The title will be updated in a few days to avoid spoiling things for people. If you haven’t seen Dynamite this week then read no further

Are we one big step closer to having Jazwares produce NJPW figures? If so, who would you want to see first? Pretend they can do 2 series (6 figures each). Let’s f’n go!

If Super 7 still has the New Japan license, Jazwares cant make them.

No we’re not, with how much New Japan dicked around with super7 and made everything difficult and take forever you think they’re just gonna hand the license to another American wrestling promotion?

Oh, we weren’t aware that you had inside knowledge of the contract status between New Japan and Super7. |

That isn’t helping your case.

I think *if* it ever happened, which looks to be very unlikely, it'd be 1 figure per regular wave - pending sign off from NJPW etc (which seems to be the overall issue).
*IF* that was the case, I'd happily take it.

I wouldn't count on it. I don't have the source right on hand, so don't come at me for muh insider information, but there has been a lot of talk regarding NJPW being notoriously difficult to work with in the past, at least in regard to this sort of merchandising.
I'd buy them - at least depending on who they could make - but I'm certainly not going on product reveal/pre-order watch anytime soon.
Just based on historical context, my guess is that Jazwares' access is limited to those talents who have signed contracts with AEW, i.e. have gotten their Talen Name Here is #AllElite graphic.

Fair enough. And I don’t dispute that NJPW have been difficult in the past…but New Japan is not a person. Different people have come and gone so there might be a different mindset and strategy with each one. Hell, NJPW has been heavily damaged due to the pandemic so their stance on generating revenue might have shifted a bit. Seeing them work with AJPW, NOAH, Impact, and now AEW in such rapid succession leads me to believe they are becoming more open. It isn’t a definitive sign but it is a possibility.

Somehow I must have missed the thread? It’s in the other brands section. Basically there was a ton of stuff with the pandemic and then New Japan kept refusing to give approval of the figure designs, and then there was some sort of defect with some of the hands. I don’t remember all of it but I remember the entire thread being very negative and everyone was unhappy |

No.
AEW is their own thing. NJPW is their own thing. Sure, they're working together a bit. AEW got Jazwares to make their figures. Jazwares has nothing to do with NJPW.

Somehow I must have missed the thread? I think this poster is confused. There was speculation based on very vague comments from Super7 that were never elaborated on. Super7 has had a whole mess of issues and it seems unlikely that it is solely the fault of the people making the approvals (regardless of how hard they were to deal with). The hands issue was a minor one (each figure missing a type of hand pose/grip). They did correct that but I struggle to see how that would be the fault of NJPW over Super7. As far as burning other bridges? I haven’t heard much of that since Inoki left ages ago. Depending upon who you believe, TNA is responsible for the unpleasant relationship with NJPW (I would believe that). The oooonly vendor related complaint I’ve heard in recent years about NJPW was that they were difficult in regards to having replica belts made. Pretty sure Beltfandan is on these forums under a different name but either way, he could elaborate on the history more than I can. |
