Why for the love of god do they keep releasing Cody and Kenny like I get they’re presidents of AEW but like can we just let them be for a while, this is how you KILL a line by rereleasing figures no one wants like where’s BRITT, Shida, Jungle boy, Kong or heck even kip and Penelope??? You also gotta look at it from a marketing stand point. Everyone from the first series sells so having them back in the line ups again would be the smarter move similar to what Mattel is doing with Roman, Rollins, AJ, and Balor. Now of course, we do see a lot of those Mattel figures rotting on the shelves and Jazzware figures will most likely end up doing the same thing. Distribution problems aside, it's more of a they'll be more widely available not only to the collectors, but also to kids and casuals... especially since the first series (not including RSC Exclusives or Smyths' Exclusives) was really only exclusive to Walmart, showed up at retail once and never showed up again (as well as never popping up at retail at all), and the secondary market is at a hefty price. |

This is the first time they've been made since Series 1, which JP will be the first to admit was a disaster. This will likely be the first time collectors young and old will be seeing Cody & Omega in stores. It's ok. We're talking 4 of the 6 being first time figures. That's an awesome ratio. JP JUST said that there will even be a second line that will be used to get more people on the roster made. Take a deep breath. Everything's peachy. that could be interesting especially if we could get Dark people as well but I don’t know if they’re signed tbh.... but if I remember correctly didn’t Jeremy state that 2 packs were in the works when they first announced the line this could be that |

I'm almost completely sure Unmatched will either be the Legends line or a 2-pack I'm thinking Legends, or a mix of legends and current talent. Jeremy has talked about how they want to do 2-packs, but that makes more sense for places like RSC where there's lower risk. Look at how poorly 2 packs have done at retail for Mattel, and they can't even get stores to carry the line for the past two years. As a new brand/product, it could be a disaster if the product didn't do well. So $20 price point is much lower risk. Even Mattel 2-packs are dire. I have a local store that may or may not have Steph/Foley & The Bar rotting on a bottom shelf. lol A Legends/Deep cut set sounds like a lot of fun. |

Re: Unmatched, Jeremy has said that these would be parallel lines, with Unrivaled releasing one month, and Unmatched the next. My impression that these will both be articulated lines at the same price point, but I could be wrong. I think that's also where we start to see legends. I think Jeremy said they wanted to have that in stores by Q3. isn’t this the 2 pack like he was talking about when they first announced the figures? |

Like STC said, 2-packs are likely RSC or other store exclusives. I could see Target and Amazon getting in on that. JP has talked about them in interviews though. |

who would you want tho?? Idk this line is becoming not relevant It’s all in your head, just on one page after your comment are people saying they are happy to get Omega and Cody cause they couldn’t find them. It’s not about you! It’s about everyone. Kenny and Cody probably weren’t seen in stores by 3 quarters of the people looking for them. The tops stars are gonna get repeat figures. It’s what drives the action figure industry. A kid getting his first AEW figure is gonna want Kenny and Cody and the Bucks first, he isn’t gonna want Kip Sabin to be his first figure. Dude just chill out! I guarantee you will enjoy life more if everything isn’t the end of the world. dude ik, I’m just saying the comments on Twitter and Instagram say otherwise |

I'm pretty sure Jeremy has been signing legends talent since when the line was announced, if not before. So late 2021 would make sense for turn around time for sculpting and design work. I was referring to the Elite 2-packs. I completely forgot about the basic 2-packs since my Targets stopped carrying them early last year. 2021 should be a pretty fun year for collecting. |

But he's said that they make more sense for places like RSC. It's a lot easier for your Average Joe walking through a store to drop $20 than $40. Look at how things like Marvel's 2 packs almost always end up on clearance. I literally just bought the Storm and Yoda/Luke 2 packs today for like $14 each on clearance, and both were $50 MRSP. |

The no namers with an 0-20 record, unless signed to a full time contract, will not get made. |

I'm glad they're releasing another Cody Rhodes and Kenny Omega. Having only started collecting wrestling figures recently, the AEW line is sold out of everyone except Dustin. Plus, I don't think the Series 1 Cody and Kenny figures looked very good from the final product photos I've seen. So hopefully they'll have been able to make future figures better. For the Kenny figure, I'm hoping it's the grey tights with the yellow designs. As for Cody, I'd honestly be happy with any attire. Honestly, those two are the only ones I'm interested in for Series 4. I'm looking for a second Dustin if you wanna hooks a fig brotha out. lol Dustin is still available from most UK wrestling merch online shops. |

I’ll be getting the whole set.
I really like Cody’s Series 1 gear but I want him with an updated skintone so at the very least I’ll swap out the top half the figure if I don’t like the attire. Same for Omega, although I prefer the grey gear he’s probably coming in over the past attires done so far. Can’t wait to get him in his current gear, though.
Mattel never made Broken Matt in his most iconic red gear and I didn’t like their attempts so I’ll definitely get him.
Sami is a big want of mine. Santana and Ortiz are near the bottom of the list of my wants but I’d still like figures of them.
Hopefully Jurassic Express come in the next set.

Just scanning through this thread...can we please keep the words Target and/or Walmart as far away from the word “exclusive” as possible?
Whether in store on online, please no.
Amazon is the best online distributor for toy exclusives and of course RSC.

Was really hoping for Luchasaurus and Jungle Boy after those Target listings but maybe they’ll be in the two packs series when those eventually come out. I’m still really happy with this series though. Matt Hardy is a bit earlier than I originally thought and psyched for the Inner Circle members. We’ll see about Omega and Cody, so many attires to choose from so I’m sure they’ll be welcomed additions.

Need the entire set. Titles on Kenny and Cody are welcome, but they both have updates that could be made, regardless. It’s absolutely Kenny’s tag title gear. It’s all he’s worn prior to beating Ambrose.
I’m starting to get really itchy for Jungle Boy. I figured we’d have him four sets in already. Seems like deep cuts like Ivelisse are going to be a pipe dream unless she gets a title run. This is going to go really slowly if at least two of the owners have to be in every other set.

Don't know if it got mentioned here, but in one of the Twitter threads Jeremy confirmed the Unmatched figures will indeed be the exact style as Unrivaled.

If you think more people would buy Kip  ing Sabian over a repaint of Kenny Omega, the current AEW World Champion, or Cody Rhodes, you've hit some weird ass level of delusional thinking I never even knew existed. |
