I am wondering how the fans turning on CM Punk has affected figure sales.
Almost all of his figures were on back order, now all are available. The AEW fans really seemed to have turned on Punk, and it was pretty sudden -- I wonder if we will see a lot of clearancing down the line

It’s just timing, none of the figures had hit full force by All Out
I think Unmatched 4 was back order until Late August then in stock after on Ringside then Amazon, Walmart exclusive goes in and out now but didn’t really hit stores heavy until after All Out, Ice Cream exclusive was never gonna stay sold out or back ordered they just had to get more shipments
I have a loose UM4 then one each of the Walmart one and I’m cool with that if no more come out

I haven't bought his first figure mainly because it looks so rushed and they picked that awful tights attire. The RSC one I plan on ordering it soon. I have mixed reaction to Punk after that press incident, but I would still like to have definitive figure of him in my AEW collection. I just hope his Supreme figure and ROH flashback figure still potentially gets released especially the Supreme as that the "definitive" CM Punk figure I want in my collection.

I think he is a big stupid baby but I’m still mad they’re probably not going to make any more figures. He didn’t start wearing attires that I really want until near the end before the injury. I wanted the red, the camo, the green, and the Full Gear shorts
My love for figure collecting precedes my feelings on the actual people, most of the time at least

He did that to the beloved supposed safe space company and everyone freaks out. He’s literally famous for a promo where he tears down the company he works for… Bryan was right. Fickle.

Considering both Punk figures were high in the sales charts and in back order weeks and weeks after the whole thing, seems to be more about timing than anything else.

I don't think anybody gotta worry about seeing his figures warm the shelves or get to low in price. I didn't like how everything went down and honestly I'm glad he's gone but ill still buy all the figures Jazwares and AEW wants to make of him(especially that Supreme).

I cancelled my order for the ice cream bar figure. In fact, that incident left such a foul taste in my mouth that I didn’t want anything. It’s not RSC’s fault. That incident did a lot of damage to me as a fan of everyone involved in that fight.

Omega i can appreciate sometimes, but Bucks have always been go away heat for me. Punk is the reason me and a lot of people tuned in to begin with. I only watched a couple shows and the 1st PPv before that. You can say it was unprofessional all you want but it was the most interesting thing to happen in years. Tony is to blame too. Mr “no comment” was real quiet that whole time and just let it explode.

Punk pretty much got me into AEW and now that he’s gone, I really only care about MJF and Wardlow so I don’t watch too much anymore. I’ll follow what’s going on but there’s nothing there for me that’s “must see” But the elite are looked at as “gods” in AEW and I guess that’s fine for them and the fanbase. I don’t see them doing much growing without a “big time star” and I’ll die on the hill of Kenny and the Bucks not being big time stars.

I still love Punk the wrestler, my personal #1 or #2 favorite of all time depending on the day. Still want to buy his stuff, still hope some kind of merch deal is struck that allows at least the Supreme and Luminary to come out, etc. That said, my biggest issue with those whole thing is disappointment in the way he pissed all over himself. He came into AEW and had a year where pretty much everything he did was gold. Every angle he was in was fantastic, pretty much every match was at least very good, with some great ones (the dog collar match with MJF and ironically the All-Out match with Mox being the best of them). He was basically handed the "keys to the kingdom" as it were and spent a year proving everything he'd ever said about himself was right, only to nuke it all over backstage wrestling bullshit. It's a shame, and annoying as fan who, form a performance standpoint, misses having him around. I'm also a big fan of Kenny and the Bucks as well, and I'm disappointed with how they handled themselves as well, at least from what we know.

I just would like to know if we are even going to get his supreme figure and his roh figure, like I’m legit hoping they still come out or we at least get a figure update soon!

I've got UM4, and I've wanted a no wrist tape, fully inked, street clothes Punk, since 2010... and now somebody has finally bothered to make one, I pretty much have all the Punks I need - if there aren't going to be any more that is. Would've liked an RSC, bloody, dog collar, two pack with MJF, but whatever. I am wondering how the fans turning on CM Punk has affected figure sales. Almost all of his figures were on back order, now all are available. The AEW fans really seemed to have turned on Punk, and it was pretty sudden -- I wonder if we will see a lot of clearancing down the line

Like I said in this thread…. I don’t see the big appeal to Punk. I liked him back in the day…he wasn’t a favorite but I did enjoy his work. That said he’s been gone long enough that I can honestly say I haven’t missed him. So it’ll be like Edge’s comeback for me I will be interested for a match or two, but then the appeal will fade away and he’ll just be another guy on the roster. So I will probably buy a figure but that’ll be it unless a different one really wows me. It’s what I did. I picked up (ordered) his standard released figure hoping for the trunks chase, but it wasn’t. And I also bought the WalMart on because that was the attire I wanted him in. And that was going to be for Punk figures for me unless they did a 3-Pack with Sting & Darby with the face paints. Other than that I was done with Punk figures. So if he is done in AEW I am fine with it. But as I had mentioned in that original post I thought he was a talented wrestler, but he was never a favorite of mine. And if I am being honest it was because of all of his baggage outside of the ring. All I ever read/heard was he was a jerk when not performing.

I loved Punk but lost all respect for him during the press conference so do not his figure in my aew display. I'd love to know what really happened because he didn't appear injured when he was shovelling down muffins so either kayfabe fake injury or was injured in the brawl?

Really hope his next two figures will be released. If that’s all we get I’d be content. The heads on the Supreme look much better than the ones we’ve got so far.
It’s a bummer as he was my favorite for several years, but it is what it is. While I really enjoyed him being back I was still more interested in some of the younger talent.

The injury was pretty clear and noticeable during the match, and people are talking about it on Twitter and etc. well before the scrum.

I think it was first reported that he injured his arm during the scuffle but then I’ve read some things saying people thought it happened during the match. I didn’t watch the PPV and haven’t gone back to watch either so I’ve just been operating off of the assumption he got hurt during the fight
