Maybe it’s the idea of a “shiny new object”, or more due to a weekly TV show that keeps getting better, lack of 80s/90s legends, and terrible Mattel distribution. I can’t wait for AEW figures to flood the market! I keep looking to preorder unrivalled series 2. They have hyped this line in all the right ways!

I really hope we get a Christopher Daniels and Kazarian. I wish Beer Money was in AEW too. This line has so much potential.

I feel the exact same way. My Mattel buying has slowed a lot the last 2 years with the changes in the line. I've found myself wanting to buy with nothing I cared for being released.
The idea of a new, fresh line and all the possibilities that come with it is super exciting to me.
Doesn't hurt that AEW has become must watch TV for me, and wildly exceeded my expectations.

I haven't watched wrestling on TV in over 10 years until AEW came along. Haven't missed an episode or PPV yet. Its been cool slowly getting to know each character. I will be buying every AEW figure released (except chases). Haven't bought more than about 7 mattel figures a year. Exciting to be ordering full sets for once!

Maybe this will make Mattel step up their game.

I haven't watched WWE in three or four years. I got an Elite for my favorite indy guys they've signed and I'm pretty much caught up.
AEW has been firing on all cylinders this year and I'm excited to get into an entire toy line again!

Completely agree.
I enjoy collecting Mattel but I’m not as excited about it as I used to be. It takes AGES to get new faces and I only care for a small percentage of what is released. It’s been ages since folks like Riddle, Keith Lee, The Street Profits, Viking Raiders, etc., debuted and there’s still nothing announced (I know Riddle is rumored for E78). That and half of the time it’s a weird one-off attire rather than what they’re known for, or their entrance attire is stiff as a board or not included. My excitement often dies down by the time they’re released. Just had to vent!
I’m not saying this won’t apply to AEW’s line, but I’m excited for all the new faces. The figures look great. The attires and head scans look great. It doesn’t feel like they’re missing any key accessories. So far I’m incredibly excited to see where the line goes.
I think it also goes with the product’s quality. Their show is light years above WWE (just my opinion) and I find myself wanting the majority of their roster because everyone has their place on the show and feel more important.

It’s cool that this will be some of the guys first figure while others are getting much needed updates and some guys the Kenny and the Bucks are getting their first GOOD figures. Still like getting elites but it’s not the same. Besides the questionable distribution Mattel has dropped the ball on some of the more wanted guys. Really excited when Cedric was announced and the render looked good and then he got the Daniel Bryan torso. WTH!? I know Jazwares will have their own bumps in the road cause every company does. Just the excitement this line is creating with us fans and the way AEW is hitting their stride is combination that should lead to great things.
