Jazwares and All Elite Wrestling have revealed a new line of wrestling action figures. Lead by Chis Jericho, the new league features a mix of new and old talent and is currently airing on TNT in the USA. Now they are getting figures to match with the Unrivaled line. They look to be 6 inch scale and have a full range of articulation, plus 3d scan face tech. There is also a ring scheduled for later in the year. These guys seem to fit in with Mattel WWE figures as of now, though until side by sides pop up we can’t 100% tell. Read on to check out the first pics and the official press release!
JAZWARES & ALL ELITE WRESTLING ARE UNRIVALED!
AEW’S First-Ever Toy Line Captures and Amplifies the Exhilaration and Passion of Wrestling’s Hottest New Franchise
— “Unrivaled” Action Figures Featuring Top AEW Talent and Authentic Play & Display Toys and Collectibles Debut at Retail This Year —
February 19, 2020 — Jazwares, a global leader in play, and All Elite Wrestling (AEW), the new professional wrestling league that is taking America by storm, are tag-teaming on AEW’s first line of action figures and role play collectibles. Featuring AEW World Champion Chris Jericho, Cody, The Young Bucks, Kenny Omega, Jon Moxley and more, the new AEW UNRIVALED line will be on display at Jazwares’ booth at Toy Fair New York on Feb. 22-26, and will hit retail later this year.
AEW UNRIVALED collectible action figures will boast 25 points of articulation, real 3d scanned likenesses and a variety of accessories and authentic ring wear. With multiple Waves per season, fans can collect the stars of TNT’s new, popular weekly show AEW DYNAMITE, including MJF, Darby Allin, Dr. Britt Baker, Brandi Rhodes, Hangman Page, Jurassic Express and many more.
Each Wave will include limited edition and rare variants to add chase and elation to every release. Other authentic items for Fall 2020 will include the AEW UNRIVALED: Action Ring to play-and-display UNRIVALED figures and the AEW World Championship Title Belt, with even more formats and innovations in development for future seasons.
“AEW has very quickly become one of the most provocative, engaging and relevant wrestling brands of all time. It is a league embraced by generations of fans and collectors in a genre with a huge appetite for authentic product,” said Jeremy Padawer, EVP / Partner Jazwares. “We plan to build out the kind of program that can appeal both to the display collector and also to younger fans who want a tangible way to play and interact with their heroes,” said Michael Rinzler, EVP / Partner Jazwares.
“When AEW launched just over a year ago, we couldn’t have imagined there would be a toy line this soon, featuring our wrestlers, making its debut at Toy Fair in New York City,” said Dana Massie, Chief Marketing and Merchandising Officer. “But, we’ve always known from the start that we have the greatest fans in the world, and we’re constantly looking for new ways to positively engage and connect with them in ways that matter. Our partnership with Jazwares ramps up our commitment to fan engagement, and we hope our fans will love the AEW action figures and collectibles representing the personalities who have become part of their lives each Wednesday on TNT, at our pay-per-view events and beyond.”

It really bugs me that neither Jazwares or Mattel can invest the money to make some damn slip-on wristbands instead of painting them on all the time!
Not a fan of that torso joint but these came out a lot better than I thought they were going to.
These have double jointed elbows right out of the box, while Mattel's Elites do not (unless you pay extra for them with the deluxe figures.)
May the wrestling figure wars begin.
I haven't been really impressed AEW as a brand so far so I won't be going "All In" on these...but I've wanted a Kenny Omega figure for a while so I'll be definitely grabbing that when these drop.
Oh gee...multi articulated and real scan wrestling figures. Now just where have I seen that before? Oh yeah, WWE. AEW is not reinventing the wheel here. They are again, just copying old roads WWE paved.
Today 11:40 AM
One things for certain...these look way better than that 50 dollar nonsense that Super 7 is putting out, and they'll likely be more than half the price. The line is in good hands with Jakks, as they've literally done all that can be done in regards to combat sports, staged or otherwise.
Outside of scale, the one thing I'm curious in will be Jakks approach to certain wrestlers on AEW's roster, as many have characters or gimmicks that are often deemed offensive on inappropriate by lesser minded individuals. I'm curious as to whether Jakks goes full speed ahead and gives us these grapplers, or if they play it safe and conservatively so as to not offend that small but very vocal segment of the wrestling community (and consumer base for that matter.)
If they were smart, in order to boost sales they should ensure they are exactly in line with the WWE figures
Getting the Kenny Omega to put with Storm Collectibles Street Fighter figures.
I'd like it if the shoulder pegs were not visible. I've always personally disliked that. Maybe the finished packaged figures will look different.
May the wrestling figure wars begin.

If anyone is interested, I was watching AEW tonight and they announced that the figures will be released on August 3rd at Walmart. Not sure if that means they're a Walmart exclusive or not, but there you go.
Totally picking up Kenny Omega.
I’m down for a Kenny and Cody.
