Hey guys, just showing you some photos of my new set of DI 5. I wanted to get Angelina but can't afford her atm, so will have to pick her up another time. I wanted to bring to your attention something I noticed on Joe: Basically he looks amazing, new sculpted short tights and kickers:   But when you look at the boots more carefully:  I couldn't believe it. The protos showed the kicker foot mold, so hopefully I can change these over when I get home with other DA boots. Hopefully you can see what I mean (poor quality due to my mobile). Anyway here are the other guys I got:     Great debut figure, they nailed the likeness, however he should have had a longer hair trail that at least crept a little down his neck, like he has in real life. No big deal though. And now for my personal favorite, a figure I've been waiting 8 years for since I first watched TNA in 2003, the man who got me interested in the company and a loyal supporter of his ever since.... RAVEN      RAVEN EFFECT!  |

This is annoying. Jakks is such a useless company it's unreal.
Now, I'm a fan of Mattel and Jakks so if it's still "fashionable" to call people who critisise Jakks on here a Mattel fan-boy, then let me say this is far from the truth.
I've spent so much money on supporting Jakks. I dislike the deluxe style if I'm honest, but I want to collect TNA figures and with the lack of Ruthless figures I've been buying deluxe.
My main issue is how can they get something so wrong? The prototype showed the type of foot he should have. It looked fine. I'm pretty sure the actual foot mold is just from the old kickpads, which is perfectly fine. The point I'm making is they haven't even had to go to the trouble of making a new part.
Why ruin what would have been the best Samoa Joe in figure form? (Sidenote: I personally am not a big fan of his Toybiz versions.)
I'm guessing every Joe is like this as I've bought one with these incorrect feet, I've seen a video on Youtube and the figure has incorrect feet and now your figure confirms this.
EDIT: That Raven figure is really good. If you have any spare black deluxe elbow pads, they look really good as knee pads as they can fit slightly under the shorts and you can still see the tattoo on his calf.

Yeah I may just do that, the more I look the shorter the shorts seem. another cock up by jakks, damn that sucks! did you not get hardy, will prob pick this set up when they hit retail. Nah, it's too pink for me  Plus I have DI 4 one which is just about perfect |

Great receivings and thanks for the loose pics. Man, I really wanted that Joe since the protos first showed up at Toyfair, but after seeing the big mistake Jakks made, I'm not sure now. The Rob Terry looks like a good figure and I may consider picking him up. No pics of the Global/Television belt? That Raven looks like such an awesome figure and that is one that I'm definitely getting. Enjoy your new figures.

You could always get a DA figure with black kicker boots, remove the feet and swap with the samoa Joe. My phone made the pics too blurry and I accidentally deleted the photo so I couldn't show the Global title in such poor quality anyway |

How does the DI 5 Samoa Joe compare size wise to the DI 1 Samoa Joe? I can't compare the 2 because I'm in London at the moment and my DI 1 Joe is in my home in Plymouth. But at a guess I'd say the DI 5 one is slightly smaller. He is only a tiny bit taller than Rob Terry and I know for sure the DI 1 would be even taller than Terry. Only an educated guess though. What belt is it that the one figure comes with? Rob Terry comes with the TNA Global/Television championship in a magenta/red strap |

Wow that Joe kicker/shoelaced foot issue is typical Jakks. Ruins what should be such a great figure.
