I don't know what's really changed for me between the New Gen arena and this crowdfund, but I'm going to have a hard time spending $250+ on whatever this next thing is. It would have to be really in my wheelhouse for me to consider it. Something like Fighter Hayabusa posted would get me going but if it's even the slightest bit underwhelming, I can't picture myself dropping this much cash on something at this point.

A Sid Ultimate would be a dream come true for me.

Side note for the Keychains & Gatchapon series….even though the sculpts resemble Bandai’s work, Gatchapon typically revolve around trends, so many companies hop on the band wagon to produce their take on things…the NJPW Keychain set you’re talking about comes from the “Sofvi” finger puppet styles. This makes it harder to Pinpoint unfortunately, but my CharaPro exhibition I’ll feature on my site is a few questions away from being complete. I’m hyped! Roman, what’s the URL of your site? I’d love to check it out. I love all things wrestling figures/history and the Japanese lines are some of my favorite.

Hey guys, is the Wcw Galoob figure of Z-Man ( Tom Zenk ) the only figure of him that’s ever been made? … I don’t recall ever seeing him in any other series from Wcw or Wwf/e … Just curious You can always use Wrestling Figure Database and do a search to find all figures of any wrestler ever made. Here's Zenk: wrestlingfiguredatabase.com/search?q=Tom+Zenk&options%5Bprefix%5D=last. There are also hundreds of galleries already built out under the By Wrestler section.

Definitely following this post, as I've tried to uncover similar answers without avail.
CharaPro/Tohkon/Mogura House/Dreams Come True and every other CharaPro-like subline (figural straps, Mini Big Head keychains, etc.) keeps me up at night while doing the database. Within lines you'll have CharaPro or Tohkon (see NJPW deluxes) plus the 2-pack mention above that makes the whole structure pretty convoluted.
If I had to make a guess, they're all produced by the same factory under a different banner...but I don't know.

Mr. Ozer, thanks for all you do. Something came up on the ol' Twitter the other day, so thought I'd go straight to the source: What happened with Hollywood Elite series 2? I know Andre saw fairly wide release, but did Roman and the Rock ever hit mass retail?

Im at a point where id rather wait til something comes out, see it for what it actually is and Then put down my money, even if that means waiting for a second run as opposed to slapping down cash and waiting a year or more. No more fomo. Same. Done with all the preorders for unproven product.

What is the deal with the King Harley Race micro brawler? Is that the August crate exclusive? And then Steamboat is the September? Couple things….first off SPOILERS!!!! BOO this man! Second off Steamboat isn’t even in the next crate. Sorry! I’m awful. It never occurred to me…

I've got it for you. Pretty good looking to me. Now when's the pre-order? ![](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Faek387XgAEAnkt?format=jpg&name=large) ![](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Faek39xXwAYlBJV?format=jpg&name=large) ![](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Faek388XkAEcYa8?format=jpg&name=large) Right?! Still just a concept.

Update via the latest Major Pod: Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Relativity Worldwide LLC Steve Rosenthal was recently interviewed by the Give Me Back My Pro Wrestling podcast. Here are highlights of what Rosenthal stated: • Said they will be at New York Comic Con 2022 • Said they have over 200 talent signed • Said this week (Aug 7–13) they will be announcing when pre-orders go up and what the price point will be• Said a major announcement is coming at New York Comic Con 2022 • Said that they have a deal with Billy Corgan • Said they have signed The Sheik • Said they will be announcing their roster in the next couple of weeks • Said they signed wrestlers to exclusive contracts for the benefit of the wrestlers because they have more than action figures planned • Said they are trying to give back to wrestlers that may not have/had 401(k) plans, pension plans, and health insurance • Said PowerTown Wrestling Series 1 will be coming to fruition over the next 6 to 7 months• Plead the Fifth when asked by one of the hosts if it was possible for them to make Remco AWA-style figures • Said this week (Aug 7–13) that there will be announcements about the Kickstarter project • Said they are close to signing another "really, really major name" who he is shocked nobody has done • Said every one of these wrestlers will have a figure • Said they are well funded • Said there will 5 or 6 other "extremely collectible" product categories Thanks so much for posting the recap! Already missed the date for announcing pre-orders and price point. Today is the 18th. ![;)](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/wink.gif) A deal with Billy Corgan? Figures of current NWA stars would be awesome! I'm still really looking forward to these figures. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. I'm also really looking forward to these figures. I'd love to flesh out my Elite old-timers section with Gagne, Thesz, etc. That being said...the Kickstarter was going to be live in July. Then it was going to be announced last week. We've already seen deals falls through (Dibiase) that are cause for concern. This is the epitome of overpromising and underdelivering. Just freakin' do SOMETHING to make this line a reality instead of a concept.

I received this yesterday. Pretty bummed with it TBH. Issues: 1. Paint looks like crap on the heads. Splotches, etc. 2. The hands are super sloppy pain wise. Looks like they just dipped it in the flesh tone and black. Globby. 3. The elbow pads and knee pads are unwieldy. I like that they tried something different, but they're shifting and getting stuck within the elbow/knee joints. 4. Big old "skin tag"/plastic imperfection in the crotch joint. You can't see it, but it's symptomatic of the rest of the QC issues going on.
I was really looking forward to selling my Entrance Great and whatever other one I've got lying around, but I'm honestly not sure this makes the cut over either of those.

THIS IS EXTREME…ly ambitious. Would love to see them pull everything off but it’s going to be yet another bottleneck of products that won’t be seen for quite some time. I’m still interested in their Hasbro style retros but wasn’t exactly thrilled with the looks of their horror movie figures. Agreed. This guys need to slow down in announcements and get a figure out first. They have already three different lines announced and not one finished project yet. Step by step and you will succeed. I'm not touching anything from this manufacturer with a ten-foot pole until something comes out. Everything, from the branding to the announcements, just seems so much more amateur than Chella and/or ZST. I hope I'm wrong.

I'm pleased others are seeing what this truly is - a pyramid scheme. The Dynamite re stocks and Daddy's were originally meant to be in hand, according to their presser late April - it's now August and still no sign. The Dynamite has also been taken off their website for information. The Gangrel has been sat on "prototype" now for 4 months with no sign of that getting made anytime soon. I wanted Chella to do well. But their good faith has totally expired for me. Early in their creation Chella and I had a direct line of contact and were communicating regularly. During the course of that, he told me that his father was sick and shortly thereafter he went incommunicado. Unfortunately I am inclined to believe that his family situation is greatly impacting his ability to communicate with customers like he wants to and, yes, it's probably also a little bit of "too much too soon." All of my previous communications with him were positive and never gave off the pyramid scheme vibe that, frankly, I get from other producers in the space. That being said, I understand your concerns. I'm also disappointed with how Chella's story has developed, but I'm also concerned about the person behind the line, as I did get to know him a little.
