These... don't look good. Better than the McGregor proto from a few months ago, but still pretty bad.
Hopefully they can work on the heads a bit more and get better likenesses for the next few series.
The tights/shorts look good though.

I really hope that in the second series they look much better and improve the opaque belt. I hope they give news on sdcc and show prototypes as they will see with the new scale and the scanned faces. very excited.

I honestly didn't know that was Cerrone, until I noticed the Play time", on his legs. That face is not good. Cormier has cankles.

Like I said to a friend after these pics were released, I can see why Magic was pissed.

The base bodies themselves look promising. The butterfly joints are well integrated and not distracting like Jakks’ UFC offerings back in the day. The diaphragm joints aren’t eyesores like Matty’s Ultimate Editions.
I don’t mind the cloth shorts, but they definitely gotta hem the edges especially the waistband.
Once these are scaled up & actual face scans / face printing is implemented, they can take my money.

I like these beta figures but honestly one thing I dislike about these Matty, Jakks, Jazwares figs is they tend to go for the cartoon musculature and usually overcompensate making guys Like Jon Jones look muscle bound when in fact he's got wide shoulders with a lanky physique. As a collector if you're looking for real scan heads might as well get real scan bodies or bodies that come as close as possible to the actual fighter themselves.

Broke down and got Jones, max, and 2 conor.
Likely gonna get dc and khabib eventually. Cowboy feels so out of place in this lineup. Dont know that I'll ever need him unless it goes cheap
Now I'm REALLY gonna need stipe, ngannou, reem, cain, Liddell, rumble, Whittaker, Silva, gsp, Aldo, rampage, Nunes, Tate...way too many

In the immediate future of course. But long term, if this line hopefully continues, you never know.

What do you think will be able to reveal in sdcc in home or what fighters can really be included in the next series? Will 2 series be revealed?

We should see some stuff from this series at SDCC. A medium size scale octagon would be a nice addition. The Jakks figures will be probably get a resurgence with these coming out. Jeremy can do wonders with certain toy lines. The biggest obstacle is getting placement in stores, stores keeping up with the series, not dropping the line after 1 or 2 planogram changes. TRU and K-Mart were the big carriers of the line. Target bailed after series 3 they carried 0,1,2,3. Wal-Mart went to series 4. K-Mart kept it going with the exclusives

I pre-ordered Conor and then Cowboy with the black hat. I would have bought the whole wave, but I don't want to just end up rebuying everything once we get the scan versions. I'm mostly interested in Legends out of this line; Urijah, Tito, Matt Hughes, Rampage, Forrest, both Shamrocks, BJ. Any of the more regular WEC guys, really. I'll for sure get guys like Bones and DC when we get the scan versions of them.

That'd be a roadblock for sure. It's weird how they've never said specifically what lead to their beef anyway.

Besides them being by Jazwares what do these have to do with AEW?

I’ve been talking to magic on Instagram and he said the contract situation is kind of tricky. They intend on doing legends but some current fighters apparently don’t even have contracts for them to make merch or figures. Not sure how they are doing things now but it sounds like it’s different than the way jakks used to do things contractually anyways.

Not sure how they are doing things now but it sounds like it’s different than the way jakks used to do things contractually anyways. Cody said in an interview that they basically forgot to have any merch clauses included in the AEW contracts until the very last minute. For all of WWE's faults, they have had a well oiled merch machine for 30+ years. I think it's easy for us as collectors to assume that other companies operate the same way. It's probably pretty tough contractually, since a lot of older fighters still actively take fights in smaller promotions. Hopefully they can get things worked out. I think ultimately a successful line is going to need a mix of stars, up and coming fighters, and legends.
