That's not how toys work in 2023. Limited is popular. I'm sorry you can't get figures. But don't blame the company when people can indeed get them. You just want an easy, cheap, quick way to get them ... which is logical, but that's not how it works. A company that can't even ship their mass-market product with any degree of reliability doesn't deserve credit for making limited editions. And that's not really toys in 2023; most major companies just aren't making necessary figures this limited anymore. Loyal Subjects is up against two well-established collector companies holding the same license more successfully (and a third company doing mass-market numbers with the Turtles); FOMO and aftermarket value are tools that might make sense for them to employ. Jazwares has a captive audience and toy aisle shelf space and they're still playing the dumbest games with this property. Hasbro and McFarlane both are big on limited.

I hate to wish bad on something, but I really HOPE Jazwares does lose the licenses sooner rather than later. Promise after promise and no delivery. Jeremy has never been great with a figure company (sure, rose color glasses everyone looks at te figures they grew up on in the jakks era if that was your childhood but you can’t disagree that there were plenty of monstrosities, false advertising, and all around terrible choices made throughout its run) Get AEW to hasbro or something. Jazwares is a joke God No! Hasbro will sell single packs for $35 a pop.

Makes me especially frustrated with Jazwares. If we got the Supreme 4 Punk announced over a year ago I would’ve been content with my Punk collection. I like the scans with the Blood and Guts figure but wish they didn’t have the blood on every head and that the shorts were white. I’ll be at least a little content if we get the WalMart figure so I can put the top half on the Blood and Guts bottom, but I have doubts we will get the figure now unless it’s bound to hit shelves shortly. I think there’s zero chance we see the ROH figure. I’m going to do the same. See what it looks like.

The irony of a "sought after" exclusive Kingston hanging next to the ho-hum mainline Kingston.

I def like it better than his other figure. I'm def suprised walmart doesn't try to get figures that would be better exclusives for them. If there was a walmart exclusive Malakai Black, Darby, Sting, penta, Rey, heck Abadon would probably sell better cuz they are all more unique looking. Just my opinion though and I'm just a mark that blindly buys every figure I can. Lol

Do we know when the All In Jamie Hayter figures are supposed to ship? I think I heard January mentioned at the reveal at the welcome party but there was a lot going on so I might've misheard. Haven't noticed anything in print anywhere.

Has anybody in the states found or received the Walmart Exclusive CM Punk figure yet besides that one guy? My preorder says Oct 2 but I don’t believe it.
