I really only have one gripe so far, and it echoes many others': the looseness of some joints. It seems like it started with the Darby Allin series and has continued since. My Luchasaurus, Jungle Boy, Sky, Kazarian, etc., all have loose torsos or ankles. It seems like every day I find another figure knocked over, which is something I don't have issue with with Mattel.
The worst part is, I don't think stands would help because the figures would still tip forward because the ankles don't support them, or the torso isn't stable enough.
If it doesn't improve, I'll probably look to move/deal the line because loose is my preferred collecting method.

I love the packaging from a visual perspective. But it also seems like it might be a hinderance to the line. It seems like most stores are only putting 3 figures to a peg, so I've seen a lot of stores only putting out half the case at a time.

1. Face Scans – The face scans are good but some of them are awful.
2. Height Issues - Some superstars are taller than most for an example Adam Page Series 5 regular is taller than Dustin Rhodes.
3. Interchangeable Parts – They need to be more for certain superstars, like with the Young Bucks, gives us two heads, one with the head bands and one without. Give us more fisted hands.
4. Fragile – I feel these figures are to fragile and can break easily if you play or pose them for your pic fed and/or stop motion animation.
5. Poor Stability? – Some of these figures have poor stability and fall very easily like Brandi Rhodes, I was fixing up my display, she fell than some of my figures fell to the ground (thankfully none of them broke)
6. Packaging – I know that Jeremy wanted to recycle the Jakks WWE Classic Superstars packaging, but I was never a fan of the look, I hate Mint on Card style packages, I am more of a mint in box fan like WWE Elites and the AEW Ringside Collectibles Exclusives. I hope they update the packaging down the road
7. In Stores? - I don’t have a Wal-Mart near me and my local Target’s suck ass when it comes to finding anything, I’ve only found one AEW action figure in stores and it was the Series 4 Matt Jackson. I rather pay extra and order these action figures from Ringside Collectibles.

I wish we got more fists and tighter C Grip hands. It would just open up more options for posing and display.
The scale on some of the figures is an issue. Primarily on Dustin and Moxley. With Dustin, I’m not sure if it’s the height that’s off, or if it’s his proportions. I think a big issue with his scale is his calves start to taper in, but then his boots flare back out. Either his boots are too tall or his calves are too long.
The ratchet joints are hit or miss. Some of the shoulders are way too tight, some are way too loose, and some are perfect. More consistency on that would be great.

May not be an issue with the rest of the figures, as I’ve found personally, but my Pacs torso likes popping out when posing

May not be an issue with the rest of the figures, as I’ve found personally, but my Pacs torso likes popping out when posing I think the entire range has some minor hits/misses with articulation. My Elite bucks often pop torsos, while other figures seem unusually stiff, IE some I can't bend the legs properly - unless that's by design, but take Kaz and Sammy G: Sammy G figure is super posable, as he should be. Kaz however can barely lift his legs at all - he's only real good for doing tombstones, which it's not the end of the world, but of course he's a springy active guy as well, and should be able to leg drop people etc. |

My only gripe right now is scale but I can't even complain that bad about it because Mattel's is all over the place too

Need to go to cases of 8. Have two core figures like Moxley, Jericho ect. 2 per case plus you can add their chase or rare more easily. And it'll actually give ppl a better chance at some of these.

My biggest gripe is the damage to my wallet!! I think store availability is the toughest for me so far. I’ve been able to find a few at Walmart’s but most I’ve gotten through eBay, online stores. It’s also tough knowing that series 4 seems to have barely hit the shelves when series 6 will be available in less than a month (I think).

not a massive gripe, but I do regret buying some of the series 1 figures. Sadly they just don't look great I bought the Series 3 Bucks and they look so much better.

The figures have always been 3 to a peg at Target, which is the only place I've seen AEW on the pegs in my area. The stores added a second peg with the latest reset, but they had always put 3 out at a time previously. Multiple cases stocked? That's crazy. |

This one might not be so big as others but proper tooling and and portion control. I don't see why Scorpio has the portions he does when at glance it seems like he should have simular parts to Cody. His legs are too bulky and doesn't kick out 90 degrees and his torso makes him look slightly chunky instead of toned. Others suffer from this as well.

I hate how rubbery some of the figures feel. Santana and Ortiz come to mind specifically. I can't even get mine to stand because the legs are so gummy feeling.

It’s also prone to being knocked around from what I’ve seen in stores. That said I do like different packaging with fun angles and looks like the TNA line did |

Yeah these pics are from another store today series 4 dropped again over The Weekend so definitely get out there and look around your areas |
