Former WWE wrestlers Matt Cardona and Brian Myers have built an action figure company with their friends and fans.
It would be an understatement to say the collectibles space is crowded.
The show first debuted in 2018 as a way to celebrate their love of collecting wrestling toys.
Who’s going to be buying collectibles?'
It turns out the whole world was," he told GameSpot.
However, both men also found themselves released from WWE at a time when the world was largely closed.
That’s where Michael Kanik enters the picture.
And he kind of pushed enough that we called his bluff," Myers said.
With that, Major Bendies was born.
“I think it was like a low-risk, high-reward situation.
We knew people enjoy these kind of easy-to-financially-collect toys from the ’90s,” Myers said.
Added Cardona, “It was the easiest for us to make.
That was really it.
It was the easiest thing to do.
We didn’t want to mess with articulation.”
“That was not my mindset,” he admitted.
“I thought, ‘Cool, I’ll make maybe an extra couple of dollars.
I can buy some Hot Toys.'”
There’s no machine backing them.
The machine backing them now is us, is Major Bendies.
Like Kanik, Winchombe was a podcast fan who found his niche with the group.
The newest addition is Brian Baity, the team’s new digital sculptor.
Major Stars, though, might be the thing that helps the company break through to the mainstream.
And those people don’t have to be from the wrestling industry.
“Way too many company credit cards to keep track of,” he joked.
