AEW Figs

Who make Marvel Legends Hasbro ? , Anyways it should be who ever make legends good chance they will be in scale with WWE if that’s the case.

If so hopefully they won’t recycle RA bodies 😂 I’m tired of “other companies” using the old style bodies.

I’d like to see a company that creates figures compatible with WWE figures. We’ve never really seen competing company figures that can fit with each other at the same time. OSFTC’s WCW figures were close to LJNs but not around the same time. Toybiz’s WCW and Jakks’s WWE were about the same height but WCW’s were more exaggerated.

It’d be nice to see an AEW line that would be able to fit in with WWE figures without looking too silly.

I’d love to see them go with Hasbro, and rival the retro line. the Bucks did the LJN style, so they must be a couple of nostalgic fellas.

If this does happen, I imagine I’ll start to re-collect.

When WWE switched over to Mattel in January of 2010, Mattel's first few sets were largely based on wrestlers/attires from the latter-half of 2008. For example, Jeff's pulled Elite 1 figure (now the Entrance Greats one) was from a match he had with Big Show on Smackdown in '08. They had to prepare an entire line and make entirely new parts, so the design process lagged behind for awhile as they got things rolling. That's probably why we used to get those Basic PPV sets for the first year or two in order to put out product that felt more modern in juxtaposition with them playing catch up for awhile.

I would suspect that something similar might be true for AEW. If they land a toy merchandising deal later this year or early next year, it would very likely be based on the things happening in the first few months of the show on TNT. So in other words, I hope everyone brings their A-game with attires! I really liked Kenny Omega's look from last night.

Just buy a Dean Ambrose and rename him Jon Moxely lmao!

I know Cody is a fan of Super 7, He's has complemented them on twitter in the past. Could be an option.

I'm definetly not interested in a super stylised approach or limited articulation glorified statues.

They have to go big or go home, imo. The traditional 6" fully articulated action figure line is the only way I'd be on board. Even TNA was able to do that, so I don't see why a company with the money of the Khan family and a cable network on par if not bigger than what WWE airs on couldn't.

Hasbro would be the biggest option, comparable to WWE/Mattel...so that would probably be ideal. I'm not sure when they'd actually get product on store shelves, consdering they're a different beast than TNA was/is. AEW has been able to announce a deal with a top tier network within a few months of the company's official exsistence. I wouldn't put it past them to do the same with a toy deal within a year. Didn't it take TNA 3 years after they started to put out their Toy Biz/Marvel line? I think we could see AEW action figures available for purchase much sooner than you think.

Super7 doesn't seem like the right fit to me. Unless they're going to make wrestling figures in the vintage He-man style, which would be super weird, but I'm sure I would absolutely love them haha. My fear with S7 would be getting ReAction figures from them instead of a 5-7" scaled line. They're doing the MLB ReAction figures and they showed off the Lucha ReAction figures, as well. Those ReAction figures are fine in a Funko Mini kind of way, but not as a legitimate figure line.

I don't think Jakks is that far fetched. I'm sure they're going to approach AEW, or have already. Maybe they're ready to move into 2019 with their figure design. Maybe Bandai could take a shot at it since they lost Power Rangers. I'd largely prefer for AEW to pull a 2005 TNA and give us something like the Marvel/Toybiz line that feels new and exciting. The RA scale needs to go away. It's great FTC is making figures for a lot of guys who could never get one, but they're very over priced, most of them miss the mark, and that scale is 15 years outdated.

I agree that I think we're going to see figures sooner than most expect. The Bucks have always been aggressive with merchandising, and the TV deal sounds like it was finalized months before the actual announcement was made. It's not crazy to think the figure and video game talks have already started. Cody has guys like Zack Ryder and Marty the Villain who he can consult with these types of discussions, and I think they'll get us something good.
