If there were pictures to share, Ringside Collectibles would share them. But they don't sell ROH figures. So, there's no photos.

From Reddit by a guy who works for the company making them. More info on reddit if you want to hunt it down.
Any style wrestling figure we do, be it ROH or Legends, would be similar to the JAKKS. The Batman figures, etc. are made that way to appeal to the MEGO audience. We aren't looking to do the "doll" style figures for any wrestling line.
ROH Series 1 is going to be officially announced through both our sites and ROHWrestling.com once the prototypes and finalized product images are all available. We are unable to disclose the individual stars until the launch is ready.
Here's what I can tell you:
Right now Series 1 is in the midst of production. We expect it to launch in the springtime.
Series 2 is also already in production! That set will feature another 4 talents.
A ring playset, with accessories and an exclusive figure available only with the ring at this time is also coming out as part of the line.
Figures will have official ROH action figure belts, accessories, and cloth clothing for any t-shirts, shorts, etc. Normal trunks/tights will be painted as is typical. These are very much being made as "collector's edition" style figures in the vein of the WWE Mattel Elite line.
Figures will be packaged in the clamshell plastic cases that we use for our other products, enabling you to open them up and put the figures on display without damaging the card. If you want them back in the box, they can be sealed right back up.
The Ring of Honor line will have "Throwback" figures made for it. People have misconstrued this, or "fantasy booked" some scenarios, so I do want to make a few things clear on that:
I've seen posts on the web asking or thinking that we are going to do guys like Bryan Danielson, CM Punk, Tyler Black (Seth Rollins), etc. We are not going to for a few reason.
1)Legally, we cannot make a figure for someone who has a likeness or merchandising contract with another company
2)There have been so many figures made for those talents. The goal with the ROH line is to bring something new to the table. There is a wide array of ROH talent, current and former, that has never been released as a figure. We are focused on the modern ROH roster, and anyone available for a "Throwback".
3)I personally work hand in hand with ROH on proposing and developing the lineups. Everything and everyone that we release has gone through their office and is approved on their side as well as ours. That goes back to my comment about being focused on current ROH, and not the former talents now with other companies.
4)Expected release is springtime. While I don't have a concrete date to give, the target for Series 1 would be in or around April.
The likenesses will be sculpted. Our sculptor previously worked for NECA before joining us, and does great work (check out the likenesses of the Batman '66 figures for a taste of his talent!). I've seen all the face designs, and these look awesome. I can tell you for one thing that the talent themselves were blown away by it when they saw it. These are extremely detailed, and he has captured them all perfectly.

Saw the belts for the ROH figs on twitter and they look awesome. Here's hoping the figures aren't bad because then I won't have to pay outrageous scalper custom prices for a Chris hero figure.

The belts look good, much more like Mattel than Jakks. I just hope the final versions are painted, and not flat dull like that.
Also hoping this thread isn't deleted. Anything that drives interest towards this hobby shouldn't be treated as a bad thing.

Looking at some old JAKKS figures I've got with the very few Mattel ones I've got, I hope they don't use the JAKKS mold. Where everyone had the same body and the same height it was ridiculous. If I wanna do some action shots or something I don't to have ACH have a larger physique than a Cena if that makes sense. In the Reddit chat the guy said they will be similar to JAKKS, I hope not too similar.

The only real hope is that the heads aren't too huge to be used in Mattel customs.
