it's uh [00:01:24] Michael Kanik: truly an honor to have carry von eric and the big rubber guy family get him now because the first one [00:01:28] Matt Cardona: sold out pretty quickly collectmajor.com also coming very very soon and available right now is heel bad guy sergeant slaughter he's got his helmet he's got his red elbow pads tdd what goes into designing a figure like sergeant slaughter is there added pressure to make a legend like sarge i think [00:01:52] Speaker 3: everyone comes with uh comes with an element of pressure right because we want every figure to be a hundred percent perfect but we we've got luckily the perfect team around us so we've got d freedom sourcing the reference me or one of the other designers because we've expanded and we've got a few designers working on the line now and we'll uh we'll pull all the artwork together and then we've got some of the most incredible sculptors in the game led by brian beatty who will uh who will bring these to life so fantastic team but every figure warrants uh don't forget me canic and brosky taking sarge [00:02:27] Michael Kanik: out to eat for a steak and schmoozing him a little bit to sign the deals that goes about every time sgt sgt but that's not our only sgt take a look an evergreen baby face sergeant slaughter the one i think every kid kind of grew up with our age and knows and loves [00:02:44] Matt Cardona: yeah so this isn't even a straight repaint from the other one uh different arms different boots different uh headpiece so i can't wait to add both of these to my collection because at the end of the day yes this is our toy company but we're wrestling figure fans at heart and we add these to our collections as well all right so this figure sold out in what four minutes connect four minutes four [00:03:08] Michael Kanik: a minute maybe our fastest sellout of all time very nice very evil expo in the usa house and dan house and exclusive unbelievable shipping uh very very soon his popularity speaks for itself guys [00:03:23] Matt Cardona: yeah if you missed the boat on that you might have to go over to edward bay and and check that out available earlier this month warlord look at that you talk about a toyetic figure ttd what goes into designing a figure like this and what will be removable what will be molded on how do you decide [00:03:42] Speaker 3: on stuff like that yeah and obviously we we will chat that through as a team every time but we want something that's going to be toyetic and we want something that's going to make sense anyone who's been a hasbro is close to my heart and it's super fun to design i think you have to look at the figure and what you want them to be able to do and say is it worth putting an accessory on or actually should we mold this because it's going to be such a cool piece stood there like this and i think in this instance having the armor molded on is is is absolutely the way to go and i know that's what we all agreed hopefully consumers think the same because i think it's one of the most badass figures that we've uh we've [00:04:19] Michael Kanik: probably ever done screams toyeticness uh guys our next one is one of our biggest free agent signings in [00:04:26] Matt Cardona: the history of major he's here mr bang bang cactus jack in big rubber guy form this one is on sale right now collect major dot com cactus jack with the bang bang hands the wanted dead shirt he's got the scar on the arm perfect addition to the big rubber guy line oh ttd look at that and we gotta say we were so excited [00:04:59] Michael Kanik: to have mcfoley part of the big rubber guy family we air shipped 200 of these the first 200 orders will go [00:05:05] Matt Cardona: out to you yeah we all worked around the clock to rush this figure once we knew we could sign and make cactus jack we stopped everything else to make sure he was our first priority so we have cactus jack but not just a regular cactus jack we have a bloody cactus jack uh different hands so he can hold that barbed wire bat covered in blood and he also has different packaging as well tdd show that off look at that [00:05:37] Michael Kanik: variation we're seeing right there the king of the death match wanted dead packaging variation unbelievable work resealable packaging look at that artwork oh my god [00:05:50] Matt Cardona: incredible job and speaking of the king of the death match to celebrate him winning the king of the death match later in august we will be dropping this exclusive ultra bloody [00:06:03] Michael Kanik: japanese cactus jack king of the death match so cool again alternate packaging blood splattered packaging if you will what an awesome way to celebrate the death match icon himself mcfoley welcome to the team [00:06:21] Matt Cardona: and can you believe it after all these years that the first mcfoley bloody figure is from us like major the first two wow what an honor right very very honored um the collect major orders have been going through the roof for those other cactus jacks and this one we know is going to sell out instantly looks awesome we thank mick for trusting us um i'm just honored to have him a part of the big rubber guy family and speaking of legends on sale now on collectmajor.com also hawk animal the road warriors in their iconic gold look i love these figures what a rush tdd what goes into designing a figure like this um like we talked about earlier the warlord we kept his gear on why did we decide to take these [00:07:14] Speaker 3: shoulder pads off yeah and honestly it could have gone either way i think the the pads on the road warriors um feels like something that should be an accessory and i think actually we went one step further when we did the original road warriors because we had road warriors in black and then we decided to make uh lod in the red and rather than using exactly the same pads we did create whole new pads for lod to match the pads that they were wearing at the time and then this is uh is a repaint of those red lod's but obviously iconic moment for me especially summer slam 92 in the gold then accurate too so bent accurate [00:07:56] Matt Cardona: absolutely let's not forget that each shoulder pad is unique they're not the same shoulder pad either [00:08:02] Speaker 3: exactly that yeah so animal and hawk shoulder pads are different there are a lot of little touches on there uh that differentiate the two so i think collect major can can take a little bow on that because uh because it really is going above and beyond i think for the figures but it's worth it to have that [00:08:21] Michael Kanik: that kind of detail in the collection what a rush boys i think it's time to show everybody a little sign of excellence throw them up for jj dylan the leader of the legendary four horsemen coming soon to [00:08:36] Matt Cardona: collectmajor.com yes finally this will be the august pre-order and you know the deal the pre-order is the order jj dylan throwing up the four you can't just have jj alone adding another member to the [00:08:55] Michael Kanik: four horsemen we have barry windham big barry windham what an honor to have him part of the team so freaking cool complete your horseman if you're a big uh big rubber guy you know fan i'm sure you got aren't i'm sure you gotta tell you i know you got an h now you can get barry and jj pretty sweet deal [00:09:15] Matt Cardona: next up coming to the big rubber guy family is the macho man randy savage so we've done the usa macho we've done macho in different mlb outfits but this is this iconic early 90s studio shot super toyetic [00:09:34] Michael Kanik: of the macho man oh yeah this is like my childhood macho if i close my eyes this is the way i picture him so i'd love that he's part of the big rubber guy line in this deco hit 100 and this gear was featured on so many merch items in the early i think that's why it lives on in fans heads for sure [00:09:55] Speaker 3: exactly big props to d on this one for finding the photos of the uh the tights though because it was not easy thank you very much the freedom they're as close to accurate as you're going to get with [00:10:07] Matt Cardona: this figure this might be my favorite big rubber guy we've ever done not this next time we're going [00:10:13] Michael Kanik: to talk about broski what's the next one your arch nemesis the indie god shot see bloody variant j and j exclusive big rubber guy coming soon that rules this was a big hit uh early in the year for us people got this shot see and they couldn't believe it i do think this figure really is like one that will stand the test of time when when shot see came it's like we all upped our game here at major you know what i mean the detail and the things we were able to do with this shot see figure really you know brought us to another level so let's celebrate that with a j and j exclusive here yeah removable helmet covered in [00:10:50] Matt Cardona: blood um i'm just gonna pretend that i beat her up in a death match and that's why she's all bloody [00:10:56] Speaker 3: keep dreaming pal i love with these two same as the previous shot see that we've been able to get a jacket that her husband's designed onto the figure because i think that's just that's just really cool [00:11:07] Matt Cardona: looks great and that that was another part too is like you know we designed the jacket and then her husband jesus like no it's the wrong color it's it's silver not white coming soon to collect major dot com some tag teams b brian blair jumping jim bronzel the killer bees so you know big rubber guys it's uh it's a love letter to the old school ljns and sometimes you gotta upgrade them and we got them upgraded with their entrance jackets and these look incredible and these will be much more affordable [00:11:42] Michael Kanik: than trying to get the 1987 versions of these for sure and like we said we didn't want to just make replicas these are up updates and fun you know additions to them next up coming to big rubber guys [00:11:55] Matt Cardona: we have the barbarian oh man so we did powers of pain warlord and

[00:12:40] Michael Kanik: lot of the old school crockett nwa collectors have been begging for this so super pumped to finally get it done for you guys it's been a big request a big rubber guy collectors so tdd can you quickly explain [00:12:51] Matt Cardona: the process of you drawing it then getting it sent to baity for the sculpt i certainly can now this one i [00:12:58] Speaker 3: didn't so this is one of our artists yeah so we've it's so good i thought it was you thanks bro but we've got a great team of artists now i don't know if they want to be named but we've got a team of artists that are working on this as well as additional sculptors now but it is effectively still quite a small and tight-knit operation in that whether it's me or one of the other artists will will do a sketch we'll drop it into the into a chat with myself matt brian and and canic we'll decide whether or not we want to make any changes if we need to show the licensor the talent anything that might need to happen at that stage and then it's just moving on to the color firing it straight over to uh to baity the sculptor or whoever's working on it he'll fire it back in d will drop in d freedom will drop in with some feedback usually on tweaks to the face to make it slightly more accurate around the likeness if we need to he works he really does yeah it really is just a team of passionate people that care about the products um working together in quite a small independent environment and and but really quick turnarounds like everyone wants to see everyone else succeed at their step everyone wants to put out the best product possible so it's within our interest to all work together and turn things around as as [00:14:16] Matt Cardona: quickly as possible that's what it is i have to say we have the absolute dream team um and it just makes making awesome figures so much fun and uh one of my favorite wrestlers of all time coming back to big rubber guys he's been here before but

elite we're continuing that success series one is getting in collectors hands as we speak and they're going nuts about them so let's take a look at some of our upcoming aew products first off orange cassidy was available earlier this year a little homage there with the hands and the pockets we had to make him ravishing if you know you know this bad boy the stinger usa sting sold out almost

how about a super toyetic wrestler and kenny omega and his captain america inspired gear take a look at kenny omega coming soon also the former aew world heavyweight champion look at darby allen ready for a little coffin drop action right there so detailed so today is it difficult to get all these darby allen deco hits on a big rubber guy [00:19:09] Speaker 3: like this i can't take any credit for this we've got uh another fantastic designer that that worked on this but in general yeah so you have to design everything up front and then there will be another phase so as soon as the sculpting's finished on this we'll need to go back to everything that's going to be printed via tampo so all the tattoos all the face paint and then reshape that shorts are going to be all kinds of deco hits there 100 so that the the patterns there for the shorts but once it's molded we'll need to refit that onto the mold as well so a lot goes into making sure that the the factory prints this as close [00:19:49] Michael Kanik: to accurately as we can get it well and this next one is an honor to have for me i don't know about you guys my rib on the wrestling business mjf here he is with the big gold

excited about i had to send i sent tdd a picture of what i wanted to look like me in my gym post yes that's how that's how much teamwork went into getting this done yeah perfect and i might be even

[00:22:32] Matt Cardona: old very big box i cannot wait it's gonna be a giant big rubber guy yeah a lot of licenses uh [00:22:42] Michael Kanik: to talk about here guys new stuff here flash gordon big rubber guy coming soon as a first look here [00:22:48] Matt Cardona: based off the iconic cartoon looks and these are in production so these are coming very very soon right connect yep i would say within the next four months all right looks great add that to your big rubber guy [00:23:05] Michael Kanik: collection we also added to your flash gordon collection i would say that or how about the phantom also based off the iconic cartoon coming up on the 100th anniversary this will be in stock wow unbelievable this year is the 90th anniversary the 90th anniversary sorry but that's unbelievable the phantom uh looks incredible two pistols there as an accessory as you can see i love the color purple i'll be getting that it's going to be a fun one another brand new license to announce popeye pop by the sailor man coming to big rubber guys making it old school we got popeye himself now these are pending license and approval of course and how could you play with a popeye without this guy bludo that's gonna be a big big rubber guy as well biggest big rubber guy of all time [00:23:59] Speaker 3: it's definitely gonna be the widest it's gonna fill that bubble for sure so tdd do you find it harder [00:24:07] Matt Cardona: to design like humans like real humans or like you know fantasy cartoon characters um it varies to be [00:24:16] Speaker 3: honest now again this is just uh one that i've just done the creative direction on so it's uh it's a new artist who's worked on this who's fantastic um but it really varies because i think one thing with big rubber guys is we're not talking about regular human scale so for any of the humans all of the proportions are stylized slightly then add into that that they're posed figures so if you've got an arm up here and an arm down here you've got to make sure that they're the same length and all of that good stuff when it comes to designing anyone who isn't a human the challenge is making it look like the property but also like it could fit in with the wrestlers because we want popeye to be able to have a match with macho man if you're playing with these if you're running a fig fed right we don't want it to look like completely different lines but it does still have to look like the property we want it to the licensor wants it to the fans want it too so yeah it's absolutely a challenge but where everything's slightly stylized we kind of blend it all together in a way that i think works for the licenses that we've got so far and the ones that you're still to see the team is going to take whatever precaution that [00:25:22] Michael Kanik: may be to to get as close as we can you know to accomplishing that goal for sure 100 we're all [00:25:30] Speaker 3: fans of every license that we've got so whether it's wrestling whether it's these licenses whether it's the other ones you're going to see there's someone who's a fan of it and we absolutely want to get everything 100 perfect uh for you guys for the fans yeah and if you're playing with it thirsty [00:25:46] Michael Kanik: anybody i was about to say we've been talking for a while anybody thirsty this could be a celebrity in [00:25:51] Matt Cardona: your wrestling figure fed check it out it's the kool-aid man and oh my god right along with everything [00:25:59] Michael Kanik: that ttd was just saying you know this is going to be massive yeah it'll be massive but i'm so excited [00:26:04] Matt Cardona: for it you can have a team or wrestle the macho man's oh yeah verse oh yeah yeah now this if the [00:26:12] Speaker 3: if the blue was the widest this is going to be wide but this is probably going to be the deepest one right this is going to be a big bubble huge bubble and uh and kool-aid is the one that's uh 100 year [00:26:23] Michael Kanik: anniversary next year somebody's 100 year anniversary there we go yeah so 2027 it's the 100 year [00:26:31] Speaker 3: anniversary and that is when this figure will land that's crazy fantastic perfect timing by the major [00:26:36] Matt Cardona: crew so iconic if you were an 80s 90s kid you grew up on these commercials so so cool to add this to the the big rubber guy family as well as this next one to kind of complete or add to our kickboxer line check this out tongue po we've made the current loans before go get him on collectmajor.com right now but now you got tongue po man this guy could come into your figure fed and beat up top guy taking over he's a top guy looks awesome this one very excited to announce is this music is this wrestling well it is both the insane clown posse hopefully all those juggalos are scratching that figure itch check this out we got the icp violent j these figures are based off their iconic wrestling run from the late 90s we got violent j and shaggy too dope the insane clown posse uh icp very hands-on with designing these figures which i love you know some guys love to be involved and they certainly were i cannot wait to add these to my collection [00:27:57] Michael Kanik: next up just a epic announcement here from big rubber guys ozzy osborne licensing deal acquired and we are all going to start it out by barking at the moon check them out oh my god legendary ozzy osborne on board we are all so excited to finally share this news with you and these figures eventually so wow let's kick it [00:28:21] Speaker 3: off baby ttd let's spill your guts well it's just i mean this is a huge everything that we do is an honor right and we're very fortunate in that we look to tap into nostalgia and brands that we grew up loving so we're effectively always designing talent that we love and that we grew up watching and grew up listening to in this case but for me especially i guess for being from the uk when i was sitting there designing this it was really a pinch me holy shit i'm designing an ozzy osborne figure you know which is just wild and it's uh it's a testament to how far the the company has come that we can pick up licenses like this and amazing guys roll with it yeah super super excited for this and what it means for the direction we're [00:29:09] Matt Cardona: going in going forward it's awesome yeah it's crazy that we started this company making a major bendy of smart mark sterling now we're doing a big rubber guy of osborne big leap big leap [00:29:20] Speaker 3: big leap ttd what can you tell us about iron maiden wow um to get this one is is a dream for me aside from being the pioneers of metal music as we know and i and i'm a huge maiden and a huge music fan uh the big thing for iron maiden is the art that goes along with it so every album cover um right from the beginning from the from the first album iron maiden uh illustrated by the incredible uh derek riggs has the uh has the mascot eddie featured and there's so many different iterations of eddie from the album covers the single covers from tour posters and the fact that we've got iron maiden and we've got this eddie here that you can see which is based on the cover of the killers uh album is just phenomenal to me because if it looks if this goes over well and the fans like this then there's a lot of potential in in what we can do with this license and for me personally as a fan i'd want to design every single iteration of eddie that i possibly could so iron maiden fans get behind this and buy it and we will make the it looks so freaking cool great [00:30:33] Matt Cardona: job and we don't have any artwork yet because we just signed the deal but we wanted to let you know motley crew coming to big rubber guys girls girls girls again just just so cool like you said there's [00:30:50] Michael Kanik: a lot of these are just pinch me ones that like how like you said not the rag on them but we're making smart smart mark sterling toys how could you ever even envision stuff like this so yeah come a long way as a team man it's very cool and uh this is pinch me stuff for me coming up next year the major league
