Latoonie has signed Ric Flair. I’m noticing a pattern! lol I don't mind this at all. Let's see what they can produce. While I really loved the BRG ring gear Flair as soon as I saw the first pics, there are a few things that I noticed once I got it in hand that I think leaves wiggle room for improvement, and same goes for the BRG line as a whole. Lots of great figures, but their style does deviate a little from vintage LJNs with certain details, even though they are the closest so far. Let's see how close they can get to capturing the feel of these being a continuation of the LJNs, that is, if that's the direction they plan to take with these. I hope this new line succeeds! I’d love to see LJN form factor take off with multiple brands making figures! Competition brings out the best in each company too!

Absolutely! Iron sharpens iron and such.
I’m happy that several Hasbro-style companies came along as they are fulfilling different needs. Had it been just one or two, we never would have gotten a lot of the names or if they did get signed, it would have taken forever for them to be released.

I’m hoping the niche of this line, or another small company willing to take chances, would be to do the deep cuts that others won’t: Young Stallions, Killer Bees, Outlaw Ron Bass, Red Rooster, etc. That could be really fun and flesh out our collections!

Hope they are able to move beyond the same half dozen or so names...Savage, Flair, Andre, Slaughter & Road Warriors, that most of the other indy companies seem to be using.

Any chance we’ll be able to see the finished product of Macho before the end of the preorder? I’d be interested if it looks good MOC with vintage style packaging, similar to the art shown on the site. Also, and I recognize it’s polarizing on here, but if any YouTube/pod influencers can get early access, like the Major Pod, Kyle Peterson, and/or FigHeel, that may help ease our trust too to have them do live unboxing/ reviews while we can still order. I know it would help me! Thanks for the consideration!
