Hey, those Ruthless Aggression figures you pre-ordered from Walmart? Yeah, they’re already hitting brick-and-mortar stores. Will they ever ship from Walmart? Who knows! Mine still says August 20, so still two months out. If you see ’em in stores, buy ’em and cancel those pre-orders.
Ringside Q&A with Jazwares’ AEW Team
Are you a fan of chest hair on your action figures? You might just get it. Jazwares’ AEW team of Gregory Mitchell and Magic Olmos took part in a Q&A with Ringside Collectibles over the event weekend. Although Mitchell and Olmos dodge a lot of questions, they did say chest hair could be added to the figures in the future. Mitchell also liked the idea of a giant poker chip like the one Jon Moxley stood upon during his debut.
ROH figures also seem to be on the table now and there is “a vision there,” Mitchell said.
