Only ones that have been made so far to my knowledge are Owen Hart, Jericho and upcoming CM Punk. Don't know how deep they are going to go with this. Figures that would be awesome are Dustin Rhodes (early 90s WCW look)
Jeff Jarrett TNA 2002 look
Taz early ECW look when he was wild man Sting (some attire when he was younger TNA or when he was Warriors tag partner)
Christian Cage TNA
Paul Wight 2007 indy look
Jeff Hardy TNA debut
Christopher Daniels ROH
Matt Hardy ROH Sure there will be legal issues with some of this stuff but you get the rough idea.

They have no rights to TNA looks and Impact probably isn't up for playing nice with AEW any time soon. They could squeak by using appearances of those people in other places while they were in TNA, I believe Christian and Hardy made appearances in ROH during their TNA time but Jarrett and Sting have never set foot in ROH. They could also make things like an ROH Joe, Lethal, Daniels, etc in gear they also wore in TNA.

I'm also curious how deep of a catalogue they can actually have since so much of wrestling history is under the WWE umbrella right now. I imagine the looks and all that fall under IP owned by WWE.

They have plenty of options they just choose not to exercise them and or have burned the bridges that would allow them.

If memory serves, these were designed to be an 'every other wave' thing, alternating with the retro figures. We had Sting in Wave 2, Jericho in Wave 4, and now Owen in Wave 6, and ideally still ROH Punk in Wave 8. I would not be surprised if they changed it to ROH figures moving forward. We can then do ROH versions of Brian Danielson, Samoa Joe, Jay Lethal, Christopher Daniels, Matt Hardy, and eventually when/if ROH takes off again, they could do current ROH wrestlers.
But, ideally we still get prior looks to current wrestlers in the line somewhere - Natural Dustin Rhodes is sorely needed.

Tbh,I'm starting to lose hope that were ever get a Surfer Sting in the line,so at this point ill take any attire he's worn in AEW. He's always been my favorite,so any figure is better then no figure for me.

TNA made this figure prowrestling.fandom.com/wiki/Sting_(Legends_of_the_Ring)?file=LegendsOfTheRingSting.jpg[\img] WWE had WCW rights at time. Doesn't mean AEW will do it but more info.

Your best hope is they do a look from a NJPW tour, but then you'd have to ask NJPW for permission and probably have to pay them.

Notice the logo on the bottom right of the card. They made a deal with the NWA to get this done, AEW/Jazzwares would have to ask Billy Corgan for permission and he certainly isn't giving it to them for free.

We've been down this road. This most likely has a lot more to do with Jazwares' risk tolerance than what they legally can or cannot make. PWT put out an AEW branded Surfer Sting in two different gears and has done quite a few different Surfer Sting related tshirts and merch releases.

Sucks that Sting is such a legend and has been wrestling since the 80’s and over the last 15 years we’ve gotten maybe one great quality figure.
