I like the idea of these a lot. I first discovered them because of the mold or remold of the AWA heads. They're actually the three rarest of the AWA line, Nord, Adnan, and Zhukov, so I even mentioned it in my blog.
A guy who is apparently the owner of the company that makes these sets up at a toy show that I attend. I noted that I had mentioned his line in my blog because of the AWA heads, and he blew it off. Twice. Not even a "hey, thanks." I didn't do it for a "thanks." I did it to inform wrestling collectors of something interesting. But even my friend who was with me during the second encounter noted how he totally ignored when I brought it up.
So, yeah, I hope someone else comes along and does something more of what you guys seem to want out of these. ;-)

Hello jwswrestlingmen, What toy show did you see us at? We appreciate that you mentioned the line in your blog. Sometimes toy shows can be overwhelming and lots of things are going on. Please understand that it was never intentional. I understand your frustration, as I have had this happen to me personally and do not like the feeling, so please consider this a public apology. Moving forward with Realm Of the Underworld. We appreciate all the kind comments about the toy line. There are lots of things in the works including new beasts and sub lines. The next line we are set to release is our "FlexZors" featuring our newest bendable body style. The line will have a future property called "Legends Of Darkness" featuring Zoloworld's depictions of monster characters such as Dracula, The Mummy, Wolfman and many more. This is slated for 2015. Since I do not see any pictures here, we want to show you a glimpse of what is coming: FlexZor (prototype body) The Cyclops GRYM The Executioner (Stygian Barbarian)

Big & little Cyclops & the executioner figures are awesome.
Any plans to make figure steeds? I would buy every single one.

Yes on the steeds for sure. Our concept is a solid design horse that would allow for Archfiend minions to ride. The horse will have a bone pattern design with chains for reigns along with a bone saddle.

That sounds awesome. Horse steeds are usually boring but the sound of this is great. Please consider making creature steeds as well.

We are a family of collectors. I have been personally collecting this style of toys for over 30 years. The idea is to give everyone a shot at getting these awesome figures, but make them more interesting while keeping the retro vibe. It is difficult because a great deal of the material of yesteryear is harder to reproduce. One thing to note is that W3 GRYM and the Cyclops will have Minion rings like this one shown below:

So the big green cyclops is not getting made? Also, steeds are the one thing I was hoping for eventually...can't wait to see how they look.

The big Cyclops will be something we will do if the budget allows for it. Our focus is to produce everything you see, but since our costs are extremely high to produce these, we have to make sure there is enough fan support for them. BTW, on the next order you place, please contact sales@zoiloworld.com and let us know about that Preytus error and I will make sure you are taken care of for that mix up.

Thanks for the kind words! There will be an alternate head with Grym. All heads are interchangeable on the figures as well so there is always a possibility to see it down the road. The battle accessory pack is going to contain some surprises. One thing to note is that Ulysseus and Hercules in W3 will have translucent weapons.

Heh, I only just clued-on to where that Hercules sword design comes from. Had to mention that, cos though it's a 90's design I totally use it for my MOTU KOs as well. Nice to see the sword 'made official' for this line. Makes it feel more canon for me to use it now.

Hercules sword is goliaths sword from gargoyles. And skeleton sword from king Arthur and the knights of justice.

On the topic of King Arthur, if you guys ever did an unofficial release of some of the characters from the show I would die a happy man. I loved that show as a kid, and I was always bummed we got such a short toy line. Just something to think about!

Proposed figure for a future wave. This is not the final figure. These would be boxed exclusives for either an affiliate or sold in house through Zoloworld.

When you say exclusive does that mean only people that have more money then God or personally know you will be the only ones who get these? That's the fastest nail in the coffin for any line I feel when companies make exclusives normal people can't get, Comic-Con figures come to mind. If you mean what you say about being a collector for 30 years then you should understand how frustrating it was to never find that one elusive He-Man figure when you were a kid. Hopefully your here for the collector and not the dollar. I understand you need to turn a profit to but don't turn your back on the people that made you.

Actually I think they are trying to avoid the unintentional difficulty collectors had finding the last run of variants. A retailer exclusive should make a variant more accessible, not less. I see it as a risk designed to help fans. If it turns out to be an affiliate exclusive, I would suggest Zoloworld works with them to be able to take preorders the way you can through the ROTU site.

Our intention is to get every fan these figures at a cost effective price point. We are creating this series as fans for fans and that is the stand we made when we started the line. There will be convention exclusive figures, but still, these figures will be able to be attained. We will be increasing our convention appearances as well as have more vendors and affiliates sell our series.
The slime figures will be a pre-order item on our official website underworldfigures. These will be going up very soon for pre-order, as we are getting ready to show the translucent samples of them and start a limited production. They will be ULTRA limited, but we have noticed that the pre-order allows everyone that wants them to get them. NOTE: we are planning on having a convention exclusive slime figure as well. It will not be impossible to get.
The slime figures will be window boxed with new artwork. Each translucent (with minor paint apps) figure will come with a sealed bag of slime with variant slime colors. Our price point will be under $25.00 like our standard line; with incentives on pre-order. It is difficult to produce a limited run of figures and maintain a price like this, but we do so for the fans.
The idea for retailer exclusive figures is to allow our exclusive vendors the opportunity to have a figure that you cannot buy on the website. Again, this is not going to be impossible to get as out retailers are listed on our website as well. We have increased the amount of exclusive figures the retailers will have.
We are still working out details of this series and figures, but can assure everyone that we don't intend to leave anyone out that is wanting this series. Again, they are limited runs of figures and if you pre-order, you will get them. Hope this was able to answer your questions.

New from the Realm Of The Underworld collection!
The Aura from the Underworld animates the dead and transforms wanderers into Archfiend Minions. Many heroes ventured to the dark land and never returned! Legend has it that these warriors were captured and taken to the Stygian Swamps where they were tortured by Hades in the worst ways imaginable. These swamps contain an evil so powerful, it consumes and drives a mind into insanity. This illness transforms the hero into a drone to serve their dark leader for all of eternity.
Introducing Wave 2.5 Realm Of The Underworld Slimed Drones!
New Figures Include: Krystal Kry-Sis Toxic Terror Hercules Sinister Sludge Archfiend Grooze-Sum Gorehound (Transforming Archfiend) Death Bile Acromancer (EXCLUSIVE)
Proto pics are coming!
