Awesome so in scale then? Very much so. I just got in an AJ Styles that came with that title. They look really good side by side. I also compared the Bubbly Jericho to the Elite ones and you could barely tell the difference. |

Just got the full set delivered.
The skin tones look fine, in-person, and the disparity between torso and chest is little, or not noticeable at all, at least on mine.
No stains on mine, either, other than some faint white scuff on one of Cody's legs. Barely noticeable, though.

Some of the better action figures i’ve ever owned in my opinion and i’ve been collecting since 2005. Not even a huge AEW fan at all but they are spectacular.

Not series 1 (as I'm in the uk, not out here yet!) But pulled the trigger on the bubbly Jericho back order!
Kicking myself that I didn't do it sooner!!

Mine came in today. The quality of the Bucks jackets is unreal for the price point of these figures. I'm thrilled with just how easy part swaps are going to be with these guys. Probably just going to slowly run out my stock of spare mattel parts and eventually as these get easier to find buy a bunch of extras to use for customs. They're so much easier to swap things on. A torso swap is literally a 5 second process. Unreal.
I love the torso's and the waists. They are going to be great for fig photography. Honestly the skin tone looks fine to me, it's definitely pale, but whatever, it's not that bad really. I don't think they look cheap at all personally. They feel less cheap than mattels to me. I dunno, maybe that's just me but I'm pretty impressed by the quality.
Overall I'm pretty darn happy with these. Worth the wait for me. Excited for the scale ring in a few weeks!
Oh, and I echo the comment about the young bucks jackets. Be careful removing the plastic, seems like it'd be easy to rip the stitching. I took a small hobby knife and carefully cut the plastic away personally. Maybe I could have just ripped it off, but I didn't want to take any chances, those jackets are too nice.
I think the only negative for me is that the legs don't have quite the range of motion forward I would like. That's a pretty minor issue though, it's worse than the best mattels for leg motion, and better than the worst mattels.

Just got my set from Ringside. They look nice with the Mattel figures IMO. Cody's rubber belt was hard to pop on, but everything else was great. I was worried about stains after reading other posts, but all of my figures came in mint condition. The belts I have on them are customs until I get actual versions of them.  |

^^ yeah Cody's belt was a pain. I took the torso off, did the belt up and slid in on his waist then reattached the torso. The belt was kinda set up where if you get it through you can tighten it a bit and it seems to stay on well.

Got my Kenny, Cody and Bucks today. Still very happy with these figures, but my Kenny came with an incredibly loose torso at the waist. I managed to mostly fix the issue by putting some of the plastic they use to separate accessories around the peg on his waist. Seems like, on my figure, they made the hole connecting his waist and torso slightly too wide.

I got mine in today! Incredibly satisfied with the quality of these. The articulation is way above and beyond Elites. The accessories are great: even Jericho and Kenny’s jackets have a bit more flexibility than Mattel’s plastic.
The skintones don’t bother me a lot but it’s pretty noticeable on Kenny given his tights are also way darker than they should be which is a bummer since I really like that attire.
My only big gripes are Matt Jackson has a little bit of a bobble head, and moreso Kenny’s right ankle is extremely loose. Any time I move him at all his ankle goes backwards or to the side. It feels like it will snap off if I pull on it at all. I have the black and green Omega coming with the ring soon so hopefully he won’t have this problem. I got the one with the pure black hair too so I’ll definitely use the next Kenny over this one.
Overall they’re great, though. They’re way more playable and poseable than Elites, the attires beside Kenny’s look great, and they just feel much higher quality than what I’m used to. It’s also cool that you can still pose The Bucks and Kenny even in their entrance gear (Kenny’s jacket is difficult to snap back on though). I think the headscans on the Bucks could use some improvement, but I’m fine with the others.
They will only get better from here so I’m really excited for Series 2, whose lineup I like even more than this one.

A word for everyone, snap the hands off the figures if you're going to remove/add their gear. I had no problems taking the gear off to inspect, and then putting it back on for display. Be careful with the Bucks, though, their jackets are delicate.

The omega foot and matt wobble seem to be pretty standard so far the foot I’m thinking may be how there packing Kenny I’ve noticed that ankle often at a angle in the boxes neither is too big a deal but noticeable and yes Kenny’s gear only highlights the lighter skin tone I also can’t wait for the ring one to arrive my Kenny has the grayish hair so I don’t mind it at all obviously a couple silverish highlights would go a long way i think Matt actually looks pretty Dead on for the show it’s representing look forward to a bearded version if any of them Nick needs a tweek I don’t think it’s far off and you can see some merch freak in there lol but his eyes could use a slightly better job done and Yes they are So Great and your on point with these impression imho |

I got mine today and I must say I am very impressed with the action figures.
The Packaging: Looks like the old WWE Jakks Classic Superstars with the AEW twist but I wish the bubble wasn't attached to the carding. The package is almost the same size of the current Elite packaging.
The Figures: Feels good in the hand and less delicate then the WWE Elite figures, despite the pale skin tone it's looks good. I like the gears on Chris Jericho, Kenny Omega, & The Young Bucks (Cody and Brandi Rhodes weren't available when I placed the pre-order). Jericho and Omega's entrance gear has more flex then Mattel's. The rubber lower half of the torso is a good addition to a figure. It's good they look good with the Mattel Elite action figures.
These action figures would be a great addition to anybody's collection and have dream matches of your own and I can't wait for Series 2 to drop.

Got my Ringside shipment today. I got all the males in the set. My thoughts run the same as the general opinion: good figures but with a few flaws. I'm not a fan of the torso design but I can get used to it if it means we also get double jointed elbows and knees.
In order of most to least favorite:
Le Champion Chris Jericho - Best figure in the set, may be the best Jericho figure I own now and I have around a dozen of the Mattel Jericho figs. Love the complete entrance gear of hat, scarf, and coat; love the expression on his face. Love the figure.
The Young Bucks - Waited a long time for Young Bucks figures and these are damn good. Great cloth jackets on par with anything Mattel ever put out. My only complaint is that their faces seem little off.
Kenny Omega - I was most excited for this figure but the face doesn't quite work for me in person. I actually prefer some of the customs I've seen using a Daniel Bryan head with DDP hair. I'm still happy to have it but I was hoping for better.
Cody - Only figure that I was minorly disappointed with. Mine has a mismatched skin tone on the chest versus arms and stomach plus a few minor scuffs on his tights. It had the weakest accessories (unless you're counting a Brandi figure as an accessory).
I'm ready to go all in on future AEW sets as they have started off well. Plus I have wanted an Adam Page figure for years and he is in set two, looking good in the early pics. I'll definitely be pre-ordering Page, Mox, and MJF.

One nitpick I wanted to mention that I neglected was the pegs in the legs of everyone is flesh colored, so when you move their legs at all it looks like they’re exposed or something. I hope in the future they’ll match the color of their tights. It’s not something you notice often but it is an eyesore sometimes.
