I picked up Beth in Matteson friday night, had I of known there was an actual section for state finds I would have posted it when I got home. There was only 1 Beth out of all the figs I saw. Matteson looked to have maybe 1 case out and CCH had 2-3 cases on the shelf friday night.

Is there anyone else who isn't very happy with the new Finlay and Morrison scans? Finlay looks like he is either taking a dump or like a cheap terminator rubber mask, and Morrison his face just looks crooked with his smile it only looks good while he is wearing the sunglasses.
I can live with some of the old scan but some new ones are good if you ask me. Big Show's elite head goes with the attire and Hardy looks much better with his hair down than the one with the massive widows peak.
I wasn't a big fan of the Jakks figs with the screaming mouth or tongue hanging out cause its not how they look when they wrestle.
Overall I love the Mattel figs but I don't want them to start making crappy faces for their great figs.

Can anyone let me know if the DI Samoa Joe is compatable with the new Mattel figures. Joe is the only one I'm interested in, but I don't want him if he wont fit in with my other Mattels. Thanks. Joe is billed at 6'2" and most DA figs all had the same body which is about the same height the Mattel Undertaker and Taker is billed at 6'10.5". I haven't seen Joe to size him up to anyone but I would assume he is the same height as the old Jakks DA figs given they just reused the same parts for TNA. This is just a guess, so don't take this a solid answer.

Another thing that jakks screwed up on is the lack of accessories for the new TNA line, mattel is putting out shirts and coats for their elite/deluxe figs. But then again I am willing to bet that jakks will see the error of their ways and start packing tables, ladders, chairs, and way more breakable benches than needed.

You may be able to find all of them for cheap on e-bay except jeff hardy, I was gonna make a mattel flex force jeff but I wasn't about to shell out $25 plus shipping for his head.

I'm a Mattel fan now so I MAY buy some TNA figs for the head and put it on a mattel body so its in scale and just customize it to my hearts content.
But Jakks just did a half@$$ job with these figs Toy Biz/Marvel Toys put out a better product from what I have seen so far.

Jakks drops the ball on so much that its not even funny at this point. Like the fact that every figure is out of scale and they reuse the same bodies and limbs for TNA that they used with WWE. They have waited until June to release their first wave of TNA figs that are just WWE figs with new heads and paint, and then they funked up even more by delaying the ring for the figures. They can't afford any more real screw ups plus if the TNA figs were on the shelf Jan. 1 with the Mattel WWE figs then TNA might have done better on mondays.
I used to love Jakks figs but they just drop the ball too much like showing all kinds of WWE figs that were cancelled or only released over seas so I missed out on some of the last figs from that line. Mattel has spoiled me with scale, great detail, and availability. Though if Jakks puts out a Syxx-Pac fig I will buy it but I would expect Jakks with the crappy mouth sculpts to have his tongue hanging out. Other than that I will probably only buy the Ultimate X ring if/when it comes out.
This is just my opinion not meant to offend anyone.

Great pick up, were the customs part of the deal or did you make them after you received the figs?

I haven't seen the IC belt yet though I have thought about buying the ECW title quite a bit cause I lack the funds to buy the expensive replica.

I thought the 6 sided ring was set for the end of june now its early july on RSC. Is this gonna end up getting cancelled cause TNA uses a 4 sided ring now?
It really sucks that JAKKS has waited this long to put out TNA figs but now it is gonna be another month b4 the first TNA ring comes out.
*UPDATE* RSC now lists the 6 sided ring not being available until Mid August, while the 6 sides of steel is still listed as Mid July I doubt that will stick. So what it comes down to is: Why is this being delayed again? At the rate Jakks is going the ring will end up being cancelled in the end and they will put out a standard 4 side ring. It is ridiculous that its being delayed further so now it will be almost 2 1/2 months for a TNA ring to be released after the first wave of figures is out. Another problem is that at this rate the Elite Scale WWE ring will probably be available before TNA has a single ring on the shelf.
