It doesn't look like they adjusted Dustin's height, which is super disappointing.
Miro is what it is. I'm fine with waiting for a future figure. The camo shorts are such a terrible attire.

Britt's scan is questionable at best, I hope it's better in person, but I'm a bit disappointed because she was my most wanted of the set.

There’s 10 times as many of that Darby as the Dynamite #3 attire
Mind numbing stupidity

I wonder how the height of that Cody LJN-styled figure compares to the original LJNs. The Jakks Classic Superstars LJN-styled figs were quite a bit shorter than the originals, so I'll bet that this will be the same case here.

Ya know, I wish you all wouldn't just gush over these figs and gloss over their shortcomings lulz
Seriously though, a lot of names and looks I'd like to have but the execution seems to have missed the mark again. Britt's scan doesn't capture her beauty in any pics or renders I've seen. MIRO looks disproportioned in the arms and chest, but could be the pose. And yes, making molds cost buuko $, but Dust and the TNT belt needs resizing. Darbs can use that thing like a Capt. American shield.

Britt's scan actually looks decent compared to reference photos. But they totally botched the paintjob on the face. It's not a bad representation of Britt from the indies where she wore less makeup, but nothing like her current look. It's that kind of glaring oversight when they're great about attention to detail in other areas that is so frustrating.
Especially on a figure that Jeremy has essentially been hyping and playing up on social media for months.

A scan can map every feature to a tee, but that can be a fault if it results in a look not so flattering.

Britt's scan is questionable at best, I hope it's better in person, but I'm a bit disappointed because she was my most wanted of the set. I've seen leaks of the figure in hand (non studio shot) and the figure does honestly look way better. The official photo they're using does the figure no justice. It doesn't help that the photographer looks like he was sent a figure with awful paint application on her face. With that being said, I can't help but feel a little underwhelmed with the series as a whole. My main issue is it really does look like Jazwares are starting to cut a few corners on the smaller details that they got so so right in series 2-5. Jake Hager having no knee pads in series 6, Shida not having a Kendo Stick in series 6 (I get it was likely a cost issue but personally the Kendo stick is more important to her as a character then recycling the god awful women's title they're using). The renders showing Dax Harwood from series 7 having re-used boots instead of his own authentic molded parts and now with Unmatched Series 1... The detailing on Miro's boots just isn't existent. The figure is based off his debut singles match against Trent, Miro had a camo design running over his boots and in the figure they're lazily all black. Also we were told that Unmatched would feature wrestlers lower on the card that they didn't feel would sell too well in Unrivaled. Right out of the gate we get 4 characters that have already been featured in Unrivaled :/.

Like it kinda looks like Britt (specifically indies Britt) but the lack of makeup and aesthetics really hurt the overall head IMO. I actually wonder if this Britt scan dates from the beginning of AEW (remember Britt was one of the original names in the press release) and Jazzwares sat on it because of her heel turn then the "angle" with Jeremy, saving it for Unmatched 1 to maximize buzz.

I guess this means the red LJN Cody is an exclusive of some sort

I only pre-ordered Kenny and Darby and not surprisingly they are easily the 2 standouts of the set.
Britts scan is definitely a bummer, definitely brings down the figure overall. Miro looks so far off and the attire is very blah. Dustin looks okay but the height seems unchanged and unless you really love the blue attire its not a must.
The LJN is what it is, if you're into collecting them then you'll probably want this figure. As much as I love this line I have to say after Series 4 and 5 were both grand slams, series 6 and Unmatched 1 have been more like base hits. Hopefully its just a blip and they get back on track.

Oof, that Britt has some problems. I think a lot of people might be disappointed in that. On the bright side, that Omega looks fantastic. Maybe the best headsculpt they've done? I don’t see anything wrong with Britt besides the scan. Maybe they could’ve made better lockjaw hands tho but other than that I got nothing Kenny’s Unrivaled 4 scan is still his best but this one is good too. UR4 is very much a babyface scan and this one looks like his transitioning period from All Out to Revolution. He’ll get a billion figures so expect wacky heel scans eventually The Britt scan is bad, but the joint pegs are also really clumsy here. I'm always really hit or miss on double-jointed elbows in particular and their effect on sculpt, but these strike me as really ugly.

The Kenny scan is bad too. It looks as much like Hangman as it does Kenny. This is a rough set. Worse than the Hager set imo. Which makes it the worst to-date imo. I’m going to cancel my Britt and Kenny. Really disappointing that it feels like we’re going backwards.

I want to like the Kenny scan, but the redish brown hair colour and it looking like Old Man Kenny throw it off for me.

I think Kenny and Darby look awesome.
I really wish they’d given Miro chest hair. Looks odd without it. Hopefully they’ll add that for future figures including Mox.
Disappointing Dustin’s height wasn’t fixed but I like the gear more than his previous figure

Does Britt Baker even wear her hair like that? She used to in her indie and early AEW says, which is another reason I suspect they've been sitting on this head for a while.
