That Bully Ray figure is really awesome IMO. They will make a great addiction to my TNA collection!

Sweet Bully Ray figure, would love to customise it into a Devon in Aces attire, but would be hard pressed to find one for the arms and head.
Never noticed Sabin had skintone on the legs to simulate his ripped shorts look.
Will probably pick up those 2 most of all.
Waiting for the first guy to say "WHENS DELUXE 13 COMING OUT??"

Two comments is hilarious.
Is jakks aware that people might care about, and even buy (imagine that) thier TNA figures if they went back to RI?

Retailers don't want basic articulation figures, so Jakks wouldn't benefit from it. I'd have to strongly disagree. Retailers dont know jack about what they stock. Collectors would more likely buy RI because of the scale size of the figure. Regardless of articulation jakks would sell more RI figures bc people want them to be in ballpark scale of their mattel's and previous ruthless aggression collections. Not 10 inch tall jeff hardy figures that tower over their mattel Kane's & Undertaker's. |

Funny that Jakks basically killed the TNA line because of Deluxe.

Also, just because you yourself want RA figures doesn't mean everyone will buy them in that scale. Despite us what we collectors believe, we aren't the ones driving the market - its the retailer's wishes. Therefore Jakks caters to them and thus the kiddies who want a 5th Hardy figure or that "cool looking guy with the tattoos". Jakks doesn't care about your individual wants because there's not enough money in it. |

Lol, disagreeing isn't shooting the messenger bro ;-) but it's not my individual want, deluxe aggression and deluxe impact figures never did and never will sell. And it's because of they're scale. They dont fit in with collector's already large mattel & RA collections. |

They dont fit in with collector's already large mattel & RA collections. No arguments there. Deluxe figures are collectible for me, but don't come close to equaling the sheer awesomeness of the RA line up so I agree. In an ideal world, it would have worked out, but I've come to terms with it. I still love my TNA collection though. Just had a thought - a lot of my RA figures got loose arms over the years, from minor to major. But hardly any of my Deluxe figs have the same issues - anyone else notice this? |

But my son is a huge Jeff Hardy fan, his collection is largely Mattel the entire current roster and a bunch of classic wrestlers that he is into, and those DI jeff hardy's towering over his matty Kane & Undertaker's is such an eyesore. |

Funny that Jakks basically killed the TNA line because of Deluxe. What killed the line was the lack of interest in TNA and wrestling as a whole. Just see how many cuts have Mattel done with their WWE line. No more legends line (now its 1 per series at most)...no more rings...etc etc. |
