ROH/Indy/Legends Figures

this dudes responded more in the last 2 weeks than Mattel Design Team has in the last year. So he obviously cares

that said...As someone that didn't collect Jakks figures, most of the complaints here....seem to be the same reason I didn't collect Jakks. Wrong boots..larger heads...everyone using the same body. These are the same things Jakks did. So you can't really expect more from a smaller indie toy company that just bought some of the molds.

i actually dont even think the elgin head looks that big. Especially compared to other Jakks figs i've seen.

This line would best serve collectors with just the heads and soft goods. Because i can see how someone can take that Elgin head, singlet and entrance jacket and easily throw it on a thicker Jakks body w/ shorter boots

When JAKKS started the DA line, I was about 15, my interest in WWE was starting to fade and the idea of starting a new collection kind of put me off collecting for a while. But, I did like the articulation that DA offered compared to the RA. I would have rather they started with DA from the beginning, but I was happy to see a change from the RA body because I never cared for them but I bought RA's because that's all there was at the time.
I started collecting again around Elite series 7, because Mattel offered everything I wanted; articulation, a scale and cloth accessories.

The only DA figures I have are TNA's Matt Morgan, Magnus, Rob Terry & Bully Ray. They tower over my Elites, but I'm fine with that because these guys are pretty big in real life, and for my own picfed use, I can just justify having a few HUGE guys. I have most of the Lucha Libra USA figures and they're even bigger than a DA body. Size & scale matter to me, so I wouldn't buy a Rey Mysterio if he's the same size as Rob Terry.

I never had any RA divas, I never knew there were RA/DA bodys for the women. I do like the DA woman's body, so I'm very likely to buy most of the FTC Roh/Indy women they will make, provided they use the DA body.

1) I think it's really cool that FTChris has been on here and addressing our concerns. At the end of the day, FTC wants to make wrestling figures that people want to buy.

2) Unfortunately, they can only produce figures for people who like RA style figures. I'm not one of those, so I probably won't be buying many. I'd like to think that if they had the ability to make an Elite style, they probably would. Of the 5 heads we've seen so far, the only "bad" one is Jay's, the rest are pretty damn good. Elgin's head isn't bad, it's the size that's the issue. I like that they're using cloth material. Throw a good head on an Elite-like body, add cloth materials and you easily have my money. But, that's not what they're producing. They're making RA style figures with good heads & cloth materials. It seems that there is a market for that, so I hope these sell.

3) All we can do is tell FTC what we, as consumers would spend our $$ on. If you're not gonna buy the figures like me, that's fine, we're not their target market. If you are happy with these figures and you are going to spend money to buy them, GOOD FOR YOU ENJOY!

4) I wonder how many figures are going to be produced, I wonder how many will sell.

5) How much do you think these will go for? I think they'll be around $20. I'll have to wait for people to buy these, then customize them with Elite bodies, so I'll probably end up spending about $50-60 on the secondary market for ROH/Indy figs. I'd spend up to $35 for a FTC elite-ish figure if they ever make any.

5) I want these figures to be successful, I want FTC to eventually make new elite-ish molds, but the only way that might ever happen is if the first few RA waves are successful, then maybe sometime down the line FTC will invest in new bodies to get people like me who are interested in ROH/Indy figs but won't buy a RA body. There are so many figures it looks like FTC will produce that I would buy IF they were Elite-ish, but they're not so I won't buy. Maybe there are enough people like me that FTC will eventually make something we'd buy.

6) Why isn't RSC doing something like this? FTC doesn't get exclusives like RSC does. If RSC is big enough to get Mattel to make exclusives, why can't RSC do something with JAKKS or another company to make a few exclusives?

7) Anyone know when the RSC's ring barriers are gonna be released?

I was excited for the ROH/Indy line and still am, but I must admit if kick pads are the only mold FTC has to work with then I am less excited. While the head is in fact too big I can deal with it, but the kickers on Elgin look really silly and makes me wonder why FTC would even make an Elgin right off the bat without the correct parts. I'll reserve judgement until I see the other figures. I just hope that incorrect parts don't ruin the line. Does this mean a guy like Roderick Strong is also gonna have kick pads?

Also great to see Ringside and FTC working together after all these years.

Important question that no ones brought up, will the figures be stained at all by their attire?

Probably because the answer is either maybe or maybe not. How could anyone answer this?

Staining on figures when using fabric clothing is evident, that Elgin figure is obviously in hand, I was simply wondering.
Don't @ me.

I was on the fence about this line, but after seeing the Elgin I think I have no choice but to be all in. Figure looks great!

Thanks for clearing all that up. I also collect Mattel Elite as well as RAs. I would add though, I don't feel most people aren't unhappy they aren't Elite. I've read a lot of comments on Facebook and everything on here and I think the consensus is most believe the heads won't be small enough to be proportionate to the Jakks style body (which would in turn make them more likely to fit on Elite). This was the major problem with Jakks at the end of the line, and people don't want to see this line start out on the wrong foot. I know these aren't ready or really even close to ready, and we've only seen one prototype.. So I think most people who see these should be willing to give you guys the benefit of the doubt
