I think the MJF coat is a weird choice, it makes the figure look massive. I really think they should have went for a fabric jacket, might not be as detailed but jesus I'd hate to have that displayed like that.

Not dismissing secondwhiteline's answer. It was a good response with good points. I just want to add my 2 cents. How important is buzz? I mean isn't it all just hot air and a bunch of talk? I just think AEW figures are selling and that's the main thing. Don't get it twisted, I enjoy coming to the boards and discussing wrestling figures and it would be nice if some of these pics were officially released but it's not the be all and end all. Also, to be honest, I'm kind of glad the Jazzwares board doesn't have as many threads as the Mattel board. Have you read some of those threads. Although, if we want more threads, isn't that on us to create more. It's been a while since we had a wishlist/predict the next set thread. Or what do you want the next RSC exclusive is going to be. Maybe it's just AEW fans are in general lazier/calmer than WWE fans. 
Buzz is just a way of saying, "fan energy that creates purchasing habits." I think the thing people are concerned about is that long gaps between releases are going to get people out of that habit, especially now that the line's no longer novel. A figure company never wants people wondering "Do I really need this?" and the easiest way to keep people from asking that question is to just keep releasing stuff. If you don't have that capacity, you have three options: 1) release product so good that it's irresistible, 2) keep diversifying your offerings and surprising people with new concepts, and/or 3) keep people involved with your release process so that they're always engaged with the next release despite the wait. I don't think Jazwares is within sight of achieving the first; they're clearly interested in the second, judging by releases like the LJN figures; and the third is the most achievable with the least investment.
I don't think there's a significant gap here between the people buying AEW and WWE stuff; the Mattel board's just more active because they release so much more. But even with that in mind, it merits some concern that people are so jaded about a wave that has 4 line debuts of featured AEW talent, or that people aren't bothering to make wishlist threads.
You took the words out of my mouth... "I think the thing people are concerned about is that long gaps between releases are going to get people out of that habit, especially now that the line's no longer novel. "

I like that he is coming with an alternate head, but the smaller size (at least it looks smaller) of the upper body/torso on that Wardlow is concerning.
