LMAO! They can't bothered to make a new jacket and glove mold for that Sting. Jakks has to be the cheapest  ing toy company ever. |

EPIC FAIL Sharkboy's arms are huge while Sting has tiny arms while wearing that jacket which is removable but he will always have the sleeves on. Though on the plus side it looks like they got the ribbed look right for Sting's pads. Are they at least gonna give him a bat to go with it?
Also Lethal's face looks like a "OHHHHHH YEAAAAAHHHHHHH!!! I just crapped my tights."

It's basically a waste of time just like James St. James stated none of these figures are really gonna get sales all the kids like WWE if you even mention TNA there like what are you talking about. I can see these figures being taken off the shelf's by next year at the latest.Hopefully they make Hamada shes the only knockout I like.

Velvet is GREAT! I'm not a big fan of women's figures, because they usually look like crap, but I'm DEFINITELY gonna get Velvet Sky!! Can't wait for an Angelina Love figure, too! Thank you for actually making a new mold for the women, Jakks! The Knockouts are gonna end up as Jakks big seller in this line. The DI women look far better than any RA woman ever did!

Velvet is the only one that is freakin awesome. Finally a decent DI figure. Nash...same as two pack...Lethal, outdated, Sting, with the molded on trench? Come on Jakks, we want removable coats. Morgan ans shark boy are decent. Still hard to get hyped up about this stuff when it's basically the same molds over and over...its a bit tedious. Come on, dude. Let's be realistic here.. Jay Lethal just changed attires in freaking May. There was no way they would be able to change the attire at all. Jesus. Ok. I'll give you that. But what about Samoa Joe? He was out gettin raped by ninjas for about 3 months after that gimmick. Kurt Angle? MEM's been gone for how long now. Shark Boy, although I dont mind, hasnt been on frukin tv for over a year. Foley? It'd be one thing if Jakks was doing a running change but they're not.( Go ahead and say it, "how do you know, did Jakks tell you they weren't"  . Bottom line is again, we seen these figures in the Summer of 2009. For a god damn year, they've changed nothing or even attempted to make a change. It's like they don't even follow the product. While, right out the gate Mattel is updating stuff left and right. Mattel has had less to work with, less time and less experience, and still the majority of their figs re up to date and better detailed then Jakks. It's inexcusable and lazy. Will I buy the figs? some of them, yes, becasue I like TNA. But doesn't mean I shouldnt hold the company accountable for the product they make. Jakks deserves alot of credit for getting the protos out there, but some of their methods has alot to be desired and is really inexcusable for as long as they've been in the game, and especially now that they have competition. |

While I will not and do not collect DA style figures, they look AWESOME for what they are. My favorite in this set is Jay Lethal, if he came with a robe, I would be tempted to get him. I sure hope we get all of these in RA style one day. Then and only then, will I collect the TNA line. You will ;D |

What the ? at 4LK if some of the figures suck they suck. I realize this, but it seems like around here anything that ever involves TNA immediately gets bashed. Even if most of the figs in a set are good, people will ignore those and only talk about how much the other ones suck. People already come in with a negative perception about them, and if they are good, they just come in and argue with people that Mattel is better. Who ing cares? They're wrestling figures. If you don't like them, don't buy them. You (not you in particular) are getting literally nothing accomplished by coming in this thread and bitching. Not directed at you 4LK but,I get tired of people bitching about people bitching. So what! they don't like the figures. Is Jakks someone's daddy and the figures' someone's mommy that some people get so damn defensive becasue someone says a bad comment towards them? Same thing happens over on the TNA board. It's like no one is allowed to say anything bad about TNA or a comment needs to be made to defend them, yes, I'm lookin at you SG   . I understand, some people do just come on the board and bitch without ever saying anything positive, but let's be honest..TNA, jakks, wwe, mattel all have stuff that people can complain about. They're not above criticism and have proven that time and again. So why not just let people vent. Is that not what the forum is partly for? to discuss the topic? Not just how someone responds to the topic? |

I going to buy that Velvet Sky figure. Wow, hopefully Jakks releases more DA knockouts in the near future. Awesome Kong would have been interesting in DA, but never say never!

WOW! That velvet did not disappoint! That is one of the best woman figures ive ever seen! See jakks, if you actually take the time and effort, it really really shows and makes the product so much better! Im not too disappointed in the choice for sting because i was looking forward to seeing one in the jacket. However, the arms were meant for RA so they look too small. The padding looks potoshopped, i just hope he keeps the designs. It would be great if he had back jacket design but thats me getting hopeful. Morgan is a little boring, i dont think the likeness is too strong. Lethal looks great, no complaints at all. Shark Boy looks pretty good too. I like black attires for nash better so i quite like this fig but he needs wrist tape and elbow pads. The balloon arms are ruining these figures for me though.  I'll get the Sting but that's it. And is it me or does the Sting in jacket look like he has padded thighs? If so why use them now when the jacket is covering them? well as it's jakks, i'm gonna go with it being either painted/photoshopped, or they deliberately held back on using the padded thighs on the first sting to try and get people to buy more sting figures. either way it's pathetic. They definitely look photoshopped to me because i dont think jakks will attempt the tones on the padding and i would be absolutely astounded if they were molded. So i reckon they are photoshopped or only done for the proto. I'll find a way to B**** about it. i dont mind Sting in a jacket, that would be great, but why cant they give him a real jacket that you can take off, now that would have been awesome. and also they used a undertaker ruthless jacket, which is also to short. Glad the knockouts are in deluxe instead of ruthless The RA jacket is shorter on a DA figure because of the height difference HOWEVER jakks are actually right in this case. Stings jackets dont go down to his feet, they are more knee length like the proto has so using this jacket worked in their favour cause its quite accurate. |

Sting - The coat and the MMA gloves kills it (He is not the Undertaker)
Jay Lethal - Love the scan and the attire. But not having him in the kicker mold kills it.
Kevin Nash - There nothing wrong from what I see
Velvet Sky - Nice scan and attire. But I still don't think that having a DA/DA Knock Out mold is a good idea.
Matt Morgan - Love the scan (But his WWE RA 9 scan was better)
Shark Boy - Love this figure. (Can't wait to see it RI style)

Meh. Velvet Sky looks fantastic but the others look pretty bad due to part choices. I was hoping the Sting would have just White and black face paint so I could use the head for a fix-up.

Of course the Velvet figure looks better then the Mattel Melina. But let's be honest Melina isn't that great looking in person. Personally I think the Mattel Beth Phoenix is the best looking Diva figure either company has ever made in any style. But let's see what the final product looks like. I'm sure Jakks will mess up the eyes like they did with Sunny. Also what will her scale be? Will she be shorter than the male DA's?

If a wrestler looks was important, undertaker, for example, would never pull out the great figures he does... And besides, saying that Melina isnt that great looking in person sounds kinda:  |

ermm okay lets start in order of the protos
(Sting) ouch em im not enjoying this at all the deluxe and the coat arms thing dont work i hated all the figure thike this and the mma gloves do not go with Sting to me the stings a really big let down to the whole line (3/10)
(Shark Boy) i think this figure is really nice but one problem with deluxe is that to me Shark Boy isnt really hench and muscular as say Morgan but it looks it but still great figure (7/10)
(Kevin Nash) nice figure but the same as CTL series but i liked the protos better than the final product (8/10)
(Jay Lethal) WoW the best figure in the line to me the headscan is nice nd like the black machismo attire
(9/10)
(Velvet Sky) WoW this knockout deluxe figures are gonna look amazing just like Sky this is another of the best in the line (10/10)
(Matt Morgan) this figure is really nice teheadscans okay but i prefer his WWE headscan so if there the same size i will swap (8/10)
overall i will give this line a (6/10) the Sting let the line down and i think because the last line of protos rocked i this this was a let down

I wish Jakks would just make a series of "knockouts" based on how great Velvet looks.
