KWK BRAND STATEMENT REGARDING PG-13 ACTION FIGURES

KWK BRAND STATEMENT REGARDING PG-13 ACTION FIGURES

KWK Brand would like to address the recent public comments regarding the planned PG-13 Kayfabe Heroes figures featuring JC Ice and Wolfie D.

After speaking directly with Wolfie D., we have agreed that the PG-13 project cannot move forward under the current circumstances.

The project was developed as a partnership, with an agreement that the talent involved would support and promote the product. Recent public comments have breached that understanding and created a serious breakdown in the professional relationship.

More seriously, comments directed toward KWK Brand, our team and our manufacturing partners included racist and discriminatory remarks. We will not accept or tolerate this conduct toward the people who work with us or help produce our products.

We understand that talent may dislike a prototype, render or finished product. Constructive criticism is completely acceptable. Publicly attacking the company, its people and its partners while failing to provide the promotional support agreed upon is something entirely different.

We also want to make one thing very clear:

This is not about Wolfie D.

Wolfie has been 200% supportive of this project from day one. He has been professional, enthusiastic and respectful throughout the entire process, and we greatly appreciate our relationship with him.

At this point, the PG-13 project will be dropped unless Jamie Dundee makes a genuine public apology and takes responsibility for his recent comments and actions.

Because the comments were made publicly, we believe any resolution must also be public.

If that apology does not happen, KWK Brand will end the PG-13 project and request the return of the funds previously paid to both parties in connection with the project.

We are not interested in a public back-and-forth. Professional relationships require mutual respect, accountability and good faith.

We sincerely appreciate everyone who supported PG-13 and apologize to the collectors who were looking forward to these figures.
