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. I agree with everything you said. 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 I'm not a fan of the chase concept, but it is what it is. I made my peace that I'll probably never own a chase figure. But I've collected lines where these limited run chase pieces were the norm, so none of this is surprising to me. From Day 1, a "complete" collection for me has always been basic releases. I basically treat the chase figures like they don't exist. And if there is ever an attire that is must-have for me, I'll be able to buy or make a fantastic custom for a fraction of what the figure will sell for. I think people will adapt to it in time.

So it sounds like Mox may not be shown today. Can they really not share it unless he posts it on Twitter first? I feel like their reveals just get more and more annoying. lol
I’m curious how he turns out. I’m a big fan of his but the early showings of his figure didn’t look great. I have to assume his Rare version will be the shorts, but I hope they might consider making that an RSC exclusive since it’s also his NJPW attire.

I think people will adapt to it in time. to me, a lot of it is people needing to grow up. there's kids out there that don't get multiple figures regularly, let alone chase ones. I was one of those kids. the average collection on this forum is something as a kid I could only dream of and certainly didn't just expect. that mail away Kurt Angle and Lita TTLs we're totally out of my reach. I didn't cry all over the forum while it was happening.

They were done as a means to get people to buy more figures. That's an important distinction.

That's an important distinction. if people have an overall issue with Jeremy, Jazwares, limited chases - that's their business and I'm not disagreeing that things could be ran better. if it was my choice, these chases wouldn't be nearly as limited. but they are, and endless griping or insulting those who obtained one...hard to believe some users are adults on here at times.

I would have thought the Lucha Bros. both had the chase variants.
Originally was surprised that MJF got one, but will be really surprised if Mox is the other.
Maybe Mox in his bike shorts tights he wore for a minute?

I really had no interest in series 2 other than getting MJF and Hangman Page. After seeing these updated pics, I’ll be getting Penta and Fenix too. Hopefully Mox looks way better than the weird looking proto we’ve seen so far. Skipping Dustin until he gets rid of that face paint.

These figures look good but I hope they they come with all their accessories that was shown with their protos. Like Hangmans extra bandana to put over his mouth, Penta and Fenix extra hands and heads. Not showing in the provided pictures is concerning to me.

Am I the only one that hates the fact that they did an articulation halfway up the shin so the kick pads won’t lineup right?

So there wasn’t a pic of Moxley shown yet? My guess is tomorrow morning/afternoon. Atleast that's what I'm hoping.
