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.
