Lately championship title belts from outside promotions have been featured and even defended on Dynamite almost as much as the AEW titles. Would you be interested in one of the following?
NWA Women's Championship (w/ Thunder Rosa or Serena Deeb)
IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship (w/ Jon Moxley) Impact World Tag Team Championships (w/ Good Brothers)
Obviously Jazwares would need to secure the rights to make these belts, but I would definitely be interested in adding all of them to my collection. The fact that the Cody Rhodes Ringside exclusive comes with the unfinished version of the TNT title suggests to me that the company is taking a completist approach to the belts.

No chance in hell of New Japan belts they won’t even approve their own figures

They went up three months before the AEW line was even announced. They've apparently left the factory so we're a month or so now from Super7 getting them in hand and shipping them but knowing how things have gone with this line I fully expect the boat to explode or something stupid.

Damn, I was not aware it they went up that early. Bit of a hazy memory, hence the RVD avatar lol. I was so close to dropping money too. Sorry to all of you that did

I mean no offence to anyone, but why do these sort of questions keep coming up? We don’t know. The answer depends 100% on the contracts AEW has with Impact/NJPW etc as well as the contract AEW has with Jazwares. Unless AEW knew this stuff was happening before they signed with Jazwares, then it’s highly unlikely the toy deal includes the other promotions

Unless AEW knew this stuff was happening before they signed with Jazwares, then it’s highly unlikely the toy deal includes the other promotions Because it's fun to speculate. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ People tried being a buzzkill early on in the line with the "potential legends" thread, swooping in to remind folks at least once per page that no legends line was currently planned and that, as such, the discussion wasn't even worth having. People have been speculating about figure lines since the AFR/FZ days. At least now we don't have patently false "lineups" being fed to Aaron Morgan and taken as gospel every few months to contend with. I, for one, would like to see a further partnership with NWA develop. The old Marvel toys NWA WHC is nice, but it's also highly sought after and pricey on the secondary market. Jazwares belts have been really nice, and I'd love to see their take on the ten pounds of gold.

Outside titles have become a big part of AEW storylines lately. A truly representational line, which is what Unrivaled/Unmatched aims to be (and has been so far), will include them. Of course it is highly unlikely that Jazwares has agreements with NWA, Impact, or NJPW in place.
Besides, anyone from JP or anyone Jazwares browsing this forum might want to know that these kinds of accessories are things that collectors want.

Personally I feel like Serena Deeb or Thunder Rosa with the NWA Women's Championship is the most realistic opportunity to include a belt from outside AEW (aside from the obvious FTW Championship if you count that as outside). But at the rate figures of AEW's women come out, it's going to be a while.

Has there ever been a time when more companies have been making wrestling figures at the same time?

I really, really hope that with the cross promotion somehow Jazwares gets to make some NJPW figures in the same style and packaging as AEW figures. On that note, I don't see why they wouldn't also be able to make some NWA figures. Someone like Thunder Rosa might not be signed with AEW (she might even be under contract with NWA still) but let's face it, NWA isn't getting their own figure line any time soon. Might as well mix it up and let some NWA names into the AEW line. Even if they just made a Magnus for the hell of it I'd buy him.
I also wouldn't mind seeing some Impact names in the AEW line. If we get a match like Kenny Omega vs. Rich Swann down the line, having them as a two pack of figures would seem like a smart move. It's not like Impact has anyone making figures for them either.
Mainly, I just see the way AEW is working with other promotions as hopefully leading to them doing the same with action figures as they do in the ring.

I remember dropping money on these soon as they went up for preorder in November of 2019. I remember preordering mine like two minutes after they went up. I was standing at the door of the meat cooler at the store I was working at en route to clocking out for the day and just casually dropped the $190 or whatever on the whole set only to find out that it'd be nearly a year and a half before I got them in hand. Made the mistake of preordering series 2 immediately to. Never again.

Having a talent trade agreement isn't the same thing as your toy company having licensing deals with the other promotions. It's not as simple as "AEW is working with the NWA and NWA isn't getting figures, so they could make Nick Aldis" or "Okada is coming in for Double or Nothing, they should put him in Unrivaled Series 11". Also, New Japan's Super7 deal might have given them the exclusive rights to 6-7" scale figures.

There are a lot of licensing and marketing factors that come into play. I have zero doubt that Jeremy will explore pushing the envelope as far as possible, and AEW will seems like the best possible partner if anything out of the box were to happen. But I think we need to keep expectations realistic. Anything beyond AEW contracted talent and some figures of outside legends would be an absolute coup for collectors. But it's very much a longshot.

If Jazwares reached out and got the rights, sure. That'd be really cool.
Otherwise, no.
