m guessing the point is to show that the work is already done if/when the opportunity presents itself to release other figs It's still kind of strange that he'd show production samples of guys he's not got signed alongside guys he may have signed. The question put to him was whether he had any more figures on the way, or something along those lines, and his response was that picture. It's just kind of odd to me. I'm not suggesting anything nefarious, but it is kind of misleading. |

Now that he’s in the business of selling licensed figures, that’s all he should show unless he posts an explicit disclaimer stating that what he’s showing is fan art for his personal collection, otherwise people will easily get the wrong idea. |

I was on the fence about ordering but the reddish-tint may have me off. They do not look good that way and I am concerned with the final product especially since the majority of photos he shows are always heavily edited.

Again, looking at his Instagram, he's got some fantastic looking figures, but what's the deal, are they made for fun and not to be sold, or what? I can't really read the comments below the pictures without an account.

I can't really read the comments below the pictures without an account. He only has the Steiners and LOD. The others are for fun to the best of my knowledge. Maybe he accepts offers on the DL. |

I was just genuinely curious, as he's got a lot of names and I didn't know what was on the table for production versus what was just for show. Hopefully he's able to produce a Bulldog. His Andre and Haku are fantastic. |

He did a pretty good job announcing LOD and Steiners so I’m sure when he announces more figures made to purchase, it’ll be easy to tell. Everything else is easy to assume is just personal hobby.

I have been following him for a while hoping he would start selling them. There’s been a few I have wanted to own Sting, Piper, Orndorff (I think I remember seeing one in his collection) the Steiners and Road Warriors. I did order the Steiners for now to see how they are in person. I know that means I miss out on the Road Warriors. But if the quality of these are there I will gladly buy the others if he puts them up for sale.

yeah in-hand quality will be the definitive factor for me too. I'm willing to risk it all and go all-in if the product meets that premium standard-feel. This obviously isn't paying faithful homage to the 'bros so I'm wondering how I feel about everyone basically in the same stance. Love the art style though.

Hope he gets the rights to Macho because his looks better than every non Big Rubber Guy recent Macho I’ve seen.

Is he adjusting the skin tone on these? They are not "red" in the most recent images.  |

Love the tag team theme. Let’s get some Brainbusters and Rock N Roll. Those would be great. I could see Demolition as a possibility, they seem to be getting figures made by others. Brain Busters would be huge. Rockers and Hart Foundation would look amazing as well. Power & Glory, too. EDIT: Saw your post first. Just saw the pic of Powers of Pain and Demolition. Thats great. |

No offense to the Major Bros but I do hope this is strictly a line the sticks to classic figures. Being a completionist and having to buy a Brian Myers figure would kind of suck. Haha

Demolition look great, and PoP do too, but I feel like Epic did those well enough, while Epic's Demolition in entrance gear wasn't really my thing.
Scott Steiner's non likeness coupled with the same old Steiner attire prevented me from buying those, but I'm still interested to see what's down the line.
