Hey guys, I was super excited when this line was announced and we saw those amazing first images with the killer headscans. But I wanted to wait for a couple series to come out before I bought into this line. I have to say the headscans are very disappointing compared to what we saw at first. I was hoping to see these in person to see if it was any better, but still to this day none of the Walmart’s around me have had a single figure.
With all that being said what are your impressions of this line, and more importantly do you think it will last long term?

Honestly, I like them a lot. I think they're really well constructed, they're different enough from the Elites to bring something new to the table, but they're consistent with what I largely collect otherwise. I originally went in with tempered plans - I was only going to get Kenny from series 1. The day I found them, I wound up buying Cody as well, and then I had instant regrets and spent another couple of weeks tracking down a Jericho. When series 2 and 3 became clear, I decided I'd be done after Mox, MJF, and OC. I got Mox and MJF through the first round of preorders, but when they launched the second earlier this week, I wound up buying a Pentagon, and when series 3 went up, I grabbed Riho in addition to OC.
I'm really hoping I'm done-done now, but I'm terrified that Jazwares is going to rope me back in somehow. The basic ring can only hold so many!

The basic ring can only hold so many! You got the wrong ring, pal. Maybe, but no. I'm extremely limited in the space I have (my house is only 950 sq. ft as is), and the only reason I was able to justify the ring was because I repurposed a 6x2 cube storage shelf from my kid's room into my office. The basic ring barely fits, so I gotta make do.

[edit nvm saw your post lol] I love the line but also disappointed in the headscans ultimately. But at this point I just want to see new people and collect them, and enjoy it.

Give it time. This is a brand new line that will have some flaws in the beginning. I feel the same thing happened with Mattel, and Jakks. The initial first handfull of sets were good, but had flaws. Mattels heads also were not that good in the the initial launch. It took a bit for them to get in the groove with their scans. They still have issues with some characters.
The AEW line so far has been great. Yes, some scans and DIJ need some tweaking, but this is still a new venture for Jazwares/WCT. We have only seen 2 sets released so far. People in the wrestling figure community are so eager to give up on a line and are way to hypocritical. It takes time to perfect. It's not going to happen right from the start. Just look at what we have so far. Its actually been really good. Just imagine this time next year after the necessary fixes are implemented. Remember, thigs change from prototypes to in hand. you might have a difference in opinion once you have them in hand.
As far as distribution, it will get better. They are not producing the highest amount of sets on purpose to the chagrin of collectors. This is so Walmart will re-order time after time instead of cutting the line after a few sets. When producing a brand new line, it is hard to judge how well it will sell without any prior numbers to reflect upon. Target, Amazon and other will be carrying the AEW come summer. Production will ramp up, new sets will come out and more pieces will be produced for all the sets. Everyone will be able to find figures in the stores and online regularly. Also, Jeremy stated Wave 1 and 2 will be re-released and sent out after Wave 3 hits stores. Updated skin tones, pegs with correct colors will hit stores from the new factory. In due time, everyone will have what they are looking for.
Give it time...

If you can find them for MSRP and sell them for $70-135, it is more than worth it 😁💵📦

Guess it depends on how you're looking at it.
Are they worth what they're going for on the secondary market? No way. I still think when the dust settles everybody who wants these will be able to have bought them at or near retail by Q2 2021.
Are they worth buying? Yes. It's not a perfect line by any stretch, but pretty much every line I've ever collected had some design issues out of the gate. I'm hoping they continue to improve the head scans/face prints. I do think COVID has had an impact there, since they're probably only working from scans done pre-COVID and would be limited in opportunities to rescan talent if there were issues with the initial scans.
But in terms of deco, accessories, use of softgoods, etc? I think they've done an amazing job, and I'm really looking forward to seeing the line evolve over the next year.

With all that being said what are your impressions of this line, and more importantly do you think it will last long term? To each their own, but I think these are really rad figures. The only other line I like more is the Marvel Legends line. Unrivaled provides great articulation and makes small custom swaps incredibly easy.

I like them. A lot. When I got my Pentagon Jr. in from Ringside I was stunned because it was such a great figure after waiting so long for a Pentagon. :’)
Maybe it’s just me being blinded by the fact that I’m finally getting figures of some of the guys I’ve been waiting for for years. But I actually do really like how they’re made. The plastic feels good and they feel great to move around and I can give them a break with the PAC and Riho figures bc it’s really early in the line and I haven’t been totally disappointed from the majority of the sculpts.

Definitely not! Considering these are the first waves of a brand new line for a year old company, these figures are absolutely phenomenal. In my opinion Unrivalled Series 1-3 are superior to Mattel Elite Series 1-3 in terms of quality, box design and accessories and how much higher of a standard can we hold? I agree some of the sculpts have been off but as were early Mattel from what I can remember. Hopefully the techniques will only get better as the demand increases.
