Oh...
OH NO...
I... I want these.
Crap. I want these.
The more I see of AEW, the more I have a burning need for several of these figures.
Brandi and Jericho are surefire buys from series 1
I fear I will be buying every single Hangman figure they make. Good lord that man is attractive. Although, when I get one, I'm going to have to find a glass of beer for him to hold. Do they make 1/12 scale red solo cups?? LOL.
I'm really trying to say no to the Kenny Omega figure, but I fear he will be happening soon as well.
If/when Jurassic Express happens, I'm gonna need all three of them as well.
CRAP. I'm too poor for this line.

I'm not particularly partial to the Bubbly Jericho though, so I'm hoping I can score something similar elsewhere. Maybe from a miniatures site.

Yeah, of the three Jerichos, I think the basic version is by far the best. The Bubbly set is creative and it's cool to get a "set" rather than the single figures Mattel has done for RSC. But the jacket with the standard version is just amazing. I'll wait and get the belt with someone else down the road. If you're feeling really ambitious, it probably wouldn't be too tough to make a solo cup from sculpting clay.

mydamntoys on IG posted side by side shots of Elites and AEW today. I'm sorry but they still look awful. Thankfully I live with someone who is a master at blushing so I'm set. But they are terribly pink and plastic compared to Mattel. Reminds me of old Toy Biz WCW.
EDIT: Looks like MDT reposted from gunshow_toys on IG. That guy always has figures first (he's in Hong Kong I think).

They look fine, they're a little pale but other than that they turned out great. The skintone issue has been fixed for series 2 onward.

I think they look pretty great. Different lines are going to have different skin tones, and they already said this is something they're gonna fix. Put Hasbros next to your Mattels and the skin tone is totally different. Same if you took Galoobs and put them next to Jakks.

Just the fact that they're "going to fix it" means someting isn't good enough. I want good enough. Again, look at WCW Toy Biz from back in they day. Cheap. Don't get me wrong, the head scans are great, the rubber and paint is great. Just that almost translucent, pale pink plastic look is not my cup of tea.

You can almost certainly find something like this from some sort of a mini's site, or etsy. (Etsy would probably have a really cheap version somewhere). That's exactly where I'm heading to find some alcohol's for Hangman. I know sets from the extreme (seriously, that's spam?!) has a set of beer mugs and some scotch glasses, but I'm betting I can find something cheaper on etsy that still looks pretty good.

I love those ToyBiz figs lol

Don't get me wrong, the head scans are great, the rubber and paint is great. Just that almost translucent, pale pink plastic look is not my cup of tea. Issues like this are kinda what happens when you can't actually physically go to the factory to make sure everything is correct. It's not like Mattel where they have a long history with the factories they work with, this was literally the first line of figures like this WCT had done with that factory and you kind of have no control over things if you can't physically go over and correct them before things go into final production. Also, the WCW Toybiz figures were great and arguably the first 'modern' wrestling figures we got due to the commitment to having better articulation and detail than the WWF figures at the time. Jakks only pulled away from Toybiz once the WCW line ended and Jakks got deep into the Real Scan era. The AEW line has better scans (ironically due to using the same scanning company Jakks used to pioneer having real scan wrestling figures) and better articulation than all but one line of Mattel WWE figures and it's $10 cheaper than that line.

If you have a michael's store near you they have a whole isle of miniature stuff for doll house projects that work great with wrestling figures, I even think they do have red solo cups

Honestly it's really only Kenny's skin tone that looks off. Way too pale.

Truthfully, I think those Instagram photos look fine(?). The skin tone on Cody is the only one that’s bugging me.
Anway, the commercial that aired tonight put a hard August 3 Walmart street date on these.

Is Ringside going to have them before Walmart gets them?

You're never going to please everybody. The figures look great. Kenny is a bit pale, but he's going to have plenty of figures and they said it will be corrected. I'm more bothered by the purple being too dark on his gear than anything.

Hopefully we see a few more colourful bucks attire and obviously we will get Cody with his neck tattoo

I saw the “leaked lineups” for 3-7. Not posting them here since I don’t think they‘re legit. Regardless, it has me hyped for likely announcements this week!
