Could pick some up for folks on here too if people are having difficulty finding anything. I think Target have the WWE Legends line as an exclusive but both Target and Walmart have exclusive lines (like Masters of the WWE Universe). Quote

Merzbow Posted December 25, 2020 Posted December 25, 2020 Pretty cool video on the history of the wrestling buddies, there's an interview with the woman who helped design them, too. Quote
Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted December 28, 2020 Paid Members Posted December 28, 2020 Bloke on Insta called JB Toys. Big collector, designs merch for wrestlers, distributes figures for companies etc. VS. Matt Cardona Long story short, Matt acted like a child during a trade they both had 3 years ago, and since then has apparently tried to sabotage this KB Toys business deals with Nick Aldis and Edge. KB Toys has now made a video and it’s all levels of cringe, hilarious, eye opening and I’ll be getting some popcorn. https://www.instagram.com/tv/CJV62MVnknB/?igshid=1kh532vpz3hw9 Quote

In a nutshell. He explained a bad transaction between the 2 of them 3 years ago. He send a box of figs and accessories, one of the accessories got a crease during transit, Matt called him all the names under the sun, and it just went downhill from there. This lad apparently reached out to say... “let’s bury the hatchet, life’s too short, let’s move on and I’ll happily donate a wedge to your Toy Drive charity”. Matt apparently said no. FF to today, the lad has just found out that Matt has tried to discredit him and sabotage his business deals with Nick Aldis (distribution of his new figure) and his deal with Edge (custom making him a title belt). Matt apparently told people “he’s a scammer” which apparently isn’t true. The video above last 25 mins, him calling Matt “piece of shit, asshole” and a host of other things, and threatened a law suit for deformation. Matt’s mate suggested he take it down, it’s now down.

Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted January 4, 2021 Paid Members Posted January 4, 2021 Now Chella Toys have started their Hasbro style line, which so far officially includes Nick Aldis, Blue Meanie and Ethan Page, it was a matter of time before someone had a punt at the Hasbro style line to compete. Cardona & Myers have released proto pics of their new line, which is also on the Hasbro style. Basically styled from Hasbro series 1 Hogan & Warrior molds. More names to be added apparently. Regardless of how the figures turn out, I honestly can’t speak highly enough about the lads designing the figures. Tippy is the lad doing all of the concept art for Chella and TTD does all of the Major Pod art and attire designs. Both really sound lads from over here. Here’s my Aldis figures and a pic of Cardona & Myers protos. Quote
Bohan Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 If anyone is still after AEW series 1 figures they are now in stock at The Entertainer via their website. They currently have a 25 percent off sale on everything (aside from Lego) and yesterday the figures were initially included in the offer. As of today due to the figures popularity they've changed the offer to "25 percent off of everything excluding Lego and AEW" and put a limit on 2 per customer. They've been going for silly money on the secondary market over the past two months! Quote
dopper Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 Thanks very much for that tip @Bohan. My 5 year old was gutted he couldn't get a Chris Jericho with his xmas spending money, and sadly they are now out of stock in that sale too. But I got a Cody Rhodes & Kenny Omega just now which might make up for it! Quote

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted January 8, 2021 Paid Members Posted January 8, 2021 Cardona and Myers have built up so much brand loyalty from their audience. And rightly so, they dont talk down to them and always deliver on their promises. The Major Figure Pod and UpUpDownDown are more in touch with the modern fanbase than WWE is. Quote
Paid Members Tommy! Posted January 25, 2021 Paid Members Posted January 25, 2021 I'm sorry if I've missed something, I don't pop in here that often, but why does Chyna come with Rocco? Quote
Merzbow Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 You buy the entire line and get Ellering & Rocko, each figure in the set contains a part. I've seen it done with other figures like Dragon Ball. Quote
