Easy question with AEW coming it's inevitable that it'll have a toy line. Now I know the Young Bucks posted about LJN but realistically it only caters to some of the market. I personally would like to Has to pick up the line I think they could give Mattel a run for there money as the work they do on Marvel and Star Wars black series figures are just as good of quality as elites and the same price point. What do you think?

There are not really many left. Hasbro or Jakks. I somehow believe Hasbro is no option. Would they be interested in doing Wrestling figures they would haven done them before. There were enough possibilities with TNA and ROH. This makes Jakks the only logical possibility. This being said, I would love to see Neca taking over a Wrestling related license.

NECA would be great to see what they do but I doubt it happens. Logical one is funko since the bucks already have a relationship with them. If omega goes there him, jericho, pac, cody, and the bucks would probably out sell most current wwe waves.

Hasbro is likely the next big company to get a major wrestling line. The problem is AEW isnt a major wrestling company.

I hope they are affordable & comparable to the current elites. It would be cool if Figuarts did them, but they would be way too expensive. I'm thinking Hasbro maybe, hopefully not Jakks.

Plus they only do what Randy likes it seems and Randy only has a hard on for horror now days. Maybe a decent one would be DST (Diamond Select Toys)

If they went with Hasbro, would there be any issues with making the old style hasbros, what with the retros on the shelves (sometimes) from Mattel?
It would mean they could release figures of Cody, Bucks etc but also guys that are not under WWE legends deals that wouldn’t get retro figures by Mattel.
In my opinion, Cody and the Bucks seem like some retro-loving dudes. Bucks are doing the LJNs of themselves, Cody said No Mercy is the best wrestling game ever (he’s right, and imagine if they used that engine for an AEW game). I could see them rivalling the retros with some old Hasbro style figures.

Walmart, Target, Kmart, eBay, Amazon. etc. undersell RSC a lot of the time. We are mostly allowed to discuss them (eBay being the gray area). RSC sells things that the super store of Wrestling doesn’t sell and the super store of Wrestling sells things RSC doesn’t sell. It is petty and a crybaby way of dealing with something that people were interested in. Those are stores selling different things, not direct competitors. Ebay is off-limits when discussing active auctions, not gray area. You’re ignoring my points. Ongoing auctions are discussed here but not linked. Have been for years. Either some are oblivious to it or a blind eye is turned.

Hasbro is likely the next big company to get a major wrestling line. The problem is AEW isnt a major wrestling company. In case you hadn’t heard, they will be very soon. The owners are multi billionaires. People that rich don’t make small investments. You don’t amass a fortune like that just to start an Indy fed.

Honestly as long as they get a line I'll be happy. Hasbro would be nice but I would love it even more if they made a deal with Storm Collectibles.

Look what happened to TNA A rich dad gave their kid money to start a company. A mediocre star, who’s father was a famous booker was giving a lot of control. Until they have weekly shows and an actual tv deal, they’re not a major wrestling company.
