Having read everything I could find, my interpretation is that ZombieLab thought Boss Fight was going to just use the molds for parts in their regular fantasy line, not make their own zombie-focused toyline. They're upset because they now have competition for that market. It just seems like a miscommunication or perhaps ZombieLab was engaging in wishful thinking.

Just discovered the evil skeleton. Wonder why it was limited. 20 for the detailed paint and accessories versus the 15 blank and 25 greek warrior skeleton.

I bought 3 of them when they went live. As I recall, they sold out in about 15 minutes. |

Best I can piece together is Boss Fight bought the Zombie Molds. ZL thought they were going to lease them back to them (which they may be doing) so ZL could still make figures. ZL seems to have not understood that Boss Fight planned to make figures using the molds. ZL says Boss Fight has stolen their intellectual property - sort of you own the mold but we didn’t sell you the rights to the characters. Also one of ZL founding partners who left ZL on what seems to be not great terms is working with Boss Fight now. I may have gotten that wrong, but I just pieced it together from reading different posts.
Andy and Alex parted on not very good terms. Andy has verbally processed about it on FB over and over again in a very unprofessional way. "Never has he said Alex's name. Just pokes the bear all the time. From what I heard, he was paid a boat load for those molds. I personally was an investor in ZL and I spent a A LOT of money. Like an offensive amount. The ZL figures quality wise are garbage in comparison to BFS. I was so disappointed in them, but really tried to keep positive. I'm stoked BFS took over and created their own line. ZL is a sinking ship IMHO. At this point Andy is freaking out trying to keep his head above water on this. When, what he needs to do is quit complaining and work on making product that matches the level of quality BFS creates so that he can co-exist in the market. But that's all my opinion and hear say as to what I perceive is going down. Needless to say, I'm going to drop another gold bar on BFS product. They are really masters of this trade. |

The beef is really between Alex Wu and Andy Wong. The two were partners on ZL. BFS has their main connection to all factory production and stuff through Alex Wu, who worked at Hasbro for years.

unless ZL specifically had a signed agreement with Boss fight that they would not make zombies , then I can't see that they have a leg to stand on legally.it's not like Boss fight are using the exact story , or characters that ZL created , and quite frankly , ZL were using Boss Fight molds and Hacks system in the first place for the humans so I think that all this bluster is just sour grapes .if anything , I think that Boss Fight has a right to be pissed that ZL'S inferior product was reflecting badly on their original hacks system as this fact was heavily being used to promote the line .I see a bright future now that Boss fight are in control , better quality product both in construction materials and paint apps , not to mention packaging too .
