I tend to be an optimist when it comes to figures and reveals but yeesh, this was so disappointing

Jazwares ing sucks man. So does Jeremy. I never understood the theory that Jeremy has (and I think he got this from Todd Mcfarlane) about banking so much on the chase/rare figures. I am fine with it if it is something like X wrestler in different colored trunks, etc, but to make whole characters like Bunny and now Abadon as a chase figure in itself, just doesn't make sense to me. Unless they are going to re-release them at a mass release down the road to get their money out of the tooling, it just doesn't make sense to me. Plus, (in my opinion, but I suspect in the minds of a lot of people), once you get to a point where you cannot get every wrestler, people are going to lose interest overall. It is one thing to miss out on Wardlow in blue trunks instead of purple trunks, but is another thing to have the Butcher and the Blade, but not be able to get the Bunny to go along with them. I just don't get the 'company plan' to have your chase figures create 'buzz' around a figure line to boost sales - it just doesn't work. I don't get it.

I used to sit back and just read the comments in these threads before I decided to start posting myself and I’ve literally seen die hard AEW figure collectors turn on the same company they’ve spent thousands of dollars on because of all the chase and rare nonsense. You would think that the people over at Jazwares would get a clue but they don’t. They’re literally killing the interest in the line.

Hangman is the same number as Jamie Mattel can’t see proper colors and Jazwares can’t count lmao Edit: I misread.

I’m not surprised at the lack of Abadon, they’ve barely been on TV and the last time was ages ago, but I’m bummed that Hangman seems to have been removed as well. The last figure in ring gear we got from him was long before he even won the title. It’s crazy we haven’t had at least a couple more since then. The first two attempts left plenty of room for improvement, too.

Scalpers gonna Scalp. plus i am under the impression that in order to make them hot, someone out there working for some company, places people to buy them and resell them, so that places like Ringside they end up being no 1 best sellers. I can see TK doing that. IMO

So like where is ABADON? that’s the figure I was truly waiting on as it would’ve been a great figure IMO, just hoping it’s not a case that she’s been cancelled but instead moved to another line, I just don’t understand why THE BUNNY is CHASE ONLY? Makes no sense for a first time figure.

I was really excited for the Thunder Rosa supreme but it seems like that’s not happening anymore so I’ll probably just need to pick up the blood and guts Rosa
