Slaughter is fine, but I dislike the idea of adding more characters based on celebrities. The last thing I'd want to see is a Tom Brady or LeBron James Classified figure.

Jazwares AEW figures were a step back in evolution from Mattel's Elites. They're back to the Jakks days of "proportions don't matter" and horrible sculpts... but with Jeremy at the helm, that's no surprise.

It would bring another celebrity in the line, but you wouldn't have to see it.

Yeahhhhh celebrities can be pretty polarizing and could be a hornets nest best not kicked.
There is always a chance they (as living ppl) could say or do something that is potentially damaging to the property just by being a character. |

I dunno. I would honestly prefer they stay away from wrestlers. I would actually be pretty disappointed if they wasted a figure slot on a John Cena or CM Punk figure. It'd probably be the first figure I'd skip. I couldn't care less about wrestling. Judging from a lot of people's avatar pictures here, I'm probably in the minority of Joe / Wrestling fandom crossover. As a kid, I had no idea Slaughter was a wrestler first. I just thought he was a GI Joe character. I personally hope they don't do any celebrity figures. With all the characters to choose from, it's really unnecessary.

Any celebrity figure they make would be a skip for me too. But I have lots of skips already and it grows every time they do new reveals. I bet I only order preorder Cover Girl in this next wave of five figures.

I think the whole "celebrity" thing has come and gone with Slaughter and the Fridge. I personally don't want to see anymore as well with the variety of characters that are already out there just waiting to be used. *cough cough*Metal-Head*cough cough*. I will be getting Slaughter because he's one of my favorite characters but I wouldn't mind of they got the rights to bring back the Fridge as well though I doubt they will, but then again you never know.
