Mixed emotions on these. Like some but not others. They head scans are really good but I fear to see how out of scale they are with RA. Probably get some and skip a lot of others. Liked the Genesis 4 pack.

Folks, these are pics of the actual production samples Jakks had on hand. Looks like Sting won't come with knee pads. Lots of HUGE heads and oversized arms. Painted on details like Sting's tights and he doesn't even get a proper glove mold. Jarrett looks decent, though he doesn't get his knee pad details either! The Angle they had on hand looks good, though extremely outdated. Well done Jakks, you suck. If this is true and they are the production figures then HOW THE HELL WILL STING HOLD HIS BAT- he has two open gloves!!! uhh such a fail

I'll still get Kevin Nash, Jeff Jarrett, Sting, Mick Foley and Hulk Hogan.

I thought for sure I'd collect these, but they look horrible!
Bye Jakks, it's been fun.

The Angle they had on hand looks good, though extremely outdated. Well done Jakks, you suck. I keep looking at the production samples and now I am laughing. Sting's head and arms are so oversized it is pitiful. His biceps look like they are about to pop. Jarrett is about the same and his facial expression is ridiculous. His mouth is wide open where I could say something extremely inappropriate but I will refrain. Series 1 should be titled TNA on Steroids. I still think Samoa Joe's production sample is Jakks going in the right direction. I am trying to justify purchasing these but I am having trouble.

At least it looks like the "limited articulation" 4 pack is going to be RI! Fingers crossed! The rest of the stuff that I saw on here was crap! This stuff looks worse than the last few series of WWE figs! WTF Jakks?!

I am really wondering if Jakks has enough retail interest in this line.

Well, since I'm a DA and MA Fan I have to say: THANK YOU JAKKS! Can't even wait for your generic Micro Figure Pack to come out. Hope the Ring is in Scale to the Figures!
THANK YOU for continuing these lines!!!

It just seems like Jakks took a huge step back instead of taking a huge leap foward with TNA. I have little hope in this line. BCA figures really! TNA programing may be crap but come on not the figures I might have to wait until I see a final product. But it looks like I'll be collecting some of the WWE Legends/Classics.

Honestly I am a little dissapointed as I was hoping for more protos instead of the paper pictures. I REALLY want to know if the Legends lien will be RA or DA (RI or DI). This is a BIG deal as it will determine whether I continue collecting the legends line,

I hope we get some of those generic figures in RA or DA form not just Micros and Havocs. I would love some generic looking guys in my collection

So in the span of a few months jakks has managed to strip details off figures, produce totally irrelevant superstarz lines (bootleg-like much?) and produce nash's which arent even right. He doesnt wear gloves! And he is not that fat in the upper section, for once you could have used a ripped/muscular singlet part. Theres some good, some bad. I though maybe jakks would recover now they have a new brand but wow have they done it again...

I try to be optimistic, but it's really hard after seeing this lazy 6th grade last-minute science project setup that Jakks put out at TOYFAIR Seriously...cardboard pictures? ? I couldn't help but laugh at the unreleased DA Kurt Angle picture in the belt/figure box. The Series 1 Angle, Sting, Styles, etc. all look pretty much like what I expected from Jakks. However I really am surprised after all this time they haven't designed anything new for their Deluxe wrestling figure bodies. They made the awesome looking UFC Deluxe torso & arm mold...why not use that here??? They are still sticking with the horrendous "snow boot" short kickers and the ballooned up biceps. I'm also confused why the "live" figure of Nash looks one way...but the packaged one looks different. The one actually in the 2 pack looks much much better and I hope it stays like that. Again, their strong points are the headscans...Steiner looks awesome, Sting is perfect, even AJ looks great. It seems like for some of the guys they are using the right parts to their capabilities. I understand no one has a ripped chest in real life that looks like their DA molds...but that sort of thing really doesn't bother me. The "Legends of the Ring" packaging looks like crap. If that is going to be their "Classic Line" I am very disappointed in the MOC carding. Nothing stands out, it's almost no different than the regular lines. I read what Tom put about the current DA figures being used as EXAMPLES and breathed a sigh of relief. I don't think Jakks is that stupid enough to put a current day Kevin Nash in a "Legends" box. I am completely, totally, utterly disgusted with the fact that Jakks is seriously wasting their time, money & effort on these ATROCIOUS "Havoc" style figures TNA & Wrestling Superstarz. Those are a disgrace to the wrestling figure universe. In closing...these are all just "samples" and who knows how they will look in closing. But if Jakks really wanted to create excitement for their upcoming TNA line (which is what Toyfair is for) they completely FAILED. I can't get excitied knowing their history of cheaping out & being lazy...but I'll be waiting to see that Deluxe Sting & AJ Styles up for order on Ringside or on the pegs in stores before I really pass full judgement. The only thing positive is that RA or DA they will all fit with my current WWE Jakks collection.

Many have probably already asked, but is this RA? That Angle looks RA to me.

As for the Havoc style figures, they are the only TNA figures I have hope for! If the head scans have been resized to fit those bodies, then I shouldn't have much trouble putting them on Mattel base bodies
