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 :(

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.

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…”

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.

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…

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!).

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??

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!

Screenshot_20210503-103539__01.jpg
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: SUPER7 NJPW KAZUCHIKA OKADA

Fresh from Ringside Collectibles, the long awaited Super7 NJPW figures were finally released…and the crowd went MILD!!

SUPER7 NJPW KAZUCHIKA OKADA

It's Wednesday. You know what that means… ToyFarce reviews!

Fresh from Ringside Collectibles, the long awaited Super7 NJPW figures were finally released…and the crowd went MILD!!

First off, for those unfamiliar with NJPW (New Japan Pro Wrestling), Kazuchika Okada is one of the best wrestlers on the planet these days, only eclipsed by a few. His matches with Kenny Omega are legendary (their matches regularly scored over 5 stars…on a 5 star rating, and they share the only 7 star out of 5 match in the history of wrestling). Here’s his entrance theme:

The figures come with their own mini-shipper boxes, which is nice. Shipper box collectors will go crazy about those. The boxes also have a ‘sleeve’, with the NJPW logo, which looks very classy.

PicsArt_03-17-05.44.07.jpg
PicsArt_03-17-05.44.31.jpg
PicsArt_03-17-05.44.48.jpg

The figure itself? Well… The likeness is unfortunately quite off. He comes with 2 different headsculpts, which are not that different from one another, one of his signature entrance robes, the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship belt, 5 different sets of hands, and some Rainmaker money.

PicsArt_03-17-05.47.52.jpg

Now, let’s talk about the elephant in the room: The ugly-ass ab crunch. When I saw the first few pics from people starting to get their figures, and saw that hard-to-miss ab crunch, I believe I said out loud “OH NO”. Fortunately, as ugly as it is, it’s not that bad in person. It looks bad if you over-bend the figure, like this…

PicsArt_03-17-05.48.10.jpg
PicsArt_03-17-05.48.53.jpg

…but if you keep the figure in ‘normal’ standing positions, it’s not as bad as it looked on those first pics, thank goodness.

PicsArt_03-17-05.49.16.jpg
PicsArt_03-17-05.49.39.jpg

The scale is unfortunately quite off too, as Okada is supposed to be a very tall man, while this figure is the same size as your standard wrestling figure (and it’s even worse when compared to the other Super7 NJPW figures, which has Tomohiro Ishii at about the same size, while he is a lot shorter in real life).

Talking about other wrestling figures, let’s revisit some of the Rainmaker’s rivalry, with 2 former Bullet Club members (even though Bullet Club is supposed to be 4…4…4…4 LIFE).

DAMMIT, you have to warn people when you zoom out like that… Well, folks, here is my kitchen.

The bottom line is this: Could it have been better? Yes. Does it look like the prototype we were shown? Not really. But, am I happy that I get to have an action figure of “The Rainmaker” Kazuchika Okada to display next to my other wrestling figures? Absolutely. This is probably the only Okada figure we will get in a long time, so we’ll make do with what we have.

Series 1 had Okada, Hiroshi Tanahashi, Tomohiro Ishii and Will Ospreay, and series 2 had already been announced and will include most of the members of the Ingobernables de Japon faction: Tetsuya Naito, Hiromu Takahashi, Bushi and EVIL (who has now joined the Bullet Club, betraying his friends).

REVIEW: MATTEL WWE ULTIMATE EDITION TRIPLE H AND THE ROCK

REVIEW: MATTEL WWE ULTIMATE EDITION TRIPLE H AND THE ROCK

Mattel has been doing a decent job with the WWE Elite figures for years, but I had yet to get any of the ‘Ultimate Edition’ ones. After trying to convince myself that I didn’t need it for months, I saw a review online that convinced me otherwise (Thanks, Adventures in Collecting Podcast youtube channel!).

I picked up Triple H and Rock “The Dwayne” Johnson because I started watching wrestling in the late 90’s, and saw those 2 guys become huge main eventers and their feuds were memorable. I always wanted a ‘Ultimate’ The Rock figure (no pun intended…ok, maybe) and this looked like this could be it.

Some packaging shots:

REVIEW: JAZWARES’ AEW UNRIVALED SERIES 1 + “A LITTLE BIT OF THE BUBBLY” CHRIS JERICHO!

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.

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.

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.

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!”

“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?

REVIEW: MATTEL'S WWE ELITE 79 - THE UNDERTAKER (COLLECTOR'S EDITION)

MATTEL'S WWE ELITE 79 - THE UNDERTAKER (COLLECTOR'S EDITION)

“Hold on, playa! Tonight, you get to go one-on-one…with the Undertaker!” - Teddy Long

The Undertaker. The Phenom. The Deadman. How about that for Spooktober? Mattel just released that beautiful WWE Elite figure from series 79 of the Undertaker, to commemorate the 30th anniversary of his career. The Undertaker started at Survivor Series in 1990, so this November, it will officially be 30 year of the Undertaker. The real question is: Will he come back from one more match…again…again? :)

Here are some packaging shots:

His Wrestlemania opponent from the cinematic Boneyard match, AJ Styles, is here to welcome him.

This is a really nice update of the Undertaker. I am not a huge fan of the very rigid jacket that they put on those figures, but it does look damn cool on a shelf.

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.

JAKKS PACIFIC TO MAKE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, THANKS TO TOILET PAPER HOARDERS !!

In 2018, the brand came up with the "Toilet Paper Blasters", a genius line of toy weapons that would use real, actual toilet paper to shoot spitballs on your enemies.



BREAKING NEWS:

JAKKS PACIFIC TO MAKE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, THANKS TO TOILET PAPER HOARDERS !!


Jakks Pacific, the brand more commonly known for the awesome WWF/E figures between 1996 and 2009, and who came up with innovative playsets like the Titantron Entrance with sounds and lights, seems to have caught lightning in a bottle once again!

In 2018, the brand came up with the "Toilet Paper Blasters", a genius line of toy weapons that would use real, actual toilet paper to shoot spitballs on your enemies. 2 models came out, the "SKID SHOT", to "wipe out the competition" and the "SHEET STORM", with rapid fire spitballs. The Toilet Paper Blasters were well received, but quickly forgotten.

Enter the Covid-19, 2 years later (2020), and people started to panick and buy huge amounts of toilet paper, which became for a few weeks a rare commodity, as all supermarkets across the world were completely sold out, and all the toilet paper sections were empty. People were selling toilet paper and hand sanitizers at a higher price, it was insane! After a few weeks, when people started to realize that you cannot eat toilet paper to survive, they were left with several lifetimes supplies of toilet paper rolls, and most stores were not taking them back. Hundreds of toilet paper rolls, and nothing to do with them, unless... 

"THE TOILET PAPER BLASTERS TO MAKE A HUGE COMEBACK!"

Jakks Pacific saw it as an opportunity, and in a genius marketing stunt, the Toilet Paper Blasters should be back in stores real soon, and are sure to sell like hotcakes! ToyFarce News has already seen some on display at the local toy stores!

WHICH COLLECTOR FACTION DO YOU BELONG IN?

ToyFarce News loves all kinds of toy collectors, but toy collectors themselves definitely do NOT love all kinds of toy collectors.



FEATURED ARTICLE:

WHICH COLLECTOR FACTION DO YOU BELONG IN?

ToyFarce News loves all kinds of toy collectors, but toy collectors themselves definitely do NOT love all kinds of toy collectors. There has been several occurences of arguments or fights, whether in the Facebook, Youtube, Instagram or Twitter comment threads. Some collectors will tell others how they should display or handle their collection, even if they are not the ones who paid for it and are not part of those other person's lives.
In the last decade, collectors have been able to witness the formation of different factions, and chose which side they are on. ToyFarce news will now review the 4 major factions from the toy collectors world:


THE CARD FOUNDATION:

The Card Foundation (or Mint on Card Foundation) is for the collectors that keep all their figure mint on card, generally displayed on a wall, which is covered from floor to ceiling. The Card Foundation consider themselves the best collectors there is, the best collectors there was, and the best collectors there ever will be. Keeping an entire wall of blister cards, without ever thinking of opening them, requires a lot of discipline and mental strength, and that is what is needed to join the Card Foundation. 



D-GENERATION SHELF: 

The D-Generation Shelf (or D-SHELF) is a faction for the collectors that display everything that they own on shelves, whether those are wall shelves, floating shelves, book shelves (like on a BILLY bookshelf from Ikea),... They generally favor displaying their figures loose, but can also have a few blister cards or larger boxes displayed behind the loose figures. They are not worried about having to dust their collection every now and then. Sometimes, a figure would fall and cause a domino effect, leading to some of the figures to take a dive from the shelf towards the floor, but that's just one of the things that happens if you're D-SHELF. And if you're not down with that, they've got 2 words for ya... DUST IT!

  


THE NEW BOX ORDER:

The New Box Orded (or nBo) is a special kind of collectors. You might have seen collectors ask sellers 'Does it come with the shipping box?', especially in one sixth scale figure collectors groups. Those collectors will buy an expensive, high-end figure and will never a single time put their eyes on them. The visuals of the box is enough for them. Even better: the quality of the cardboard from the shipping boxes. They will go out of their way to find sellers that will 'double box' their figures, to make sure that the shipping box is in pristine condition. nBo members have pictures from their collection stored in a temperature controlled storage units, and will tell you that when you're nBo, you're nBo for life, BROTHER!



THE DETOLF CLUB:

The Detolf Club is a club of collectors who love to display their collection in glass cabinets (usually Detolf from Ikea, but it could be any other brand). They are not scared of opening their figures and display them in dynamic positions in their cabinets (which another faction, the Museum Posers absolutely hates). True Detolf Club member will also have lights in their cabinets, and some will also have backgrounds or dioramas, to compliment their collections even more. For a Detolf Club member, it is a pleasure to just sit in front of their glass cabinets after a long day, and just admire their collection, taking it all in. There is something about it that is just too sweet...



Of course, there are tons of other factions, like the Briq (lego collectors), the Nation of Customization (who love to repaint/resculpt/kitbash/...), the L.O.O.S.E. squad (who will always open their figures and #LetEmBreathe), the SCALP (a faction of villains who will empty the toy aisle from their stores to sell everything at a higher price), the Youtuberockers (who buy every single toy that come out for review, but you can clearly see that the passion is long gone), and many, many more...

ToyFarce News would like to know about you: Which faction do you belong in?
