Call me cynical but multiple emails to get this response doesn’t fill me with hope. No tracking info or shipment confirmation email other than this.

All this talk of influencers and fig reviewers, does any actual adult (16 and over) actually buy items based on someone else’s opinions? Im not sure in my 30+ years of collecting ive ever been swayed by someone elses pics or reviews from purchasing an item of any kind, especially action figures and collectibles If you’re new to a line it can sometimes be helpful if someone does a review and compares to another version of the figure, or maybe even if your not new to a line you may have missed a figure. E.g, Dan does ‘comparison time’ when he will compare a new figure he’s reviews to other iterations. That can help you get a sense of scale, or maybe see an iteration you prefer. However if I don’t like a figure but a review says it’s good I don’t change my opinion. It’s wrong to suggest someone over a certain age wouldn’t pay interest to a review - otherwise companies in all different industries wouldn’t spend money producing snd sending out review units - films, music, computer games etc all have reviews because people use them to help form an opinion. People use reviews of insurance and financial products which are very much aimed at a young adult + market Classic rock magazine has tons of reviews and is firmly aimed at the older generation of 30+ Retro gamer has reviews and as the name suggests is aimed at an approaching middle age and older generation Even Amazon or Google reviews or eBay feedback is a form of review I like reviews on something I’ve not seen a good shot of. Let’s face it even ringside post pre orders without showing a picture, independent companies putting up ore orders with concept art and so on. I won’t buy off someone’s else’s opinion, but then showing something off can help me decide. Now when the review is audio only and they take liberties it’s frustrating but I’ve not ordered off an audio review yet.

Is there anyone who dies honest reviews? Not having a pop at Kyle or anyone but even the major bros this week said about zst one of them had the cape peeling off the tattoos and two said “it wouldn’t bother me” and within 5 mins were saying zombie makes a premium line and the best figures on the market.
Compare that to them going to town on a bubble peeling on the Chella Adam bomb and it’s obvious the bias comes in and you can’t trust their reviews to be genuine anymore.
Kyle is obviously going easy on super7 as pointed out.
Again don’t care all that much about them, but does anyone have a reviewer they trust that they can look at before deciding? I’d be keen to know if I’m ever on the fence I could go somewhere for an honest review.

Very satisfied. Echo a few others about not painting on the skin tone on a few figures and the occasional howler, but 95% of the figures I want to buy are executed brilliantly.

Cost of Verne Gagne Figure Wave 1 Pre-Order - $67.00 Shipping to Australia - $116.00 Total AUD - $183.00 The drive to support these companies is there. The financial logistics behind doing so is certainly not considering that is for a SINGLE figure.... I can literally have a box of figures shipped express for nearly half that from a friend walking into a post office. This is just a company skimming from the post cost to mark up the already premium priced figures. Patiently waits for someone to come in and tell me goes it’s a little company and they don’t have shipping deals….

+1 $33.50USD for shipping to Australia. As everyone in the UK has said $33/$34 it appears they are using a flat (made up) rate. Additionally that's $33.50US for EACH SET so $67 for two etc. Get your act together and offer combined shipping. Yep. We have to keep mentioning this as about 4 years ago it was like this and they listened and offered a better shipping option. 6-12 months ago they quietly swapped it all back and here we are. It eats me alive when I get the same amount added in for each extra figure only for them to all arrive in one box with no special shipping efforts.

Raven The Dudley Boys in the dye Lance Storm Justin Credible The Sandman Taz Shane Douglas Mike Awesome Steve Corino Jerry Lynn I don’t care if it’s Mattel, ZST, Jazwares or hell even Powertown, I just want those guys. And I’m going to push back on the notion “ECW hasn’t aged well”. Go back and watch 98-01. You’re going to see guys work matches that laid the groundwork for 90% of today’s wrestlers. People seem to have this notion that all of ECW’s appeal was barbwire, burning tables and a barely dressed women, when there was so much more to it. Amen. Thought I was the only one that lived late ecw so much more than early ecw.

I bought the bubbly jericho despite it not fitting my collection and have since bought Tazz to put next to Cole.
I had such high hopes of them giving us legends to fill out my collection and it just hasn’t happened.
Jericho from Mexico I was on the fence and passed. Owen Hart I’ve looked for any way to turn into something I want and found nothing. Two figures in how long now? I just don’t care about it.

I just cannot justify paying this much of a "ringside tax" to get elite figures a little bit early Yeah it’s hit that ceiling again and it will have to drop at some point I feel.

Anyone who ordered directly through Chella happen to know who is best to contact? No word on my dynamite and I have Sabu ordered too. wrestlingtrader@outlook.com I think. They were held back by the Royal Mail issues but IIRC they had an Instagram story about being able to ship internationally again and they would have everything out pretty much that day. I haven’t heard anything since about several of my orders… Thanks heaps mate.

I won’t buy just anyone, but being a big name isn’t the deciding factor.
Probably won’t be grabbing Jake and Rude as I have a Jake so similar and that Rude attire is boring.
It’s got to be figures I need.

It’s one thing if they advertised as being brittle and for display only, but to sell them and then start moving the goalposts as some on here seem to think is ok…..
Don’t move the legs….. GTFOH
