Didn´t know where else to put this but do you think Toybiz will try and do another wrestling line? They did with WCW and TNA...Maybe AAA? I think they like it enough to go after another organization. Whaddya guys think?

I don't think they'll try it again. Unless years from now when Mattel's license expires they try and get the WWE license.

I think once TNA/Jakks is launched along with mattel/WWe already being out there i dont think theres much room in the market for a 3rd toy company at the moment.

i hope so,iam one of the few toybiz collecters on this forum. its very unlikely,but i still think they produced the best wrestling figures to date. what iam hoping for is a figure line very similar to the tna line,just like how hasbro continued the marvel legends.

I thought they went out of business? I thought they just changed names to their parent company - Marvel entertainment. |

I thought they just changed names to their parent company - Marvel entertainment. they changed there name to marvel toys half way through the series,then they went out of business and kinda just got swallowed up in the whole marvel franchise. thats my understanding,i will never forgive them for not releasing these photos2.figures.com/gallery2/showphoto.php?photo=1368and the 2nd kurt angle. |

I see they were planning on still using Hogan's old torso for Abyss, and to be honest Sting's torso just looks off. It doesn't look healthy. Not to mention the Angle looks like a painted DA. |

Err Toybiz/Marvel had figs like this before Jakks even thought of DA! Anyway, I believe Marvel is swallowed by Disney. So, not so sure about the toy department... |

Toybiz is no longer and the Triple A figures that are coming out are being made by Playmates.

im pretty sure that Toybiz went out of Business considering i am the Former Toybiz Maniac I thought they were the ones making the Marvel Select figures? So who makes those, because I don't think the Marvel Select are Hasbro figures? |

I do not see a third major figure line being created, so no

I do not see a third major figure line being created, so no Playmates are currently working on AAA figures, though I don't know anything about them yet. Maybe there will be word at Toyfair nest week. And toybiz is out of business. I think the sculptors and Jesse Falcon still work as freelancers for other companies, though I'm not 100% on that. Also, Diamond Select put out the Marvel Select figures. |

I wouldn't mind seeing a 3rd wrestling figure company emerge. We had ECW, WCW, and WWF figures in stores all at once..... Its possible.
Im still trying to get ride of my TNA figures.
