Unrivaled 13 ButcherTagging alongside of the Blade is the man big enough to wield him---the Butcher. Butcher is one of my all time favorites-he just kills it when heβs in the ring, just a brute badass ass kicking machine. Big meaty man chopping meat. Giant man capable of throwing a man at another man. Butcher comes to us wearing some cool entrance gear; a molded black leather jacket and some rad aviator style sunglasses. The jacket does fit him well but itβs the dreaded molded rubber and thus I hate it-get it away from me. The sunglasses however are AMAZING I love the style and fit on the figure and jazwares killed it with the paint apps to the lenses-they are a brown fade to black and at first glance I really thought they were somewhat translucent. Underneath the glasses, we see the face of the monster butcher rock n roll machine---and ill be honest this may just be the best headsculpt Jazwares has done! It is still a little slim and somewhat refined looking? To be Butcher, but these eyes look really good and it actually provides a somewhat more realistic interpretation of the character. I still like the head with the glasses on better but without glasses the headsculpt does look really good. Jazwares did a good job capturing the massive size of the Butcher, they also did a good job capturing his numerous tattoos which look super badass. He features many tattoos on his chest, arms, legs and back, Jazwares did a great job with the printing clarity and placement on the figure. Butcher comes to the ring wearing some black trunks with two large cleaver style blades on the front and the βButcherβ logo on the back in white; the font matching the logo of the Blade. Going down the figure, Butcher was equipped with some large kneepads-useful for that kneestomp taunt he does before kicking his opponents ass, black socks peeking out above his boots and large black boots with white lacing. I will admit that the boots seem to be a tad cartoonish in their size and design. They look good on the figure but when you really look close at them they seem to be sized larger for the figure and the laces seem spaced out further and they seem scaled larger? I dunno it just loses that realistic look to me. All in all this first Butcher figure was an amazing release for the line. I like the size Jazwares represented him in, his tattoos look great and best of all he looks great when posed up with his partner, the Blade. His look is strong enough that I think his figure could sell on its own not necessarily needing the Bladeβto a point I also feel that about the Blade figure, he could just be fantasy booked as a generic heel ala repo man or something but Butcher looks great and is ready to clobber right out of the package. Im really upset that they pulled the bunny and made her a mystical chase figure? Lame! the whole group are cool as hell, they each provide a strength to eachothers weakness and having the Bunny as a mastermind manager is great to these bad looking dudes. a great addition to the collection

Unmatched 7 Paccoming in today with a figure friday of the BASTARD PAC. right out of the gate i want to say i love this PAC figure!! they included three interchangeable headsculpts for the figure and they all look incredible! AEW has a strange fascination with eyepatches and it seems to have rubbed off on me a bit as ive absolutely started loving the look an eyepatch has on a character. the first headsculpt we see for the figure is one that has a black eyepatch over his right eye and a very determined, serious, somewhat aggressive look on his face with furrowed brows and a strict facial expression. he very much looks like a badass flight captain or air pirate? Admiral PAC, Brigadier general BASTARD? something out of solid snake forsure. the second headsculpt we are given is one that has his eye completely blindfolded with a white cloth. this headsculpt also looks really mythical like the classic 'lady justice' sculpture or something, really cool to fantasy book him hitting the Red Arrow blindfolded. the final sculpt we get is a classic PAC sculpt barring any eye gear and it shows him in an aggressive, determined shouting expression and oce again the headsculpting was done really well here, the eyes and beard and all around capture of expression look great. also props to them to correctly capturing PAC's hairstyle correctly on all three sculpts. moving down the figure, im pretty sure jazwares did not change the body recipe from his other figure, this time he comes to the ring wearing black and red themed gear consisting of black and red bicep ties, black wristbands, black trunks and kneepads with red accent lines and black kickpads. for accessories PAC was given an AEW microphone. all in all i am a huge fan of this new PAC figure. i cant imagine its easy to perform in the ring wearing an eyepatch but it certainly looks BADASS. Jazwares did a great job on all of the headsculpts for this character and i feel like this is a really SOLID figure. 10/10 would recommend buying.

β£οΈβ οΈπ€THE HOUSE ALWAYS WINSπ€β οΈβ£οΈ Unmatched 8 Buddy Matthewshis name may be Buddy but he's not your friend, guy; its Buddy Murphy from the House of Black!! really hyped to get this figure, Buddy has been killing it since his return to AEW and at first i questioned his partnership with HoB but it seems to be a perfect fit. This figure comes decked out with Buddy's full entrance gear consisting of his horned mask and trenchcoat with skeletal components placed throughout. the jacket is made of the dreaded rubber; i dont particularly hate it that much becuase its one of those 'what else could they have done?" scenarios and the arms are not limited by the rubber so its okay i suppose. the jacket is all black and the skeletal components are painted grey but they could honestly use a little black wash to bring them to life a little more. the masked head looks awesome! it captures Buddy's white mask with dark grey antlers, the dark mist marked around the eye and mouth and some grey flair details along the outside edges. since the mask is sculpted to the head it obviously looks great and fits the figure fine. underneath the mask, we see the first ever AEW Jazwares Buddy Murphy head and to be honest it looks really good. i feel like it might be a tad oversized on the scale, but it seems to capture Buddy's likeness in that certain Jazwares light. my honest and true opinions is that it genuinely looks like those resin heads you can buy from customizers, it just lacks that photorealistic nature. the body recipe looks great for Buddy, his physique is insane if i could have any comment i would have liked to see a new ultra shredded physique for this guy but what Jazwares chose is passable. interestingly enough just like his mattel figures, jazwares painted on his right elbow pad and he is wearing a white hand wrap on his right hand and white wristtape on his left. this Buddy figure comes to the ring wearing his trademark ripped shorts and jazwares did a great job bringing this look to life, they molded the closure on his waist and he has sculpted detailing for the laced closure on the front of his shorts. he has a white 'Matthews logo stitched on his right hip and the HoB scythe logo on his back left pocket. finishing up this figure, Buddy has black kneepads-the right featuring the HoB logo and all black kickpads. all in all this is a GREAT FTITL figure for Buddy Murphy Matthews. Jazwares did a great job capturing his likeness in the headsculpts and the body recipe seems to also be spot on. the ripped shorts look great and the overall poseability of this figure is amazing. just like Buddy himself, you might not expect this figure to be as good as it actually is!
