JAZWARES’ UNRIVALED SERIES 5 + HIKARU SHIDA FROM SERIES 6

It’s Wednesday, you know what that means… ToyFarce reviews!

This week, we’re having a look at the AEW Unrivaled series 5 by Jazwares (minus Jon Moxley) + Hikaru Shida from series 6! I didn’t pick the Moxley from series 5 because I already own the one from series 2, and I didn’t pick the newer Jericho, Penta, Fenix and MJF from series 6 because…well, I do not have much space left, so i’ll start to pick and choose and only get new characters that I like (Sorry, Hager).

Series 5 (minus Moxley:) Jurassic Express (Luchasaurus and Jungle Boy), Hangman Adam Page with updated outfit, and SCU’s Frankie Kazarian and Scorpio Sky.

First off, the newer Hangman figure, with updated outfit (pants instead of trunks), and a scarf over his mouth. He comes with an extra pointing hand (for the Hangman pose) and a jug and a glass, since he is an alcoholic. Yay!

“COWBOY SHIT! COWBOY SHIT!”

SCU’s Frankie Kazarian and Scorpio Sky come with very nice SCU jackets (even if i’m not a huge fan of those big rubbery jackets where you can’t move the arms at all). The details on them are pretty nice, with their catchphrase printed on Kaz’s back. The jackets are a bit of a pain in the @$$ (wow, such censor!) to remove and put back on, as you need to literally behead Scorpio Sky to remove his. They also come with the AEW Tag Team Champion belts. Unfortunately, they have broken up since… Too bad we didn’t get a SCU Christopher Daniels to go with them. RIP SCU :(

“THIS… IS THE WORST REVIEW…”

Jurassic Express seems to be the most toyetic ones from that wave. Those guys not only look great in real life, but their action figures are incredible. Luchasaurus and Jungle Boy both come with an extra set of hands. The fact that we can put them in their signature entrance pose (Jungle Boy on Luchasaurus’ shoulders) is freaking amazing and I’m sure I am far from being the only one who will display them like that. They’re easily the highlights of that already very good wave for me.

“Luchasaurus, you fossil! - Hey! Don’t call me the F-word!”

“Luchasaurus, you fossil! - Hey! Don’t call me the F-word!”

Series 6 Hikaru Shida is a great first figure too. Articulation and likeness are very good. The outfit looks great. She comes with the Women’s champion belt, but unfortunately, no kendo stick. It is nice to get a few of the female wrestlers from the roster, with Britt Baker also already released in the first Unmatched wave.

“From Kanagawa, Japan…”

“From Kanagawa, Japan…”

“HIKARUUUUUUUU SHIIIIIIIIIDAAAAAAAA!”

Shida always has some great outfits, some were based on Final Fantasy characters, but I imagine it will be tricky to get those in figure form, because of copyrights and all.

JAZWARES’ AEW UNRIVALED SERIES 4

It’s Wednesday, you know what that means… ToyFarce reviews!

This week, we’re taking a look at the AEW Unrivaled Series 4 from Jazwares/Wicked Cool Toys! Another solid wave, with 4 brand new “first time ever” figures, and 2 repeats…but what repeats! That new Kenny Omega figure is spectacular! Here’s a look at the wave in their packaging -

The new Kenny Omega figure is now one of my all-time favorite wrestling figures, not only from AEW, but in general! The likeness is spot-on! The expression, the gear, etc… Kudos to the guys at Jazwares/Wicked Cool Toys! It’s perfect. He comes with an extra set of hands.

I hear the battle cry…Under the Devil’s Sky…

The One Winged Angel screams… It fuels my Hopes and Dreams… THE BEST BOUT MAAAACHIIIIINE!

Cody comes with an extra ‘serious’ headsculpt, in case you don’t want to display him with the goofy smile head (which I will, because…goofy smile head!). The details on his gear, belt and soft goods t-shirt are great. In that instance, this is one of those where the chase version is a bit better, since it has the Metal Gear Solid inspired logo with Cody’s dog on it, and since I am a sucker for anything MGS, I really wouldn’t mind having the variant instead.

ADRENALINE… IN MY SOUL… SOMETHING SOMETHING CODY RHODES!

Santana and Ortiz, aka “Proud and Powerful” (or formerly LAX in Impact) both look amazing. It’s tough to pick a favorite in that wave, because there’s so many good ones. Santana comes with an extra head (from when he feuded with Moxley and had an eye patch), extra hands, a ‘rock in a sock’ madball weapon and a puerto-rican flag. Ortiz comes with a second headsculpt (with braids), extra hands, and the ultimate weapon: LA CHANCLA (best toy accessory EVER!).

If I wasn’t Proud, then I wouldn’t be Powerful… If I wasn’t Proud, then I wouldn’t be Powerful…

Sammy Guevara, the Spanish God comes with sunglasses, his leather jacket and a few signs saying “HIT ME UP!”, like he usually show to the camera during picture-in-picture commercials (which is a freaking clever way to still do something while the commercials are on, if you ask me!).

Last but not least, “Broken” Matt Hardy comes with his glorious Broken attire, but also with his trusted accomplice, the drone Vanguard-1, which also has a Matt Hardy hologram. You read that right, the accessory has accessories! Do the people at Jazwares have any limit??

DELETE!! DELETE!! DELETE!!

That’s it for Series 4! Series 5 will have Luchasaurus, Jungle Boy, SCU’s Frankie Kazarian and Scorpio Sky, and new versions of Jon Moxley and ‘Hangman’ Adam Page. It is already being dispatched to those who ordered it early, but this time, I had a brainfart, and forgot to pre-order it once I got my paycheck (silly me!), and now, Luchasaurus is sold out, and I’m very very sad! (I think I’ll just pick and choose from now on, since I’m starting to run low on space in that AEW ring, so I will try to get at least the SCU guys and maybe the Jurassic Express two-pack, even though I would have prefered the single version Jungle boy).

Series 6 has already been announced and will have 4 repeats (Jericho, MJF, Penta and Rey Fenix) with Jake Hager and most importantly, Hikaru Shida as new characters.

WHAT COULD IT BE? AN AEW-JAZWARES MYSTERY!

Over the last week, a few mysterious listings have appeared on Amazon: several All Elite Wrestling products, but no pictures!

BREAKING NEWS:

WHAT COULD IT BE? AN AEW-JAZWARES MYSTERY!

Over the last week, a few mysterious listings have appeared on Amazon: several All Elite Wrestling products, but no pictures!

PicsArt_05-03-12.46.25.jpg

2 of them seem to correspond to the arrival of wave 5, but another listing lists ‘Battle packs’, as in two-packs! The other is listed as ‘Figures Stage’. Boy, we can’t wait to get some playsets. If they’re anything like the “Titantron entrance playset” from back in the days (the Jakks Pacific days), it will be really cool. We also need an updated “Trash Talking Stage”! That thing was amazing!

Do you remember it? I can still quote most of the lines…

Do you remember it? I can still quote most of the lines…

Dr Britt Baker DMD has been trolling Jazwares and Jeremy Padawer on Twitter, saying that there will be an entire wave of Cody Rhodes before she gets her own action figure, but could she be onto something? Do check the entire Britt Baker / Jeremy Padawer feud on Twitter, it’s very entertaining. We really hope that they’re BFF in real life, though. Jeremy even teased a two-pack with the first-ever Britt Baker figure coming with a Cody figure and her reaction was priceless.

Here are a couple of Britt’s tweets to Jeremy:

2.PNG
1.PNG

A trusted source, Ryan C., told ToyFarce that one of the Battle Packs could very much be a Cody Rhodes two-pack, coming with 2 Cody Rhodes figures: One with his normal “American Nightmare” blond hair look, and one with a suit and black hair, like he had on TV for a couple of weeks. Would you buy a Cody Rhodes double pack?

But after Britt Baker’s feud on Twitter with Jazwares, ToyFarce has a hunch that one of the next announcement could very well be what she’s hoping for: An entire Dr. Britt Baker DMD wave. A “The Doctor will see you now” wave, if you will: 6 different outfits from her biggest matches in AEW, including 2 very bloody ones. You can even have the chase versions with her entrance jacket, and the rare version with the crutches or the wheelchair she used when injured. Think about it!

PicsArt_05-03-02.16.27.jpg

We will know more once Jazwares makes the official announcements. Stay tuned!

REVIEW: JAZWARES’ AEW UNRIVALED SERIES 3!

Another great mail day, with Fedex bringing me the AEW Unrivaled Series 3, coming straight from Ringside Collectibles only a few hours ago. Pictures were taken right after opening the package! (What wouldn’t I do for the 2 people that will read that?). Let’s check them out!

“Yeah… I don’t look too bad!”

“Yeah… I don’t look too bad!”

“Well… Lucky you!”

First off, the new Young Bucks, with their ‘Golden Elite’ attire (which rules!). Nick’s likeness is pretty good, but Matt’s headsculpt is… close enough? I understand it’s trickier to do a screaming expression, but there’s something off with it. I personaly prefered the one from the first wave. Anyway… Be careful with the fabric part of the Bucks’ pants: There is glitter on it! It’s all over my hands and t-shirt. And the ring. And the floor.

*THE - ELITE - THE - THE - ELITE!*

*THE - ELITE - THE - THE - ELITE!*

Great details on the jackets, which unfortunately cannot be removed (or it would be a mega-pain in the ass to put back on).

“The Bastard” PAC looks pretty good, even if his headsculpt kinda looked like the Hellboy reboot main character at first. He comes with 2 headsculpts (normal hair, and hair all over the face) and a (plastic) steel chair.

“OUTTA MY HEAD…”

“OUTTA MY HEAD…”

“YOU’RE OUT OF TIME!”

“YOU’RE OUT OF TIME!”

Darby Allin is a great figure for a wrestler that had never been made into an action figure before. He comes with a skateboard, the jacked is removable, and the details on all the tattoos are spot on!

*Guitar strumming* "I don't sleep 'cause my head's on fire”

Another first time figure for the first AEW Women’s champion, Riho! (It’s actually been a while since we have seen her on TV, because of the Covid situation…). She comes with 3 alternative hands, and the Women’s Championship belt.

“From Shinagawa, Japan, the AEW Women’s Champion…”

“From Shinagawa, Japan, the AEW Women’s Champion…”

“RIIIIIIIIIIIHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”

“RIIIIIIIIIIIHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”

20.jpg

Last but not least, another first action figure for the hugely popular Orange Cassidy, ‘the king of Sloth style’. He comes with 3 alternative hands, his jacket and t-shirt are soft-goods (it’s one piece, the tshirt is actually just the front with velcro on one side! Ingenious!) and the top part of his pants is a rubber piece, which allows him to put his hands in his pocket. This is a great, great design feature. I’m only worried about the durability, and how it will look like in 5-10 years, but for now, it’s awesome. Amazing job, Jazwares!

“Can we at least get a pose, Orange?”

“Can we at least get a pose, Orange?”

“Well… close enough.”

“Well… close enough.”

And now, it’s time for wrestling pics!

Jericho: “Don’t do it, Cassidy!! Don’t you dare put your hands in your pocket!!!”

*Crowd cheers intensely AF*

AEW Unrivaled Series 3 is a decent wave from Jazwares, with 3 ‘first-time ever’ figures, along with another pair of Young Bucks and PAC (which had already been made before as an action figure by Matten when he was in WWE). It’s great to see new characters in toy form, and I cannot wait for more. Series 4 has not been shown yet, only a ‘Sammy Guevara, the Spanish God’ figure was announced by Jeremy Padawer. Crossing fingers for a Santana and Ortiz, along with other first time figures for other characters (Jurassic Express, pretty please!!). Also, a Brodie Lee figure would be a nice tribute to him.

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.

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.

“COWBOY SHIT! COWBOY SHIT!”

“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.

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!

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.

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.

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?

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 .

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 zigg…

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?

FAULTY HULK HOGAN TALKING FIGURE STUCK SAYING "BROTHER" IN A LOOP, MAKING IT AN EVEN BETTER HULK HOGAN FIGURE

A collector in Michigan reported that his Hulk Hogan figure kept just repeating "BROTHER" in an infinite loop.

 

BREAKING NEWS:

FAULTY HULK HOGAN TALKING FIGURE STUCK SAYING "BROTHER" IN A LOOP, MAKING IT AN EVEN BETTER HULK HOGAN FIGURE

With all the wrestling-related content happening in the last few weeks, such as WWE's SummerSlam and Payback happening 2 weeks in a row, AEW's All Out this saturday, and the announcement of the Major Wrestling Figure Podcast action figures ( #ScrathThatFigureItch ), ToyFarce felt like it was time for some wrestling-related news! 


A collector in Michigan reported that, after trying to make his vintage Hulk Hogan action figure talk in order to show it to a friend, the figure's battery must have leaked or some connection must have gotten faulty with time, because the figure kept just repeating "BROTHER" in an infinite loop. 

 "To my surprise, the figure is actually even better now. Having him say "BROTHER" in a constant loop makes it even more accurate and i'm so glad to have him in my collection. It's now my most prized possession. It's the closest to the real thing!" said the collector.

BREAKING NEWS:

AFTER AEW FIGURES ANNOUNCEMENT, LOCAL INDY WRESTLING PROMOTIONS TO RELEASE FIGURES TOO!!


2019 has been a great year for wrestling toy fans. Mattel started their Ultimate Edition series of high quality figures, the Young Bucks revived the LJN brand, Storm Collectibles announced a Jushin Thunder Liger, Boss Fight Studio announced their Lucha Brothers figures, and a new company, AEW (All Elite Wrestling) was born.

But that was just the beginning! AEW announced a few days before the New York Toy Fair that they have partnered with Jazwares to produce AEW wrestling figures, with the likes of Chris Jericho, Kenny Omega, The Young Bucks, along with Cody and his wife Brandi Rhodes.

After hearing this announcement, several local Indy wrestling promotions have decided to release figures too, so fans all around the world will be able  to get their hands on all their favorite pro wrestlers and make their own figure feds!

The WRF (Wrestling Ring Federation) will release a figure of their champion and main eventer, Carapace Bobby, along with his eternal nemesis, Turtleshell Joe.

Super Wrestling announced playsets and different figures of all their main stars, such as Johnny SmallPackage, Terry Piledriver, Frank Elbowdrop and everyone's favorite lady, Sue Plex.

Meanwhile, WFF (Wrestling Figure Federation) will finally release a figure of Paul Smackage and Sunset Flip, after years of fans begging for those. (As long as Edge and Christian agree about it).

Wrestling fans, be ready to make some space in your 'Detolf Zigglers', because more wrestling figures are on their way!

We, at ToyFarce News, hope that Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins will manage to contain their excitement, and hope to hear from them on the Major Wrestling Figure Podcast!
