I would be for these because they would probably be at a lower price point compared to the Unrivaled Collection. Thus, making me more apt to buy (more of) them.

Jazwares taking on Mattel’s old ideas like AEW are taking WWEs old talent Mattel adding shoulder joints to the UE figures thus taking on Toybiz's old ideas like WWE is full of TNA's old talent There’s a difference between joints and doing a retro style line. Especially for a company that already says they don’t need to ride the coat tails of wwe’s past successes

They will probably look good. I wouldn't see myself getting to into these compared to the WWE retro line. Probably just picking up certain characters and that's it.

While I’m not particularly into AEW, I think it would be cool if they started a hasbro-like line. My only main interest is in legend characters, but even if they only made current AEW guys I’d probably buy them as they could offer up great parts for customs, for example Hangman Page cowboy boots could be used for several legends. And maybe accessories too. So there could be some good possibilities there.
That was my main issue with the Mattel retro line, lots of same body parts used for example all jumpers having the same arms & all kickers having the same arms. Why not mix em up a bit?

If it’s current roster in the Hasbro/retro style line then sign me up!

Thought I’d post in this save starting a new thread
With so many retro style lines coming out independent + Mattel’s it got me thinking about who I’d like and punk is top of the list then I remembered this post and jeremys hint / tease
Things went very quiet very quick - are we guessing this idea was scrapped snd they went the LJN route or were considering these along with the LJN line or was it just a cheeky tease?

Probably just a cheeky tease. Going quiet about products is Jeremy's/Jazware's usual method. Some products only get officially revealed after already being released, some products never get revealed at all and just show up (Amazon 2 packs, for example). I like Jeremy and like the AEW products overall, but their marketing leaves something to be desired.

So far only 3 figs in stores with 1 more announced.

I’d like to hear more about legends before any retro series. Fells quiet on the Owen Hart front for example.

I was disappointed this was just a bump.
I'd REALLY love to buy these...

I'm sure Jeremy would love to do a million things with the line. Then there are the realities of retail, logistics, etc. I think he's just somebody who likes to throw ideas out there to test the waters, but that's not always great for the customer base. And the marketing and communication on the line has fallen way below expectations - so we don't get a lot of concrete info beyond Jeremy's thinking out loud.
I still think a lot of this stuff will happen - play sets, legends, etc. But the lack of hard info on this line is frustrating. And some less obvious things - like design changes, factory changes, etc haven't helped. They're a mid-sized toy company, so I don't expect them to be on par with Mattel and Hasbro. But there's some major room for improvement.

It was actually chella showing their hart foundation bulldog figure that got me wondering about an Owen retro - that would be brilliant even if they had to alter his attire somewhat I wonder if the owen hart foundation license is exclusive with aew?

They’re barely getting by with the normal line and the LJNs. They would be so dumb to start another line on top of what they have

The important thing is that this line should have extremely limited chases. I'm talking a straw-into-gold drop rate. Everybody loves those!

I feel like FTR are destined for a line like this. I was so bummed when Mattel didn't do Retros of them so I hope Jazwares will pull the trigger.
