Is it the actual plastic that creates the shiny gloss look or a polish they put over the figures? Noticed with the latest series 5 that there really reflective and it makes them look cheap.
Do you think it’s a intended choice or the materials used?
I was becoming a fan of the AEW figures with all the ones I got been great figures but the last 3 I’ve got just put the line on hold for me. There’s other issues I’ve seen mentioned here QC wise and bad scale which really haven’t helped with the last 2 opened. Still got to open Jungle Boy and S4 Omega I just hope they can turn it around.
Wondering if Jazzwares have mentioned anything?
(Edit - Just examined the Hangman S5 and it looks to be a gloss over the face. Making the lips and beard especially glossy. The eyes too but not as much)

I was going to say judging from my series 5 Hangman it’s not the plastic but rather some sort of finish they applied to the figure.

The original Series 1 torsos are matte so I think it’s a polish or sealer. Most likely a new sealer because those early figures don’t have it and the paint chips very easily if your not careful

I didn’t know about the chipping. Thanks for the input Melfar and PJ

Thanks for the input Melfar and PJ Jericho is fine, and the Bucks don’t have a lot of paint (but you have to be careful with their jackets’ threading), but Cody, Kenny, & Brandi (plus series 2 and possibly series 3) can lose their paint super easy. MJF and series 1 Cody are the worst offenders in my collection. I think series 1B has the gloss, at least I hope they do, I’ll find out when my Kenny Omega gets here
