To everyone complaining:
If ROH flashback figs were mass-produced in full retail qualities, they would've rotted pegs worse than the NXT flashbacks of Reigns and Rusev. Online exclusive is the way to go, and I think 1/5000 could be the perfect balance. I've been dying for an ROH figure line for a decade now but there isn't gonna be huge mass appeal for this stuff. 1000 would be too tough, 3000 would make 'em tough but doable, and 5000 we all shouldn't have any problem getting them. The ShopAEW figs are 3,000 and once the hype died down they're easily available and up for weeks at a time.
We're getting classic ROH figs. At the end of the day, this is a good thing!

5000 sucks, but it might be doable. We’re just going to have to stay on top of those preorder days. Some will be easier than others, but I dread the anxiety of Briscoes day. God help me if I’m not somewhere with high speed internet that day.
I’m still pissed about the Bunny; even with the hints of a rerelease. But at least there’s SOME semblance of a plan. And if it falls apart on day one, we’ll all be here to yell about it for no one to read.

I have a feeling some will be classic and some will be current like Danhausen he is current and looks like Mark and Jay will be current look too.

The problem I have with it is that they decided to put a number on their figures which makes them limited and if you want the figures you now have that FOMO feeling which I really dislike. If they were to go with a 1 month open pre order or what Mattel is doing IMO it would be better. Plus most of their AEW shop exclusives have been a repackage of previous figures with a new shirt or accessories compared to a first timers like the Bunny and ROH flashbacks it is a different story. Knowing Jazzwares track record alone put doubts in my mind that this will be an easy way to get these figures.

they showed supreme 4 punk months back with dog collar shorts and jacket and brawl out white gear. No they didn’t show what gear the other legs were. I think it’s gonna be the red trunks from the Punk/Moxley vs FTR match or the Sting Clash 1 tribute tights. They revealed it before All Out 2022 happened so it’s not gonna be that unless they changed it the render image they showed doesn’t have knee pads just like his unmatched figure that had the long tights. But we’ll see… Soon.

The ShopAEW figures that didn’t sell out were female repaints and male rereleases. Jericho & MJF were new attires and went immediately, and Moxley was a big enough name that he sold fast despite being similar to his first figure Perhaps 5000 would be enough but advertising how limited they are makes them scalper bait. And an ROH Danielson could easily move way more units than that.

And yes, classic ROH figs! Amazing time to be a collector.

So what happens when they sell 5000 and 200 are missing because they were stolen from the factory? "Stolen from the factory" "In Jeremy's garage"
Listen, he's just trying to figure out how he can get them on the blockchain.

Those Bucks look like they’re missing Bullet Club logos?
Weird, AEW definitely has permission to use Bullet Club stuff. Are they leaving BC references off so they don’t have to give NJPW a cut on figures?
(I will add that if they are it’s not a big deal because they’d be easy decals)

"Made to order" means a company starts making the product after all orders are in so they what quantities to make. By this definition the Jazwares Vault isn't genuinely "made to order" since they have already limited the production run to 5000.
If it weren't for the Bunny debacle, I would be more receptive to this idea, especially if the Vault could be an avenue to get deep cuts like Emi Sakura and Angelico in the line. If I am able to simply order Bunny from Jazwares at a reasonable retail price then I will eat my words. As it stands I still feel bamboozled.

Wait, did I miss something about The Bunny figure? What's going on? She was supposed to be a part of her wave normally. But now as preorders open they announced that she won’t be a part of the standard wave, but is now the chase. That means you can’t order her anywhere and have to either be incredibly lucky to find her at retail or pay more than double the retail price on eBay. There was a panel on Saturday where Jeremy implied that fans might get a 2nd chance at getting a Bunny figure through Jazwares Vault; their version of Mattel Creations.

A much better solution to The Bunny situation would to just run her as a collectors edition, like how Mattel did Chief Jay Strongbow, Mae Young, British Bulldog, etc.

Yeah he probably said that so people would stop bitching right now, I have about as much faith in that happening as MDT Bill finally giving Honky Tonk Man his belt
