Yeah they’re spending a week showing us stuff we’ve basically already seen. We aren’t even getting MOC pics I'm happy we're seeing the content - the ToyFair figures were basically customs that Magically put together. So I'm all for seeing what the factory product actually looks like. But yeah, this doesn't need to be dragged out across a week. If you're going to spend a week showing off figures, it better be something akin to the massive drop Mattel or Hasbro do around big events. Meanwhile Jeremy is talking about dropping a wave every month when they can't even show new product for months at a time. Walk before you run. I agree with everything you have said, is like he tries to be fun and exciting with these reveals, what he doesn’t realize is that it gets annoying and hyping reveals for just a few figs is very underwhelming. They need to improve ASAP.

nobody's going to mention how huge the feet are on the hangman figure? Looks way out of scale with the rest of the figure. Disappointed with this one.

Over-promise. Under-deliver.
Hangman's a bit disappointing. Now that I've seen the figures in stores I can see how quality varies from toy to toy, picture to picture. I had two Omegas in hand, one looked good, one looked like a cartoon. Hoping good Hangmans exist.

I'm reserving judgement until I have it in hand. For a promo image, it's not atrocious.

FWIW the 1st official MOC images of Series one were posted July 1st, “New loose Images” of Series 1 dropped on July 6th and RSC received the shipments of them on July 31st.

I'm super excited for Penta. He's just such a toyetic figure, and the black/white look is great.

Impressed with the figures we have seen from Series 2 but certainly not impressed by the way these were shown. Maybe I am just used to the professionalism of Mattel but this just feels too haphazard and drawn out. Mattel has that down pat, every so often having a dump of images of an entire series at once and that is that. The same goes for how these are so hard to get.
I understand that Jeremy seems to cater to the higher end who will spend big bucks on things, as evidenced by his fascination with artificial rarity, but he needs to understand that the average person is not like that. None of the 20 some Walmarts in my range of view have any of these in stock at all and have not since the initial burst when these were first hitting with the shippers. I suspect a number of people like me are going to quit before they start if these are not more easily found, possibly dooming the line. Once you remove the ability to be a completist, it is much easier to give up collecting a line. In my opinion, that is already happening with these crappy 1 of 500 and 1 of 1000 figures.
Sorry for the rant, but it just feels like while the line may seem successful, not having anything for anyone to purchase will be hurting them in the long run. I am sure Walmart is re-thinking the decision to have these as the bulk of them have space set aside for these in the aisles, and they do not have anything to sell. They will probably devote that space to something that they do have, and then the future waves will be that much harder to get.

Only a maximum of 500 people can ever have a complete collection now, and I’d image most of those 500 Codys are going to friends and family and not being shipped out to Walmart/RSC

Pentagon looks awesome. They really did a great job with the Lucha Bros. Both Penta and Fenix have so many great attires so they can make as many of them as they want as far as I’m concerned.
I hope that he and Fenix have the swappable heads like we saw at Toy Fair. Never been a fan of open mouth scans.
Edit: Totally agree. They way they’ve done chases and reveals have been awful in my opinion. Imagine you’re not a hardcore collector and want to know more about what figures are coming. I’d have to tell you to go to some guy named Jeremy’s social media and look for info rather than a set reveal from AEW or on a figure/toy site.
I feel like Jeremy is one of those people who tries to get himself over more than the product. I’m not angry about it or anything, but as someone who’s super excited for the line I find myself annoyed by the way they’ve handled things so far. I love the Darby chase but my chances of ever finding one are almost impossible which just isn’t fun. Amazing product, though.
