Alan Fine, Toy Biz President and CEO added, "Toy Biz is thrilled to be part of TNA, as it emerges as a dynamic worldwide force in family entertainment. Today's wrestler is a super athlete and Toy Biz has the experience and skill to capture their tremendous physical athleticism in action figures and toys.

The alternative for the true wrestling fan, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling prides itself on delivering quality, family programming that is clean, innovative, cutting edge and with the high-risk, high-flying athleticism that TNA Wrestling is known for.

Could this possibly mean... well-articulated wrestling figures? Ones that can actually wrestle instead of just standing there baring their teeth at each other? It could happen...

TNA could be great but they're too much like WCW was before its demise...sucky i mean. i'm sure everyone pining for a Jeff Jarrett figure will be happy though :\

I'm sorry, when I heard "TNA" Wrestling I was thinking it would be something else entirely. :D

And I don't think we have to worry about ToyBiz cutting back on Marvel Legends because of this. Back when they had the WCW license, pro wrestling was all the rage and comic book super-heroes were kind of on the back burner. These days the tables are turned.

This would be the best line of "Articulated," but the "weakest," wrestling characters ever. But it should be intresting to see. Jeff Jarret SUCKSSS!!!

You might not like TNA, you might not like wrestling but you have to admit that this will give you nice normal sized generic bodies... Maybe you can use them for your WWE toys... Who knows...

Well, if they could put in a whopping 38-40 points of articulation per wrestler, then it might be good.

And if they throw in a couple of women wrestlers in, NOW THAT'S FRIKIN' GREAT!!!
