I'd have preferred a bat to a crow, or the crow to be on his left arm (like it was in that segment), but cool nonetheless. It wasn't even a crow in that segment, it was a vulture.

They've been at this quite a while now, and Ryan has said that some wrestlers are either unavailable due to other contracts or have declined to be made. I wish they'd bring back the TNA/Impact line. The well is running dry on legends and the AEW choices have been hit or miss.
Last year I spoke with Steve "Mongo" McMichael's sister about the possibility of getting a Brawler of him made to help with some of his medical costs. She was game and thought it would be a great idea. I DM'd PWT on X (Twitter) about getting the Chicago Bear and former Horsemen added to the line.
They blocked me.
I really do love the Brawlers but PWT is quite the crap company.

Holy crap. You were serious. I thought this was a joke post. I guess theyve really run out of ideas… It really blows my mind Very on brand for this one.

I understand the point you're making, but saying the way Crate Brawlers are chosen can't be changed because that's how it's been is tantamount to saying they should keep making the same mistake. To use the examples that the original post used, it's insane that we've been able to get half-devil gimmick Adam Cole and -1 in open preorder, but people like Claudio have been locked behind the Crate paywall. I welcome moving away from that to a system where Crate Brawlers are either niche or different versions of previously released characters. Ricky Starks should have had a a Brawler like 2 years ago, and when he hopefully gets one soon it should be an open preorder, not locked in a crate. I like how you say "locked" behind a crate like you can't get it off of eBay easily. What is the difference between a set amount of crate orders versus a set amount of stand-alone preorders? Once the preorder window is up, those brawlers are "locked" too. The All Elite crate brawlers are plentiful on the secondary market and I have never once heard of a complaint that Jungle Boy was in the crate instead of on his own. The first wave of AEW brawlers are way more rare than anything from the crates and those were stand alone preorders. I don't know why we even got this new Adam Cole brawler (one of my least favorite ever made), but that doesn't mean we should change the crate system. If I am subscribing to the crate, then I want my monies worth. I want good options. Not throwaway options and definitely not different versions of existing characters (unless it is a complete gimmick change). If anything the Crate Brawlers are more accessible on Ebay as people dump ones they don't want. The preorders by their very nature are ones people either specifically want to buy or want to try and flip for a higher price.

Would that they could get the rights to make a Four Pillars set.

All the eyes have been molded thus far, even closed ones like Naito. The only painted eyes have been those with color around the eyes, like most of the women and Hayabusa.

To my knowledge that's the first chase to feature different molding -- one eye closed in this instance.

The shine is definitely something unique on the hasbro figures. I still have mine as a kid which have gone through each of my 3 kids hands too at different points and still all in one piece. They’re bricks of toys! Literally only the punch ones (el matador etc) have broken actions. There’s so much about those figures past nostalgia factor which makes em great. There’s intangibles that no company - probably even hasbro themselves can’t replicate. Motu for instance was an iconic form factor but was also easily replicated. Ditto the Joe or Kenner Star Wars.. Hasbros just hit something special. I agree with the sentiment that they’re bricks EXCEPT Rockers Shawn Michaels. I’ve owned two in my life and the left arm broke on both. And any splayed fingers.

How mini is mini? Curious to see one next to the standard line. Here’s all three. Lame I got Sting, with all those other options. That’s my luck lol. Thanks for the shot. Micro Nesting Brawlers.

Raven looks cool. @Chair.Shot -- I'd be interested in what youthink about the arm length Not who you asked, but even the original Hasbros had gorilla-like arms. Raven's just seem a tad more noticeable because they're outstretched fully whereas the static arms for most Hasbro originals had a bend to them.

That’s a very nice looking KOTR ring. Zoomed in looks to be original and not custom? Yup, all original. Gift from the parents back in 96. I was ADAMANT my dad knot the ropes so they’re “hidden” inside the near right turnbuckle. Tried my best to keep it in good condition after my playing years were over.

Looks like both red and blue are darker shades on the chase.

I received shipping notice earlier this morning from ZST for S2. Can I ask your order number? Still heard nothing on mine.
