Jeremy on his twitter confirmed that they will be producing series 1 with a skin tone running change. It will be available to exclusive retailers in the US and Australian And New Zealand retailers. Its going to be produced after the series 2 production. There will also be a subtle reference to the fact it is the second wave of production on the packaging. Looks like back orders on ringside will go up again with the running change once everything is sorted.

That’s awesome. I could see myself getting one or two of these.
I hope they fix the color of Omega’s attire also.

He also mentioned that they are looking at production in 2 factories moving forward instead of 1 to help fix demand issues now that they have a better idea of how much needs to be produced. Say what ya want about any botches related to the series 1 release, but this is a great amount of transparency from a company about production difficulties, solutions, etc.

Should also add its being done to get product into the Aussie/Zealand market because they missed out on the initial figures.
Also it will be (at least from the way Jeremy worded it) online exclusive in the US to RSC and I guess Walmart.
Also they’re opening production at a second factory to make more figures available quicker so @kmangio you can take off your tinfoil hat.

He creates a hyped demand for wave 1, now he's going back into production to produce more of wave 1. Makes sense with the Amazon pre-orders and international markets. They'll have 3 waves and wave 1 updated skin tone.

I am super hyped about this. Skin tone was my only issue with the first set and I know some will complain about having to buy twice but I will gladly pay again for a fixed set. Awesome, awesome, awesome.

They should add the AEW Championship Title Belt to the Chris Jericho figure with entrance gear, to make up for the M3V Championship Title Belt fiasco.

Getting an updated Omega for sure, guess I’ll get Nick Jackson as well (because his head with the red bandana won’t match if I wait), and I will wait and see on Cody, Jericho, & Matt Jackson. If Cody gets another single card release without the neck tattoo I might double up on that one instead Wish I would’ve waited to take my Jericho, Cody, & Bucks out of the packaging now

Omega seems to be the ones left over in stores. I feel like he would be the one you could probably snag another of in Walmart.

As an Australian, I'm glad we're getting another chance at these.
Watching Ringside continuously sell out was disheartening.

Awesome, awesome, awesome. I feel the same way. I'd buy them all again with corrected skin tones. That said, I don't think I would buy Brandi again. I got her figure with my set from RSC, and I don't really feel like her skin tone was wrong.

I'm tempted to buy the re-production of Wave 1, but I already have 1 set loose and 1 set MOC.

I'm not too bothered by the skin tones, so I won't need to rebuy anybody, but that's cool for people who were put off by it or couldn't find the first waves.

Do I wish the skin tones were darker? Sure. But the figures look fine in hand, so it was a non-issue for me. I can't see myself dropping another $100, especially when everyone but Cody is displayed with their entrance gear on. I would consider grabbing another Kenny if they correct the skin tone and lighten up the logos on his gear.

Yeah, I've got a mess of Elites I've picked up through the pandemic crowding my desk, and Cody, Jericho, and Kenny are mixed right in with them. It's not even remotely jarring from where I sit.

I never could find Wave 1. So, even if I do see them out now, I will just skip buying them, and pre order Wave 1 Version 2 as soon as it goes up on RSC. Honestly, I don't think the skin tone would have bothered me too much. If I had already bought Wave 1, I'd probably just stick with what I had. But since I never did find them, I will just hold out for the newer, darker skin toned set.

So in theory I can save my first RSC orders for MOC and wait until corrected tones arrive to open?
