1) Please don't bump old threads.
2) Andre, along with the rest of LOTR series 2, were cancelled.
I really wish they hadn't been cancelled.

I love all those figs and would buy them if they were released. I truly prefer ra over da anyway

I haven't bought a Jakks figure since Mattel took over the WWE figure line, but i would buy all 6 of these in a heart beat

Sad to say but I think Earl will probably be the last LOTR figure. I hope I am dead wrong, but I don't like the sign of DI 11 containing only 4 figures. A LOTR figure especially Andre or Cornette for a 5th figure would have been awesome.

I haven't bought any Jakks since 2010 purely because Deluxe Aggresion, looking back on it, suck. I always prefered RA so I'd definitely love an RA line. Still can't get ahold of that Sting/Suicide RI figure though!

If they could work a deal with Ringside and run a limited number of each as exclusive through RSC as Exclusives it would be SO good! It would be such a shame if these never saw the light of day, especially since it looks like Jakks are only slowing down on wrestling releases

It would be such a shame if these never saw the light of day, especially since it looks like Jakks are only slowing down on wrestling releases I really wish that deal would work out. It would be a shame and I for one would be pissed and sadden that Andre, Joe, AJ, and especially Cornette and Scott Steiner never saw the light of day. I hope Trevor, Tom, or someone from RSC would read this because I think one last LOTR set as a RSC exclusive should be done. If nothing else for the collectors that stood by so long with the CS line and had their hopes crushed by the LOTR line. The set could contain: - Andre the Giant - Jim Cornette - AJ Styles w/ hoodie & D-X Belt - Samoa Joe w/ towel - Scott Steiner - TBD - Collector's choice poll Others to be considered: - Surfer Sting - Bubba Ray (Debut attire) - D'Von (Debut Attire)

Well put. The continued Legends line was a big deal for me. I was never a TNA fan but even having a series with half of the figs being non TNA legends was enough to hold my interest.
I am also disappointed in not having young Andre, and Jim Cornet. But come on man don't forget about Scott Steiner. It is a crime that we still do not have the Steiner brothers completed.

If JAKKS or RSC could release a LOTR Scott Steiner and not another Legends figure again, I would feel complete. Obviously there are lots of names I wish to add, but the Steiners are my favorite tag team of all time and I need a classic Scott Steiner. I still feel that if RSC or ShopTNA ever did a mini-LOTR line (releasing say 3 RI-style LOTR figures every 3-4 months) I think the line would do nicely. Retail-level it would never go, but as an online exclusive it would do well enough to merit more sets.

I would definitely love to see this happen. We saw the Jim Cornetete, Scott Steiner, AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Jeff Jarrett a few years ago and I for one got excited. I was excited for all of those and any potential Legend figure. Johnny B Badd would of been cool as I was a big fan and WWE didn't make him. D'Lo Would have been cool while he was working their. The possiblilities are endless and I hate that it seems it will not happen.
As for RI's their are many figures that could be made and I bet sales would be better because of collectors alone. We want a RI AJ Styles, Samoa Joe and many others next to our RA WWE Figures.

I wish that the Styles made it into a line I still hope for a RI-style LOTR AJ. Maybe even with classic D-X Belt and NWA title along with his classic hoodie?!

I would have loved to have a America's most wanted two pack, who would not want a braden walker figure.

I maintain to this day I will buy ANY new superstar that is released in RA/RI format but I mostly want Jim Cornette to go along with my Midnight Express

Ditto on that. I'll pick up pretty much any new face they make an RA version of... but there's really NO valid excuse for not giving us Classic Scott Steiner, Jim Cornette, Joe, AJ, and Jarrett. The figures were done and protos were built.
On the other hand.. at least we got an RA Raven before it was all said and done! It was crazy that he'd had the most action figures for different companies, but wasn't represented in RA style anywhere in the line!

It seemed so long for Raven to be released that I truly did think he'd just another legend to live in prototype hell!

please make one more run Jakks.
If I'm not mistaken they should still be able to make legends not under wwe/wwe legends contracts. as Mattel cant make those guys. like El Gigante for instance. either way. I'd love for this LOTR #2 set to come out at least. If they cant do Andre, then put that Scott Steiner in the set. RA is by FAR my fav wresters to collect ever.

Legends Of The Ring is pretty much TNA's equivalent to WWE Classic Superstars right? I didn't honestly buy anyone from the line, however if Cornette ever did see the light of day, I'd buy him probably.
