I was looking at my vast different brands of figures and couldn't help but miss that tna was gone. I know that they blew it with crappy repaints and rediculious long wait to release times, however I kinda wish that another toy company would maybe grab tna, it would be cool to wolves, and Elite Drake, and Mike Bennet, along with decay, anyone also feel like since indy guys and wwe have figures that tna should get another chance ?

Voldemort would be a nice choice.
But for me, i wished Jakks would start taking it seriously.

I honestly think they could still do it. Even ECW had a semi successful toy line. It sucks we don't have EC3, Drew Galloway, and Eli Drake. Plus some of the stars who have come and gone in that time. I would have loved a Taryn Tarell action figure

Most Stores didn't carry TNA figures so that was a good indicator that nobody wanted them

I really liked the later Marvel TNA figures. The Jakks had some cool scans but I could not get with the bodies after seeing the Mattel WWE figures.

Imo, one of their downfalls was showing so many awesome protos that never got a release! Tara, Shannon Moore, Jesse Neal, Anderson as Sting, that camo Kurt Angle, even Tessmacher said she had another figure coming that never or released or shown. They were so slow to release and always months/years behind on some of the looks of the superstars.
They should have focused on making new faces rather than a darn Jeff or Matt every month. They Aces & 8s storyline spiked their popularity. They easily could have capatalized with figures to boost sales. It's just a shame we probably won't see EC3 or The Miracle. No Jade or Marti Bell. No Brother Nero or Broken Matt lol. Seriously if they learned to market figures right, they'd be able to produce some cool figures with the unique roster they have right now.

Jakks ended up a frustration more than anything. We saw numerous figures which never saw release while we got quite a few dull repaints. The roster wasn't particularly deep. I guess the market really didn't want these figures. Lack of support from Walmart had to be a major blow. I only initially saw these in Kmart, Target, and TRU, and by the end even Kmart gave up on them. That was crazy that only TRU supported them at the tail end.

They could go the route of roh and do online sales only.
No way they can get a mass released figure line again.

I think if TNA was going to get a new toy line, they should find a brand new company and start again
Maybe even go back to Marvel style figures
And go online only
TNA figures will never compete against WWE instores

Has there ever been a time when more companies have been making wrestling figures at the same time?

It is most unfortunate that Matt Hardy is doing the best work of his career right now and has no action figure to show for it. This is one time I wouldn't mind another Matt Hardy figure.
If done properly, a new line of TNA figures could succeed, but as I've said before, you'd need to create figures of new stars first and slowly put in some of the guys we've seen in figure form a thousand times before. I remember when Jakks finally gave us a Gail Kim figure but at that point the figures weren't even showing up in TRU anymore. Hopefully- HOPEFULLY- the company making the ROH figures can give us some of the TNA roster since they can use Pro Wrestling Tees instead of just having official TNA t-shirts licensed to them. Guys like American Wolves could be in their independent line or even as ROH alumni, but yeah, someone like EC3 should be in their line and since TNA isn't making figures right now they shouldn't prevent it from happening otherwise. Not that I think WWE would let Mattel make a Derrick Bateman Flashback, but still...

You guys realize that if Voldemort gets the license then we'll be paying $25+ for TNA figures and $100+ for a ring without a cage or Ultimate X accessory. I don't see that going over too well.
