Over on YouTube Nerd News Today had Zach Oat from DTS on to talk about SDCC and they announced a partnership with AEW. Shown were vinimates of Sting and CM Punk from Holiday Bash. Also doing minimates and statues.

Lol the Jazzwares figures are rotting on shelves so we introduce knock off Lego figures that look 10 times worse.

Damn, based on the above response no one seems to realize how popular minimates once was, were and still are. Diamond select has done so many franchises in this form including, back to the future, beetlejuice, ninja turtles, every marvel and mcu, walking dead and so many more. Its not something id currently collect, but them signing a new merch deal can only be a positive to get more eyes on the product.
Unreal the negative in this forum nowadays

I’d buy the Punks made I’m sure. Never was a Sting fan, but this looks kind of cool.

No,most things like Beetlejuice ,back to future, Edward scissorhands just get the lego thing and sometimes statues … I think the 6-8in diamond select articulated figures would be awesome ,idk why they don’t make more things,seems they just do superhero movies now…I love there real ghostbusters 6in figures, they’re my fav

Has* (hard to criticize IQ when you can't structure a sentence properly) and every Wal-Mart I go to being filled to the brim with the same AEW figures clogging up shelves disagrees. The only place AEW figures sell well is RSC and that's not nearly enough to keep the line viable.

The only place AEW figures sell well is RSC and that's not nearly enough to keep the line viable. Ah, but this is still conjecture on your part. Unless you have concrete sales statistics to back up your data, you are basing it off of your opinions--and opinions don't matter in business. I always find it particularly cute when people such as yourself cite what you see as your source. Newsflash for you: no company in their right minds will continue an unsuccessful toyline, least of all start two separate categories and skus ON TOP of their regular line (one of which is a higher price point)--if the line were unsuccessful. Need evidence of that? Uh...the UFC line by the very same company. The line does very well. They have the next few years mapped out. The line will carry on for some time. Long story short--while you sit here and insult others' intelligence-- do so with the knowledge that you're talking out of your cornhole. You don't know what you're talking about. PS--you also seem to be under the impression that these are by the same company. They're not. Jazwares does the figures. The Minimates (which have literally been a thing by this company for over 20 years) are by Diamond Select. You certainly have a pattern of smugness while being incorrect. Look at you go.

Lmao I have no evidence the line is doing bad yet in the same post you claim the line is doing great with the exact same amount of conjecture and information. I'm also aware they are made by different people, believe it or not I have reading capabilities that you seem to lack based off you thinking I'm the one who started insulting people's intelligence, however I still find it incredibly silly to start a line of niche figures of a niche product that despite your best efforts to convince me is selling great continues to clog shelves everywhere I go and is clogging shelves across the country based off every report I see. You act as though we've never seen stores carry struggling lines, let alone struggling wrestling lines, like we haven't seen two TNA lines do exactly the same.

Except let's look at how many lines of both TNA released before they went under. And lest we forget that only reason the first one did was due to Marvel Toys shuttering. Neither introduced multiple SKUs, either. Jazwares has. And they would only do so if they were exceeding expectations. No company spends money to lose money. Especially Jeremy Padawer. Also, peep the name. I speak to people in higher places than "I walked into Walmart". I know for a fact the line continues to do well. FACT. Can you say the same? No. So, keep your biased opinion to yourself.

"no company spends money to lose money" in reference to a toy line of a company millions of dollars in the red and pumping 8 figures in to a video game that looks awful and has zero chance of breaking even. "peep the name" has to be one of the most cringy responses I've ever seen like this board hasn't had thousands of clowns claiming their uncle's cousin's truck driving nephews give them scoops. You literally created your account to defend AEW/Jazzwares based off your comment history and I'm the one who has a biased opinion 😂.

How *does* he do it? Also, cringey or no, I also can tell you many other interworkings, information, and things about many other companies, and have done so using many different user names across the web. I certainly don't need to pad my resume or validate my credentials--least of all to you, of all people: a smug, pompous know it all, know nothing whose entire knowledge base centers around his immediate surroundings and what he's feeling that day. Here's the thing: time will prove me right, and you wrong-- by your standards. And I have a goooooood memory. I'll be back in a year or two to ask ya how your "predictions" panned out.

Common’ children, okay nice here gosh darn it! This is why we can’t have nice things anymore!
All joking aside, these don’t personally appeal to me however I’m glad to see AEW is doing well enough and garnering enough attention as well as revenue presumably that another company is willing to manufacture their products. May pick this up solely because it’s CM Punk and Sting honestly

Or maybe I'm someone who's known in the toy community, and don't want some of the things I reveal to be traced back to myself or people I know. But, that certainly checks out that you have no dog in the fight, as you choose a dog in the fight.
