After watching the Dog Collar Match between Cody/Brodie on Dynamite, my friend, who’s an avid fan but stopped collecting years ago mentioned he would actually consider purchasing a commemorative two-pack of the match (to include the dog collar and TNT title obviously) which I agreed with, however he also added in “But only if it was post-match and the figures were bloody.” which I found interesting.
Obviously the question kind of proposes itself here - given that AEW is marketed towards an older audience, including its figure line, would you purchase bloody/battle damaged figures of characters you already have to represent them mid/post match?
If these figures were to be made, I’d assume to avoid any controversy (i.e. Karen losing her mind cause little Billy picks up a blood covered Mox figure at Walmart) they’d be sold via RSC as exclusives.

I know we got Cody and Dustin from Double or Nothing already but I’m so down for a “bloody” 2-pack.

There was a line that used to do this a long time ago, I forget the company but they did legends with bloody variants like Bundy and Abdullah the Butcher, etc. I never owned any but I saw them in wrestling magazines and always thought they were a cool idea. I'd probably pick up these for that nostalgia alone.

But yeah, I would totally buy a Dustin from his match with Cody. |

Yes, I know there is a New Jack bloody figure coming out soon so looks like the trend could pick up again who knows!

Not something I would need. But depending on the wrestlers/match maybe a RSC exclusive set every now and then.

I thought I remembered the logo. |

I remember as a kid; 10 years back my childhood best friend and I thought of this as a awesome idea. And we’d try to buy spare figures if everyone and make it their bloody attire.

I'm all for it, though I'd probably be selective in who I buy. I'm sure I wasn't the only one who used a red Crayola marker to give my Hasbro figures color.
If they do it, I think they'll be RSC exclusives. There's probably too much potential backlash to pack them onto retail shelves, even if it was only a chase figure.

I’d be fine if there were swappable heads for a figure, a normal scan and one with blood or damage but I’d use the normal scans 95% of the time personally.
I’d rather have more unique attires than have a bloody/damaged version of one, but I get there are some memorable moments in AEW where there’s been blood.

In that case, the number of Cody figures would double. lol

I wouldn't want them on my shelf, but they'd be cool to see as a exclusives or special runs.

I'd love some bloody figs lol. There was a 2 pack made by Jakks that featured Sting vs Hogan, and Hogan was bloodied up. Came with cloth goods and the TNA World Championship. It was dope.

Nah.
When I was a kid I used to have dry erase markers for bloody matches.

That's such a weird 2-pack looking back. You have Hogan from the post-match press conference for his match with Chono were Jarrett jumped him and then there's like 2009 Sting. |

That Ringside exclusive bloody Hogan is one of my all-time favorite Hogan figures, so yes, I'm all for it.
Speaking of...is it me, or does the regular Moxley have a gash/cut on his forehead? Couldn't tell if it was that or maybe the deco hit for his hair was off or something lol

I'd probably pick up these for that nostalgia alone. I wanted all of those back in the day when looking through the catalog. Fun times. |
