All members of the roster in the first series were present to debut their figures including Samoa Joe, Kurt Angle, Suicide, AJ Styles, Jeff Jarrett, & Sting. Dixie Carter was also present to speak on the monumental line. Watch the conference in HD below!

Wow, that video made me realize two things.... TNA chants are very generic and... TNA doesn't even know their own product lines... they said it was Joe's first action figure with TNA when it was his like third or fourth... not to mention it was also called TNA's first figure line... Somebody wanna nudge them and correct them on that, PLEASE!?

I agree. And it's not like Jakks all of a sudden made these phenomenal figures. toy Biz was very good and had much better detail. Hell Cornette had them all over his office.

But, who cares though? I mean, it's not some huge deal that's going to hurt anyone. It's obvious they're line with Toybiz/Marvel Toys was a complete and utter failure - why go "This is your 3rd figure since joining TNA.. nobody bought the others?", it hurts your product.

Okay, if the line wasn't a failure - explain to me that by the 6th series why 50% of the stores that were carrying them, dropped them? There were very few that actually carried them and by the 5th and 6th line, even fewer stores carried them. The line was a failure, I know how good the figures (sometimes) were but that doesn't make the line a success when you talk business.

Or they could have done like they did with Sting and said..."You have had numorous figures in the past, but this is your first Jakks Pacific figure." 90 % of those were from Toy Biz/Marvel so it does sound like they forgot Joe had some figures in the past.
