Except those didn't look like knock off figures at all. Yea they kinda did. They had like 8 points of articulation. Figures now have anywhere between 20-30 points of articulation. They had silly action features, and generic undersized accessories (with the exception of the two belts). About the only positive thing about them were that OSFTM actually put some detail into their clothes. Action features, 8 points of articulation and undersized accessories were THE NORM IN THE LATE 90S. You just invalidated your entire argument because you tried to talk about the ECW figures as if they were released now. Compared to what was released at the time, to say those ECW figures looked like bootlegs is the most moronic  ing statement I've seen you make. It's like saying a SNES game looks like crap because PS4 runs games in 1080p. Of course it's going to look bad compared to what's around now but FOR ITS TIME it was the norm. |

I think you clearly missed my point. I never said that 8 points of articulation wasnt the norm in the 90s, Im saying now, they would look like knock off figures...like the OSFTM ECW line does. Everything else though with the action features & undersized accessories is spot on though from 90s to now. Knockoffs have almost always had undersized accessories. |

You never said they'd look like them now, until that post right there. "At best you might get some generic knock off looking figures like the OSFTM ECW Line." That's what you said. Word for word. I argued they didn't look like knock off figures at all, and you tried to argue that they did (even saying "Yeah, they DID", not that they'd look like it now). All you would have had to say is that "they'd look like it if they were released now." I might have taken your point out of context, but you worded your initial response to me (as well as your original post) very poorly. |

Wait what. When were these announced?! Really interested in hearing more. Maybe in the future we could get flashbacks like Kenta!

Given that ROH isn't licensed to make things of guys from NOAH (that isn't from their footage archive) and that KENTA is probably headed to WWE, I doubt you're going to get that. The company announced at Honorcon in February that they were in negotiations with an action figure company but didn't state which one. |

They had silly action features, and generic undersized accessories (with the exception of the two belts). About the only positive thing about them were that OSFTM actually put some detail into their clothes. To be fair, it was 10, not 8. And they came out at a time when WWE figures only had 5 or had just graduated to 8. And plenty of toy lines now (marvel's non legend lines, TMNT, DC, etc) all have about that many points. They don't look like the best stuff out now, but times have changes. Stuff from the 80s and 90s mostly look bad now, even the best stuff of the time. Knock offs is too strong of a term. Plus we had actually knock offs made from ECW parts and there's a huge quality difference.  Back on sucject, even with their QC problems, I'd be ok with Jazzwares getting the line. Not my first choice, but they could do worse. I also wouldn't mind seeing a company like Moose getting into the action figure market this way. |

I'm assuming they will be sold strictly on their website (maybe a Highspots too) & at live events. For people saying !they won't sell at retail" its probably not even in the works yet. Let them start small & work their way up to retail.
