Out of a one hour Jazwares panel, I'd say the over/under for time spent on AEW might be 7-10 minutes. Their line is obviously not a priority to them nor retailers, so I am not banking on it getting much time.
But dude, maximize your minutes here. Jazwares needs to show up.
Show Supreme CM Punk. Turn some heads. Generate some interest in this dying line.

I don't expect much from Jazwares anymore. The most convenient way for me to get my hands on their product is through RSC. They continue to play this "Chase" game, making purchasing the product I want almost impossible at a reasonable rate.

Unless you order from RSC it's nearly impossible to find any AEW figures at retail let alone chases. Unless you want Nyla Rose, Jade Cargill, or Hangman.

I just don't know anymore. At one time I was so hyped for this line. Anyone remember when sets would go up for preorder and be on backorder minutes later?
Here we are. Going on 8 months into 2023 and there have been 0 new sets at retail. Most of the older sets have ended up at discount stores with figures as low as $5. Just sad and not a good look. How am I supposed to be excited for new product when figures I paid full price for not even a year ago, are rotting for $6 at my local Burlington? Devalued the line to me.
I don't even count these lame exclusives. Wardlow, MJF and Adam Cole are straight up repaints thrown in a new box with a little sticker. Reminds me of the Jakks days and not in a good way. Sigh.

They have made the biggest blunder ever with that Allie Bunny figure. Total madness.

I don't even count these lame exclusives. Wardlow, MJF and Adam Cole are straight up repaints thrown in a new box with a little sticker. Reminds me of the Jakks days and not in a good way. Sigh. To say it's been frustrating is an understatement. The first two waves were exceptional, imo, despite the issues each had. The double jointed elbows and articulation felt like a big step forward. The soft goods were amazing. And it was a fresh, exciting character selection. The waves were selling through like crazy, discussion was active here, and I felt like things would only go up from there. And here we are. It was always given that the shine would wear off a bit. But this feels like a self-inflicted wound from Jazwares. Too many quality issues. Too many distribution issues. The figure quality is going backwards, not forwards. Softgoods are almost gone entirely, and their big, bulky rubber jackets are terrible. And they shuffle lineups around like they're a deck of cards. It's not helped by AEW - pushes haven't been consistent or fell flat, contract lengths seem inconsistent and not figure-friendly, and there's a large roster that is constantly growing. Something needs to change, but all recent signs point to things continuing to go in the wrong direction for my collecting preferences.

The AEW section was fairly short, but there were some new reveals
CM Punk Supreme Walmart Exclusive Death Triangle 3 pack
ROH line: Claudio with bald and long hair heads American Dragon Cleaner Kenny Omega Danhausen
2 Packs: Briscoes Young Bucks Cole/O'Riley
Jeremy said they would be doing made to order figures for talent who aren't a fit at retail through their direct to consumer platform. He made bunny ears while saying that, so we may see a repaint of Allie surface there.

Jeremy is full of 💩 just like always. He talks a big game but can’t deliver when it comes to AEW.
