TBH once again Jakks dropped the ball. All of those look like crap except for Angle, Styles, and Jarrett. The Foley and Joe look especially bad.

People... read his comments:
"There are DI figures in the Legends packaging as EXAMPLES. This does not confirm or deny what style the figures are in. These are examples."
They're freaking EXAMPLES. It doesn't mean the figures you see are the ones being released like that. They have until Novemember for LOTR.

God awful crap , stupid gigantic heads again ,esp Sting. Nice almost all the protos are photo shopped pictures slapped onto a package. I wonder if Jakks toyfare give away was the Nash figure with the logo scotch taped to his torso? Almost all the headscans are awful.

That is a horrible presentation! There are so many wrong with it, I'm not even going to bother going into detail other than to say two things.
1- You could have at least hid the knots in the ring robes. 2- Memo to Jakks, I know it's short notice, but Scott Steiner is no longer with TNA.

Neither of the LotR figures shown are classic at all. Also, it appears that it's not the NWA line as it only mentions TNA on the box.
Over all, very poor showing. The only oes I have the slightest interest in were already shown a few months back.
Beer Money Looks good, I might consider getting them. but jakks is certainly not making me want to collect the whole line.

I just noticed that on one it says Deluxe Imact and the other just Impact, mean RA on the Abyss hopefuly.

But the entire presentation looks like they just didn't give a damn. The half-assed photo shop. The psuedo RA guys in the "limited articulation" pack. And what the hell are those bootleg looking things!? this. Seriously though...In 6 months time, they don't have anything new to show except Nash. Alot of the DI figs are good if you like DA, but overall, Jakks just doent seem to give a shyt.

Are they serious with that Team 3D? Is there some wife beater wearing, beer drinking uncle in a garage somewhere in charge of Jakks Pacific that green lights this ****?
The only benefit to recycling the old DA molds is that they will seamlessly blend in with WWE DA figures. When you factor that into it, some of these looks alright. Angle, for instance, has a nice sum of detail. Who knows if he'll keep it, but if he does he won't look bad for the DA style.
I just think it's a big mistake to take this fresh opportunity to adapt the DA line to modern times and throw it out the window. Now is their chance to get rid of the balloon arms, be attentive of scaling, make more realistic molds, etc. They have STING, a huge commodity they've been after for years, and they can't even be bothered to give him his own leg mold? It just personifies the apathy we've been accustomed to for the past god knows how many years.

Im not really worried about this. The first series isnt suppose to arrive for another 10 months. I didnt expect Jakks to have a crap ton of prototypes.
Also I think this clarifies that the TNA Legends of the Ring and the NWA brand are two separate lines. So I look forward to seeing the NWA line probably around the November toyfair or Ringside which ever it may be

I don't know what I was expecting, but I wasn't expecting that.... My feelings exactly... I'll get Sting and Steiner I guess. I guess.

I just noticed that on one it says Deluxe Imact and the other just Impact, mean RA on the Abyss hopefuly. After, I looked at that pic I believe it most definatly means RA!!! looks like I'm not going to quit collecting after all. Also, if you notice on the side of the LOTR Steiner package unlike the others that say TNA it says NWA so this is in fact the only Legends line, they just combined both TNA & NWA in it!!!
