Not sure if mentioned elsewhere, but apparently this same site will be putting up a new figure tonight at 5pm pacific time. Got an email about it earlier today. No clue who or what this is but wanted to give anyone who might be interested a heads up. The email said “iconic” figure so my guess is Sting. Apparently it's literally just the Unmatched Series 2 Sting but in the 1 of 1000 box/slab. That's it. No deco difference, no variation of any kind from the previous figure, just the exact same figure with different packaging and a 1 of 1000 sticker slapped on the front of it. What an absolute joke and slap in the face of fans of this line, they couldn't even be bothered to change up the figure in any signifcant way while charging $50 for it, and that's before tax and shipping I'm looking at my Luminaries Sting right now, and this one is the same exact thing excluding the baseball bat and interchangeable hands for x2 the price

Why would you want a straight up re-release of a commonly found mass produced figure for $50 plus $20+ in shipping? At least give him a noticeable repaint of some kind to differentiate it from previous releases. Also MOC collectors would still be able to appreciate a Sting with new deco of some kind instead of just a lazy direct re-release

You can buy the ShopAEW or Walmart Stings instead and leave this for the completionists

If you enjoy it and want to buy it then more power to you, but that doesn't change my opinion

I can still critique it regardless though, that's kinda how public forums work. You don't have to either praise a product or be completely silent about it

My Punk arrived today. Pretty rad, even for a rerelease.

My Punk shows up tomorrow, what are the thoughts on it? Curious what to expect. Is it overpriced? yes, don't care or I wouldn't have ordered.

Packed super well and the acrylic case is super sturdy and custom made for the figure. The QR code is cool as well and links to your serial number to verify authenticity. I have sting coming soon as well and can’t wait. Are the figures bland? Maybe. Was it expensive? Maybe. But I’m with you and don’t care. Totally worth it for me and looks great displayed in the case on a self.

I thought the images of it looked fantastic and as a strictly MIBber, it looks like it would also look fantastic on my shelf being in that case. Super cool move to link the qr to verify authenticity too. Thanks for the feedback!

Still say a bit more effort in the packaging would've went a long way. How many variants do they have in the trading card market? Colors, holos, anything to spruce up the tired Unrivaled coloring.

These figures being so easily accessible to an overseas market and being easy to stay up to date on, combined with how they're presented, made these an easy get for me.
I know they're overpriced, but I can always tap out at any point as well and be happy with having the first X however many in the line that I have.
