The Jakks announcement won't be anything major to me unless they say that DI 5, DI 6, and CTL 4 are being released this month and next month. There is nothing else that matters because announcing new figures doesn't mean crap when they can't even get their figures out that they already have announced.

I think someone needs to bring you a bucket of rainbows to eat for breakfast or something, man Why? I [much like others] have dropped $200+ dollars into the next three series of figures only for them to be pushed back time and time again. What can Jakks announce that will get me excited when they can't keep their main two lines on track? Yes, delays will happen but every series has been delayed with the exception of one or two. I pre-order something in December and now it won't come out until July [if it's released then]. So, yeah... I'm going to be a little pissed. So, unless Jakks announces they're going to be released soon, then I really don't see how much a major announcement could mean to me. EDIT: And this is coming from one of Jakks biggest backers on this forum. I drove to Orlando almost directly for the Slammiversary Figure Deal, too. So, I'm not some Mattel fan trashing Jakks because they're not Mattel. |

Jeff Hardy? I was freakin' right! I knew it! And with Matt Hardy? Oh, big deal! Major letdown. But, I'm not surprised at all.
Dixie Carter in 2011? HELL YES!!!! Everyone hates her, but I love Dixie!

Video 1 Thoughts: - Jeff & Matt Two-Pack? We don't need another Jeff Hardy figure, Jakks! You could have given us something better like AJ Styles with all the TNA Championship painted [think the HBK exclusive].  - Dixie Carter has had a head-scan done, excited about that one. Said to be out in 2011. - They are working on the Immortal Belt [figure and role-play belt]. No time-frame announced. - Real-Scale Four Sided Ring Exclusive out in 2011. Possible Ultimate X Real-Scale. "Things in the works". Great news! - Still working on NJPW figures; nothing really new. - Com mentors/Referees is a "possiblity". It's possible they'll be in a chase series wether it is the main line or in the ring. Maybe exclusive like Dixie. They want to make everyone associated with the roster. Yes! - May could see a commentator booth, etc. with a real scale ring. - Generation Me, Shannon Moore are coming out. No release date or series. - Ruthless iMPACT is on hold. |

Run down;
Jeff & Matt exclusive. Oct-Nov release
Dixie Carter will be out in 2011. Not sure if Exclusive or Main Line yet.
Working on Immortal. No date yet. Wanna do roleplay and figure one.
Are looking at Real Scale 4-side in 2011. Exclusive. Not sure yet, may be Ult. X.
New Japan License - Still active. Trying to get as many legends as possible.
Commentators, Refs, etc. - Def. possibility. They are looking at chasers. With ring, or maybe an exclusive.
Possibility of commentator table, etc. with the real scale ring.
Gen. Me, Shannon Moore - Should be in assortments in the 2nd half
Ruthless Impact line - On hold at the moment. Putting time into the regular line & 2packs

Very Disapointed to hear the news of no RI figure lineups, I don't much care for the idea of buying a DA figure just for the head.
Not sure a Hardys 2 pack is really a huge announcement but bless him for thinking it is.

I am really hoping part two has a question regarding tag team title belts [figures] and knockout belt [figures]. Madison should come with the KO in DI 6, that would make up for the delay.

I would love to find out about Knockout belt, and maybe Knockout Tag belts.
And maybe some more KO news. Like Sarita. ^_^

I love the way the creators at Jakks talk like they are actually going to have all this stuff out by the end of 2011 but meanwhile their figures are constantly getting pushed back. I waited like 2 months for my Velvet Sky from her original schedule release date. Don't get me wrong, Jakks has produced some awesome TNA fightes so far, they are Awesome but I just hate the constant hold up on their releases. As far as the exclusive, I knew it would have to do something with Jeff Hardy. But this time they add Matt. WHOOP DEE DOO! Give us something new like maybe a Jeff/Karen Jarrett 2 Pack or maybe Bischoff and Hogan 2 pack. Maybe even another Beautiful People 2 Pack, Im sure that would draw some money! |

I feel like this second part was like last year with Mattel. All was like; stay tuned. Pretty much. He couldn't say much of anything, or he didn't just know the answer.
My favorite announcement was def. Dixie Carter being released THIS year. Can't wait for her!
Knockouts;
Tara - end of 2011, beginning of 2012
Mickie - end of 2011, beginning of 2012
Nothing on Sarita. ):

Kind of disappointed in the Q&A, it was more of a "Maybe" than a Q&A. Some good info but nothing too amazing compared to years past.

^Exactly what I said. He didn't know anything for the figures. Glad Dixie was announced though. Now, all the ToyFair videos are done, I think, so hopefully the Valentine's Day contest winner will be announced.  |

Jakks guy seems sad.
I'm glad that my question was asked and asked pretty good. Unfortunately the answer is kind of weak. Jakks should absolutely be capitalizing on weapons and pack-ins to counter something that WWE/Mattel aren't doing at the lower price points.
Jakks should be very smart and try to do things that Mattel isn't doing. Jakks already has a lot of weapons and accessories already tooled. Why not release them? The price would be very cheap for them.
The Micro Impact arena not coming out? Sounds like he's mad that TNA changed their ring... But that was a great set and should have been released. That was completely tooled (at least the ring and cage you an get them overseas) so it's a shame that they aren't trying to produce it.
I understand not wanting to reveal all of their plans because of Mattel, but you have to give fans something to be interested.

Now, all the ToyFair videos are done, I think, so hopefully the Valentine's Day contest winner will be announced. Yup, I find it funny how we know more about the line then he does. We all know that Rob Terry has the Global Championship belt with his figure, yet Andrew didn't know that. |
