i ownt post this in either jakks or mattel board, BUT! peole argue over jakks and mattel, honestly in my opinion, best wrestling figures EVER! made are the toybiz tna, think about it, all scaled, all accessorised, all detailed near-perfect, yet Jakks, long running, bca/ttl/ra/da etc, all good figs, but not scalled, and not near as detailed, even in the best days of the attitude era, and mattel, now theyre rather good, majoritively scalled, they're 2 main lines (ie ra/da = basic/elite) mattel has them scalled aswell just articulated better, unlike jakks, da was bigger yet TNA toybiz had all these things, however much they didnt last to give hernandez, or better angle/abyss or our forst tna toybiz female in whatever her name was, brookes?, anyway if series 9 had been released, they were getting better, and so what they didnt release theyre 6sided rsr in time, proto was rather epic if you ask me, and the ring we got were cool, i mean ultimate X and ssos (&x-division) great for display right? so just my opinion, toybiz tna > jakks wwe/tna and mattel wwe just in the sake of scale/detail of a collectable action playable figurine,  (however if your faves are hasbro, or ttl, or mattel, these kicked ass! ) |

There was a proto for a toybiz TNA RSR? If you have a pic can I see I didn't know.

Well they were better than most jakks figs from a technical standpoint. But that series could never compare to the jakks classic superstars line. They had lots of quality issues from the plastic down to the paint so to me they aren't on par with mattel elites and definitely not the mattel legends line.

Yes They Are The Best As Far As Articulation is Concered.......Stiff Joints Take A While To Get Working But it's Worth The Wait!!! My Rhino's Arms Are Still Stuck... And You Can't Forget About That Sweet NWA Championship Belt Playset With Micro AJ Styles And Jeff Jarrett And Thise Sexy TNA Bashin Brawlers... And of Course The Holy Grails of Wrestling Figures Period.....   Jakks TNA Are Great Toys To Play With But Toybiz TNA Are Collectibles Made For Real Men!!! ...Mattel is Just Jank... |

WCW Toybiz make a great argument for your point period. All different scale and body styles for all the different wrestlers. I loved the TNA line as well.

thanksyou for agreeing guys, im not the only one :')
and i have both them 12"ers, found em in tresco when i was with me mom and nan, they thought i was crazy buying both, but im glad i did, i couldnt decide and after that i never saw them anywhere else haha
£15 each and worth it to me, theyre loose but the space they'd take up MOC is unbelievable, still have the box's though
and wcw toybiz was awesome too, really but now, theyre kinda weird to me, how all the mechanised figures blew it for me, moulds were great just the thought they HAVE these "arm swinging action" features pissed me off, samne with early TNA, but theyre still KICK-ASS!!

The last single/double pack series' were REALLLLLY great, but the first series with the action features sucked... anyway maybe they were too good to last longer... but why? Only because Jakks outbid Marvel Toys? They knew how hot it is to own a Wrestling Figures license... maybe the costs for new body styles for every wrestler were too high... I don't know - only a guess?!?

Wow I Didn't Know They Made A Homicide Figure......Does Anyone Know if He As Any Chest Articulation???
Yeah I Will Not Buy A Figure That Does Not Have Some Type of Articulation On Every Single Part of The Body......
I'm Weird Like That...
I Hope Homicide Does He Looks Great!!!
His Shirt is Black So I Can't Really Tell if He Has Any Chest Joints???

Quality control problems aside, I loved the attention to detail and how true many of the figures were to the star's body shape. Jarrett was short and had a stocky build. Nash had the long limbs and jacked-up upper body. Rhino had short little arms and huge thighs. Sonjay was skinny as hell and Kip James... man, did his figure looked like him from head to toe.
Overall, I wish they all were like the Eric Young figure. The body looked realistic enough without being cartoony or too exaggerated, and its parts moved & played well. It had lots of POA but no stupid action features, ridiculously stiff joints, ugly wings/shoulder blade artic. or legs that oddly spread out to the side like Sabin & Homicide. I thought it was pretty darn close to being the perfect figure. Shame it had to come so late in the line.
And Series 9... man, what a line-up that would've been. We would have gotten a Knockout, a proper Angle, a sweet Sting and the other 1/2s of the Dudleyz & LAX.

I agree with you too. I got my first marvel tna figure today, the only low ki they made. Its actually amazing. The articulation is brilliant, the scaling is correct and man does it look like him.

You made no argument why these are better than Mattel's WWE figures. You say they are better than Jakks, but make no attempt to say why they are worse than TNA's figures.

Chris Sabin's figure is so ripped. The moulds are fine, not like they are misshapen or something like that. Burger King give away? What? Sorry not all wrestlers have huge muscles, so Mattel doesn't put huge muscles on guys who don't have them. They aren't Jakks. I think you are mixing up Jakks and Mattel. |

I love me some Toybiz TNA figures, but I think Mattel's Elite line is a bit better. Priced me out at 15 plus tax, but still I think few I've gotten are top notch.
