Abyss wins this for me.
I can't blame Jakks here, they got TNA at an interesting point where Hulk Hogan came in, clearly that helped with marketing etc. Though the brand reputation and 'spirit' for TNA was gone not long after that sadly. You can fully understand why they lost interest in DL13 with the two figures, Spike had dropped them etc.
Shoot me for saying this, but I hope WWE buy the TNA library and copyrights one day... it would be really nice to have some retro TNA figures, and maybe even a real scale ring.

I really like the Hogan. I put some red knee pads on him from the Deluxe Santino and it's perfect. Makes the legs look less skinny. Abyss is really good too. I voted for Hogan.

I was torn between Hulk Hogan and pretty much all of the Jeff Hardys in the end I went for hte series 7 Jeff Hardy. I like the facepaint and the shirt design is pretty cool too.

Definitely Abyss. That figure is downright impressive.

This was a tough choice, but I ultimately went with Christopher Daniels, even though I wasn't necessarily a fan of that attire. Honestly, his TNA Marvel/Toybiz figure is one of my favorite wrestling figures ever. Hogan and Sting are tied for second. If they'd have given Hogan at least kneepads, and maybe a removable bandana, that would hands down be my first pick. And even though I wasn't a fan of "Joker" Sting(I always thought they could've done a lot more with the gimmick at the time. Some of his stuff with Anderson was gold)I loved his look at the time.
To me personally, the whole TNA Jakks era oddly somewhat mirrors TNA Wrestling in itself; started with tons of potential, then slowly faded into obscurity.
There are definitely some gems here, and I have some fond memories of collecting these.

Went with Crimson. He was one of the very few fresh faces we got. Ultimately, there were very few figures that were first and only time as figure form. It’ll kinda be sad if someone who already has multiple figures gets this win 😂
I can say that line had some potential. If you look at it, they seemed to be trying hard to put out new faces for awhile. Aries, Crimson, Gail Kim, Tessmacher and Madison Rayne were some pretty cool attempts to jazz up the series. I wish they’d have put out a few more in series 12.
Btw these were terrible to display MOC 😂 Them knees weren’t as flattering as the packaging was.

Went with Abyss, Crimson was very close though. i've said it before, and i'll say it again, the lack of different wrestlers really killed this line for me, we got so many of the same people, like Jeff Hardy, AJ Styles, Rob Van Dam etc., event though some of those figures were good, we already had multiple of them, so many people could have been made, DJ Z, EC3, Rockstar Spud, Robbie E, Gunner, Kenny King, Jessie Godderz, ODB, even Garret Bischoff would of been a neat addition to the line, and if anyone needed more figures at the time, we needed an Updated Eric Young
And don't even get me started on the figures shown at SDCC 2011 that were never released, so much wasted potential for this line

Though choice but I ultimately voted for Abyss because that figure was awesome from the color scheme, to the sculpt, the overall figure was great; plus I never imagined a day where we would get a Jakks Abyss figure to match the WWE figure at the time.
With all that being said my second place goes to Shark Boy and it's in second place because I personally was a huge fan of the character and owning a Jakks figure of him was awesome! Third place to Hulk Hogan another amazing figure, fourth to AJ Styles, 5th to Bully Ray, 6th to Christopher Daniels SCU, 7th to Kazarian SCU, 8th to series 5 Jeff Hardy in pink, 9th to Crimson, and 10th to series 11 Jeff Hardy with red mask. The rest are good but i'm not as interested to them as I am with the others.
This line started started out with a bang but fell down a huge slope after a few series. I agree that there should have been more new faces but knowing Jakks it was never going to happen the way wanted it to happen. At least we hot some good figures out of this line. The ONE thing that I wish we would have gotten from this line was the real scale six sided ring that would have been amazing!

Abyss for me. The best figure in the whole Jakks/TNA line, it really was an amazing figure and the one I was most excited about when it was announced. Actually that was my favourite box that they used, I hated the blue line packaging.

Abyss, please don't hate me, but I've gotta go with Hogan. He's a great figure from a time when I was still really happy with TNA.

While my choice is losing, I’m glad Abyss looks like he’s gonna get this one. I don’t know, I’d feel kinda bad if someone like Hogan or Hardy won. They both have fantastic figures from WWE lines. If Jakks couldn’t even get one Impact star right that would be a bummer 😂

That AJ fig was the only one I had of him up until the last year or so. Shame he is missing the gloves
