Every Moxley figure has been bad except the Chase from series 5. Iβm waiting for a Supreme thatβs hopefully decent. The Blood and Guts isnβt bad either I guess. Only one with taped fists which I think he should still do. I thought Ambrose looked cool, and wondered what made Moxley look so bland, and it was the fist tape.

Time for some Cowboy Champ ShtWal Mart Hangman Pagemy wal mart was stocked up with these Hangmen figures long before the exclusive Punks showed up, so i took advantage and scooped up one. This is a cool Hangman figure. i almost think that i like the idea of Exclusive figures being streetgear / promo gear figures. save the mainline spots for all ring gear and then have exclusives be clothed? i dunno could be a cool thought. Either way, this Hangman Adam Page figure does come to us wearing similar gear to a previously released mainline figure, but the colors and patterns featured are different on this figure. This Hangman is wearing some denim blue jeans with a big fat buckle, Ostrich leather Boots, and a really stylish Western style floral button-down shirt. the headsculpt on this figure looks good, its a smiling babyface adam page- i think the likeness could be a tad bit better on this sculpt however. i like the way that they sculpted the hair on this figure, it does feel very BCA-esque in design---wait thats it, as a matter of fact this entire head reminds me of a BCA figure. i really like the shirt and the floral designs; there is a unique mint-green color that is dominant in the stems of the plants and etc, but also little red and white flowers are scattered throughout. i even like how they squeezed some on the wrists of the shirt. all of the designs and paint apps were applied cleanly and crisply to my figure. for accessories we got a new AEW championship, interchangeable hands and a new pitcher and glass. the pitcher and glass are molded out of clear plastic this time and they look fantastic! i honestly have the real life counterparts in my kitchen as we speak π€£ all in all i would recommend picking up this adam page figure from Wal Mart. the shirt designs are different enough from the unmatched 4 figure and they really pop. i think its super cool to have figures not in ring gear for photography and promo segments.

John Silvertoday we continue filling out the Dark Order lineup with Johnny Hungie himself, John Silver. i watch AEW Dark religiously, mr silver makes regular appearances on that platform so im no stranger to his abilities and antics. this figure comes to us with two interchangeable heads, one smiling and excited, and the second a more subdued, serious expression-- they both look great and do capture Johnny's likeness however i do feel like they suffer from 'anime eye' syndrome really badly. this figure comes to us wearing his long dark order entrance coat, which although it is made from the repulsive rubber, i will allow it in this case it it looks great on the figure and doesnt hinder articulation. this figure is scaled appropriately, Johnny is a stout man and i feel like the proportions on this figure look just fine for his stature, however i do kinda wish his biceps were larger as it is a defining characteristic of the man's physique. beyond all that, Johnny is wearing dark order purple colored trunks with his logo on the back, dark order logo kneepad and black kickpads. i really like the sculpting on johnny's kickpads they look great, just hope they opt to use this mold frequently and not the sammy geuvara style boot things. all in all this John Silver figure is really cool. it was a great addition to the Dark Order wave that we were treated to and honestly i think this figure of John will hold up for quite some time.

Unmatched series 4 Cody Rhodesnot gonna lie i really only bought this figure as it was on sale for black friday/cyber monday for like $5 π this is a pretty cool figure, we get a trenchcoated Cody Rhodes in a dark navy blue suit. This figure comes with two interchangeable heads, one that a smiling, laughing head and the other and angry, shouting head. both of the heads look pretty good, i certainly see Cody in the likeness of the sculpts when i look at the figure. if you for some reason dont like the renchcoat look, you unfortunately cannot really remove the jacket part and make it look like a normal suit, the sleeves are too baggy and dont match the rest of the outfit--however the trenchcoat was sculpted great and fits the figure really well. Cody is wearing a dark blue vest and has a purplish colored tie with a white undershirt- all very classy. Cody is wearing suit pants on this figure and clay colored loafer shoes. im not entirely sure that the lower leg articulation was needed on this suited figure, but they gave him shin rotation. all in all this is a great suited figure for fantasy booking potentially, he could be used as a manager or authority figure in your fed, or even just still be used as a dapper Cody Rhodes. its not a bad figure by any means, but not something really exciting for AEW fans as the release of this figure came after his departure from the company.

bringing in an edition of SHE SLAYS SUNDAYS today Unmatched 4 Jade Cargilli was super hype for a Jade figure, im a huge fan of her work and her look. this figure came out looking really great! the headsculpt looks amazing, i can see Jade in the likeness immediately, they gave Jade a sort of confident, smirking, raised eyebrow "whatchu gonna do?" kinda expression and it works for her and looks great. accompanying her confident expression is her signature white hair. Jade is wearing a really cool gold shard attire, i really dig it but wouldve preferred her turquiose attire of something that popped a bit more--but this figure looks great in the gold color. Jazwares did a great job capturing Jade's physique and stature, her abs are really popping, but i think the waist articulation was done a little strangley where they kinda just put the articulation above her belly button. going down the figure, Jade is weraing matching gold shatter kneepads with a silver JADE logo centered up and some tall boots. all in all this is an amazing figure for Jade's debut into the line. she poses great, her body sculpting is on point and the headsculpt looks really on point. my only comlaint-if any are just that i feel like the gold is a bit of a boring color, but she has a few more figures out now in more vibrant looks.

πππ§¨ππ²ππ Happy 4th of July πππ§¨ππ²ππ Unmatched 5 Bryan Danielsonbringing in the AMERICAN DRAGON for the 4th of July today! this was the Dragon's first AEW figure and appearance in the Jazwares line. this is a really good figure when examined on its own, but when comparing it to other figures, there seem to be some scaling issues with Bryan. this figure comes with two interchangeable heads, both very serious and intense, but one is a neat pre-match Danielson with his topknot and serious face, and the second is a mid/post-match aggressive Danielson bearing teeth, almost in a shouting expression with unkempt hair. they both bear a great likeness to Bryan, however i like the shouting headsculpt much better, it looks GREAT! going down the figure, Jazwares seems to give most superstars their own unique torso molds and i sadly feel like the pecs/chest on this Dragon figure are wayy too big--when you extend the arms upward, they look too short because his upper torso is scaled too big. Bryan is wearing some classic red colored trunks with silver flame and scale designs on the front and back, the colorscheme continues onto his kneepads and kickpads, with the kickpads featuring Dragons and scales on the front. all in all this is a great debut figure for the American Dragon into the jazwares line. there are a few things id like to see them tweak as far as scaling and proportioning to get the next figure correct, but the included headsculpts and attire look really cool. cant wait for a BCC era Danielson to kick our mf heads in next

I don't know if you're aware, but Red Velvet has another tattoo on her shoulder blade. I still haven't pulled the trigger on that Cargill - even at sale prices.

Man, Penelope really turned out great. I just get the male wrestlers, but I may pick up Penelope to go with Kip, and I have been considering getting Bunny to go with Butcher and Blade when they all go up for pre order.

Man, Penelope really turned out great. I just get the male wrestlers, but I may pick up Penelope to go with Kip, and I have been considering getting Bunny to go with Butcher and Blade when they all go up for pre order. im definitely getting a Bunny to go with Butcher and Blade π°πͺ Unmatched 4 MJFcoming in today is Mr. Maxwell Jacob Freidman wearing his purple Pinnacle gear from unmatched series 4. this is a pretty standard MJF figure; they decided to try a new headsculpt on this figure and it kinda sort misses the mark a bit. they sculpted in a beard/neckbeard on MJF and i think it looks a little too thick, almost like an abraham lincoln bears, but MJF kept his facial hair pretty clean and short. Upper body features MJF's lion tattoo on his right arm and hebrew scrips on his left rib. he came to the ring wearing a white elbow pad on his left arm featuring a black MJF logo and wrapped left fist. this MJF is wearing white trunks with purple and gold lion designs on the front and a purple and gold MJF logo on the back. going down the figure, they painted on MJF's kneewraps and gave him short white kneepads over the top, and lastly he is sporting some black boots. all in all this is a pretty decent MJF figure, i like that they released the entire Pinnacle team in the purple and white colors as well as the inner circle in their jumpsuits from the match. the only complaint i have with this figure is the headsculpt, i think the beard sculpting is a bit overdone--but i can still see MJFs likeness in the face so its not a horrific offering, just a little inaccurate.

Unrivaled 9 Ricky StarksRo-Sham-Bo'ing into the reviews today is Starkybaby himself, the ABSOLUTE Ricky Starks. the headsculpt on this figure is great; i can absolutely see Ricky in the likeness, he is giving a sort of disgusted, heel face with a raised eyebrow and it looks great. Ricky was given a silver chain and it looks pretty good on the figure, its a solid molded piece so it has that kindof floating look, but beyond giving him an actual chain theres no avoiding that. i like the body recipe for this figure; Ricky is a slim athletic dude and it comes across well in his figure. Ricky was given some open hands for re-creating his Absolute pose and they look great and the figure achieves the pose well. this figure was given a small black elbowpad for his left arm and wristguards that match his attire. speaking of attire, this Starks is wearing awesome looking metallic teal and yellow trunks. the trunks feature and RS logo on the front, chains on the sides and a STARKS logo on the back all in yellow; the designs look great and contrast the teal really well. Ricky is wearing black kneesleeves that are painted on and small kneepads over them that match his trunks. finally this figure is sporting some black boots with white 'spat' designs on the toe heel and back of the boot. all in all this Ricky Starks figure looks awesome! the headsculpt bears a great likeness to him, the body recipe looks good, the attire really pops, and the figure poses really well. id recommend picking up this guy if not for the sake that its just an all around great figure!
