So far I've been collecting from lines 2-5 and I've noticed while the figures are fantastic and exceeded my expectations there are those minor gripes.
I've noticed that many figures throughout the first few waves don't have much range of motion when moving the legs into a seated position. I get something like a 125° angle which hopefully they will be corrected moving forward. What are some of your issues and/or concerns?

1. Not finding them at retail
2. Not finding them at retail
3. Not finding them at retail
Seriously though, I'm not too big a fan on the clicking joints, sometimes it's hard to manipulate them in matches. Little better scale and look consistency, though I'll cut some slack with a new venture running thru some major unexpected challenges.

1. The scaling issues
2. Reuse of series 1-2 elbows and stubby wrists on repaints
3. The new AEW men’s title belt

The looseness of some of the figures. I like them tight

It feels like the pieces holding the joints are too rubbery and cheap. I've noticed they also become warped from the packaging.

To be fair, Mattel has had this problem for 12 years Did you read the subject on the post? I guess you're trying to get in your comment quota for the day. It's a discussion board. The One Who Polices the Dialogue I don't have many gripes with the line. Scale and stuff of that sort doesn't bother me. I guess my biggest complaint would be the uncertainty of finding them at retail. RSC is convenient, but I'd love to pay $5 to $7 less for them. It's too big a risk though, what with their luck in retail thus far. |

Some are too loose and the distribution issues
Other stuff is forgivable like scans and scale but they’re still issues
The looseness is bad in some figures like S1 Kenny Omega but some are perfect imo like Darby and OC

Besides the retail stuff so far for me it’s their scale being all over the place. That is something that is really dragging on me and potentially will lead to me buying less figures.

1) Screaming/open mouth scans without a straight face option
2) More people need closed fists or something more closed than their mic holding hands. It’s annoying to me that Mox, Darby, Cody, etc. don’t have punching hands.
3) The figures in trunks apart from Sami - PAC, Kaz and MJF. Their legs are too short and stumpy compared to their body. They look really awkward to me.
Still my favorite line by a long shot, though.

Scaling issues are my biggest gripe, but that's a problem in Mattel as well.
Also, while I understand a need to get big names out there, the need to spam the same talent in each new wave, when the line is less than 2 years old is troubling. How, please tell me HOW we have this many Cody and Jericho figures and we're only on Wave 6??? For perspective, we have 58 (that I counted) unique figures right now but I think I counted only 27 different talents? That's a horrid ratio for a series this young.
Distribution and the chase situation is horrid, but improving
Finally, there are some quality control issues right now that bother me (Loose joints, box issues, paint problems, etc) but the line is still young. Give them time.

I'm not a fan of how thick Scorpio Sky's legs are |

I have i believe 30 aew figs and have dremeled most of them so that they can kick forward. It's ridiculous. Ive talked to magic about it. Seems hit or miss but mostly miss on most figs. Seems theyre going for the look of it more than the articulation. It sucks though ive destroyed them all to a degree for the sake of playability. But at least now they can kick

Some of the scans
Floppyness on the joints
Thickness of some of the figures
Scaling is pretty bad
All hands being the same and they look awkward
