Will there be any release news on Jim Cornette, Terry Taylor, Andre The Giant or the prototype Scott Steiner figure for the Legends line?

Where is the RI line?
Will we see any accessories in the DI line?
Will we see any playsets like stages or backstage areas?

I know a lot of people are upset about your choice to go with DI instead of RI. I, for one, am happy with you decision as I prefer DI. But what I wanna know is,
What made you decide to go with the Deluxe style over the Ruthless style?
Will we be seeing more accessories as the line continues?
Do you have any information on what series that Brutus Magnus figure will be in?
At ToyFare a couple years back, you showed some Superstars of Wrestling figures and a ring. Any information on that?
Thank you and I appreciate the time you take to answer these questions. I've been a collector of your figures for as long as I can remember. You guys produce some of the best figure out there.

Hello everyone! My name is Akosa and I am the Brand Manager on both the TNA and UFC product lines. First thing I'd like to say to everyone is THANK YOU for your support of the line since its inception and for your patience during this first half of 2011. The back half of 2011 will be solid, and I'm really excited about it. Thanks again for your support, and time for me to start answering some questions.  |

Are there any plans for a Daniels or christy hemme figure in the deluxe impact line? The figures they will get out more faster? The futur series will they still pushed 4 or 5 times?  THANKS and TNA rules. Regarding Daniels & Hemme-- Right now, we are planned out through about March 2012 and, right now, there is now Daniels or Hemme figures in the line ups. That doesn't mean we won't see either of those, but we plan on surveying folks interests in the near future & if those two names pop it would put them on the map more so than they are now. Regarding future Series-- I am very glad to say that the schedule will be much more dependable starting starting with Series 5 & when it ships to retail (in June). Thanks |

Is the LotR Series 6 Terry Taylor canceled? And will you ever release that LoTR Scott Steiner? No, the Legends Terry Taylor is not cancelled, despite him leaving the company. Now, if he would've left, say, two months ago I may have swapped him out. Given the interest in the Scott Steiner Legend, yes, we will do one of him. However, I think we can do a better version than the prior one that was shown, so it would be a new figure but likely with the same head. |

Will we see more sets of the RI (Impact Style) figures besides the LOTR figures? The most asked question need a straight to the point answer!!! I agree, this is the most asked question, and we've thought a LOT about how to move forward with this. We considered everyone's feedback, what Impact/RI vs DLX Impact style means overall for where the line is, and what it means for where we want to take it... After many months looking at this and talking about it, we've decided that 2011 & 2012 will continue to have a focus on the Deluxe Impact style. Legends will still have the opportunity to be Impact/RI style, however. While I know this decision is one that will certainly please some folks & displease others, I hope all will know that we are 100% committed to delivering a level of quality and detail that ensures TNA Action Figures remain the best-in-class figure in its price point and scale. |

Will you be pursuing any NJPW names for the Legends spot in your DI line? Such as Muta,Inoki,Chono,Liger? Any news on the RI line getting more series'? Due to the sublicensing agreement in place with NJPW, I am quite interested in pursuing some of the names you've listed. I can share that we have had talks with some of the people mentioned. Regarding the RI line-- There are no plans for more series that are strictly RI. That style will still show up with Legends and maybe some special pack executions, but not straight assortments. |

- What does the immediate and distance futures hold for the Legends of the Ring line? - Will a RI-style Scott Steiner be released? The immediate future includes current strategy of one Legend per TNA Series. Raven, Terry Taylor, Andre the Giant, for sure as they are already planned. Distant future, I want to expand upon Legends offerings and I think our agreements with NWA and NJPW present good opportunities. Regarding Scott Steiner legend... He will be released and almost certainly will be Impact/RI style. The deco will be updated though. |

why are you pushing out loads of exclusives yet the actual line is being pushed back ? I cannot go into detail about the delays with the main line, sorry. However thank you for your patience during this first half of the year. Much appreciated. |

Why are legends made in RI form when the main line is DI?
Is it possible to have Deluxe legends any time soon?
How many "first Jakks figure" are planned for series?
EDIT: Thank you so much for your presence here. Please make appearances as much as possible!

why is it taking so long to get out the line? almost every series has had a delay or has been pushed back. Same answer as for mcgowan111... Cant get into the specifics around this, but thank for the support during the delays. The back half of the year is looking good & I look forward to getting these out more reliably! |

Why are legends made in RI form when the main line is DI? Is it possible to have Deluxe legends any time soon? How many "first Jakks figure" are planned for series? The Legends done as Impact/RT style is a decision that was made before I came onto the line... I'm not sure what the reason was, but it works, so we've stayed with it. I'll ask the product lead why we did that. Regarding DLX Legends... we have done some of the online Legends exclusives as DLX. For example, we did X-Division "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles and the Red White & Blue Sting figure DLX style. Regarding "first JAKKS figures" per each series. That's a series-by-series decision, but looking at the plans we're tracking at about 3 per series of 5. |

Anymore plans to make more Diecast belts? Any word if figures will start to include Accessories? Were any of the delays because of TNA rebranding itself to Impact? When can we expect to see the RSR you've been working on? Is Kevin Nash out of the next CTL series? Diecast Belts-- Yes Accessories-- likely not the $9.99 figs on an every-figure basis Delays-- Can't share details about that TNA rebranding to Impact Wrestling-- We are doing a packaging refresh to address this & be consistent with the new rebranding. Once we have licensor approval on the new design, I'll post to the facebook page. Nash-- He is in the next CTL series, but it will be the final Kevin Nash you see in the line. |

Any chance of a modern Jeff Hardy in Ruthless Impact form? If so, when can we expect him? Any chance of a static line, like Unmatched Fury, with the TNA license? It's be a dream to see guys like Sting, Angle and Jeff Hardy in that format. Jeff Hardy RI-- We're not moving forward with the Impact/RI style except for Legends. Unmatched Fury w/TNA-- I am not against it, and I do like that scale, but looking at the next year, it is unlikely. I do think an amazing Sting figure in that scale & style would be awesome though. |

Thanks for all the good questions and the interest & support for the line!
Later.
