I wouldn't say that. They may not be number 1 but they've been making strides. Maybe if they were to come on times were more of a younger fan base could see it would happen. Plus I don't know about y'all but my K-Mart carried these luchadore figures of like mark jindrak and others. I know they can't be on a mainstream channel in the US. So stranger figures have been released. I think it'd be sort of smart for ROH to join with a cheaper Dollar General type company. Not only starting off small but having actual wrestlers made in decent plastic would probably go over well. Even if kids didn't know ho they were it'd still be better than the "Sin Cara" luchador dude with a chainsaw (yes a flippin chainsaw! Lol) they sell now lmao. Lucha Libre USA was on MTV and was expected to be MUCH bigger than it actually ended up being. Not only is ROH not big enough.. they don't have a product that'd appeal to kids. a whole line of generic looking guys in short tights, plus Kevin Steen. If you put Davey Richards, Kyle O'Riley, Eddie Edwards, & Mike Bennett in a line up, the average wrestling KID could not tell them apart, much less say who's who. The lucha libre USA toys at least had appeal to them that they were colorful and looked very different. Unless some money mark fronts $20-$40k to make ROH figures happen, ROH figures will not happen

Sadly, it won't happen.
When ECW got a line, it was a different time. We were in the midst of both a wrestling and a toy boom. Unless that happens again, we won't see figures of them. It has just gotten to expensive for smaller companies to really be viable in the toy market.

Someone get Dennis Haskins' on the phone. He's a big wrestling fan and I'm sure he still has some of that Saved by the Bell money left over to front ROH for some figures. ;D
