Why doesn’t AEW’s toyline have anything toyetic like what WWE makes? Nobody is going to buy a Nyla Rose figure or civilian gear Hangman Page.

Toyetic, beyond being a dumb industry word that people way overuse now, is relative. I can name numerous "bland" Mattel figures and numerous "toyetic" AEW figures.

If you want Jazwares to make glitzy-looking Miz and Logan Paul type figures ... you're shopping in the wrong place. Also, they have plenty that are toyetic. This is a troll attempt right?

I may be alone, but the Hangman in his cowboy outfit is my favorite Hangman figure.

They have a ton of toyetic attires! The LUCHA Bros Ultimates, house of black, upcoming thunder Rosas just to name a few

I hate the phrase toyetic it literally just means detailed costumes and pretty colors

Regardless of company, they're working with what the talent/company give them. WWE has decades of bright, lively attires to draw upon. A lot of the recent NXT wrestlers also look like generic CAWs. So it goes both ways.
Too many wrestlers in general wear predominantly black attires, and some longtime AEW could definitely benefit from refreshing their look. I think Jazwares should get some criticism for doing too many black/white attires. Andrade or Private Party could have been in more colorful gear. I it's far from the biggest issue the line is dealing with right now.

I feel like they do just as much color and attire detail than Mattel, sometimes more or less. But it mainly depends on character depth capabilities.
If Mattel has 300 characters under a license then odds are they’re gonna have more toyetic figures on average than a company with maybe 100, if that. AEW could have many more names but a lot of those names are peg rotting candidates.

Let’s be honest AEW let their most toyetic wrestler go and he’s been in the WWE for two years now.

Honestly, I’m glad Jazwares can’t pump out any more Codys. He was never my guy and I still ended up with 7 or 8 of his figures. I remember when his TNT title figure came out and thinking, ok this is my definitive Cody because I loved that gear. And then he busted out the Homelander coat.

I don’t think Penta’s figures have been all that visually impressive. His first one has been his best looking one. Sting’s have been pretty toyetic for a basic black and white figure, but they still haven’t given us a tshirt less one. There’s a couple others too, but Cody’s figures all pop on the shelf even the all black series 4(?).

The sample size isn’t exactly fair, but the Supreme Penta is just as eye catching as the Supreme Cody.

The sample size isn’t exactly fair, but the Supreme Penta is just as eye catching as the Supreme Cody. All Cody’s figures were eye catching and stand out on display shelves because of all the colors of the attires. Color wise the Supreme Penta is his most toyetic figure, but personally I’m not a fan of the jacket and head gear. I wouldn’t display those on it. Yes, Penta is a wrestler whose figures are toyetic displayed on their own. But his figures don’t stand out on display shelves because a majority of the AEW figures are released in primarily black attires. So while Sting, Penta, Fenix and Luchasaurus are all toyetic figures on their own those figures/attires gets lost on the shelves. At least Fenix and Luchasaurus wear attires where the primary color isn’t black so they have a better chance of standing out on a display shelf.

Surely you’re not talking about Cody, he’s only been back for 14 months not two years 😉 and still had the Supremes and Unmatched 4 come out after the fact.

This is a wrestling board where years are counted by WrestleManias. So…Two WrestleManias = 2 Years. And yes those figures came out after, but his figures were still the most toyetic in the AEW lines. With the exception of the one in black tights all his figure attires were colors that popped.

Pretty much every Kenny and every set of Bucks has been pretty "toyetic" IMO. (Especially if the Kenny Supreme is displayed in the second set of gear)
