So I went back and rewatched Cody’s match at DoN against his brother Dustin. I understand budgets and all, but seeing as Cody came with his entrance jacket during his entrance, do you think Cody should’ve came with his entrance jacket with his figure and Brandi came with the sledgehammer or vice versa since Brandi comes with literally nothing at all? I really loved that jacket and wished we would’ve gotten it.

I'm sure he'd like to forget it, too, since he has toned-down his entrance gear since. That would have sent the price of the figures up, so, no, I'm personally glad they didn't include it. I'm really happy with the way S1 turned out, with Jericho and the Bucks getting the deco $$$, as those were stand-out pieces of entrance gear.  |

Yeah I wish we could’ve gotten the jacket. Maybe they could make it with the throne. Jeremy loves doing outside the box things, maybe grapple gear could make a comeback

The sledgehammer definitely should have been packed with Brandi instead.
I would not be surprised to see a two pack of Cody and Dustin from Double or Nothing 2019 (possibly bloody variant?) and include Cody's jacket in that.

Kind of made him feel like a leader in front of all of his warriors. You could even argue that it makes him look like a pirate captain (searching for some booty  ) ready to set charge on sailing to finish a task à la the Attitude Killer. I absolutely loved it. |

I loved that jacket! It was actually inspired by Alucard from Castlevania.

I’m ok with not having it. It’s fine but I’m not overly crazy about how it looked on him. I like having him look as he typically would on any given night.

I had zero recollection of that jacket even existing. I'm fine with their strategy of giving high detail accessories to the figures that need them, but not forcing accessories on figures that don't.
Give me accessories that make sense, or put that budget money elsewhere into design, deco, tooling, etc. I have way too many bins of rubber shirts, barbells, fire extinguishers, tires, and other stuff from Mattel that just seemed like filler as it is.

It does look just like that, but way more Medieval Times Dinner Theatre quality  But Knowing the story on it, and the homage to gaming history, it gets a DRIP from me. Sorry Cody, I should never doubt you, other than Brandi walking all over you and ruining AEW. Am I rambling? |

Brandi should have came with a breakable throne that Cody smashed with the sledgehammer.
