I don't see how the face printing looks like dollar store KOs? What kind of fancy ass dollar stores are y'all shopping at? It's people who really like the Mattel WWE line burying something people are excited for because it's not WWE. sorry man these heads are trash, plain and simple.

This company is run by a guy from Jakks, we’d be fools to not tread lightly with prototypes

Happy and surprised Jericho is coming with the "A little bit of the bubbly" t-shirt for the exclusive figure! So happy I pre-ordered it!

I hope that the Omega that comes with the ring has the correct skin tone and hair.

This really does seem like a poor photograph situation more than anything. I'm disappointed with the Omega deal but they're already doing a running change so fair enough to a degree. They looked fine in some of the other photos I've seen like the Cody and Brandi photos they posted from the video shoot day. Seems like some people were waiting for a reason to write the line off because "WELL IT'S JEREMY SO OF COURSE HE'S GONNA JAKKS US!" which guess that's your prerogative. Hopefully more are more willing to wait until they see more photos or even see the damn things in person before making a real judgement on 'em.
I'm excited for 'em. Roll on August-ish.

If it’s just bad photography then that’s good. But they looked bad. So I guess we’ll see when they’re in our hands

It's whatever, we will get more down the line so I'm not gonna freak about it. Plus Jeremy gets it and is actively working on correcting it for wave 2. Jeremy is getting a lot of flack though sadly. But I'm still excited to get these in hand and see them for myself in person. HYPED!

This company is run by a guy from Jakks, we’d be fools to not tread lightly with prototypes To an extent yes, especially when talking deco and etc. But to try and discern plastic quality from photos is on a whole other level. And I find it doubly amusing since a vast majority of my Mattel's look great quality-wise in photos, but their arms and legs feel like they could snap off from the slightest breeze.

The pics Jeremy posted of Jericho and Cody look SO much better, so I stand corrected. I hope it’s the same for The Bucks, as I think Kenny’s scan is already fine. Whoever shot the first pics posted on Ringside did not do them justice at all, again assuming the shots Jeremy posted are legit which I’m inclined to believe.
With that in mind I’m feeling more optimistic again. I was disappointed before but some of the reactions today were so silly.
While I’m not a big fan of the torsos I think the attires and their deco look incredible, as well as all of the accessories. Can’t wait to get these, and I’m equally or more excited for Series 2.

Not happy with that Omega in the slightest. Definitely regretting my pre order right now so I might end up canceling until I know I'll get one with the right hair.

I don't see how the face printing looks like dollar store KOs? What kind of fancy ass dollar stores are y'all shopping at? I also don’t see how the plastic looks cheap. How can you even tell? I’ll admit the protos looked better on some of these, while others look better than the protos, but some of the criticism is pretty petty. For first time figures they’re fine. My biggest critique is Kenny Omegas hair being black, I hope it’s the lighting There's just a certain quality to the plastic that comes across in the photos. Not even an overly cheap shitty plastic, it just looks cheaper compared to the prototypes, or indeed yes, Mattels. The faces? Yes, they look like bootlegs/knock offs of the figures originally shown. No matter your stance on these figures - whether or not you pre ordered, if you still like the look of them, didn't like the prototypes, etc - nobody can deny there is a significant downgrade when comparing what was originally shown to what they intend to sell. If I remember correctly it was the same with Mattel. I remember the figures they originally showcased being of a higher quality than what released in those first waves. However, not to this extent. I will also state that I am not biased. I never planned on buying these, and I sold off my Mattel figures years back. I do want the AEW line to succeed, and I think they will, but the bait and switch here is staggering.

I am beyond excited for these figures!
The faces don’t look perfect but I’m okay with that. I’m just happy to see new wrestling figures.

First I stand by what I said before and that is I wish this line was rolled out with a larger parts library. Mattel had at least 4 or 5 different sets of arms when they released wave 1. There’s no reason why Jazwares couldn’t have had a few different sets of arms. Just with multiple arm choices the figures could have shared the same torso yet look to be different sized and have different builds. That’s my one complaint. Now I just wish they would put the next wave up so I can preorder Hangman already. I preordered the first series, plus Bubbly Jericho, and I'm excited about the line. That said, this doesn't make me feel great about getting an Omega that I'm immediately going to have to replace to get the correct version. Were there not samples and safeguards?Also, if they knew the new proto photos weren't great, why release them? Just because it’s a running change doesn’t mean they all won’t be correct once RSC gets them. For all we know this could have been a test sample the sent before going into mass production and Jeremy could have seen this sample he had it changed before the figures went into production.

The lighting thing is really big, just had a closer look at the protos, the side on MOC picture looks so much better than the face forward pictures, like worlds apart for quality.
Am very excited for this line, pre ordered two Bubbly Jericho, will hunt down three regular release Jericho (MOC, Loose and a Painmaker custom) and cross my fingers I can get two of the 1/1000's somewhere down the line

Lots of negativity in the posts here, but I remain excited overall. Cool to see Bubbly Jericho comes with the Bubbly T-shirt too! Eager to see how much Kenny with updated hair improves the figure's look.

Also what people are saying about the plastic looking cheap, I own Jazware's Fortnite figures that look to have the same plastic. They are FAR from cheap and have strong joints for all the articulation. I wouldn't worry about that at all.

The updated photo of Cody that Jeremy posted looks much better. Hopefully the Bucks will as well. I don't think the color on Kenny's gear is just a matter of lighting, but we'll see.
