The first BaF should be Tony Khan. No joke. And his attire should be from the first time he did an Impact ad.

Why is there so much hate towards Marko due to his size and not being worth a full price figure? I don’t remember anyone complaining about Hornswoggle figures costing the same as Big Show Because Hornswoggle was actually entertaining and brought something to the business. I don’t mean to be offensive to anyone but personally Hornswoggle or anyone of his size has no business being in a ring with regular sized people. He was a comedy act and was never supposed to be anything more. Marko can actually wrestle people of normal size and make it look believable

Not a fan of Marko so I’d rather the spot go to someone more deserving IMO. What exactly is the scale of “deserving” here? Marko is a very good worker, has been heavily featured on TV since AEW’s inception, and (most importantly for getting an action figure) is over.

Marko is a very good worker, has been heavily featured on TV since AEW’s inception, and (most importantly for getting an action figure) is over. This is all subjective. In my mind, there’s plenty of AEW performers that are more deserving to me based on popularity, spot on the card, and talent. Brodie Lee Brian Cage Ricky Starks Lance Archer Joey Janella Christopher Daniels Miro Kip Sabian Trent Chuck Taylor Britt Baker Rebel Nyla Rose Hikaru Shida Thunder Rosa Serena Deeb Penelope Ford Anna Jay Tay Conti Kris Statlander Eddie Kingston The Blade The Butcher Dax Harwood Cash Wheeler Private Party Jake Hager (purely for Inner Circle completion) Sting Wardlow Dark Order (any member) Arn Anderson Tully Blanchard Jake Robert Tony Schivone Again, all subjective, but I feel everyone listed above is just as deserving, if not more-so than Marko in getting a figure made.

If people complained about the Jungle Boy figure looking bad... Oof.
I've never understood why gigantic figures used to get smaller figures as accessories. If the Giant is already a big chunk of plastic, which I assume is more expensive than a normal sized toy, why would they add even more extra cost? Maybe price isn't necessarily balanced to weight, but it always seemed strange.
Anyway, I'd never buy a Marko Stunt toy, unless it was in a 3 pack with 2 figures I really wanted and couldn't get any other way. In that case, if they put him with with Colt Cabana and Chris Daniels, they've got a shot.

A lot of those names aren’t feasible timeline-wise yet (Revival, Sting, Kingston, Team TAZ, etc.), and of many of the ones that are Marko and JE got roughly equal TV time to most of them through the first 6-9 months of AEW television. (Also, from a 2021 perspective, over wrestler on the card trumps non-wrestling legend managers as far as deserving a figure IMO. Obviously in the grand scheme of wrestling history, Tully/Arn/Jake are more deserving). Obviously beyond being subjective, this is all hypothetical anyway since there is no announced Marko figure of any kind.

They could do a special thing like put him in a chocolate ball at the registers and you open it and there is his figure. Would be fun for the kids.

But no, in all honesty, whatever it takes to get him, I'll take. BAF, single release, accessory, ANYTHING. Just give me Marko. Any particular reason? Just curious. I've always liked an underdog. One of my types (for guys I like) is "Adorable but angry" and he ticks that box. (At least, from what I've seen. I haven't watched as much as I'd like to.)
Also, if I'm getting Luchasaurus and Jungle Boy, I'm gonna need Marko to go with them or it's gonna bug me. That pesky OCD again. Can't have an almost-complete set.

If Ringside ever keeps the figures in stock long enough to go below retail would be the only way I see myself owning a Marko but I don’t like the idea of him being a accessory.

Marko can actually wrestle people of normal size and make it look believable Ok, but low-key Hornswoggle as a gimmick itself was offensive. Beyond him being the "Patron Saint of Jumping the Shark," who looks at a little person and thinks "You know what would be a 100% socially acceptable gimmick for this guy? A DIRTY LEPRECHAUN!"

I don’t remember anyone complaining about Hornswoggle figures costing the same as Big Show Well first let me say I have zero interest in owning any of the Jurassic Express. They do nothing for me meaning once I have watched a match or two after theirs I’ve already forgotten theirs. So that equals me passing on them. And as far as Hornswaggle goes the only one I ever purchased was in a basic 2-Pack with Finlay. I passed on all his other figures because him being the same price as regular figures. And with SW I did reluctantly buy a Black series Yodu but hated I spent $20 on a figure that used 50-75% less plastic to make. So I would say put him in a 2-pack or make him a BAF.

A 2-pack with Archer or Tully would be cool

Anyhoo, I'd buy a Marko for sure. I've zeroed in my wrestling figure collecting criteria down for the modern era to talent I've personally seen at my local indies that have impressed me. The crew of JE have dropped by my locals a few times so I'll pick them all up.

Because Hornswoggle was entertaining so is Marco Stunt in fact he's more entertaining He's alright as a character and he's over. In-ring he's good but his size is too much of a distraction in my opinion.
