Pre-ordered the whole set right after getting the first series at retail. Yeah the lack of previously shown accessories sucks, especially for Lucha Bros. I’m also pretty disappointed in Hangman’s face and hair color as well as MJF’s face and (not that big of a deal) scarf as the protos looked way better. With that said though, still super excited about this series and 100% would of ordered still knowing these things before anyways. I believe legally they couldn't make his Burberry scarf the way it was in the protos. Couldn’t they use the scarf he sold as merchandise though ? If not how did he sell it as merchandise ? Edit; they did use it on the chase* figure actually

I’m completely fine w them dropping allot of the extras for now let’s just get the basic figures up and going and when it comes specifically to hands kinda love that there not tossing in endless amount of useless hands As Mattel is getting a bit out of control with this Putting an extra hand for a wrestler that does a specific hand gester example hangman / omega. Or say undisputed era / Randy orton / Daniel Bryan is Great But otherwise just give me one Fist and one Mic hand on each figure as a standard And call it a day and you can place them either which way Left or right for some variance and call me Happy
I do however kinda dig the swappable heads elites & ultimates doing wouldn’t mind that becoming standard Going forward and Unrivaled picking that up once they get more established in what there doing however make them different enough that it has value not like say Domino in the DealPool/ marvel legends

I don't think the regular scarf looks bad at all. Obviously it wasn't going to be a 1:1 Burberry reproduction, but I think they got it close enough for it to not matter.

Edit; they did use it on the chase* figure actually His design on the merch is a modified Burberry design. His merch scarf(and Chase figure) has double thin red lines instead of the usual Burberry single, solid red line that he wears 99% of the time. They could have maybe done that to the regular version as well to make up for the lack of the red design on it. Either way, I'm happy to add him to my collection!

Don’t mind me, just thinking about how we probably could’ve gotten those extra accessories if they weren’t throwing budget money away on extremely limited run items to satisfy someone’s weird obsession with the secondary market despite being the head of the primary market

I agree with you completely. While I'm not upset as some with the accessory stuff since I'm just happy to have these figures in my collection. I do think that focusing on the core line should be key before exclusives. Meaning, focus on the accessories that were promised and the amount of figures hitting stores before putting money into these chases.

After reading so many post over the last few weeks, I feel like that I'm the only One here that was able to preorder the entire series 2 from RSC. Nah! It couldn't be that way, could it? Oo I also pre-ordered the whole set.

I'll be trying my luck with smyths toys here in the UK - they are currently showign as being in stock from 07th-10th of November. If I'm lucky it'll be home delivery. If not it'll either be a 15 mile drive or not at all.
Due to stocking issues I've not been able to pick up the bucks at all, which sucks a little bit.

Buying these the moment RSC put them back up. If they ever do Jazwares has a pretty clear idea of the demand for the line at this point. If they aren't producing quantities that match the demand, they're a) leaving money on the table b) going to turn off their core consumer. I think they'll get it straightened out. But they've burned a lot of goodwill with me and most of us here. It's a shame.

Needless to say it is out of stock at all Targets and Gamestop, so I wont be getting a master chief any time soon apparently either. No stock of anything!

Does anyone know if it’s like this with their Fortnite stuff too?

I do not like the cut on Ambroses forehead. It should have been on the chase and not the main line. Is it cool and am I glad they thought to include it? Yes, but I think it’d serve better on a chase to make it more rare and leave the regular head for the main line figure.
