Not a huge fan of AEW nor am I a fan of the figures much, but do buy some on occasion, I believe it was series 1 Kenny omega and Jericho was my first ones, I also bought a Cody (not sure what series) they were ok nothing much to complain about
Fast forward to now, I’ve purchased both CM PUNKS and now purchased the “supreme” line Cody, man what happened to this company? Punk has staining all over from the jacket, almost every joint is either SUPER tight and clicks with movement, or so loose it moves without wanting it to
And now cody, oh man what a mess up, these paint apps are horrible! Out of 4 supreme Cody’s at target I couldn’t find one that didn't have chunks of paint missing, scrapped hair or a blob of blond on the forehead, I finally decided on one that I would buy, brought it home and opened it to realize the gold on the tights has scraped off in multiple areas and were extremely sticky?….whatever, now this figure doesn’t even want to stand straight because where the torso meets the tights is so loose it wants to tip over, I can go on and on about how poorly made this figure is, for a price tag of over $40 retail? No thank you, this has no right to be the highest priced single wrestling action figure to hit retail in years or maybe even ever, so disappointed

The whole quality control took a nosedive around series 4 and fell off a cliff when they went to 2 lines. A lot of the facescans are appalling.

I feel like that with the joints on both WWE and AEW and it’s really causing me to lose interest
I have a display but I’ll still play with them sometimes and it really sucks when there is a super loose or tight joint
It’s funny because the figure that have good joints become my favorites regardless of how much I like the wrestler or attire like my favorites have been Series 4 Santana and Sammy Guevara. I’ve also had E65 Aiden English, E65 Eric Young and E36 Bo Dallas be good figures. I’m not a huge fan of any of them but since the figures have good joints, they instantly go to the top for me

My macho has minimal staining, but nothing comparable to how EVERY black fabric AEW figure stains.

My Cody was fantastic. It's one of my favorite figures of the year.
My Walmart Punk didn't have stains.
BUT, I still haven't forgiven Jazwares for the Amazon Young Bucks. Every review I watched had stains, so I never even opened mine.

The complete lack of QC from Jazwares is the reason I quit collecting. These figures aren't worth the price tag. All style no substance. Maybe down the road they'll get better but for now they're pretty poor.
