Good lord, when is TNA series 4 coming out? 2009? geez this company is hella slow

The company just started you gotta give em a break. .

What company? Toybiz had plenty of time to get TNA series 4 out. I want that damn Petey Williams figure already. It just looks so good.

[MDCasino]

Sorry , I phrased that wrong. I meant the line of tna figs just started.

[JTG]

I only have about 6 TNA figs (most recent Monty Brown, which is awsome) and from what I have they are great. Unfortunatly they don't come to Canada as quickly as the states and they also take very long to be in stock.

TNA figures are made from such shitty plastics and rubber, they're not even worth a buck each. The joints are also horrendously designed.

Just got Monty today and I agree. Yeah us Canucks tend to lag behind the US (on a few different toy lines).

For those that say Monty Brown has a "weird hip joint", please elaborate. I noticed they gave him the 45 degree angle joints, which has been commonly used by TB since the ML9 Bullseye. The problem is when a character has a small crotch area (or so well endowed that the crotch area gets scaled back some) the pegs can't be anchored in straight on the normal 90 degree angle. To compensate the sockets the pins connect to are designed at roughly a 45 degree angle.

well i beg to differ as they sell for $7.99 which is about the best value for a wrestling figure on the market other than jakks old ttl crapthey still sell for some reason.

I have 9 tna figs and they mostly suck the scale IS WAY WAY WAY off

Thats probly the worst remark ive ever heard. No scale is as bad as the jakks figure scale. The only thing TNA messed up is the ring.



Yes , the jacks scale is perfect. Rey Mysterio is almost the same size as the undertaker.

(acording to OWR , Rey is 5'3'' and Taker is 6'10'')

who cares. TNA figures blow

OK, here are some scale references based off of figure height, wrestler height based on TNA's website bios and used a scale calculator to determine accuracy of the figure height. The ones I have done are based on the figures I currently have.

Monty Brown
TNA Bio: 6'2"
Fig Height: 6 5/16"
Calculated Height: 6 3/16"
Over by 2/16"

Jeff Hardy
TNA Bio: 6'
Fig Height: 6 3/8"
Calculated Height: 6"
Over by 3/8"

Christopher Daniels
TNA Bio: 6'
Fig Height: 6 3/16"
Calculated Height: 6"
Over by 3/16"

Shark Boy
TNA Bio: 5'10" (Since site doesn't specify must assume to top of fin)
Fig Height (to top of fin): 5 13/16"
Calculated Height: 5 13/16
Shark Boy is dead on (take that everyone who b:-Xed about Shark Boy being too small)

Chris Harris
TNA Bio: 6'2"
Fig Height: 7"
Calculated Height: 6 3/16
Over by 13/16 (just over 3/4" off)

James Storm
TNA Bio: 6'
Fig Height: 6 1/2"
Calculated Height: 6"
Over by 1/2"

Calculator can be found at the following site: www.printmini.com/calc.shtml

As you can see out of my collection, with the exception of the 2-pack AMW, the scale difference is negligable enough for nobody to care. I know there were alot of complaints about Harris being too tall, but I never heard one complaint about Storm (who is a half inch too tall). And I know there were complaints about Shark Boy being too small, yet he is the only one I own that seems to be spot on .

If you want to find out how off the Jakks figs are, take the wrestlers height and calculate/convert based on the 1:10 scale since that more accurately relfects the size of Jakks figs.

Unfortunately I don't have the heights of Mysterio figs or 'Taker figs to do a proper comparison of them. But based off of the heights MDCasino got from OWR, Rey should be 6 5/16" and 'Taker should be 8 3/16".

oncebt, would you like to retract your statement on TNA scale being off?

[MDCasino]

thank you Blud , tna is barely off scale at all.

[bludchylde]

No problem. I was getting sick of people complaining about TNAs scaling based on their being used to Jakks. It would be interesting to find out how far off the Jakks figures are based on the calculated heights I posted.

jakks scale is off. i put a mysterio mysterio fig beside my tt1 undertaker and mysterio is only about an inch shorter than undetaker. undertaker is like 6'10 and mysterio being like 5'5. it's a little bit off.

Well there are a few things to factor in when making your case. Most importantly, some people prefer TNA to WWE. Or WWE to TNA. That right there is probably the #1 think most consider when decided which line to consider. The TNA figs are ok I guess, I hate the action feathure thing and I personally think they're kinda ugly. Jakks doesn't try and they release way too many figures. It would take a rather large fortune to keep up. So really ... they both suck in their own way.

probly the most intelegent thing said so far.

dude screw the calculator...look at the damn figures....take the first Ron Killings figure and put him beside jeff jarrett? is ron killings 9 feet tall??? then take that jeff jarrett and put it w/ Chris Daniels??? daniels is WAY too skinny and short and his head is tiny....now take Daniels and Shark BOy and put them w/ Shark Boy? come on.....it seems as if some are in scale like jarrett, raven, brown that work w/ each other..then ya have daniels, sabin in scale w/ themselves.but they do not work w/ say heavyweights and x-division...i have said stuff about Jakks scale forever...I mean will we ever get an RVD that is not tiny? BUt TNA is worse....this is not my opinion based on a calculator it is by owning and hating the figures...and i am HUGE TNA fan and looked forward to these figures....I would have bought every one they make and dropped my Jakks collecting for them
and here we have mr.MDCasino talking about the most intelligent post and spelling it wrong....wow

Dude, the calculator is right. The problem is your misguided perception of what "scale" is. Unlike Jakks using arbitrary sizes, Toy Biz does this thing thats been done for a long time in the model kits industry. The size the figure is, is based on calculations made using the actual size of the object or person to be made and the "distance" aspect" they want to use (which emans if object X is y distance away and could be seen clearly on a flat plain, how small would object X be).

Shark Boy looks small because for some odd reason he is small (and is actual dead on size wise for the 1:12 scale). Figures like Daniels, Hardy and Sabin are all "close to the same size" because the actual wrestlers according to the TNA website are all between 6'0" and 6'1". The heavyweight division wrestlers should appear to be bigger (either heightwise or bulk wise) because in reality these guys tend to either be taller or bulkier than most of the X division. By the way, if Killings was 9 feet tall his figure would be 9 inches tall. I'm pretty sure the figure isn't that tall.

I have no problem with you voicing your displeasure with the actual figures themselves. If you think the quality sucks, fine I disagree but respect your opinion on it. If you absolutely hate the figures, thats your right. But to bash a line based on your displeasure for the scale when the line is actually close to being properly scale and then saying screw the calculator when the calculations show that a wrestler of a certain height should be a certain size when scaled down. I have shown you factual proof that Toy Biz is doing their best to keep the line to the proper scaling. In your mind only certain groups of wrestlers "work together" but in reality a good chunk of the line (like I said before, AMW are off by at least 1/2 inch and I imaging most action feature figs would be off by more than a mere fraction of an inch) does work together because in reality, if you put those wrestlers in a ring together and were to view them from the right distance away, that is roughly what it would actually look like. Just because you do not understand true scaling, doesn't mean TB is screwing the scale up. If you don't like putting the larger wrestlers with the smaller ones, fine, but don't make the complaint based on the scale being off when mathematically it isn't off enough in most cases to make it an actual issue.

[oncebt]

oh lord............as i said put the first ron killings w/ chris daniels and ya will se what I mean....I have met both guys many times.....and they ar enot THAT differemt in height like the figures......I complained to TB about the scale and thier response was "we make toys to be enjoyable to children...and we concentrate on the playability to children and not scale"

[thekick]

Some people really need to find a new hobby. Your Ron Killings toy is too tall! Call the president! this is a threat to national security. I guarantee anyone bitching about figure scale has probably never even touched a human boob let alone gotten laid.


(note to those who HAVE gotten laid: i dont care, i was just making a point, congratulations to you. doesnt it feel spectacular?)

[brethartfan97]

I like the TNA figures because each figure feels like its own figure, not just a new head on someone else's body.
