Independent wrestler Nick Gage made his AEW debut back in March when he wrestled Chris Jericho’s hardcore persona, The Painmaker. It would be a no disqualification match and received mainstream attention due to the extreme violence rarely seen on television, with a pizza cutter used as a weapon. Thanks to that appearance, and an episode of Dark Side of the Ring that covered his incarceration for bank robbery after becoming addicted to oxycontin, he is undoubtedly at his most famous. Now proving he has really made it in the world of pro wrestling, he is set to become an action figure.
Zombie Sailor Toys recently announced that they are releasing the ultraviolent competitor’s first-ever figure and have now shared the design blueprint. The figure features Gage wearing his H8 Club shirt and MDK shorts and will even be coming with a pizza cutter accessory!
For those unaware, Zombie Sailor is a toy collector that regularly appears on Matt Cardona’s action figure podcast and is featured on Netflix’s “The Toys That Made Us.” He has since begun creating a line of fully licensed wrestling figures in the style of WWF Hasbro figures from the 90s and is working with Ron Rudat, who designed the initial toys to ensure they stay true to the originals.
So far, the line, which is titled “Heels and Faces,” has seen figures of Sabu, Dino Bravo, referee Earl Hebner, and Jeff Jarrett produced. While they have all sold out, several other wrestlers have since signed on, and a figure of Cardona in the deathmatch ring gear he wore against Gage is even being worked on. This means Game Changer Wrestling fans will soon be able to recreate the brutal match between the pair in the safety of their own living room.
