Thanks Akosa for finally taking the time out and answering some of our questions. I have 2 more for you.
1. Seeing that over half of these questions are asking about RI figures in some form....and from the looks of your facebook poll most were about RI figures. Why do you even ask dedicated fans for our opinions if when we give them to you....its just swept under the rug?
2. Why is jakks all of a sudden against RA/RI figures when they boosted you to the top of the action figure sales chart. But youre bound and determined to keep releasing micro TNA and UFC figures, also the terrible TNA genisis figures which apparently dont sell?
Ive been a collector of your products back from the old BCA WWF figures and the failed DBZ line so Im not some kid that is just ranting. I would just like to know some sort of reasoning.......especially for all the thousands of dollars ive spent with Jakks. Thank you if you decide to reply.

How can you say one week that the line was getting back on its feet and the figures are getting out faster and the next week DI6 gets pushed back to October? Including a cancelled figure (Doug Williams)

Thank you very much Akosa for answering the questions.
1. is there a possibility:
to have 2 knockouts in one series?
to have a knockouts 2 pack exclusive?
to have non-wrestlers(Tazz, SoCal Val, etc.)?
For a HD stage?
for a Scale ring(6 or 4 sides)?
for Mickie James, Tara, Christy Hemme, Miss. Tesmacher, Sarita, Rosita this year or next year?

is there any chance of getting anything done about this RI Scott Steiner?honestly he is essential to many and we dont see the problem now he is back in TNA. We will add him in. Given all the feedback, this is a priority. It will be a fresh attempt at the deco though. |

Will the knockouts ever be more than one per case? Probably not. Unless it was an online exclusive. |

when can we see a more general release on the world and X belts? will we get the tag team titles as well? If you are talking about the roleplay belts, then the tag belts were in there (along with xdiv and world), but they were caspacked lighter. TRU should still have some. If you are talking about the figure belts, there will be a figure belt pack shipping in late Q3 or early Q4. But it will be online only.

Are there any plans for RA/RI Series2? No, for the balance of 2011 and 2012 there will not be any mainline RA/RI. Mainline Legends will be RA/RI still, however. |

Are there any plans to release a Jeff Jarrett figure in his MMA gear? We don't have that in our plans right now, but I like the idea! We already have MMA hands, so it would be an easy addition. We are pretty planned out so it wouldn't be for a while, but I'll take a look at the upcoming releases and see if it makes sense to do it sooner. Thanks. |

Will we ever see a Americas most wanted two pack? or how long till will see a Chris Harris figure? I'm not sure if we have a Chris Harris scan (we should, but I will have to ask the product team to confirm). Given their history with TNA / IMPACT WRESTLING, it would make for a good "Legends" release or online exclusive. |

Plans for Daniels figure ? Mickie James ? Robbie E ? Daniels has been considered for sure. As has Mickie & she'll likely be a 2012 addition. I am a Robbie E mark, so if he hangs around, expect to see him fist pumpin' in our Impact Wrestling action figure line. |

Any plans on releasing NWA or New Japan titles, possibly in an online exclusive set, or with the Legends line? The NWA title is tricky, as we've ran into ownership issues that have held us back from doing that. I've stopped pursuing this for the time being. We have a relationship with NJPW so I can look into that. For either of those titles to be tooled and produced though, I would want to see at least 1-2 majors get on-board to carry them. Haven't done the numbers fully, but it would likely have to be more than online exclusive. |

ok I've been nice and stood up for you guys. Now I want answers... With no BS. Why no RI/RA figures out side of the DI line?? I want current figures in RI/RA from. I don't care for the DI/DA from never had never will And FYI your going to get ALOT of Where the RI line... Thanks for standing up for us in the past, it's appreciated. I cannot go too much into detail, but I will say that our decision to go with DI vs RI moving forward was a strategic decision based upon where we are with the line, where we want to go with the line, and what we want to invest in moving forward. I understand this is a decision that many people feel strongly about, and any decision will leave some people displeased and some people pleased. But as I noted earlier, please know that the JAKKS team is fully committed to making the most detailed, highest quality, best-of-class figures in our scale and price point. Thanks. |

Is raven figure going to be release? Are there going to be more RI/RA figures going to be made? Why are the TNA figures keep delaying as the plan to be release??? No more RI/RA except for Legends in the main line. RE: delays... I can't go into details as to why, but things are loosening up and then back-half of 2011 will be much better. |

Where is the RI line? Will we see any accessories in the DI line? Will we see any playsets like stages or backstage areas? - The RI line is done for 2011 and 2012. Still will be RI style Legends in mainline. - Outside of belts and the occasional apparel item, there are not plans for accessories in DI line as an everyday thing. But there will be some surprises regarding these. - Some cool playsets are on the radar, so we'll see. Product team has some good concepts. |
