Thank you Jakks. You actually put effort into these, and I cannot wait until Velvet Sky comes out.
...err, wrong choice of words.
Anyways, these are awesome. But, you know that these will be changed a lot by the time they hit shelves. Also, just one nitpick for me: isn't that Sting basically Undertaker's last DA figure with a Sting head on and scorpions painted on his outfit? Explains the MMA gloves...

^DA Taker never had molded-on jacket as far as I remember.
Velvet Sky is awesome. Sucks they didn't do the double knee joint, though.

Hey as long as they are still being worked on since the images are from prototypes, it's never too late to change something. If they don't, don't sweat it; that figure is still hot.  |

Velvet is the only one ill pick up. If jakks ever gets away from the balloon arms and short snow boot kickers i might be back on board.

Will definitely be picking up the Velvet one. I'm hoping she doesn't change too much between now and by the time it hits the shelves.

The headscans are brilliant in this set, and the Velvet Sky is one of the best figures they have made in years. My problem continues to be the choice to use exaggeratedly muscular bodies in the DI line. It's why I continue to say that even with the better playability and articulation, that Ruthless Aggression was a better body type. I love the detail in the Shark Boy and adore the Black Machismo facial expression, but their bodies look so damn ripped and big.

The only one I will be buying is Kevin Nash as an extra one. As everyone knows I only collect RA......I have the Kevin Nash figure that came in a 2 pack with Scott Steiner, I used a Kevin Nash outfit from ralph that I had on my old deluxe kevin nash figure and put it on the new one and it fit perfectly. The figure is a perfect Kevin Nash. The ralphs outfit covers up the belly crack deluxe B.S. and he fits in perfectly with my RA collection (perfect scale too, he towers over many of my average size figs). Great fixup to do. I hope the single figure Nash has whiter hair like in the proto pic.

I love the detail in the Shark Boy and adore the Black Machismo facial expression, but their bodies look so damn ripped and big. That is exactly how I feel. I wish JAKKS would have made their main line in RA form. Maybe we will end up getting some of these in RA style....I hope so. |

Sting is horrid. Mattel actually gives us REMOVABLE gear. These figures aren't in scale and reuse the same bodies for everybody, even guys they don't fit. Horrible figures. ...we're also not going to have to be $16 for ONE action figure either. Seeing they aren't out at mass retail yet that is yet to be seen. I don't care what Jakks said the price will be...Let's see what TRU/Target charges first. |

Velvet looks amazing...if the other Knockouts (probably just the other members of the TBP) can be made like this, that would be brilliant.

Oh mann! Jakks, you screwed up BIG TIME!!! TNA DI Series 1 isn't even in stores yet; and now I hear from TNAwrestling.com's Jakks page that they are going to be available for TRU, Kmart, Target, and shoptnawrestling.com. What? No Wal-Mart, my only source available here in Laurinburg!?! I hope this is an oversight; or there will be no future for TNA figures for me.  |
