New Arrivals

AEW BLOOD & GUTS: EXPLODING BARBED WIRE DEATH MATCH SET

The latest edition of Jazwares’ AEW Blood & Guts series has arrived! This set recreates the infamous Exploding Barbed Wire Death Match between Jon Moxley and Kenny Omega from last year’s AEW Revolution show. This box set includes figures of Moxley and Omega in gear similar to what they wore during the match (both figures have blood painted on), cloth shirts, two tables, barbed wire, an AEW World Title belt, extra hands, a barbed wire baseball bat, a barbed wire chair, and a Revolution backdrop. There are instructions on the bottom of the box to direct you how to put the barbed wire on the tables.

Jazwares really knocked it out of the park with this set. Yes, it’s pricey ($58.99 exclusively at Ringside Collectibles) but the figures are very detailed and there are a ton of accessories. It will make a great addition to any AEW figure collection and/or fans of Moxley and Omega. Consider this set Darrin-Approved. The set is currently in stock at ringsidecollectibles.com.

In the News

-The Funko Pop nWo 3-pack is showing up on Wal-Mart shelves. The set goes for around $30.

-Here’s a weird one. WWE Shop is offering a Mr. McMahon Shirt & Collectible Bill set. The shirt is a standard WWE t-shirt, featuring a picture of Vince at a poker table and the words “No chance in Vegas” on the back. The collectible bill is a replica of a dollar bill that has Vince’s face on it and says one billion dollars. The cost? $99.99. So if you figure that a WWE t-shirt costs around $25, they are essentially asking you to pay $75 for a replica dollar bill. I checked the description to see if there was something special about the bill or perhaps it was signed, but there was no such indication. I’ll take a pass on this one.

-Pro Wrestling Tees is offering new shirts this week of Virgil, Road Dogg, Billy Gunn, and individual shirts for the Major Players.

-A limited edition “Holy Shida” heather denim shirt is available until 5/3 at shopaew.com.

Coming Up

-K&S WrestleFest is advertising a private signing with AEW star MJF for May 1st. Photos, figures, and trading cards are available to be signed. Find out more on their Facebook page.

-Highspots announced a private signing on May 14th for NJPW stars Kazuchika Okada, Hiroshi Tanahashi, Will Ospreay, and Tomohiro Ishii. Items for sale include the Super 7 figures of all four. Get all the information at highspotsauctions.com.
