Interesting...Figures Toy company already owns And operates wrestlingsuperstore.com, a wrestling toy & replica belt distributor. Looks like they sell a bunch of WWE/TNA stuff and manufacture a generic talking referee figure.

As a manufacturer, Figures Toy Co seems to specialize in retro TV figures...with what looks like a wide variety of quality and price levels (small, not-very-detailed figures...all the way to 12" tall really detailed looking dolls).

(This was a lot funnier in my head)



PS: Pretty cool, on their website, they already have a section up for ROH. http://figurestoycompany.com/ringofhonorwrestling.aspx

I really hope that these figures are smaller like the WWF and WCW ones from the early 90s. I want to make them all fight! :lol:

Pretty cool! Nice that they're going to have a "throwback" line with former ROH greats too.

As a ROH fan and a collector of action figures Ive been waiting for this for years.

However Im not overly thrilled with the choice of manufacturer etc. Their figures dont look the greatest, particularly headscans. Take a look at their site, a lot of their releases look like dolls rather than action figures. I really hope Im surprised by how these will look.

On the plus they do have the rights to use the old Jakks Ruthless Aggression bodyparts so there is potential for some neat looking figs.

Also hope these are easily available to us in the UK (safe to assume they will be sold on rohwrestling.com)

Really can't wait for these. As a MOC collector I hope they come in some sweet ass packaging.

I actually like the way the figures they have look. If you saw the Three Stooges one (which, by them even making Three Stoogies figure is absolutely comical and great), they're pretty spot on with the face. I've seen other manufacturers, for example McFarlane Toys, the figures they put out for athletes don't ever look like the actual athlete.

They should put a string on the back of Jay Briscoe so that he says catchphrases or quotes.

"You touch me again I'ma beat yo' ass!"

"You ain't nothin' but a big, juiced up, jelly bean mother fucker!"

"You bitch. You big bitch. You ain't nothin' but a bitch!"

"I'LL EAT YOU ALIVE!"

Does anybody know how legal it is to sell figures of guys like danielson or joe that have gone on to wwe or tna? And for that matter, Punk, who doesn't want anything to do with wrestling right now or Colt Cabana who doesn't want anything to do with ROH?
