It's a great looking figure, and looks to be a hell of a lot more detailed than his Andre. Surely one for the Flair purists/completists, though!

haha I'm a Flair fan with a modest Flair collection going on and I doubt I'll get this. Points for uniqueness, but umm yeah no.

Yep, “jumps the shark” in my opinion.

Yep, “jumps the shark” in my opinion. agreed, it vaguely resembles Flair, body sculpt is pretty off, and no play-value - it's literally a rubber statue of a very specific moment (like Rick Rude LJN). It's a novelty - oh and Lantoonie's wonky scale will probably have this as tall as a BRG Andre |

This guy is quickly becoming the rush of ljn style figures and collecting. Clearly has no care for what could be his hardcore audience and buyers. Poorly scaled and joke worthy designs so far.
Macho in the silver would have been great had it been scaled properly and a unique sculpt. Warrior Andre head looks incredible but the nonsense of being so out of wacky scale is just dumb in todays market and competition.

Yeah, I don’t think I’d want a figure of an accused sexual assaulter pulling his pants down. Even if you ignore that and were a fan of that segment, I’d hide it in the depths of hell before another human sees it.

There’s certainly a market for unpolitically correct wrestling figures. It could work but the road to profitability could be tough

I'm not really interested in politicians, though, as while they're also largely psychopathic, they're just not as interesting to me. An LJN Ed Gein, though? Yeah, and accessories. |

If they were going that route they should just make it LJN relevant and make guys like Snuka, Haynes, etc. |

That flair is a must have. I wish his packaging design were better though.

Chatting with him right now. I’m not sure I understand the inspiration. From what I am gathering, it isn’t straight up Cyclops from X-men but some sort of hybrid mashup of Mega Powers Macho and a cartoon show called Silverhawks:  |

Claiming this is Silverhawks inspired in insane. The character Bluegrass was sometimes shown in a darker blue, but there's no way.  |

This Savage is no where near a Silverhawks character. This one confuses me. He's reaching now.

I can see this as a cyclops homage sure. A Silverhawks homage...dont see that at all. If it was in red with those stars, I could see it being a Mon-Star (Silverhawks villain) homage. Even though its still weirdly random.

Get some product in hand before you start doing mental stuff. Advice for whoever needs it I guess
