No Classics/Legends line yet? No care. Well its coming soon as mentioned. However there is the Wrestlemania Heritage line for the mean time. Yeah I saw that which is why I put "yet" at the end of it. Given that the current product (modern WWE programming) is garbage I have no interest in the wrestlers that are around today. In regards to the "Heritage line in the mean time" comment all I have to say is, "Really?" I could give a flip about Edge, Batista, and MOST OF ALL John Cena. I will concede that the entrance Entrance Greats line looks solid and I'll probably pick up the Shawn Michaels from it. That being said I'm really anxious/looking forward to what they have in store for their Legends line! |

Don't see myself wasting that kind of money on these figs. Maybe if there are some newer wrestlers that do not have a fig yet and if they are close enough in scale. Otherwise, forget it. WHy spend money on figs of wrestlers I already have? Really hope that Jakks makes TNA in RA and continues a CS line !!!!!!!

Why is everyone complaining about the cost? Aren't the "basic" figures $9.99 suggested retail?

some of these figures look really good, the pictures are heavily edited though, or maybe the figures are really painted to give contrast to their muscles. I could say I really wouldnt mind switching over to these. If they only have a few sets and they are easier to find then paying 10 or 15 for a figure wont be a big deal if were all only getting a few a month. RA figures are up to $10 so the base figures price is competitive. I think the switch will be a good thing. BUT I also hope JAKKS continues to use RA for TNA. That would be ideal.

I am not impressed with these. As some others have said they look like the old R-3's (which were horrendous).
The only one I actually like is Beth Phoenix. They did a great job on her. I might collect the divas if the others look that good.
Otherwise I think I'm done with collecting unless of course Jakks makes TNA in RA form.

Basics, Elite, Entrance Gear, WrestleMania Heritage & 2-Packs look awesome!
Flex Force Suck as I knew any Action feature line would as they always do & always fail!
However, I'm a little annoyed that the Basic, Entrance Gear, WrerstleMania Heritage & 2-Packs are all 13 point of articulation figures & the Elite line are 23 point of articulation.
They all should have had the 23 point of articulation from the start so that all the figs had the same amount of movement & if you're going to be charging $14.99 for a line of figures, it doesn't help to have a line with less articulation going for $5.00 cheaper because Mattell should know we as wrestling figure collectors & people who play with / display their collection's loose need more articulation, yet some of the figures from the other lines look so awesome that they know we will buy them regardless which is a bit of a screw over in my opinion.
All the lines, Basic, 2-Packs, Entrance, etc, etc should have just had the 23 points of articulation from the start.
That's the only thign really annoying / bothering me right now, but, we know Mattell won't do a thing about it as it's double money doing 2 lines like Jakks did.
Other than that, detail is amazing.

I think they did an amazing job with the detail. The prices & the rings are a negative though.

I think all the prices the details and the line-ups are amazing, the prices seem fair. This is a whole new line and parts so they may seem high as of now but they are still the same as Jakks

Expected more. Some of the figures, especially Batista look too much like a comic book. Glad to see some real attires though. Let's wait till we see the protos though.
One thing I do not like from the jump is a middle joint like in DAs looks ridiculous and is absolutely unnecessary for the collectors.

"As a bonus, some figures will come with a 1 of 1000 commemorative belt made specifically for their debut." Very cool. I am definitely won over with the elite Punk and MVP. And the Punk wrist wraps are the craziest things I have ever seen. Kim  |
