Now that I got series 2 in hand, I feel I can make a more honest review of these figures.
I only bought jon Moxley, Dustin Rhodes, and Adam page.
Jon moxley: Pros: Great head scan, awesome vest, aew title, overall great figure Cons: he is the same height as WWE viscera/mabel figure which mean his figure scale would make him 6'8"...too tall, looks like he's wearing skinny jeans, could have possibly made the pants a little more baggy.
Dustin rhodes: Pros: great likeness as a whole figure Cons: way too tall (same height as undertaker, making his figure scale at 7' tall.) Needs to be shorter
Adam page: Pros: again, great likeness as a whole figure Cons: clown shoes feet, they should have made the bandana go over his face the way it was originally supposed to be.
Feel free to add or subtract from my figure review or come to you're own conclusions. I'd like to see reviews of only the figures you actually have in possession to give you're honest opinion of them, good or bad, and not just from pics you saw on line or pics of other people's figures they posted.

Just got my Pentagon JR, Fenix and Hangman
Only issue I see for page is the clown shoes and that even doesn’t bother me much. I like the mole a la Rousey present on his face.
The Lucha Bros IMO are flawless!! Pictures don’t do them justice, Pentagon is so clean and IMO the best one in the set.

IMO, the scaling for these figures are fine. The general consensus seems to be twofold:
1. Cody Rhodes needs to be larger, which would just about make the scale accurate.
2. Universal parts are needed in some instances, so we don't have the huge feet (Page), small feet (MJF), and the like.

So I finally got a chance to open my series 2, and I noticed that my Hangman Page has two right upper leg/ Thigh parts. The knee pad hides it well in the front, but you can tell from the back it’s wrong. I can live with it though, it’s just going to sit on my shelf anyway. Still a good figure.

So sorry to hear about your Page figure. Mine has two left boots. The feet are fine, but the boots both have the logo on left. I tried turning the boot around and twisting the foot around, but it just won't go that far. I'm sure Page will have more figures down the line, so I'm not too worried about it. There's probably someone out there who got a Page figure with two right boots.

Folk need to stop comparing Dustin to The Undertaker it's getting embarrassing! They're not the same scale, they're not supposed to be the same scale, they never will be the same scale! They are not Mattel figures! 🙃

They are not Mattel figures! 🙃 We were all told in the beginning that they were to be in scale with the WWE mattel line. Jazwares has said that before the line even came out because a lot of people were asking because that was a big selling point that they would be in scale with the WWE figures

They’re the same scale, just a hiccup with two figures, like the skin tone, It got fix, the scale will be tackled aswell.

I don’t care about skin tones or scale, I’d just like to have my series 2 shipped at this point 😂. They could come in Hasbro scale for all I care. At this point, I’ll take whatever I can get.

Just look at the difference between the arm and torso thicknesses between Mattel and Jazwares. They aren’t the same scale and people need to get over it and stop saying ‘...is too big/small because of this undertaker figure’ etc

By far the gems of series 2, but they both needed rocker ankles and there's absolutely no excuse for scrapping the extra heads and hands...

That’s a bit of a stretch, I’m curious to know if you have any idea what was their budget? Mattel starting implementing swappable hands and heads in 2019, Mattel’s been with the license for 10 yrs, what makes you think Jazzwares budget is near Mattel’s? My only problem is that they should’ve been transparent to all of this.

Guys don't be white knights for Jeremy. I love AEW, obviously I collect the figures, but JP is known for cutting corners and over promising. I know they've had some difficulties during this pandemic and had to switch factories. And yes, Penta & Rey will inevitably get repaints - and I will buy them too. But you advertise something with accessories, don't communicate any changes to the product we've pre-ordered and it feels like a "bait & switch". That's just my opinion. None of us know their bottom line. Jazwares has the rights to the Fortnite brand and as far as I can see Fortnite is a strong brand globally, so I don't know how piss poor you think Jazwares is as a company.

Pics show the Dustin fig, to be a tad shorter than E79 'Taker - which would be about right irl. The issue is not with the Dustin, but rather with them making Cody a midget.

In all fairness, I also haven't seen the question asked in any recent interviews/q&a's.

I am kicking myself in the ass for not pre-ordering this set when it went live. I guess we have to wait to 2021 for these to be in some of our hands.

Managed to pick up: Moxley, MJF, Dustin, Hangman and Penta over the weekend. [And both the bucks from series 1!] Moxley is great figures, really like the scan and like how they added the scar. jacked it solid and nice to have another belt - this belt feels more "sturdy" than the one that came with the bubbly jericho, like the snaps are more solid - if that makes sense. MJF is another awesome figure, great scan and nice to have another mic as well. Only thing on the mic is they seem to need a specific hand for them - where as the older jakks figures just had a meaty mic that fit into all the standard "open" hands, so maybe thats something to look into in the future. Hangman is an odd one, as the scan is better "in hand" and the decor is awesome, but yep....its the feet. They look crazy big. Not an offput as i wanted hangman regardless, but something to take note of in production. Penta is pure *Chefs kiss* for me - it's perfect. Dont even mind the face scan, would have been nice with two heads, but either way this is a great figure. Dustin is similar, great decor on that one and a welcome addition to the collection for sure! Not sure on the whole "height" thing, as he does look big, but it's nice to have a bigger figure in the mix....even though that may no be accurate to his, or others, actual size haha. Solid series all round, just need Fenix to polish it off which the UK arent getting for another week or so - and i only really want 3 from series 3 [orange, Pac and Darby], but I look forward to the future of these figs
