Dumb Question: WWF and TNA line any chance?

Sooooooo, whats the question?

Nope.

We don't know the full details of TNA's licensing contracts with their wrestlers. We know some, Kevin Nash being a good example, are non-exclusive. This does not mean all are. Indeed, one would generally expect their contract with talent to include an exclusive license for their likeness. Nash may have negotiated non-exclusivity knowing that acting opportunities might require him to sign off on likeness licensing for other projects. He then just exploited this loophole to signing a licensing deal with Jakks. I think its fair to say many of their wrestlers would not have the leverage or need to make such a demand. Perhaps only Hogan and Foley would have requested that. As such, I would have to regard the prospects of Mattel producing figures of current TNA talent to be unlikely. Especially with the discretionary control WWE can excercise in what figures are produced.

I'd love to see many of the classic wrestlers you cite, but that's all up to Mattel and WWE. Thus far, they haven't shown much desire to dig into that era for Legends figures. Unless a personality is currently under contract to license their likeness to another toymaker, any of them should be fair game, but that doesn't mean Mattel will be interested.

I know they're nowhere near as good looking as Mattel's, but you could always pick up some Toybiz TNA figures for a closer scale. Mattel's never going to make them, so I suppose that would be your best option (I've been considering buying some myself, for the same reason).

Yeah I agree.
Kurt Angle is a fantastic wrestler/personality and I'd also love him in my collection.

Well if Samoa Joe ends up in WWE next year i'd assume a Mattel would likely follow. Or if Kurt Angle retires and signs a legends deal. Otherwise no.

The only Kurt Angle I see and like is the one from TNA but I have only seen it at RSC and the shipping price there is just ridiculous.

Also I am seriously hoping for Goldberg to return to WWE just so I can get his action figure. I will easily pay $30 for my first ever Goldberg wrestling figure! He said he might return to wrestling before the end of this year, hopefully to WWE so I can get his figure, and then leave for TNA.

BOLD=Almost no chance Mattel will make a figure of them considering they are scaling back on Legends/Flashbacks

Well Goldberg might be coming back to the WWE or TNA this year. Man it going to suck if I never get Rhyno and Brock Lesnar, my WWE collection won't be complete without them.

I have heard both of these things slip out of Angles pie-hole actually... In a radio interview a while back when things w/ Karen started to slip he was very much considering a WWE return and said he has no hard feelings and loved being there... I cant remember the name of the radio show tho... will try to look for it... the TNA thing is more recent and when he first made his jump to TNA


Anyhoot... Benoit will never get a fig which sucks cuz even tho he did an awful thing he was still amazing in the ring and with the way lately Lesner has been gettin name dropped and thrown into WWE DVDs (21st centurys greatest DVD) he may sign over for a legends line... Goldberg will most likely return but to whom (WWE or TNA) will determine fig status

Would love a Rikishi fig and with his boys in the WWE maybe they could talk daddy dearest into it lol

And I know they say never say never but with the current "movie" roles Chyna is getting don't expect a fig of her lol
