TOYFARCE REVIEWS:
JAZWARES’ AEW UNRIVALED SERIES 1 + “A LITTLE BIT OF THE BUBBLY” CHRIS JERICHO!
With the second wave starting to get shipped out (thanks, Ringside Collectibles!), ToyFarce figured it was time to post about the AEW Unrivaled Series 1!
AEW, the wrestling company founded by Tony Khan, Cody Rhodes and the Young Bucks, Nick and Matt Jackson, is barely over a year old, and their action figures have started to roll out in the summer (not without any obstacles…) and the company Jazwares (and Wicked Cool Toys) have done an excellent job on those figures. AEW needed to get someone that knew how to make wrestling toys, to have a great product right off the bat. They needed someone that would have extensive experience into making wrestling action figures… Enter Jeremy Padawer, who worked at Jakks Pacific during the WWF/WWE action figures glorious days, and you have a perfect match.
The design of the packaging is pretty great, different, which makes them pop out a bit more than the usual action figure blister cards.
Cody and Brandi Rhodes
Kenny Omega and Chris Jericho
The Young Bucks, Matt and Nick Jackson
Action ring!
Ringside Collectibles Exclusive “A Little Bit of the Bubbly” Chris Jericho
And now, to quote the guys from the Major Wrestling Figure Podcast, let’s … LET’EM BREATHE!!! (#letembreathe)
“Good bye, and good night… BANG!”
The Kenny Omega figure is very cool. The entrance gear is pretty well done, with the single wing in the back. The likeness is pretty good (remember it’s the very first one). I can’t wait to see more of those.
SUPERKICK PARTYYYYYYYYYYY !
The Young Bucks are wearing their Double or Nothing 2019 Elvis outfits, which are pretty detailed and look very nice. They can be put in that Young Bucks pose that I imagine 90% of the people who will get them will display them in. They can also superkick. What more can we ask?
“Wrestling has more than one royal family…”
Cody and Brandi Rhodes (aka lil’ Bran bran, as Brandi calls her herself) are also wearing their Double or Nothing 2019 outfits, along with the weight-belt and the sledgehammer that Cody smashed a throne with, during their entrance .
I’m becom.. I’m becom…I’m becoming! I’m becom.. I’m becom…I’m becomiiiing… Judas in… Judas in my mind!
Le Champion, the Painmaker, the Demo God, the leader of the Inner Circle, Chris Jericho also comes complete with entrance gear, leather jacket, hat and scarf. The tattoos on his arm are very detailed compared to previous incarnations of Jericho in action figure form, also. There’s even the Fozzy ‘F’ on his hand. Very cool detail.
We’re now going to have a showcase, because why not? They’re wrestling figures after all! Just imagine the following comments in the voice of Jim Ross, Tony Schiavone or Excalibur!
BOOM! Let's go ignite !
Dabajabaza in a flash of light !
Shagga ziggy BOOM! And then it's night!
Strike the fools- Bring the plumes!
DYNAMITE!
(I may not know the lyrics)
V-TRIGGEEEEER !!!!
Kenny Omega is setting Chris Jericho up for his finishing maneuver…
THE ONE-WINGED ANGEEEL!!!
What?! Jericho kicked out and hit Kenny with THE JUDAS EFFECT!
Cody to the rescue, trying to set up for a CROSS RHODES!!
Reversed into the Walls of Jericho!! Somebody end this madness!
The Young Bucks just arrived to the ring and…
SUPERKIIIIIIIICK!
Even Brandi (aka lil’ Bran bran) hits Jericho with a SPEAR, for good measures!
THE… ELITE… THE…THE… ELITE !
It’s time for celebration, folks, as we’re getting to the end of this showcase!
Chris Jericho, looking at the stars!
Speaking of Jericho, the Ringside Collectibles Exclusive “A Little Bit of the Bubbly” figure is a great addition to the set. Jericho said on his podcast (Talk is Jericho) that the sentence “A little bit of the bubbly” came from the movie “Dumb and Dumber”, with Jim Carrey’s character, Lloyd, saying it when they are at the Icelanding Snow Owl Benefit banquet, and it became viral after people kept retweeting it and editing it in many songs (my favorite being the ‘Mambo number 5’ version). This man has been a catchphrase generating machine for 3 decades, and I hope we’ll get many more of those for the years to come.
“Ooouh! A little bit of the bubbly!”
Beautiful, shiny belt that would end up lost that same evening…and not in a wrestling match ^^
A very decent first offering, and I cannot wait to get my hands on the second wave (which includes Jon Moxley, Hangman Page, MJF, Dustin Rhodes, and the Lucha Brothers, Pentagon and Fenix).
By the way, do yourself a favor and follow Jeremy Padawer on social media (@jeremycom on Twitter, and @jeremypadawer on Instagram). He posts a lot about upcoming figures, but also does lots of giveaways and will very often buy a random person an item they want on eBay. Need I say more?
More news at 11:00… DYNAMITE!
