Maybe all the additional accessories will be included in the super-special Unrivaled Series 2 Revision set to come at a later date!
And yes, I'm just being snarky, but no, I wouldn't put it past Jeremy in the least.

He actually spent the accessory budget money on Pokemon cards.

And yes, I'm just being snarky, but no, I wouldn't put it past Jeremy in the least. This popped me. I remember Jeremy saying skin tones would be fixed in series 2 and those tones would carry over into the second production of wave one for international markets. I honestly don't see much of an improvement regarding skin tone on these compared to series 1...but then again...at least they all will match [lolz] but not really.

Even compared to the S1 figures, these just feel really sparse. No heads, no hands, MJF's scarf is the only softgoods. Fenix and Dustin are both pretty high deco, but otherwise Mox, MJF, and Hangman are all pretty simple paintjobs.
I'm a huge AEW fan and still super excited for this line overall. But if this is what we should expect moving forward, I think Jeremy is going to be losing support fast.

I'm slightly disappointed by the extra accessories being stripped away from Fenix and Pentagon. But I also pay $20 for Marvel Legends which sometimes don't have accessories at all. I'm hoping that it was due to some sort of time constraint that they had to cut in order to get them released on time, to make up for the previous delay. I don't know, but I am VERY happy with how the actual figures turned out. Really excited for Series 3, which should be loaded with great accessories to make up for this wave(Cassidy, Shida, Darby). Still happy I pre-ordered!

Let's all chip in, buy a rare Charizard card, then threaten to rip it up unless he comes through with S3.

I tend to lean more pessimistic and think this is what we'll be looking at going forward. They made a big statement with Series 1. High quality figures with more articulation and nice accessories for the same price as an Elite. A great way to make a splash, but was that really a viable business model long term? Possibly not. So maybe this is the norm (they're pretty sweet toys for the price point) Or maybe it'll balance out later on. When they can add a repainted Cody and Jericho to a wave, maybe they'll have more budget to spend on the other figures. So we can get a stick for Shida or some doll clothes for TH2.

I don’t think they will add repaints just cause we had a tag team in series 1 and 2 so we could get a tag team in series 3 if we do get get repaints it will probably be Jericho in revolution yellow attire with le champion bandana, Cody will probably his neck tattoo and omega in full gear attire but I reckon maybe series 4 or 5 for repaints, Jeremy saying people will be pleased with series 4 so I reckon Jurassic express

I'm happy thus far, but for this line to really succeed S3 and on need to have more features.
Deco budgets eat up a lot, but the lack of accessories and swappable parts is going to be a long term bummer if it's not changed.
Like I said earlier, I expect that to change but I'm getting a little nervous.

Man, the heads they removed for Pentagon and Fenix look so much better than the ones they kept.
Very excited for the line and can’t wait to get more of AEW’s roster, but that’s one of those little things that’s going to always annoy me.

Huh. Penta has Pentagon Jr. on the card. Guess that shatters a possible delay theory. Well that’s great news! Maybe the October initial release will happen.

Need those unboxed to do cool dance moves in the Authentic Ring with Kenny. I would then need to Dr Britt to form the ultimate stable in all of professional wrestling (see AEW section, FALL Brawl tournament thread, make sure you vote for my team) I just picked up my first win today!
