It's disgraceful, they never gave this line any sort of push whatsoever and I don't think it will last until next year at this rate, and especially now where almost every figure in the line is grossly outdated.

That sucks. I've only just recently started collecting TNA jakks figures and it seems they're doing a pretty awful job. I hate that when someone from jakks answers questions i get excited about the future of the line, but then straight away we get bad news like this. I really want the Angle and Kaz fom DI6. They better not screw around with American Sting exclusive.

Obviously if Jakks could control it they would. They are in the business of making money, and you know that.. So why do you people on here always assume its just something to piss off the collector? Don't be so irrational over toys, there are plenty of other things to take more seriously...

WTF JAKKS! How can it be THIS hard for a company to produce and distribute? Every single TNA figure pretty much uses the same parts too, so it should be even easier! I don't understand......the company should NOT be having this much trouble. We WANT the figures! We are practically throwing our money at them BEGGING them to take it....and they can't produce anything. What a shame. I really like TNA figures and really wish there were actually some available to buy! ^

All I have to say is THANK GOD FOR MATTEL. I gave up on TNA figures ages ago (I had all their figures up to CTL 3 and DI 4) and happily sold them all. The only other TNA figure I'd ever buy is Angelina Love. And I can wait for that one.

I give Jakks benefeit of the doubt on a lot of stuff. I have cut them slack on a lot of things that most haven't. This,however, is more than inexcusable. Not just pushing it back but also cancelling Williams. That just infuriates me. I don't jump on board with all of the naysayers,I choose to wait and see.Well Jakks.....I've waited and seen all there is to see. This time all the non-believers were right. This line will be lucky to even see series 6 get produced. And I agree, I too gave Jakks a benefit of the doubt for the longest time. But enough is enough.

The funny thing is, is that it's not even a figure that HASN'T been released. It's just that apparently Jakks made like ing 5 of them. And the one time I was able to order them from ToysRUS, they charged me, canceled my order, and never let me know until I checked my bank account. So all I got was a $20 credit, which was nice, but still not my ing Alex Shelley figure.

Don't be so irrational over toys, there are plenty of other things to take more seriously... I haven't been on these forums long, but you are correct. It is a toy. No reason to flip out. Also Jakks doesn't just answer to Jakks. They work with TNA and other companies. Not to mention Jakks now has to make the switch to Impact Wrestling with an all new slogan and color scheme. Grown men are getting worked up over a toy not being released on time.

Jakks may not see TNA as a profit, but they have a damn obligation to the company. And TNA needs to get in their ass about getting product out there. It's like freaking Toybiz TNA all over again.

Its not so much the fact that its been pushed back AGAIN (which is very annoying) but its the fact that they have canceled Mr. Anderson from DI 5 that I had pre-ordered, they canceled Doug Williams form DI 6 that I had preordered and they have cut the UFC line down to 5 as well by taking out guys like Gonzaga, its not fair for them to show 6 and then cancel 1 especially ones that people are excited for, yet we get ANOTHER Jeff Hardy for the billionth time.
The UFC series is all but dead in the water as well, look at the line ups for the next 3 sets to come out, 2 packs 3 are all repaints no new fighters. Series 8 3/5 repaints and the 2 that aren't, didn't even come out that great if you ask me. UFC series 9, 4/5 are repaints and mixed with a new Brock scan and finally a Vitor Belfort.
Not to mention the new packaging for both UFC and TNA are pretty ugly in my opinion, it feels like there is SO much plastic and space in the bubble that SOMETHING else should be in there, am I the only one who feels that way?
Oh and by the time Madison Rayne comes out her hair will have been brunette for about a year at that point, but i am more than positive Jakks will continue to keep it blonde and in an outfit that is severely outdated

this is why I jumped ship to mattel. Got sick of all these delays, every series has been pushed back at one point or another. I don't get it, why are they having to push back every series? It's not like any of the figs are diff, it really is the same body with a diff head (for the most part). I could care less anymore.
Not to mention when you finally do get a jakks figs they have loose joints and messy paint applications. Do us a favor and drop the tna line so they could sign with a toy maker that can give us better quality figs.

I dont see it as a big deal and i blame it on Impact Wrestling formerly known as TNA. Jakks makes great figs doug williams was canceled like a month ago, somebody made a post about it because Entertainment Earth had it on their site. Oh well we will get him later, I'm just glad I'll be getting a new Samoa Joe figure next weekish!

I've already had my last straw a long time ago, When I Pre ordered the TNA legend series 2 online along with a couple of other figures that I wasn't too bothered about getting if it weren't a one off payment for the postage if you know what I mean, Legends line 2 kept getting postponed month after month until it was finally cancelled so ended up paying higher postage for figures I would not have normally ordered if it werent for the one off postage payment, Its not the fact they cancelled it that bothered me so much it was the complete lack of any announcements as to what was happening with them at the time, Considering I had been so loyal to Jakks before through the years and spent a small fortune on their products it kind of put me off of collecting any figures quite a lot.
