JAZWARES’ AEW UNRIVALED SERIES 2!
Today was a great mail day! Just in time for Christmas, the AEW Unrivaled series 2 finally arrived (It was pre-ordered back in July on Ringside Collectibles), and I couldn’t wait to make a review for those, so they were taken right out of the shipper box straight to the photoshoot.
As usual, here are some packaging pictures…
Pentagon Jr / Penta El Zero M (or whatever he is called this week) & Rey Fenix
“Hangman” Adam Page & “The Natural” Dustin Rhodes
Joooooooooooon Moxley & MJF
Just like the first wave, those figures are pretty solid, look great (even if not as accurate as a Mattel Elite figure headsculpt for some), and show a nice step forward from Jazwares, who fixed the skin tone issues they had with the previous figures. And now, let’s #LetEmBreathe!
Pentagon Jr and Fenix were the ones I was waiting for the most. Those guys are definitely very toyetic, so it’s not a coincidence that multiple brands are making figures of the Lucha Bros. (I also have the Boss Fight Studios figures on pre-order, but God knows when those will show up). The ‘CERO MIEDO’ hand for Pentagon Jr was a must, and people would have rioted if it wasn’t included. The only nitpick i would have is the lack of a second head for Penta (as it was displayed at ToyFare back in February), but I’m very happy with the one we got.
“¡ Porque nosotros somos los Luchas Brothers, y no tenemos… CERO MIEDO !”
“¡ ANIMO !”
Jon Moxley made his debut in AEW at Double or Nothing ‘19, and became the AEW Champion very quickly. His signature entrance throught the crowd still captivates all the fans, so I couldn’t just have him pose in the ring, he had to come from the outside!
The purveyor of violence comes with the AEW Championship belt and his signature jacket
“One day, they will come at my funeral to make sure that I stay dead!”
Hangman (and his giant feet) comes with a lasso, and an alternative hand. He does have pretty big fit. But he’s hangman. You know what they say about men with big feet… He could have included a bottle of booze, but that might not fare well in the toy section…
“COWBOY SHIT! COWBOY SHIT!”
“The Natural” Dustin Rhodes does not have any accessories, but makes up for it by being a giant. We’ve all seen the complaints about the scale issues, and the size difference in the ‘Blood Brothers’ two-pack (Ringside exclusive!). This is pretty much the same figure, without the blood.
“Keep steppin’!”
And last but certainly not least, MJF, Maxwell Jacob Friedman, comes with his signature Burberry scarf, and a microphone. This should not surprise anybody, as this man is always killing it with his promos, so giving him a mic was 100% a necessity.
“I AM BETTER THAN YOU, AND YOU KNOW IT!”
And now, let’s have some fun with them!
Those 2 set of brothers have had countless classic matches together, and it is unreal to finally have them as action figures.
“Escalera de la muerte!”
“*shhhhhh*… CERO… MIEDO!”
“He’s gonna break his arm!!”
“Fenix walked on the top rope from one side of the ring to the other!”
“CANADIAN DESTROYER!!!!”
“CERO MIEDO! Clap clap clapclapclap! CERO MIEDO! clap clap clapclapclap!”
“I don’t need a partner… I don’t need a friend…”
“… I need my older brother!”
“Hey, cut my music! Hold on, hold on, I’m seeing a bunch of marks who are looking at toys, like a bunch of children. How old are you people? Are you really buying toys while being adults? Are you kidding me? Well, you’ll never see me go that low…You see, I’m better than you, and you know it…”
“Adam Page has had enough of listening to MJF…”
“and he’s setting him up for a…”
“ BUCKSHOT LARIAT! ”
“Here is the main event from a few weeks ago, on AEW: Winter is Coming!”
“PARADIGM SHIFT!”
AEW Unrivaled series 2 is a great wave, and I cannot wait for the recently announced series 3 (already pre-ordered). Series 3 will have PAC, Riho, Darby Allin, a new set of Nick and Matt Jackson with different attire, and Orange Cassidy, with real hands-in-pocket action!
More news at 11:00… DYNAMITE!
