Has Magic or Jeremy commented on the availability of making figures of talent that is working in AEW but are billed from another company?
I would love a good brothers, I don't care for Super 7s and I preordered NJPW Series 1 and am pretty disappointed with the delay.
Good Brothers
Thunder Rosa
Don Callis
Serena Deeb
Due to all of them being featured as main talent on Dynamite it would be awesome to see them in unrivaled/unmatched. It would be awesome if they continue the working relationship and we get a MCMG, Moose, etc., NWA - Eli Drake and Nick Aldis.

Isn't Serena Deeb under an AEW contract but just happened to win the NWA title?
Jeremy has said nothing but I don't think it is likely at the moment. Maybe later on, but right now they have an entire AEW roster to go through first.

Maybe later on, but right now they have an entire AEW roster to go through first. With a line every month they are going to run out of talent quick, but you're right a lot of talent is needed first. If they do two packs as well, a lot of space is available. |

I'm just hoping Babara Goodish feels up to signing with Jeremy again because she recently signed off on an independent company to make a Hasbro styled Brody figure, I'm more than happy to send money to her regardless of getting a figure, but an Unrivaled Style Bruiser Brody would be rather amazing and a contender for best overall toy depiction of a wrestler in history.
As for people pertaining to NWA and impact, Nick Aldis might sell well among collectors if it included the NWA world title. I feel like people enjoy his work and his matches with Cody for the title were among the best of the decade.
As for Impact, Tommy Dreamer is the only person I would consider buying. And that's a stretch since he has elected to be such a parody of his former self in recent years.

I would love a Matt Cardona figure that doesn’t cost $50 retail before the flippers get a hold of them

I'd love a Moose figure in the Unrivaled style, but I won't hold my breath.

Maybe a parallel line that doesn't cannibalize the AEW sales too much.
Like an 'Icons of Wrestling' where you could drop in something like a Nick Aldis with a licensed NWA Title or a Rey Fenix with a AAA Mega Championship every so often for example.

Unrivalled Collection Suicide. Oh I can see it, but I can't feel it.  |

It's possible that some Impact talent could get figures as legends/luminaries. I'm thinking MCMG, Shamrock (if not signed to a Legends deal), Dreamer, etc.
But including Impact, NWA, or NJPW line as such is pretty close to zero chance. Lots of complexities from a licensing perspective, there's a visibility/name recognition issue, and this is a pretty new line that is jut getting settled in at retail. They have plenty to chew on between the AEW roster and legends Jeremy has signed.

I haven’t heard or seen any comments about it, but I would assume if AEW can get merch licensing for them, they can do it. I’m guessing for the most part, people in Impact and NWA own their likeness rights. I feel like they probably (for the most part) get paid less than in WWE, but the trade off is they get deals where they can pursue outside ventures as well.
Regarding Super 7, I didn’t preorder the NJPW figures so I’m not familiar with the updates. Have there been delays, or is it just a long production period? Those are two very different things, but I believe Super 7 has had both with various brands.

Jazwares should work on AEW contracted talent first and they still have a long way to go on that.

I made a post about this in the other brands section. I'm really digging Impact and want some of those figures, especially the women's division. Havok <3 <3 <3 Neveah Kimber Lee Jordynne Grace Susan etcetc And I'm trying to decide if I'm going to spend 90  ing dollars on the Good Brothers. |

I'm guessing the Super 7 Good Brothers is gonna interfere with any plans there.

Andre the Giant's estate never signs exclusive deals that's why super7 and WWE can both make him Gallows just had a Micro Brawler come out, so it's unlikely Super 7's deal is exclusive. Still not something I think is likely. But I'd love to be wrong. A multi-promotional figure line (or even wave) would be a literal dream come true for 10 year old me. |

Why do you think Jazwares could pull off Impact figures whereas Jakks couldn't?
