Here’s some loose pics of the Sting & Darby Allin 2-Pack



Sting -


Darby Allin -


UPDATED 12/23*
I picked up the Unrivaled Christian Cage. This was a figure I was looking forward to. But now that I have it I am very disappointed. The heads are tiny compared to the torso and that hand. And the neck is way too thin as even the tiny heads stick out way too far when looking at it from the sides. The torso and lower torso looks like it’s bloated. The legs look odd. It almost looks like the hips are backwards because they’re on the wrong sides. The feet are tiny and the searching hand is just as long as the feet.



UPDATED 12/8*
I picked up the Unrivaled Series 10 Andrade El Idolo today at Target.




UPDATED 12/4*
I just picked up the Unmatched Series 5 Shawn Spears at the Palisades Center Target. They had everyone except BD.

I picked up the Unmatched Series 5 Sammy Guevara today at the Monroe Target.





Of course this Sammy’s head is a different skin tone than his first two figures.

and also suffers giraffe neck on the old body.

UPDATED 11/8*
My RSC “King of Harts” Owen Hart arrived today from RSC.












UPDATED 11/4*
So after WalMart delayed my order this morning I checked the availability locally and it showed as in stock at the Fishkill NY Walmart which is about an hour north from me.
I then placed a curbside pickup order and received an email 10 minutes later saying it was ready for pick up. So I drove up there and picked it up. I also checked the aisle where they had three more so I picked up another in case my delayed order get canceled. Here’s blue and black attire looks I will do the red ones over the weekend.

Amazon delivered my Unmatched Series 4 CM Punk last night. So between this one and the WalMart exclusive I think I have all the Punk figures I need.




UPDATED 10/16*
I picked up the Unrivaled Series 8 Pain Maker and Moxley today at Walmart. I feel like it took forever to find this Jericho. I am pretty sure I first saw this wave in June.

While out looking for the Target exclusive Gold Label McFarlane Green Lantern figure I found the Target Exclusive Unrivaled Sammy Guevara.

Some more Cowboy 💩. I found the regular Unmatched Series 4 ”Hangman” Adam Page at the Monroe Target this morning. I knew I should have stopped there yesterday when I went to Walmart.

UPDATED 9/4*
My Walmart Exclusive Unmatched “Hangman” Adam Page arrived today from Walmart in a plastic bag so the box is again banged up. Good thing I am not a MiB collector.







UPDATED 8/29*
I picked up the Unrivaled Series 8 Orange Cassidy from Walmart over the weekend. It’s ok for my purposes of standing on a shelf, but as far as playing goes the pants design pretty much kills any leg movement. And I do feel like the pants will dry out and rot fairly quickly. Overall I feel this is the most disappointing figure the released because of the lower body design.



UPDATED 8/3*
My Supreme Collection Series 1 Cody Rhodes arrived today from RSC. I think the only things I didn’t swap were the boots and belts. And as cool as the coat is I am worried the red rubber will bleed into the figure over time. I know people have had stains with the rubber jackets on past AEW figures. So I think I will either put some masking tape on the inside of the coat or maybe some plastic wrap on the figure. I haven’t decided which yet.

I picked up the Unmatched Series 3 John Sliver this morning at Target.



UPDATED 4/6*
My Walmart Exclusive LJN Styled Cody Rhodes arrived today from Walmart. Basically it was shipped in a plastic bag. There was no padding whatsoever inside the plastic envelope. So the whole top of the box is damaged. There goes displaying it MIB.

IT’S STING!!! My two Unmatched Series 2 Luminaries Sting figures arrived from RSC. This is probably the best figure in the AEW line to date.

I picked up a Series 4 Kenny Omega at the Monroe NY Target this morning. Funny it was about a month between my last AEW purchase. That’s how long it took to find another Series 6 figure around here.

Just a mere two hours after saying I wasn’t going to buy multiples of any AEW wrestlers besides Sting, Hangman, Cody, Pac & Jericho I go to Target and purchase the Unrivaled Series 6 Penta. lol

My RSC Exclusive TNT Champion Cody Rhodes arrived today. I must say other than the Mattel Legends figures I normally don’t really care about the packaging, but I have to say I think this is a beautifully designed package. I almost didn’t want to open it.

My Series 4 Cody Rhodes just arrived from RSC.



UPDATED 3/16*
This morning at the Airmont NY Walmart I found all of Series 3 minus Orange Cassidy which is fine because I don’t want him. I did pick up the Darby Allin and another Pac so I am officially done with who I wanted in series 3. So now it’s on to series 4 Cody and the Inner Circle members.

I found the Unrivaled Series 3 Young Bucks at the Mt Kisco NY Target. They rang up at $25. Luckily I had a pic of the AEW tag from the Monroe NY store which showed them at $19.99 so they adjusted my receipt and refunded me almost $10.

UPDATED 1/13*
My two Unrivaled Series 3 Pac figures just arrived. Unfortunately the skin tone doesn’t match Mattel’s KotCW WrestleMania Neville figure...so that head swap isn’t happening. I have to say while the head without hair covering his face isn’t the best likeness my biggest issue with the figure is his “love handles”. The guy’s in phenomenal shape yet because of the love handles they gave him especially in the back his waist looks to thick. Especially from the sides and back.

Mattel Elite Series 55 head swap -
It looks like a closer match in the pics because of the camera flash.
UPDATED 1/12* So my back ordered Unrivaled Series 2 “Hangman” Adam Page and MJF figures shipped yesterday as did my preorder for two Unrivaled Series 3 Pac figures. They were picked up from RSC at the same time. Arrived and left the Metro facility together. Then arrived at the White Plains NY facility together. Yet only my series 2 figures left White Plains to the Monsey NY PO and finally my local PO. I just don’t get the PO. Clearly the two orders were traveling in the same trailers. So what happened at White Plains? Did they only unload half the trailer? lol

My Unrivaled Series 2 Hangman Adam Page just arrived from RSC. I like him, but he has huge feet.







UPDATED 8/23*
Finally a display that had more than the leftover Omega’s in it. It was hit though. It just had the one Young Buck figure and 3-4 each of Cody & Jericho & Omega’s.

Nick Jackson - I was surprised someone left him, but they grabbed all the Matt figures.



What was left after I got the three I wanted.

Now if I see a Matt at WalMart I will buy it but if not I am done with Series 1 and now the wait for Series 2 to hit RSC starts.
UPDATED 8/14*
So Monroe NY showed these in stock at 1am this morning (3 hours after they closed) this morning I got up at 5:15 because I wanted to stop there on my way to my brother-in-law’s in Middletown so I could be at that Middletown Target when they opened in hopes of finding the Beachhead figure. (Showed 6 of him in stock) Well, at 5:30 I checked Brickseek again for the AEW and Monroe went to zero in the 4 1/2 hours overnight. I was at the Monroe store when they opened and asked the dept manager if they had them giving her my Cody upc to scan. And of course there were none. So we got up to Middletown around 7:40 so I hit that WalMart and asked the woman there if they had them and she said someone was there about 15-20 minutes earlier and reused to buy the whole case. But she said she made him leave the extra and pulled it off her cart. It was Omega which other than the variants and an extra of the regular Cody and Jericho was the only other series 1 figure I wanted. So I have my Omega now. Oh and when I got to the Joe aisle at Target all the Joe’s were in 3 other customers hands.
AEW Unrivaled Series 1 Kenny Omega -
The jacket closes and the joints aren’t too loose.




Scale Comparison-

UPDATED 8/7*
I have said my thoughts about the figures overall design in the “Bit of the Bubbly” figure review. Which can be seen below.


Wrestling has more than one Royal Family
”American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes - overall he’s a very nice looking figure. Head sculpt and attire looks great. I would say the one thing that could have been better is accessories. He comes with just a sledgehammer and his lifting belt. So an extra set of hands or a tshirt would have been great. Especially when Jericho has a hat, jacket, soft goods scarf and a pair of extra hand.





“Le Champion” Chris Jericho - Jericho has a different head than the Bubbly figure. And it looks very good. The ring attire looks to be the same on both figures. Jericho has a hat, jacket, soft goods scarf and a pair of extra hands. I know they probably couldn’t put it here with Jericho but someone in series 1 should have come with the title. As of now you either need to buy an exclusive figure or hope to find a 1 of 500 chase figure to get a title. While it wouldn’t be ideal for mib collectors packing Cody with the world championship would have been great. Or even with Brandi to help her sales, but the championship belt should be accessible in series 1.

My A Bit of the Bubbly RSC Exclusive Chris Jericho - arrived today from RSC.
Mine arrived and some quick thoughts. For the most part I am happy with the figure and can’t wait to get more.
That said there’s a few things I am not happy about design wise. First as I have stated before I‘m not a fan of the waist design. I don’t like the side to side rocking motion of the ball jointed waist. I’ve never liked that in any figure line, because certain poses there’s odd looking gaps on the sides. But the second and more pressing thing I feel will be an issue over time is the lower torso (abs) isn’t made of the same plastic as the rest of the figure, but it seems to be some sort of rubber which if it is I feel will dry out and crumble over time. So I am definitely not happy with that choice. And I hope it is something they realize and correct going forward. The Jericho is a little paler than I would like (well it turns out all of series 1 will be) but Jazwares said the skin tones will be addressed going forward. *And the skin tone between the upper and lower torsos isn’t really noticeable with the naked eye. It just looks like it because the camera flash enhances everything.
Scale wise he’s slightly shorter than the UE Triple H which works, but his calves are much thicker than most Mattel figures. and seem to be as thick as his own thighs. But I think that could be hidden/fudged.
My personal figure has a messed up tattoo. It was printed to low on the upper arm so it looks like it’s missing on my figure. But that’s not too big of a deal with me. Oh and I did was the shirt to get any excess dye out. There was issues/damage putting it in a delicates bag and Washing it with the laundry in the washing machine. Although I did air dry it.
Overall I am quite happy with it and look forward to more. Really my only real issue/complaint is the choice of material used on the lower torso. I mean I am hoping 5-10 years from now the material is still holding up. But unless they have used this material on their figures before and knows how it holds up over time I will be worried until time has passed and we can see for ourselves.
Articulation he has 30 POA consisting of...
Head - ball jointed on a hinge.
Shoulders - standard ball jointed.
Upper arms - Standard cut joint.
Elbows - double jointed hinges.
Wrists - standard hinge and rotating.
Upper torso - ball jointed.
Waist - ball jointed.
Hips - standard ball jointed.
Upper thigh - standard cut joint.
Knees - double jointed hinges.
Lower leg - standard boot cuts.
Ankles - hinged & rocker.

We went to the Monroe NY Target this morning and they had a fresh case of AEW Unraveled Series 4 on the pegs. So these are who I picked up. They along with the GI Joe Classified Major Bludd are my Anniversary gifts from my wife. Twenty eight years tomorrow and I’ve never won a fight.

My RSC Exclusive TNT Champion Cody Rhodes arrived today. I must say other than the Mattel Legends figures I normally don’t really care about the packaging, but I have to say I think this is a beautifully designed package. I almost didn’t want to open it.

My Series 4 Cody Rhodes just arrived from RSC.

This morning at the Airmont NY Walmart I found all of Series 3 minus Orange Cassidy which is fine because I don’t want him. I did pick up the Darby Allin and another Pac so I am officially done with who I wanted in series 3. So now it’s on to series 4 Cody and the Inner Circle members.

I found the Unrivaled Series 3 Young Bucks at the Mt Kisco NY Target. They rang up at $25. Luckily I had a pic of the AEW tag from the Monroe NY store which showed them at $19.99 so they adjusted my receipt and refunded me almost $10.

I found a lone Unrivaled Series 2 Moxley on the pegs at the Spring Valley NY Target. An employee scanned it and said the rest were in back so I asked him for the Rey Fenix. For those interested the rest are still in back. Not sure if MJF is a chase or not because I just asked for the Fenix.

I found AEW Unrivaled Series 2 Hangman Adam Page & Dustin Rhodes at Target today. I guess Dustin has no accessories and small feet to make up the budget used on Page’s clown feet. lol

My two Unrivaled Series 3 Pac figures just arrived. Unfortunately the skin tone doesn’t match Mattel’s KotCW WrestleMania Neville figure...so that head swap isn’t happening. I have to say while the head without hair covering his face isn’t the best likeness my biggest issue with the figure is his “love handles”. The guy’s in phenomenal shape yet because of the love handles they gave him especially in the back his waist looks to thick. Especially from the sides and back.

It looks like a closer match in the pics because of the camera flash.
UPDATED 1/12* So my back ordered Unrivaled Series 2 “Hangman” Adam Page and MJF figures shipped yesterday as did my preorder for two Unrivaled Series 3 Pac figures. They were picked up from RSC at the same time. Arrived and left the Metro facility together. Then arrived at the White Plains NY facility together. Yet only my series 2 figures left White Plains to the Monsey NY PO and finally my local PO. I just don’t get the PO. Clearly the two orders were traveling in the same trailers. So what happened at White Plains? Did they only unload half the trailer? lol

MJF -
I am not happy with how off the skin tone is between the head and the torso. Other than that it’s a solid figure.

I found a lone Omega today up at the Middletown NY WalMart. So I picked it up to replace the one I have with the short left leg.

My Unrivaled Series 2 Hangman Adam Page just arrived from RSC. I like him, but he has huge feet.

Finally a display that had more than the leftover Omega’s in it. It was hit though. It just had the one Young Buck figure and 3-4 each of Cody & Jericho & Omega’s.

Nick Jackson - I was surprised someone left him, but they grabbed all the Matt figures.



What was left after I got the three I wanted.

Now if I see a Matt at WalMart I will buy it but if not I am done with Series 1 and now the wait for Series 2 to hit RSC starts.

So Monroe NY showed these in stock at 1am this morning (3 hours after they closed) this morning I got up at 5:15 because I wanted to stop there on my way to my brother-in-law’s in Middletown so I could be at that Middletown Target when they opened in hopes of finding the Beachhead figure. (Showed 6 of him in stock) Well, at 5:30 I checked Brickseek again for the AEW and Monroe went to zero in the 4 1/2 hours overnight. I was at the Monroe store when they opened and asked the dept manager if they had them giving her my Cody upc to scan. And of course there were none. So we got up to Middletown around 7:40 so I hit that WalMart and asked the woman there if they had them and she said someone was there about 15-20 minutes earlier and reused to buy the whole case. But she said she made him leave the extra and pulled it off her cart. It was Omega which other than the variants and an extra of the regular Cody and Jericho was the only other series 1 figure I wanted. So I have my Omega now. Oh and when I got to the Joe aisle at Target all the Joe’s were in 3 other customers hands.

I have said my thoughts about the figures overall design in the “Bit of the Bubbly” figure review. Which can be seen below.


Wrestling has more than one Royal Family
”American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes - overall he’s a very nice looking figure. Head sculpt and attire looks great. I would say the one thing that could have been better is accessories. He comes with just a sledgehammer and his lifting belt. So an extra set of hands or a tshirt would have been great. Especially when Jericho has a hat, jacket, soft goods scarf and a pair of extra hand.





“Le Champion” Chris Jericho - Jericho has a different head than the Bubbly figure. And it looks very good. The ring attire looks to be the same on both figures. Jericho has a hat, jacket, soft goods scarf and a pair of extra hands. I know they probably couldn’t put it here with Jericho but someone in series 1 should have come with the title. As of now you either need to buy an exclusive figure or hope to find a 1 of 500 chase figure to get a title. While it wouldn’t be ideal for mib collectors packing Cody with the world championship would have been great. Or even with Brandi to help her sales, but the championship belt should be accessible in series 1.

My A Bit of the Bubbly RSC Exclusive Chris Jericho - arrived today from RSC.
Mine arrived and some quick thoughts. For the most part I am happy with the figure and can’t wait to get more.
That said there’s a few things I am not happy about design wise. First as I have stated before I‘m not a fan of the waist design. I don’t like the side to side rocking motion of the ball jointed waist. I’ve never liked that in any figure line, because certain poses there’s odd looking gaps on the sides. But the second and more pressing thing I feel will be an issue over time is the lower torso (abs) isn’t made of the same plastic as the rest of the figure, but it seems to be some sort of rubber which if it is I feel will dry out and crumble over time. So I am definitely not happy with that choice. And I hope it is something they realize and correct going forward. The Jericho is a little paler than I would like (well it turns out all of series 1 will be) but Jazwares said the skin tones will be addressed going forward. *And the skin tone between the upper and lower torsos isn’t really noticeable with the naked eye. It just looks like it because the camera flash enhances everything.
Scale wise he’s slightly shorter than the UE Triple H which works, but his calves are much thicker than most Mattel figures. and seem to be as thick as his own thighs. But I think that could be hidden/fudged.
My personal figure has a messed up tattoo. It was printed to low on the upper arm so it looks like it’s missing on my figure. But that’s not too big of a deal with me. Oh and I did was the shirt to get any excess dye out. There was issues/damage putting it in a delicates bag and Washing it with the laundry in the washing machine. Although I did air dry it.
Overall I am quite happy with it and look forward to more. Really my only real issue/complaint is the choice of material used on the lower torso. I mean I am hoping 5-10 years from now the material is still holding up. But unless they have used this material on their figures before and knows how it holds up over time I will be worried until time has passed and we can see for ourselves.
Articulation he has 30 POA consisting of...
Head - ball jointed on a hinge.
Shoulders - standard ball jointed.
Upper arms - Standard cut joint.
Elbows - double jointed hinges.
